the honey. she replied that a bee had
stolen it from her.
The queen well knew that this was
an impossibility and called her chief
advisers to her in council as to what
should be done with Blossom
Before another morning had dawned
Blossom stood in Marie's back yard,
not as a fairy, but as homely sun
flower, waving it's saucy head in the
breeze.
well, for goodness sake" exclaimed
Marie the next morning, as she entered
the garden; how in the world did
that ugly thing get in our yard?"
Couldn't tell you, miss" exclaimed
the gardener II 'specks it sprung up
during the night time"
WELL" replied sauey little Marie,
"you better pull it up before father gets
home tonight"
Whack! went the AK, and whack
again, and down came the sunfower to
the ground.
The gardener picked it up and car
ried it to the ash bin, where it was
soon covered from view by the dust of
the ashes.
The next day was exceedingly warm,
and the gardener took special care to
water the garden and to lay the dust,
and in that way the roots of the sun
flower were heavily sprinkled and be-
fore many weeks had passed was
standing almost as tall as ever.
We'll" suggested Marie, IF that
sunfoWer persists in coming up, we
may as we'll leave it alone"
That evening, when Marie's father
came home, his gaze fell upon the
homely sunfower
SAM" he exclaimed, in angry tones,
"why are you irrigating that horrible
flower? Pull it up Immediately"
Because, SIR replied Sam, Miss
Marie said to leave it to her"
"Well, are you being paid by Marie
or myself?" he exclaimed. cut it
down this instant"
The gardener stood with uplifted
hand, ready to cut it down, when,
just as the ak hit the stalk, it dis
appeared.
Both men stood in amazement, too
stunned for speech.
But now let us see what is happening
in Fairyland.
Blossoms time as a sunfiower had
expired and this is what she is heard
to say;
"Oh, Queen Mother, It's an awful life

came up to her When she stood near
her Blossom again burst into tears,
put her little arms around the queens
neck and said:
Il am so sorry for had 1 obeyed
your command I would not have been
taken up here, and now, mother queen,
won't you forgive this disobedient
Blossom? L will never do it again."
The fairy queen kissed Blossom on
the cheek and said she would forgive
her this time, but that she must obey
her elders commands as all good lit
tie fairies do.
Then they both left the house and
went back to fairyland again.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
At the sight of the beautiful play
house Blossom clapped her tiny hands
in delight and wondered what the dear
queen would say at such a beautiful
present.
Marie was a very wealthy little girl
and had all her heart could wish, so
that everything in her playhouse was
of the very finest
There were twelve miniature rooms
equipped for housekeeping, and for
Blossom everything was in perfect
readiness for a home for herself.
X On the first floor there were SIX
beautiful rooms, a living room, library,
den, dining room, kitchen and servants
sroom.
The second floor consisted of four
bed rooms, nursery and a large glass
porch In the tiny hammock on the
porch lay a doll, so lifelike that Bios
som touched it to see if it were really
alive"
Marie and the little fairy played
happily all day and (as are many other
little children) were forgetfuf of time.
1t was dusk when little Blossom
spread her gauzy wings for her home
ward fly, never thinking of her dis
obedience to the kingdom of Fairy
land, nor of what the queen would
say.
She had been with an earth-child just
long enough to learn what an untruth
was, so when the queen asked her
where she had been she replied:
Il was gathering nectar from the
sweet lilies in the gardens"
But when asked what had become of

