Wednesday night Ed Hanley, Of
Dayton, candidate for United Senator,
Rloatlngly told an audience at Mans
field that Governor Harmon was
party TO the scheme to stop the in
dorsemsnt OF 4 Senator at the last
State convention. This may qualify
him as candidate for Senator in the
eyes Of the great corporations, but it
doesn't at him as candidate of the
people for that great Office. In the
face of this Mansfield disclosure the
member of the Legislature that votes
for Ed Hanley for United States sena-
tor should be tossed into the political
scrap heap and banished from the
state. Good Lord deliver the Demo-
cratic party from any more Hanley-
ism. Another dose would be fatal.

A CHRISTMAS
FAIRY STORY.
BY AILEEN ORR.

THERE was once upon time a
little black boy called Billy.
Il He had lived all his short life in
a black camp with his parents
and a number Of other aborigines Of
the tribe Billy had never been very
kindly treated, and as he had a soft
heart himself he sometimes felt livery
much.
Now, one Christmas time, being left
alone as usual, with no presents Of
any sort and no treat, he began to
think Of all the stories he had been told
about the white childrens Christmas
and determined then and there to find
out what it was really like. He had
heard Of the Christmas hills in a coun-
try many miles off and planned to go
there, believing from their name that
these must contain all the mysteries
Of Santa Claus and other joys from
which he had always been isolated.
With a loving farewell to his own
mia mia-the little shelter of branches
which he had built for himself against
the thunderstorms-he set off with only
a piece Of opossum skin hung round
his waist for clothing and a boomerang
in his hand.

his wonderful toy under his arm
and sped down the hill. When he
reached the vineyard he saw the gar
dener still at work. so, asking him
what he would most like as a token
Of gratitude for the grapes, the old
man looked him up and down and
answered, "There is not much a little
fellow like you could do for me-"
81 can do my BEST" said Billy.
"There is only one thing l want"
said the gardener sadly, land that is
the little daughter l lost in the bush
a year ago"
No sooner said than the boomerang
went whizzing through the air as be-
fore, and in a few moments it came

HIM DOWN. would return with
the object of his choice and lay 1t at
his feet
But alas, there was a wicked little
goblin peeping through from the bough
of a peach tree, and, though he had not
heard about OF seen the boomerang,
he had caught all regarding the magic
opal and had seen Billy place 1t un-
der his tongue. So when the little
black boy had hidden goodby, thank
ing the fairies for his Christmas feast,
and started home again he was way
laid in the bush by the evil goblin,
who had followed him out Of the gar
den to rob him. Billy refused to give
up his stone and cried for help, but
the goblin knocked him down and beat
him till he lost consciousness. Then
the wicked creature forced open his
mouth, stole the magic opal and ran
When poor Billy recovered he soon
noticed that the opal was gone and
guessed who had taken 1t, but he was
in despair of ever finding it again, so,
sitting miserably on the ground, he
opened his mouth wide and cried long
and loud But this he soon realized
was a silly, useless thing to do. Just
then he spled his boomerang, which
he had quite forgotten, on the ground
nearby, and, remembering what the
blue fairy had told him, he picked it
up, and, jumping to his feet, he threw
it skillfully high into the air.
Away it swung without touching the
trees, and, sure enough, as the goblin,
a couple of miles off, was just admir-
ing his plunder, the boomerang lifted
1t out of his hand before his
very eyes and carried 1t back to
the feet of its rightful owner. Billy
shouted for joy, and, putting it
once more in his mouth. he took

A darky in the south who was doing

to return 1t as soon as the explosion

ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR

Billy journeyed for many hours over
paddocks and wire fences, wadlng
bravely through creeks water holes
and bracken underground. where the
snakes were very numerous and poi
sonous, ill he found himself in a beau
tiful valley between a blue and a pur-
Pile mountain. Approaching a vine
yard, he asked an old gardener where
the Christmas hills lay,
"Yonder." said the man, pointing
straight In front of them toward the
blue mountain. This is Yarra glen"
The little black boy was very hot
and thirsty, for the sun had been beat
ing Gercely upon him all the way
along. so he begged few Of the round
juicy grapes which hung In rich profu-
sion on the vines.
"By all means" said the good ma
tured gardener as he picked him the
largest bunch he could find. ripe and
inviting, with the bloom upon them.
Billy thanked him, saying he hoped
some time to be able TO return his
kindness, and. taking the fruit, he con-
tinued his way with light heart.
As he climbed and climbed. rising
higher and higher, the glen grew small
er and smaller below him till he could
not see the old man any more. Soon
the hill became so steep and slippery
that he was forced to draw himself up
from tree to tree by holding first on to
one branch and then another Blue
gum and wattles rose high above him
in monotonous grandeur till he began
to wonder where the Christmas trees

Whereupon, moved to sympathy, he

Billy was overjoyed and at her bid

they reached a wonderful garden filed
with brilliant flowers and fruit which
surpassed his widest Dreams Straw
berries grew in masses all along the
borders, and the trees were laden with
luscious ripe peaches nectarines, figs

Here they entered and the blue fairy
summoned ten other little fairies just

different colors, so that as they fitted
about him in the sunlight with their
floating gossamer gowns they looked

doomed by his friends over the State

campaigns in ohio-commencing with

TRAIN ROBBERS ARE
 BOILED BY BRAKEMAN

Weehawken, N. J., July 23.-tSpeeial.) Five masked and armed men tonight held up train No. 105 on the New York, Ontario and Western railroad, just out side the limits of this city. Four of the robbers invaded the train and forced a number of passengers to sur render their valuab1es at the point of revolvers. One man was left out side on guard to warn the robbers tn- side. The four left the train and made their escape, but the man outside was arrested. The train left here at 6:15 this evening bound for the northern part of the state.
 The four robbers entered one of the coaches from both ends. Two stood in the forward end of the car and covered the score or more passengers with re- volvers while the other two advanced from the rear and proceeded-to go through the pockets of the passengers. The robbers had gone about half through the car when a brakeman entered. In an instant he saw what was happening and pulled the bell rope, stopping the train. The four rob bers sprang from the steps before the train stopped and dashed off in the darkness.

 PrattyiIle

Montgomery, July 1S-(special)-John H. Wallace, Jr., state game and nsh commissioner. is pleased to note that the state of Louisiana has levied a tax of s4c a thousand on all timber cut in the state with which 10 provide a fund for enforc- ing forestry laws. Wardens are to be paid out of this. and it is thought that 1t will be ample.
 MT. Wallace looks to a new law in Ala bama which can be administered by the county game wardens already appointed. Most of the forest fires In Alabama come from sparks from locomotives and he thinks the best means to protection would be a law to have all rights of way kept clean.
 Fires not only kill all young trees to the age of 8 years, but so impair those up to 10 years of age as to render them unfit for the best service and growth. bills will be sent to the next legislature ask ing that midern and model law be es- tablshed in Alabama. If this is not done Mr Wallace believes that there will not be merchantab'e tree in the state in 10 years.
