More American Fairy Tales
JIMMIE AND DAN. THE FAIRY TOAD.
n YOUNGSTERS. AND THE 0LDsTERs, Toe

In his left-hand pants pocket was
what he valued most of all; his
playmate. his true friend. his chum
"A HORNED TOAD.
The toad's name was Dan. Jimmie
and Dan were all In all to each other,
for Jimmie's mother was very poor
and he had no other playthlngs.
Jimmie walked on and on until the
sun rose high In the sky and made
him very hot and tired. Then he
stopped to rest under a big maple
tree. The tired little boy leaned
back against the fine old maple
tree, with his big straw hate tilted
over his eyes. and soon fell fast
asleep.
Pretty soon Dan, the fat little
toad. popped out from Jimmie's left
hand pants pocket. Then he hoped
out on the grass. His sharp eyes
looking at Jimmie again and again
to see IL the boy would wake up
and Dan hoped onto Jimmie's
knee. and slowly. lightly, crawled
and crept to Jimmie's shoulder.
Dan kept perfectly still for a
stretched his neck, and standing as
high as he could on his hind legs,
placed his mouth close TO the boys
ear.
Dan, the fs)rned toad, seemed to
be whispering to Jimmie. the runa-
way boy. Pretty soon Jimmie be-
gan to talk In his sleep, as IL he
were answering his mother1
why, no. mother. avn not go
ing away--for love you too
much. I dreamed that I had. and
that you were SO worried about 1t
that II made you sick in bed"
Jimmie yawned and stretched
himself. and Dan fell to the grass;
but the boy never noticed it. First
he put his hand In his jacket pocket
for cookies to eat, and then he
said, II must give Dan some. too"
But Dan wasn't there. Jimmie
looked and saw his pet horned toad
hopping back toward home. Jimmie
started after him and they ran all
the way home!
Can II be-, children. that the
horned toad was q fairy?

linquish the instrument she was keep
ing from use. The conversation went
merrily on.
In despair the lady sought the cor
ner drug store. Seated squarely in
the center of the bench before the
telephone table was a woman SO
placed that while she talked over one
instrument she kept anyone else from
using the other. The sign above the
table read: please limit your con-
versation to three minutes" The talk
er was conversing with q girl friend
about one of her beaux. The exasper-
ated lady who was hunting public
telephone took up the book and
sought out her number; then she
stood by the table and waited. Five
minutes went by; the girl continued
her conversation. The lady took ont
her watch, and just IL minutes elaps-
ed before the girl put up the receiver
and walked coolly out Of the store.
This story Is not manufactured; IT
Is wholly true. And, being true, II
reflects upon the women. Public tele-
phones are not placed In stores,
banks and hotels as places where
young women may conveniently hirt,
or women plan social campaigns.
Still less as a convenience for girls
who wish to discuss the vices or vir-
tues of their beaux. They are placed
in business houses for the conven-
fence of people who have business to
transact. Selfish lack of considera-
ton is the reason why 80 many bust
ness houses have installed pay tele-
phones with q time limit to conversa-
ton.

II was In a big department store
which was always crowded. Above
the telephone sign announced:
This telephone is for the accommo-
dalton of our customers; please make
your conversation brief"
A lady came hurriedly to the
phone; her business was urgent. AT
the phone stood a girl, and the lady
heard the following:
mo: guess again. You don't know
me? Well, am surprised. Mono
mono, I won't tell you; you've got
to guess. oh, pshaw; yes, you can
remember. He! he! that Is good
one; guess again. Clara? So you are
thinking Of Clara, are you? Where
did you see me last? Umph, won't
tell you. oh, you guess; / want you
to remember" And SO It went on
minute after minute, while long
line OF impatient women stood first
on one foot, then on the other. They
had gathered during the guessing
contest, which promised to be con-
tinued indefinitely. The lady who
had been waiting to phone the i'm
portant message left and crossed the
street to use the phone In bank.
In the ladies' room she found two
women, one on each side of the table
which held the telephone instru-
ments. Each woman held phone
in her hand, while the two of them
discussed some plan which they
must decide before the telephones
were used. The lady stood by the
table and waited several minutes;
