THE ENCHANTED CHAIN

fairy" said the elf. Children often
find her very difficult to keep after they
have discovered her."
Jasper and the Mischief now started
for home. The more Jasper tried to
loosen the claim the tighter it grew
until he felt so choked he was glad
to leave it untouched, and it gradu-
ally became a trifle less irksome.
Now began a time of torture for Jas
per, for the wicked elf was always at
his elbow, he made the boy tease his
from school and utter terrible un-
truths.
One day the elf whispered: Jasper
you must be more mischievous, you
are too good. 1 wish you to go out to
the barn, harness up the COW and we
will travel far from your parents who
are always scolding you"
Now you see, dear children, that Jas
per was enchanted by Mischief, so he
was obliged to obey; the patient old
COW looked at Jasper. in great sur
prise, when he harnessed her up: but
he jumped on her back and drove her
out Of the barn, then he and the elf
started on their journey.
After they had travelled all day and
night had come on Jasper was ter
ribly tired. He had not been able to
ride on the cows back, as her bones
were very sharp. How anxious he was
to reach the Wondrous castle that the
elf had promised should be his
When he was almost asleep the elf
cried: Behold" And he saw an open
door directly ahead of him.
Complete this story, telling of the Won
derful adventures which surely followed.
Did he find the fairy who could re-

a fairy dressed in silver armor and
red velvet cape who seemed to be
hunting for something as hard as he
could.
Are you trying to rescue the
princess, too?" asked James.
IT surely am" replied the fairy. "I
spend most of my time trying to rescue
her. but I've never been able to yet"
Let me help you,' said James; per
haps If we go together we'll have bet
ter luck. Have you any idea where
she is?'
mo, If I did it wouldn't take me
very long to get there, and besides the
king issued a proclamation just this
morning, promising her hand to her
rescuer-and-and- got to win!
So the frog and the fairy started out
together. They had not gone far when
the strangest thing happened.
Complete this story, telling of their
adventures, if the princess was rescued
or not, and who won her hand. The
completed story must be received in
this office not later than Thursday,

NEW TOPICS

My Own Dear Boys and Girls:
First of all 1 must tell the artists Of
a visit l had the other day from the
engraver. He came in with a worried
look on his face, and when 1 asked
him what was the matter he said:
you'll have to train your nieces and
nephews to make their pictures to a
better scale. One is of one size AMI
one another. Some have to be re-
duced and others enlarged. 1t makes
lots of work and is a waste of money"
You will have to comply with his
wishes, dear children. Make the ac-
tual picture four and a half inches in
width. You can have your cardboard
as wide as you wish, but be sure not
to vary the least bit in the width of
the picture.
The artists have been rather negli-
gent for the past few weeks and 1
have been almost discouraged. But l
always say to myself, ut must be my
fault. / will try to make the topics
more interesting" Sometimes 1 will
sit and wonder for almost an hour
NAiShI hllh vi llllliSsS Stll pOSS anu SltAS
like to do. I like to think of sub
jects which will interest you all.
1 hope that you will enjoy the new
subjects for this week l am not quite
sure if you like to write about school
things or if you would rather tell of
vacation experiences. After school, in
the evening you are filled with joy
at being released from your confine-
ment and many times l have seen lit
tie boys in the street playing an un-
scientific and impromptu ball game.
Sometimes it is only "catch," and
sometimes they are armed with all the
implements of regular game and will
fall to discussing and gesticulating
wildly as to who shall take the bat,
who the left field and so forth. Most
of you have seen the same thing and
many other equally as interesting in
cidents.
Saturday, the magic day for school
children, the day for which they wait
anxiousIy all week. The day of rec.
reation and fun. Usually the boys
NOV the lawn and help mother and
the girls help with the cleaning and
the cooking for Sunday. You must tell
me of your Saturdays. 1 like to know
what you are doing all the time.
You all have such good imaginations
I am sure you will have a fine time
telling who won that exciting race for
the hand of the princess and make the
adventures as wonderful as you pos
sibly can, am sure you will not come
far amiss.
1 wish I could see you all again
soon. am becoming almost home-
sick for another day with you. But
I will have to satisfy myself with your
letters, which hope you will not neg
lect to write. Lovingly,
AUNT LAURIE.

Dixie Publishing Co., is increased by
the fact that it is written by a white
man who is famous on both sides of
the water and who deals with the
subject without fear or favor. DR..
Abernethy is one of the one hundred
American authors elected by the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, and by birth a
Southern man. The book which is
entitled: "The Jew a Negro" proves
by Jewish historians and copious quo
taticns from the Old and New Testa-
ment, that the Negroes occupied the
highest positions in Bible times, and
ere the directdescendants of Moses,
Abraham, David Solomon, and the
other patriarchs. 1t goes farther and
declares that these great Biblical
characters were colored men, and rea-
sons it out with the historical daring
and evidence which ought to make
every ambitious colored person want
to read the book. This book is print
ed on the best book paper, bound in
cloth and can be procured from the
above mentioned publisher by mail
for SO cents.

An Open Letter.

Mr. Editor: While in a reminiscent
mood, recently, | was reminded thai
THE APPEAL was started in the yeal
1885 and therefore will pass the 25th
milestone of its existence this year.
What number of interesting
events have taken place during these
twenty-five years, what wonderful ad
vancements have been made by the
Atro-American citizens of the Twin
Cities in all lines of life!
And as I was one of it's early pro
moters and know much cr it's his
tory, ! believe it is no small thing
for a newspaper To live for a quH"te!
of a century InGeI the circumsta ices
which have sure unded THE Ap
PEAL, and it seems to me that some
sort ff celebiat on of the e"ent
would lie eminer:!y fit and proper.
and, I also believe that The citizens
CT the Twin Cities whom you have
served 50 faithfully and we'll would
gladly loin in making the event one
long to be remembered.
Ny idea is that a souvenir edition
of THE APPEAL be published con.
tanning a chronological history of the
events that have transDired during
it's existence, cuts and sketches of
prominent men and women, cuts of
the beautiful homes that so many
have become the happy possessors of,
and numerous other matters of inter
est that would make such an edition
a most valuable one for us ALL Then

I would suggest, if the idea meets
your approval, that you select a num-
Der of persons to act as a committee
to carry out such plans as I have ad-
varced or as you may deem most adj
visable.
Very truly yours.

MINES AND

DISCOVERED

The mineral wealth of the South has
hardly. been scratched. Untold mil
lions in gold silver, iron and copper
mines await the fortunate man or men
who discover their true location. .
A wonderful instrument called the
Spanish Magnetic Needle has recently
been perfected, which has been used
with wonderful accuracy in discover
ing both mines and treasures. The
needle has interchangeable parts de-
signed for use to indicate the particu-
lar mineral sought for. Lost and bur-
led treasures of money, gold and silver,
are located Successful miners and
prospectOrs use these needles, but in
the past they have been very difficult
TO obtain. We understand, however,
that the ProspectOrs and Miners Agen-
