H a story about something which is supposed to have happened many.
III many years ago. 1t is about a farmer who went up into the clouds
and can back again to the earth
Pooh. hat nothing!' said Jack. we're telling us the other day
about q mar in d aeropiane who Few higher than tbs clouds" -
That made daddy laugh out loud Yes" he said, but this happened ~
fore there were n aaopanes. This farmer was phwfng In his field with q
pair of oxen. He was lot paying much attention to the oxen until he reached
the end of bis furrow, when all at once he looked up to find that a strange
thing had happened to the animals Their horns were beginning to grow
high u of their heads, and as he looked at them he saw them keep right D 4
growing. When he drove the oxen home be could lot get them through the
stable door. 81 he sold them to a butcher who was passing by.
1.-THE butcher agreed to gNe for the ken rs many dollars, as there we're
seeds In a measure full of turnp seed. The farmer thought he vas lucky % get
so much money fr hs oxen. He filled a MEASURE with the seeds and started TO-
go to The butchers shop but ON his way be iosto IN of the seeds from this
measure. Sc. you See, he lost a dollar when he reached the butchers. The
seed dropped IN the road and commenced to sprout
by the time the farmer reached the spot o N his way home the turnfp
seed adsrown into an immense plant with roots reaching far down into the
ground. with tops SO high that they almost reached the sky. The farmer
was a bold fellow, SO hi decided tocimb up and sex what the people In
the clouds were dong. Up up. he climbed until It seemed that he could
climb % higher, and when he got to the top he found himself among tbs
clouds, in q strange country. with people at work thrashing oats and cnoppfne
trees and doing other work. This is very interesting said the mar. but not
very much different from conditions a home So he picked up a small S
Ratchet for a souvenir and began to climb down again. but he had scarcely
started when be felt the big plant shake. He looked down and Jaw ONE os
chcpping It the roots. Tt will be a bad business Tor m II this plant falls
with ne and falls o top of me- said the farmer. sc he jumped down.

He brought the hsrchet up with him, and when the people of the earth

the cake. Mrs. Mackay cuts the cake

she who gets the ring is queen. Fol

Children's Parties.


Children's parties are as difficult to
carry off successfully as the more for
NAL functions Of the grownup world.
So any new idea is apt to. be welcomed
by the despairing hostess that win add
to the entertainment and enjoyment Of
the youngsters.
An attractive affair that was recent
ly given a youngster was a doll party.
The little guests were girls, and the
basis of the fun was a doll hunt. car
ried put after the manner of a cobweb
game.
Gayly colored ribbons made a cob
web which was arranged In the center
of the room. A card with the name OF
the doll that was to reward the search
err was fastened to the end of each
ribbon.
And after half an hour of bewilder-
ing winding aud unwinding each little
girl came upon Il pretty little doll.

SO here is the Golden Rule, truly and
without disguise. Unfortunately it is

Ii would be pleasanter to pass along

CHOICE OF LINEN.

in the weaving of inferior grades.
Linen has one limitation. Il takes
color readily. but the leaky fiber is
apt to lose some Of the color under
the influence of sunshine OF moisture
or in the laundry. Authorities say
that there is no sure process for fix
ing color in linen. Therefore, high
