T TITLE ELLEN stood as though
she were an image. Was it true
~ her many happy dreams were
really coming true? She was still more
startled when she saw the figure OF the
fairy advancing toward her with long
beautiful robes flowing in folds around
her, and her gauze wings that any but
terily would be proud to own.
"TIave no fear, fair little Ellen" she
said "Many times have / been near
you, but you didn't see me. I have
heard you wish that you might be
queen. Your wish is granted, you may
live the life of queen and have fine
castle, but do not go to the room below
the garrett"
With that she vanished. Ellen stood
still. she glanced into the mirror and
saw it was not the old cracked one, but
& large one. In it she saw most beau
tiful girl clothed in magnificent clothes.
She thought, could it really be her.
Then she remembered the fairy and
what she had said.
She lived for many years in luxury
and was never any happier than when
she was wandering about her many
rooms.
One day she passed the door of the
forbidden room Instantly her hand
went to the knob. But she thought OF
the fairy's words. Her hands dropped
again to her side. Then the thought
came to her, "Why not open it just a
wee little bit, it won't hurt" and with
That she turned the knob.
Tie door flew open, the room was
vacant. But in the middle stood the
same beautiful fairy. Ellen was fright
ened and wished she hadn't opened
the door,
You have disobeyed," said the fairy,
'sand for your punishment you must
60 back TO your former home, and be
a maid, ard learn to let well enough
alone.''
Fllen pleaded to stay but all in
vain. The fairy waved her wand and
vanished. Ellen was again in her
room. a much wiser little girl.

BASEBALL FANS To
HEAR LEAGUE
TALK TONIGHT
Harbuck Will Put His Prop
osition Before the Ell
Pasoans Tonight.

Listen, fans, Tonight at the chamber
of commerce the future of baseball will
be discussed and perhaps decided. Frank
Harbuck, of Shreveport and Leon Kahn,
also one of The hackers of baseball in the
Louisiana city win the paved streets.
are here to confer with local baseball
boosters in regard to establishing a
league in these parts.
Tonight they will make a definite
proposition to the supporters of base
ball in Ell Paso. Since they arrived Tues
day these two enthusiasts have been
making a canvass of the field here and
are very much encouraged over the out
look for the organization of a league
with Ell Paso as the charter team.
The advantages Of organized baseball
will be explained to the uninitiated to-
night at the meeting and the discussion
will be an open one in which all the fans
will be asked TO participate. Harbuck
and Kahn are both business men and
they have made the Shreveport team one
of the best paying teams in the Texas
league. They say they can do as much
for FL Paso and the other cities of the
southwest who are being considered as
probable members of the Cactus league
The meeting tonight is important and
will be the only way of getting a line
on the desires of the supporters of base
ball in Ell Paso both among the subscrib
ers and patrons of the game. No admiS-
sion fee or collection will be taken. Ev-
cry one who can make a noise like a
fan of the palm leaf variety is invited.

htW BOND |55Ut TO b[ V0T[D ON.
School Board Decides to Take 1910
Assessment as Base for New
Bond ISSUE

On account of the bond issue OF
$14, 800 voted this spring not being
enough to cover the cost Of
school building of the size and
character as planned on, the school
board has decided to annul the or
iginal issue and call another election
this time taking as a base the as
sessment Of the present year which
is CO onsiderably larger, and which
will enable the district to bound to
the extent Of about $4,000.
The wisdom of the board in doing
this is very evident, as it will mean
a saving to the district in future
years, when smaller and less sub
stantual building would be of prac-
tically no use.
Supt. Fred w. Dralle went to
Lewistown Sunday to ascertain the
exact amount of the 1910 assess
ment for this district, but it will be
impossible to secure this for several
days. 1t is thought, however. that
the assessment is large enough this
year so that by bonding to the limit
which is three per cent, the district
can be bonded to the amount of at
least $4,000. With this sum at
their disposal, the board is Of the
opinion the building can be carried
thru a great deal more satisfactor-
lily.
As soon as the amount OF the
present assessment is learned an
other election will be called. 1t is
expected that this will be about
July 18th, after which matters will
be carried right along. Fairminded
patrons of the school will concur
with the board in their action in
this matter, as to 60 ahead under
the present conditions would only
mean an additional and unnecessary
expense to the district in very
few years from now.
