FOR LITTLE FOLK JUST BEFORE BEDTIME
The Sandmans Stories.
THE GOLDEN GLASSES.

glasses-nnay I try them for while? I
understand that they make the world
look very beautiful
So. OF course, the boy took off hi,
glasses and placed them In the prin-
cess hands. But when the lad had gone
ana she tried to look at the country
through the glasses, she found that
everything looked just as 1t did before
nothing mad changed a bit
80 she sent for the boy, who was eat
ing a luLch OF cold bread and butter bJ,
me horse -trolghs, in the stable Yards.
What DO you mean, boy" she cried
angrliy, when he came into the room
dressed in his shabby suit and with a
ragged cap In his hand by saying your
glasses we're golden. and made all the
world look beautiful? ] have Just tried
them, and everything seems to appear
exactly like 1t did before"
Rota did not understand at first what
she meant-he did not know she had
heard him saying how dear the glasses
were to him. But presently he under
stood what she meant. And he also
seemed TO know what was the reason of
the beautiful princess being always III.
he saw the discontented look on the
pale face that looked out on the lovely
gardens. He saw the selfish nature that
was never satisfied with what It had,
and was always wanting other peoples
things! And stable-boy though he was
he knew IT was something no medicine
could cure.
So he said to the princess. "It is true
the glasses are Of brass. but they serve
me to look out upon a pleasant world
II one will appreciate their blessings
and look on the bright side of life. they
will find that all glasses are golden II
is the spirit behind the eyes that makes
life
The princess was angry at first But
she began to think about her own self
ishness, of the many lovely things she
had. and to appreciate them. She
thought of the boy sleeping on hay and
eating in the yard-how bright and con-
others. to make others happy and
change came over her appearance. for
In few months she was well; rosy; and
happy. She was at last looking at life
through Rota's golden glasses.
One day she called the boy In and
said, at is due to you that ] am we'll:
and to YOU belongs the reward. Go and
get your money"
The king was very happy to pay the
boy, being so much pleased at the
change in his daughter. And the boy
was very glad to get the money. With
it he built a nice home for his mother
and helped his poor relations. and was
for many years useful citizen. The
princess became on her fathers death
the queen, and her habit of looking
through golden glasses made her so be-
loved that she was known as the Good
Queen Florizel.

ployed in a cafe in G street near Fiji
teenth street northwest caused a show
er of bottles, old shoes, and other arti-

flow from the rooms OF guests OF the

guest of the hotel, was arralgned on a
charge of assault upon Bert Porter, col

NEW BATTLESH|P
WILL Be FASTEST
OF CLASS IN WORLD
Pennsylvania to Have Speed
of twenty-five Knots,
Is Plan.

The battleship Pennsylvania, the
one battleship authorized in the re-
cent naval appropriation bill. will
not only be the most heavily armored
and armed battleship but the fieetest
vessel OF her class in the world.
According to plans already decided
upon by the Navy Department. the
specifications for the new terror OF
the seas will probably call for a
maximum speed of perhaps 25 knots
per hour. secured by an increase in
length and draft over those dread
noughts now building. This increase
will give additional room for ma
chinery. greater engine efficiency,
and thus greater speed.
The new vessel will be $50 feet in
length, fifty-tive feet longer than
the Oklahoma and Arizona. now in
process of building
Although speed will be an essential
in the new battleship. the Navy De-
partment does not intend to sacri-
vania will be protected by plates of
steel of the same thickness as that
on the Oklahoma and Arizona. and
in addition a siXteen-inch plate will
extend over a larger portion OF the
hull and give greater protection un-
der the water line.
The Pennsylvania will have a beam
of ntnety-fve feet two and five
eighths inches. The Navy Depart
ment does not think it wise to make
this any bigger. in view OF the fact
that the Panama canal locks will
only accommodate vessels of 10 feet
beam.
Some idea OF the size of the new
dreadnaught may be gained by the
fact that there are now only three
drydocks in existence which would
accommodate her-the navy docks at
New York, Norfolk. and Puget sound.
The Pearl Harbor dock, at Honolulu,
now building, will easily hold the
new fighter.

~ NCE upon time there lived a
beautiful princess In great
palace set in a delightful gar
den of flowers and fountains.
About grew all kinds of fruit, and fruits
hung from the trees-there were stables
and ponies and trunks full of dolls, but
the princess was very unhappy.
The real trouble was that she had SO
much done for her that she did not ap-
preciate anything. The king and the
queen spent all their time and thousands
Of dollars In trying to make, her happy,
but she would do nothing but sit at the
window all day and pout.
So the king said that anyone who
would cure his daughter should have
high honors and a million dollars in
gold. A thousand doctors tried to get
her well, but all failed, and day by day
she grew thinner and thinner.
One day as she was sitting at the win
dow she saw a poor stable boy running
through the yard below. As he was
near sighted, he wore glasses, and their
color was bright yellow. He stumbled
and fell, and the glasses dropped, but
with a glad cry he put them on again.
"Oh! my beautiful golden glasses" he
said. Il would not have lost you for
so lovelyv

Apartment House Life
Is Tragedy, Says Bishop

NOBLESVILLE. Ind, Sept 2.-"The
modern apartment house is a tragedy"
said Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, of the
Methodist Episcopal church. in SER
mon at the Winona International Bible
Conference.
In the new apartment system" he
said, there is common dining room,
with prepared food brought up in trays
from a common kitchen. To maintain a
home there must be separateness.
The social unit Is the home, and If we
lose this we will lose a national asset.
THE person who says our public
schools are Goddess speaks a slander.
But do not believe parents can escape
the responsibility of training children
in the home. They ought at least to
try to speak grammatically in the chill
dren's hearing"

gunboat Vicksburg, which has probab-
ly succeeded in making repairs, has
cleared from Guaymas, led by the

their way to Corinto.
The reason why no word has come
from the Vtckshurg or Glacier, accord

Crowley Ridge Yellow Yam.


 Tie soil of Crowley Ridge which trayerseS St. Francis county from north 10 south is given up to be the finest on earth for the growth and culture of Yellow Yam sweet pota- toes. A. T. Hamilton, who lives on the ridge, about seven miles north of Forrest City brought Yam potato into The Times office Monday morn- ing which measures twenty inches long, and is one of the choicest speci. mems Of this variety We have ever seen. This potato, Hamilton in- formed us, was dug from a patch of less than quarter of an acre and was grown on land that has been in cultivation more than fifty years. From his small patch which Hamil- ton says consisted only Of twelve rows of about thirty yards in length, lie gathered about hundred bushels of potatoes The potato from Hamil- ton patch will be exhibited by Mir
 Nathan F. Norton aboard tue Ark ansas on Wheels train and is only another evidence of the great possi- bility of'the soil of Crowley Ridge.