RATHER THAN HALF

The difference between common sense
and mathematics was Illustrated in a
remark which was made in a school
one day.
1t was the mental arithmetic class.
The master asked Smith, (Which would
you rather have, half an apple or
eight -sixteenths of an apple?"
wouldn't make any difference" said
Smith.
"Why not ?"
"Eight-sixteenths and one-half are
the same'
At this reply Jones, who was sitting
near, shifted scornfully The master
heard him.
"Well, JONES'" said he, don't you
agree with Smith?'
mo, SIR" said Jones, 'T'd much
sooner have one-half an APPLE
"And why, please?"
''More juice. Cut up half an apple
into eight sixteenth5 ana you'd lose
half the juice doing it,

avenue school.
Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t seemed as if it had been built. just
for Blossom.
Now" said Marie, you may have
this house for your very own and stay
here always"
For many days Blossom and Marie
played happily together. and every day
Marie went early in the morning to
gather fresh, dewy flowers for Blossom.
One afternoon when Marie was play
ing with Blossom she heard her father
calling her Hastily lifting the top of
the doll house she put Blossom in a
bedroom, closed and locked the top
and went to see what her father
wanted.
Here is a basket for you, Marie"
said her papa, holding out a large
basket from which came curious
sounds.
Marie sat down upon the porch and
opened the basket and out tumpled
three chocolate-colored puppies
"Oh! OH" cried Marie, delighted with
her new pets, who were all trying to
show their love for their little mistress
by licking her hands and face.
The next morning as soon as she
woke she ran for frolic with her roly-
poly puppies In her joy over her new
pets Blossom was forgotten.
Poor little Blossom waited patiently
until morning, thinking that Marie
would surely remember and bring her
some flowers But with the morning
came no Marie. How small the doll
house was and how she longed for the
fresh air and flowers. She tried TO use
her magic power, but she found 10 her
sorrow that the talry queen udu Idhoii

Blossom wandered about in the tiny
house and called for Marie whose
happy voice she could now ana tneh
hear. AS the day passed she grew more
and more frightened, and late IN lhe
afternoon was on the verge or tears
when she heard the patter of tiny feet.
IT was Marie's baby sister, who had
run away from nurse
Stooping down, she managed TO open
the top of the house. With a happy
sob Blossom flew out and hid among
the thick, soft brown curls on the
baby's neck. -.
in. took the baby up and carried her
outside. Then Blossom kissed the
baby's cheek and flew back TO the
queen of FAIRIES to receive Whatever
punishment the queen saw fit TO give
her.
The kind queen thought she had been
nlInished enough, so after Blossom had
faithfully promised to obey III the lu-
ture, she gave her back her power.
Now Blossom often watches the emil
dren at play, but never lets them see

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When the fairy found herself In the
dolls house she was very frightened
as she saw the little dolls whispering
among themselves, Who can 1t be?
The little fairy was very unhappy, pc
cause the little girls closed the doors
and ran down the stairs.
The fairy went to sleep and
awakened in the morning to find the
fairy queen lift her from the doll S
house and fly away to their home, the
Garden of Dreams.

ELY, Nevada March 26.-For the first
time in several months the full battery
of sixteen McDougall roasters is in opera

During the past week. the concentrator
has been operating the full eight sec

tonnage of ore. from seven to eight
thousand tons per day, has been treat
cd Three of the four reverberatory fur
naces OF the Steptoe plant are in opera

down for refining At the converter plant
with clay about every shift. but the plant
is running at high state of efficiency
and turning out blister copper at the
rate OF about 200 90 pounds per day
At the powerhouse. the new Nordberg
blowing engine, with capacity of $4,000
cubic feet Of air per minute. has been
operating without a hitch since it was
first turned over about three weeks ago.
Aside from the blowing engine. there
is being developed In the powerhouse at
present electrical energy arnounting TO
about 5000 horsepower Most OF this
power is transmitted To the concentrator
where about 1000 horsepower is needed
when all eight sections are in operation.
Power is also transmitted to motors In
the machine shop. planning mill. roaster
building and To the reVerberatory and
converter buildings. The hydro electric
pumping plant in Steptoc valley near the
old McGill ranch is idle at present, an
abundant supply of water being furnished
by the @i-lnch pipe line from the reser-
Voir on Duck creek.

that this shaft was now 30 feet below the

being taken.

and not over 30 feet is expected TO bring

ist above, and which 6O-foot WINE
