The Morning GlOry's Reward

Many hundreds of years ago the
queen CT the fairies was lost one dark
night in the woods. She had been to
fairy dance in the dell when coming
home she lost her way. Around and
lround she went, mile after mile, until
ner tiny fairy feet were all sore and
scratched. She had never known the
world was so big before. 1t really
seemed as If there were no end to the
great, black trees.
AT last, all tired out, the poor fairy
sat down under leaf to rest,
oh" she cried while she rocked
back and forth. 'if only l could find
some place to rest. I'm so very tire"-
If one of the flowers would only wake
up and take me in for the night"
But all the flowers were fast asleep.
None OF them heard the fairy queen
crying, and they went on sleeping,
rocking gently in the night wind.
At last the poor queen could stand
it no longer, for 1t was growing cold
In the forest and the terrible shadows
OF the trees were IKE huge animals
coming toward her. Getting up, she
crept close to pretty little blue flower.
"Please, sweet flower" she whis-
pered, I'm so cold and lonely and
afraid in this great, big place. Won't
you let me come into your house for the
nightY
"Why, you poor, poor lady" cried
the flower, "how miserable you must be
Come right in and I'll put you TO bed
i'm a nice. warm bed till morning"
The tired queen climbed up into the
flower and with a sigh of content let
the flower curl the warm, blue petals
about her and they fell asleep together
In the morning as soon as the sun
was up the fairy queen awoke and
slipped out of bed. She waited until
they had had their breakfast OF dew
then she said TO the kind foweri
Last night you didn't know who

Sun Dials

Very curious inscriptions are often
to be found on sundials in England
such as the one on Paper buildings, In
the temple, which bids one abruptly
x8egone about your business: and
again in Pump court one Is told that
Shadows we are. and like shadows
depart" Others on sundials are:
Behold we fly"
This is the day"
Learn to value time"
Il fly while you behold me-"
Enjoy the present hour"
THE shadow moves, though I am at
rest"
II set 10 rise"
Days make years"
II stay for no man."
The day flies"
Such Is life"
Man Is but a shadow"

Lying does not belong to me-"
THE brightest day has it's shades"
You pursue a shadow"
The sun causes the shadow"

was, but you took me in and gave me
half your bed. Well. I'm Queen of the
fairies, and / wish all the fairies of my
kingdom to know what you have done
and where they can find friend If ever
they are in the same terrible trouble
that befell me last night Hereafter
you and all your children shall have
the power to open wide to the sunlight
every morning, in memory Of the shell
ter you so generously gave me-"
So ever since then the morning
glories have been able to close at night,
keeping warm and snug through the
dark hours, with power to wake and
open to the first rays of the sun.

But were you ever shut up in

"Once."
How did you like it?"

Mary shifted: Did she like it? She
carried on so and got so scared and
had such high strikes they had to call
in the doctor. and she said she must
never be shut up in a closet again
however bad she was"
You see.' said the eagle, "and you're
only a little girl. What if you had the
great wide pinions and the piercing
eyes and the brave hearts of those two
poor eagles and loved to fly almost to
the sun and somebody came along and
stuffed you into dark cell without
your ever having done wrong? That's
what they do to the eagles. And what
good does it do?" Mary bristled: ITS
very educational for to be able to see
them.'
The eagle gnashed his beak. "Educa-
tional! Sweeping pinions! Educa-
tional! Would you call 1t educational
for you to be stuck in here to be
stared at and thrown things at and
poked fun at? Would you? If it's
educational. why don't the people look
at the eagles pictures and read about
nnl yiper
in their shame and suffering doesn't
educate anybody-except to despise
eagles.
People call the eagle the national
bird and put his portrait on their
money but when they see one of us
zard an eagle. Humph!' That's all
the education they get,
IF they want to know what an eagle
is let them climb a high mountain
and watch an eagle soaring and scream
ing in the storms over the sea. That's
the real eagle. But these poor jail
birds-hurricanes and horizons! they're
so homesick for the mountains and
their young and the clouds and the far
away ocean they aren't eagles at all;
they're Just poor broken. hearted con-
victs sentenced to life in spite of their
innocence. 1t isn't education. it's per-
secution 1t isn't patriotism, it's
treason; that's what 1t is
I'm going home to my father the
Elf King, 10 tell him about 1t, and ask
him to let me change myself into a
congressman and put in bill making
it prison offense TO put the national
bird in Jail"
The little girl had never seen the
Fairy Detective really angry before,
and she was frightened.
tt think I'll speak TO my father
about it," she murmured.
You tell him." the eagle answered.
IF he has heart In his breast and it's
an American heart. he'd better go TO
congress himself and end this wicked
cruelty. Clouds and cliffs, but it's
Wicked!'
And he flew back TO his perch In such
a rage that the other ca giles woke up
and leaped into the air. but their great
wings only beat against bars and they
hopped 10 the ground In despair and
drew the films over their poor old eyes
again.

