GITCHEE GUMMEE GALS.
Once there was a club OF married
women a dozen and two
Who round their fancy work would
grin and giggle and gossip.
A gossip we all despise,
You know IL is not wise,
To break up home ties.
To their club they themselves betook,
And II they hadn't time to cook
Some -four and water they would stir
Without butter, eggs or milk would
cook
And call II a cake, but the men they
called II a fake.
Now here is to lovely, graceful, win
some women.
Tell us, are you saint or human?
There are times you sadly vex her,
Puzzle, plague, sore perplex her.
There are times We sadly doubt you,
But we couldn't live without you.
This was one of the most enjoya-
BILE meetings the club has ever held

FOR LITTLE FOLK JUST BEFORE BEDTIME
The Sandman's Stories
THE MAGIC POWDER.

y N THE grounds of King Westel's
palace, which stands on the further
border of Far-away-land, an old
gardener planted wonderful flowers
All of his family had been in the SER
vice of the good King, and as far back
as he could remember father and son
they had labored to make the gardens
more beautiful. 1t was always sunny
In that land, and the flowers grew all
the year round, but the ugly weeds
thriyed just as well, and 1t was a con-
slant struggle to keep them from
plants In the garden. So one of the
great-gra ndfathsrs of the man our
story is about went TO the home of
the Gnon'es bearing a beautiful flower

return. Give me something that will

thought the bubble was. the prettiest

small box. Into this they poured the

this back 70 your garden" said the
'inome, "aad sprinkle a little on the
weeds and they will die even down to
ground and feed the plant. All will be
frozen by this magic powder. But you
must be very careful not to touch the
flowers with 90 much as q Tiny fake

The gardener was delighted and went

among them the gardener. He was so
interested I'm the flowers that he spent
most OF his time in the palace grounds,
put although he saw the weeds black
and limp in the morning sunshine he
was In the palace some time before he
ever saw the gardener. with the little
box he wanted so badly for the box
was kept in the castle vault in a great
tron-bound chest and guarded night and
day, SO he knew he would never get
It unless he stole It from the gardener
while he was busy killing weeds.
Very early In the morning he saw the
old man come up to the castle door, and
to him the guards delivered the precious
box. Very hurriedly the sprite put on
his jacket and rushed out into the gar
den. The old man was very much star
tied when he saw Jack Frost, but thew
had become such good friends he never
thought the sprite could mean mischief.
Jack Frost pretended not to see the old

"Oh! / well know you have very won

man, very much worried to think his
garden was not perfect. why" said
the Sprite, come and look at this
bent over the lily the old man set down
the box containing the magic powder
''See," said Jack Frost, 1.-THE stem of our
lily Is a bit darker and the petals quite
round at the end. It is deep pink, and
very sweet" BY this time the gardener
was all interest, for he had never heard
OF such a flower What do you call
this curious blossom. and where can !
get one for the garden Of my King?'
Why" said the naughty sprite, as he
snatched the box OF powder and flew UP
out of reach, when my master receives
this box, he will send you all the lilies
you could wish"
The Storm King was so pleased with
Jack Frost that he made the Sprite a
scout in his army, and every fall and
even late in the winter he comes flying
over the world, scattering the magic
powder over tree and plants to tell OF
the coming Of the Storm King.
