Jasper and the elf jumped off the
COW and ran into the castle. Looking
about him he saw the queerest furni-
ture and pictures. How interesting
everything was He nearly forgot
mother and home as the elf led him
from room to room.
The elf told Jasper that since he came
he must stay for a while. So instead
of fretting he began to explore. Like
many other castle explorers he found
secret drawers and passages.
He spent a great deal Of his time in
the attic because things up there were
ali tumbled about and he didn't have
to put it in order again.
One day he told the elf that he would
run away if he Che elf would not
take him home soon.
But the elf laughed and said: you
forget that you are still in my power
and always will be until the fairy Good
Resolution will remove the chain"
Jasper thought for some time and
finally made up his mind that he would
seek the fairy and then go home.
Something in him told him that he
would find the fairy in or around the
castle. He began to look for her at
once, and, beginning with the attic,
searched way down to the coal cellar.
He even looked in the icebox and in the
furnace.
Finally he gave up his search and
went to the orchard to mourn over his
disappointment.
While he was sitting there he saw
He was rather glad, because now he
could pour his troubles into someone's
ears! The girl, although she looked
very young, was kind to him. When

Once upon 4 time there lived little
fair-haired child who was known to all
who loved her. and these were many
as Bonnie, sweet Bessie" for very
bonnie she was indeed, and as sweet in
disposition as anyone could wish.
Bessie lived in a town where land
was plentiful enough to extend in a
little plot around most houses. and so
a porch and garden were her most
priced possessions. This was before
she was given the gift which is the
subject of this story
One bright afternoon a friend took
Bessie for a long walk up one of the
fine hills which surrounded the town.
and while they were admiring the
beauties of the country he told her the
parable of the talents, which most chill
uren learn about in Sunday school.
You see, my dear" he went ON to
explain, "all the gifts we are given,
both earthly and spiritual, can be put
to good use, and that is why / have
told you this old story again. BE sure
that you remember it well, and prove
to me that you have
Now Bessie was greatly perpteXed as
to what her kind friend might mean.
but as he usually had very good rea-
son for his remarks she did not ask
him any questions, but waited to see
if he would explain later. Her patience
was rewarded next morning when a
crate was left at her door by an eX-
pressman and was found to contain
three of the downiest. huffiest little
chickens that ever graced an Easter
window Thees were no make believe
chicks, however, but really, truly alive
ones, peeping with fright at their
strange surroundings.
Bessie suddenly remembered the
words of her friend about gifts, and
felt certain that these peppers came
from him. Then she determined that
she would take the best care of them,
so as to make the best of such
Lretty present, and not be like the
foolish man in the Bible who hid his
money away, for fear of losing it. Bes-
sic determined that she would tend her
little golden chicks, whose fluff just
matched her own bright locks, with the

fer's care and industry in tending her
nets and after some months had gone
by Bessie had the great delight OF
gathering two eggs each day laid by
her own little hens. This was surely
enough to make any child dance with
glee, and Bessie could scarcely wait
to skip over to her friends house to
carry him such delicacies for break
fast He was not able to say all he
really thought, but he beamed on the
little girl and said:
'My dear, your talents, l see, are
increasing. In order to help the goou
work along, let me know when your
little hens want to set. as all right
minded hens in time do, and will Sc
cure for you some prize eggs, SO thaC
you will have many little thoroughbred
chicks in time, besides your older
ones"
BY and by this glad day came. and
fer three long weeks thereafter bessle
watched her patient little hens-her-
self not half so patient as they were
sit sit, sit all day long upon their
nests of golden straw. Bessie saw to
it that it was as clean and cleaning
as anv straw could well be, SO that 1t
might shine as bright as her own halr.
Maybe it will help make the BABY
chickens golden, too" she thougnt' 10.
Bessie was a most poetlcal cilllu anu
liked to play at fairy images.
Whether it was because of the gold
en- straw's reflection, or of the little
girls glowing hopes and industry or
of the dutiful, motherly patience RoI
the little hens, cannot say, but DO
know that on a golden Easter morning
forty wee golden heads peeped tnroush
their shells, and 10! Bessie found her
self the pround owner of most re-
spectable flock of fowls. as fluffy and
yellow as anyone could wish.
SO it happened that this little girl
took the lesson of the talents so we'll
to heart that she in time became very
prosperous in her chicken business,
and, owing to the interest of her kind
friend, secured many blue ribbon prizes
at poultry shows by the beauty and
aristocratic bearing of her first golden
chicks descendants, and S. gold pieces
sometimes came her way as well!

