Laughed Right
Out Loud.

- RIDsUMMER day may be scarcely noted hg grown folks, but e :
NW4M day that used TO be dear to the children. On the eve y midsummer
1WO day boys and girls believed they might get to see the fairies
"f you 60 to sleep on midsummer eve n a fairy ring yu viii
see the fairies and they win not be able to see you unless you speak or laugh
or cry" said daddy.
"once upon a time little Patsie, being out late In the afternoon and tired,
fell asleep. He did not notice that there was a little ring in the grass that
went right around the tree where he slept
"How long he slept he did not know, but presently he noticed that the
moor was shining, and he could hear the sweetest music coming toward him.
BY and by little figures no larger than the end of your thumb came tripping
over the grass n riding on moths or huge beetles.
"Ihe fairy queen came riding in a beautiful coach made OF woven moon
beams and drawn by eight milk white moths Of huge size
she had taken her place there the dancing began.
"Patse had never seer any dancing like it. though in Ireland, where he
lived, the people In very hne dancers And as they danced the fairies sang,
"The elves were weaving spells. On midsummer eve each fairy had the
right to name a mortal for favor.
"If no objection was made to the name the fairies would Join hands and
dance round and round the tree singing and weaving the spell that should
bring good luck for the coming year to the one named
There was Lame Pete, the cobbler, who was to set . new crubch for
Ioantng his shop one night when the fairy shoes were In need OF mending:
Pete had been polite enough to go right o snoring instead OF waking up ana
disturbing the fairies IS unmannery mortals sometimes did
"A great many persons had been named when Patsa heard his own name
called out. .s
"'Patse chased DOMAINS goat away from the rose where I was sleeping
the other day said the queen herself He must be suitably rewarded!
"Patie was SO pleased that he laughed out loud. In a. instant the fairies
were gone. and he was rubbing his sleepy eyes and feeling somewhat sim
in the joints after his long sleep OF the ground
"But he had spoiled the spell, for of course, the fairies were too angry az
being discovered to give him anything. But Patae often wondered what he
would have been granted If he had been able to keep quiet"

EDUCATE, NOT LEeIsLATE.


There are lots of people who ap-
pear to have a fixed idea that the
proper way to secure a reform is to
get a law On the statute books-and
then endeavor to enforce the measure.
This L. compulsory reform. The
methods arouse antagonism and OPP
position and defeat the objects aimed
at by the promoters.
There is another-and The Forum
believes q much better-way to bring
shout reforms. 1t may be slower but
when results are attained-they will
be permanent. The proper way to
bring about reforms is to educate the
people IN TO the ideas wanted-to
create public opinion favorable to the
plan to be promulgated.
This applies to moral as we'll as
civic reforms.
Temperate and persistent advocacy
OF reform methods-with a reasonable
tolerance of the opinions and views OF
others-and with proper publicity
will do more to secure results than
brutal and oficious law enforcement
This has been proven in Fargo. II
can and will be demonstrated again.