COLONEL AMES

COurtmartial Order.
OUTCOME OF A SUICIDE

Lieutenant Janney Killed Himself In
the Ames Home at Fort William
Mckinley, in the Philippines, Fol-
lowing a Quarrel With His Wife,
Whom He Upbraided for Making
Gifts to Their Host.
Manila, May 19.-Upon instructions
from Washington Lieutenant Colonel
Robert F. Ames was confined to quar-
ters and will be courtmartialed on
charges Of conduct unbecoming an Of
icer and to the prejudice of military
discipline
The action against the officer is a
sequel to the investigation of the cir
cumstances which led Lieutenant Clar-
ence M. Janney of the Twelfth infan-
try, U. s. A., to take his life following
q dinner party at the home of Ames
at Fort William Mckinley. The sui
cide's wife remains at the fort and
probably will be the chief witness at
the courtmartial. 3
A Filipino coroner and an army
board of inquiry found that Janney
committed suicide and so reported to
Major General William HI. Carter, COM
manding the department of Luzon.
After examining the findings the gen.
sral returned them to the board with
instructions that it obtain additional
testimony covering certain of the fea-
lures of the case.
Janney's death occurred on the
night of March IL last On that even
ing Janney and his wife attended a
dinner given by Ames. Captain Will
lam II. Jordan, Jr., also Of the Twelfth
infantry, completed the party.
Quarrel in the Ames Home.
According to the testimony of the
witnesses taken by the board Lieuten-
ant Janney and his wife quarrelled
during the evening. Janney recog-
nized in the home of his friend a cham
pagne cooler which had belonged to
HIM, but which Mrs. Janney had given
to Ames. Janney upbraided his wife
because of the gift and harsh words
followed Finally Janney demanded
an apology from his wife and this was
made. This ended the quarrel, accord
ing to the testimony. and the dinner
was resumed.
A little later, however, Janney left
the house, returning soon with a re-
volver, with which it was testified he
shot himself, either through design or
accident, in the presence of his wife
and Colonel Ames. 1t was testified
that Janney had rushed into the dining
room and flourished the revolver while
he talked wildly. Before the others
could interfere, they said, he placed
the revolver to his head and fired.
Death followed quickly.
Following the shooting Ames was
placed under arrest, but preliminary
investigation of the special board of
inquiry having cleared him he was re-
leased
The only witnesses of the tragedy
we're Colonel Ames and Mrs. Janney.
Mrs. Janney testified that her husband
and Ames had been good friends.

HOPE TO CLOSE
/ PROBE SHORTLY
Investigators Would End
Ballinger Inquiry.
tn c0NEER WITH c0IINcEI
TO CONFER WITH COUNSEL
Effort Will BE Made to Conclude the
Introduction of Testimony This
Week, Arguments to Follow imme-
diateIy-Said Report Will Not Be
Made to Congress Until After the
Fall Elections.

Washington, May 19.-At a confer
ence of the Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
eating committee Senator Sutherland
of Utah was delegated to ascertain if
an agreement could be reached with
the counsel for a completion of the in
PRODUCTION of testimony before the
committee not later than the coming
Saturday. 1t is proposed that argu-
ments on the controversy shall begin
next week, after which supplementary
briefs may be filed.
At present ii is understood to be the
intention of the committee not to re-
port verdict to congress until next
fall, after the congressional elections
There is considerable grumbling
over this tentative decision, but as
Senator Root intends to sail for Eu-
rope next Saturday and probably will
not return in time to sign the commit
tee report at this session, and other
members OF the committee want plen-
ty of time to review the voluminous
testimony, the decision may stand.
Perkins May Be Called.
1t is expected that George w. Per-
kins of j. Pierpont Morgan K Co. and
a prominent figure in the Alaskan
operations of the Morgan-Guggenhe
syndicate will be called to the witness
stand in the congressional investiga-
tion of the Ballinger-Pi contro-
versy.
Letters marked personal and "con-
hdential," now on record before the
committee, show that Ballinger, soon
after becoming secretary of the in
terror, was in communication with
Perkins and on terms of friendly in
timacy with him.
Tne prosecution" desires to ask
Perkins about his plans for a trip to
Alaska last summer and about the
visit paid him at Yonkers last May by
Ballinger.
1t is considered probable that the
committee will also call City Engi-
neer Thomson of Seattle to testify re-
garding his efforts to obtain an engi-
neer for Perkins at Ballinger's re-
quest .Ballinger at first wished Thorn
son to go with Perkins, but Thomson
found it impossible because he wished
to attend the irrigation congress at
Spokane.

William, George and Herbert, who will
run that in connection with the stock
business bought by them year ago.
Mr.. Musson retains his implement house

partnership in the land business and
will devote their time to the sale of
Canada land having South Dakota for
their territory of operations. Mr.. Mus
son has run the business he has sold
during the last fifteen years but found
he had SO many outside interests that it
seemed best to let it go. Though he
will be away most of the time his fami-
ly will remain in their pleasant home in
Audubon.
