Juvenile Good Roads Leaaue.

A town in New Jersey saw the eco

as a means Of recapturing scholars
who had gone to the city schools. A
Vermont farmer declares that improv-
ed roads mean larger districts and "A

roads are costly and most costly when
lack Of timely care allows them to go

Washington that junior road leagues

Then the boy, the dog and the cat
sat down upon the snakes back, which
carried them to the ocean.
There the snake gave the boy a whis-
tie and said:
Just blow this whistle and all the
animals will come to you
So the boy whistled and suddenly
great host of queer monsters came up
from the deep of the ocean; they all
came close to him and kissed his foot.
Then the snake went on with the boy,
the dog and the cat. From the shore
he carried them into a little wood. At
hollow tree the snake stood still and
said:
Get into this tree"
Upon that he gave the boy another
whistle.
Just blow this whistle and a IL
headed dragon will appear: this dragon
is my father" said the snake.
All of a sudden they saw a IL headed
dragon marching toward them.

"An eagle kidnapped me and let me

snake.

EGYPTIAN CHILDREN

The babies of Egypt do not have such
good times as the little ones in Amer
lea, for their heather mothers and
fathers have queer beliefs. When a
baby is born in the land of the Nile
there is always great JOY but there Is
also great fear that an evil spirit may
work it harm. BY making the infant
ugly ii is supposed that the spirits with
evil eyes will pass by the cooling little
fellow. On this account baby is nei-

Sometimes the mothers even blaeken

or cover them with black wells. When
relatives or friends call to see a wee
little Egyptian they do not tell his par
ents that he Is pretty or cute, the COM
pliments the American mothers like TO
near.
Instead the heather people please the
loving fathers and mothers by saying
What an ugly baby how frightful
~iooking!" At this the parents smile, for
they know that the remarks are only
made to fool the evil splrits Sometimes

RETOLD FROM THE HUNGARIAN ny
LOUISE SOUVAN

n nee upon a time there was a mill
Ter who had a son by the name of
Karoly. He was a good and a
smart boy, AMI in school he had many
chums. Not far from school was the
ocean, where the children went play
ing and fishing. one day they were
these and all Of sudden they ished
out beautiful little cat The miller's
boy took quite fancy to the cat and
wanted to have it, so she asked them
to let him have the cat, but they said:
we won't give it to you; it's a very
beautiful cat and you have not got the
money to pay for it,"
Let me have the cat; here are two
silver pieces-t!lat'I do"
The boys were satisfied to get the
money and gave the cat to him. He
carried the cat home. At home his
father and mother were glad to have
such nice cat. Now at last the mice
in the stable would be caught
The following day the children fshed
again, and this time it was dog they
got out of the water. Again the mil
ler's boy asked to have the dog. He
had purchased the cat, so he wanted
the dog too
The dog is even more expensive than
the cat said the children.
II don't care if it is / have three
silver pieces which 1 will give for it,"
said the lad. He bought the dog and
joyfdlly took it home, and his father
and mother were also very glad to
have the dog
The third day they went out again
and fished about until they caught
beautiful snake. The lad insisted on
purchasing this. too, and gave four
beautiful silver pieces for it, This time
though, his father and mother got very
angry The idea of bringing home such
horrid reptile, which couldn't do
blessed thing! The boy worried and
worried and finally said to his father
and mother:
IF you feel thus about the snake
am leaving the house,"
He put the snake under his shirt, the
cat he took upon his arm and the dog
ran beside him. Thus he marched to
town.
While passing the royal residence the
kings daughter was just looking out of
the window. She liked the boy and said
to her father:
There is a handsome boy passing by.
Take him into your service"
Immediately the boy was called up.
When asked what kind of work he was
seeking he told them that he cared not,
but would be glad to do whatsoever he
was commanded.
So the boy became gardener there
and worked and worked in the garden,
and as he was an industrious and hon
est boy the king was very fond of him.
Suddenly one day the snake COM
menced to speak:
'Karoly, my dear master, do not work
so hard; go to the king. thank him for
his kindness and let US go on
For long time he could not make
up his mind to do what the snake sug-
gested to him, for he was sorry to
leave, but at last he determined to
obey the snake and went to the king.
Now, my dear MASTER said the
snake, you took care Of me so far.

HOW THE MILLER BOYS KINDNESS MET A RICH REWARD

They wrestled until the dragon had to
give up the ring.
The snake gave the boy the ring and
said:
put IL upon your finger. If in need,
turn it three times and three grants
will lump out and instantly carry out
your command,
The lad put the ring into his pocket
took leave of the snake and wandered
home
After while he took out the ring.
put 1t upon his finger, turned it ana
out sprang three giants.

as he wished. AT home his father ana
mother were sitting in a castle, but
they did not know how in the world
they came there.
Then the boy told them all that hap
pened The following day the lads
mother went to the king and said that
since her son had also won Kingdom
he wished the princess as his wife IL he
could have her.
HE can have her If he can stand the
tests" said the king.
what are the tests?" demanded the
woman.
Nothing else but that from my
castle up to his IL regiments of sol
diers shall be posted over night, with
as many bands playing, one more beau
tiful than the other"
The mother returned and told her
son what the king had said.
why, dear mother, my smallest care
is bigger than this one" said he.
At midnight he went out of the cas-
tie, turned the ring and the three
giants jumped out of it.
What is your commando"
Nothing else but that from my
castle up to the kings twelve regi-
ments of soldiers shall be posted, with
as many bands playing, one more
beautiful than the other"
Early the next morning the king
looked out of the window and almost
fell on his back-why there stood the
~ regiments of soldiers, and. the music
was too beautiful to tell.
The mother again went UP to the
king for the second test. Said the
king:
"Over yonder is that awfully bare
mountain. / wish that by tomorrow 1t
shall be turned into a vineyard from
which two quarts of wine shall stand
upon my breakfast table,
The mother reported it to her son,
who said:
my smallest care is bigger than
this one"
At night he went out turned the
ring and there were the three giants.
What can we do?"
Nothing else but this: Out of town
is bare mountain which you shall
turn into a vineyard, and from its
vines two quarts ought to stand upon
the kings breakfast table by tomor- /.
row morning"
Thus the youth went back into the
castle, lay down and went to sleep.
Early in the morning the king got up
and there were two quarts of wine
standing upon the breakfast table.
What could the king do? He gave
him his daughter and prepared for the
wedding feast. Soon afterward they
married. The young couple were very
happy and the king, too, and I believe
they are living still If they have not
died.

Two LsFollette Amendments Win.

Last Thursday Senator LaFollette
secured the adoption of two important
amendments to the administration rail
road bill. One requires the interstate
commerce commission to make semi
annual analysis of all tariffs and CLASH
iications.
Mr. LaFollette then offered a substi-
tute for his amendment to the bill here
tofore adopted, placing telegraph, tele-
phone and cable companies under the
jurisdiction of the interstate commerce
laws The substitute would prohibit
the use of franks or special rates by
government officials or candidates for
public Offices, but would permit the
giving Of special rates to newspapers
and to the government for official bust

to sell what he hasn't got But it is
mighty useful, as the great students of
economics whose works are accepted in

allow those of cynical mind and cold

cooling to a speculative fever, be it in