But Jasper thought he would rather
make Rover comfortable than himself,

Going on farther, he saw something
scratching and screeching, all done up
In a sack, and when he opened the
sack he saw the cat he had put in

"Come this way" she said, and then
lead the way to o small room with
only one chair and table, but strange
to say, it was (the room), surrounded
by mirrors.
''You stay here" she said, "and when
you learn how to keep your resolu-

So saying she shut the door with a
bang. Poor Jasper was left alone to
consider the situation.
''Wonder who she is? She can't
be the fairy Good Resolutions. for she
is tall, he soliloquized.
Suddenly he heard noise. and then
through a trap door dish was
placed on the floor. 1t was nothing
but black bread and water. In this
manner came every meal, and always
the same for f1ve days until at last he
got frightened. And. too, instead,

to see handsome and robust lad he
saw a thin, sour, pinched face ana

Suddenly a tiny, shriveled up little
woman appeared ON the table.

him what he was going to do.
''I am going to find the fairy and ask
her to set me free from the eIf's power.
Then 1 am going homeland to school,"
he added in whisper.
The girl asked to see the chain and
Jasper showed it to her.
How beautiful" exclaimed the girl,
and going close up to him she touched
the chain and it fell jingling at Jas
per's feet.
'You have set me free. and the elf
said that no one but Good Resolution
could make me free"
"And 1 am that same person." said
the girl as she removed her long cape.
She stood before him dazzling fairy!
After the fairy was gone Jasper went

The open door was the entrance to
a large cave, which was very black
and dark inside. The elf seized Jasper
by the arm and told him to go into
the cave Immediately. The poor boy
shuddered at the thought, but obeyed,
for he was under the elf's power.
"You shall remain in this cave until
the chain is taken from your neckC'
said Mischief, and darting off through
the trees, he disappeared.
Poor Jasper was broken hearted, for
the naughty elf had not taken him to
the castle as he had promised. He sat
down on a stone just inside the-caVe
and cried. He soon fell asleep, for he
was very tired, but was suddenly
awakened by a queer noise which
sounded like a cat in distress.
Jasper was afraid to venture into
the cave on account of the darkness.
But he was surprised to hear a voice
say:
Stranger, do not be afraid. 1 was
once a little boy myself, and a cruel
elf changed me into a cat and placed
such heavy stone on my tail that
can scarcely move"
"Oh! how cruelI" exclaimed Jasper,
relieved to hear friendly voice in the
cave.
"You poor thing" he cried, IT will
try to relieve you of that weight" :"
and he reached out his hand to remove
the stone.
"Thank you," said the cat, "I will
help you now I will run to the castle
where the fairy Good Resolution
lives and perhaps she can help us
both"

A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and
 Effectual Cure for It

 been considered the next thing to in- curable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloated sensation after eating. accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings. a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart ard lungs and difficult breathing, head aches, fckle appetite, nervousness, and a general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth. coated tongue and if the in- terior of the stomach could be seen it would show slimy, inflamed con- ditions.
 The cure for this common and ob- stinate trouble is found in a treat ment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stom- ach. To secure prompt and heal thy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal diges- tion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson. the saf est and best treatment is to use af- ter each meal a tablet, composed of Tinstase- Aseptfc Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with per feet safety and assurance that healthv appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 Mr. R. s. Workman, Chicago, Ill., writes: ''Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head. whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom pass ing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure. but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dys- pepssa Tablets. I cannot find appro- priate words to express my good feel ing. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as we'll as the sim p1est and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, billousness, sour stomach. heartburn and bloating after meals.

BANK REPORT
 READY DEC. 1 Exact Condition of 7,20O Ma tiOnaI Institutions Will be
 Revealed. PREDICT FINANCIAL MOVES Country Banks and Other Large Bor-
Country Banks and Other Large Bor- rowers Making Preparations for
 Good Showings.

Washington, Nov. 16-The condition of the 7,2O0 National banks of the United States will be revealed about come in answer to the call issued by the comptroller of the currency two days ago.
 The complete report will reflect the condition of the banks at what is re- garded by bankers as probably the most critical time of the year. Many officials of the treasury department be- lieve the banks will be found to have been fortif ed to meet the exigencies of the autumn months. That the de- mands upon the banks will be large is generally conceded. It is estimat- ed that in addition to being called up- on to finance some important opera tions. the banks will have to make the usual year-end settlements, amount ing to some $150, ,000, 900 or 10000, 900 before December 1st.
 Great interest attaches to the condi- ton of the southern banks after the seasons operations in cotton and also in the extent to which the banks of the west have reduced their loans.
 It seems to be generally known among bank officials, however, that a great deal of money belonging, to the interior banks which has been placed on call in Wall street, will probably be withdrawn before the end of the year, and the best advices today were that Wall street borrowers, anticipat- ing such withdrawals. have begun ar ranging for loans from abroad.
 Reports from the west and the northwest are to the effect that any local money stringencies appear to be caused by spectators and farmers holding crops for higher prices. In many cases banks have been reported carrying such situations at high rate of interest.
 The information available on Dec. 1. will show what the condition of the banks was on November 10 and in the ex'gencies of crop-moving season there is plenty of room for change before the next call is made.
 It is freely predicted that a great portion of the millions held in the large banks of the central reserve cit ies will find it's way back to the coun- try banks whence it came.

Selkirk, Man., Nov. 16.-From in- formation received here, it appears that the steamer Wolverine, which has been missing for over three weeks, has foundered in Lake Winni- peg, with her crew of fourteen and a passenger list of 66.
 There is a chance, though a small one, that the passengers and crew have escaped, but if they have, they are marooned on some island and will have to stay there until they can get out by dog sled. when the lake has frozen over solidly.
 Every effort has been made to dis cover the whereabouts of the steam CT without success and, apart from the report received from a native runner, to the effect that she has foundered. nothing is known of her here.
