AS TOLD BY AUNT GERTIE.
ChaDfPr i

A whole group OF fairies and elves
and gnomes were sitting one day in a
deep grotto by the murmuring sea
telling tales about mortals.
My turn next" said a very small
fairy, with very large eyes and Ions
golden hair.
Il want TO tell you all a story about
peasant whom / once knew.
His name was John Wilde, and he
found wee, wee glass slipper which
belonged to one of our people.
1T is this story about the slipper
which l am going 10 recount TO you
today.
"Once upon a time man named
John Wilde was walking along the
road and his eyes fell upon a beauti-
full glass slipper. He hurried to pick
IL up; pushed il into his pocket and
walked on as fast as he couldi
Now John Wilde knew that some
OF the little people of fairlyland lived
right near his house in the trunk of
an old tree. He was sure, from the
tiny size Of the shoe he had found,
that II must belong to some one OF
these magic folk. So what did he do
but let them know that he had found
this glass slipper.
How do you think he told them?
He didn't write a letter nor send
a messenger. Instead he walked out
to Nine Hills where the tree stump
stands and shouted at the top of his
voice:
John Wilde has a beautiful glass
slipper. Who will buy il from him?
Who will buy it?'
You see he was pretty sure that
the little fairy who had lost the slip
per must go bare-footed until il was
returned. And he meant 10 make the
fairies pay dearly before they got it
into their possession again.
Johns call was soon answered.
THE wee fairy who had lost the
slipper commenced to plan a way Of
getting il back.
THE first day he had free from do
ing good deeds for good mortals he
changed into a merchant and started
out for Johns house in the village.

AN UNJUsTIFIABLE ACT.

In time of peace there is nothing in
military discipline to justify the act
of a sergeant OF the Indiana National
Guard. who shot private for at
tempting to escape from custody.
In time of war military rules must
be strictly construed. Every man not
cooperating may be regarded as an
enemy. The soldier who attempts to
escape from the guard house may be
shot down for the preservation Of
discipline in the face of the enemy.
In time of peace no such exlgency
exists.
One is in doubt which to sympathize
the most with, the man who was shot
or the man who did the shooting. The
latter acted purely on impulse. His
sober second thought would have
saved him from shooting. The pri-
vate had been arrested for smuggling
liquor into the camp at Fort Benja-
min Harrison. The attempted to es-
cape and was shot by the sergeant.
1t looked like cold-blooded murder,
but was more likely the result Of a
misconception of authority or a sud
den heat. In either case.it will be the
same TO the sergeant if he is capable
Of remorse. If there were no other
means Of inhicting it the offense car
ries the punishment in this instance.
But the sergeant should be legally
punished for his act. An example
should be made of him to emphasize
the fact that human life is not cheap
and that though permitted to carry a
gun a militiaman has no right to use
II except in obedience to the COM
mand Of his superior officer.
II is difficult 10 understand. though.
why this sergeant's gun was loaded
with ball cartridge The only oc-
casion for the use of ball cartridges
in the National Guard camp is when
soldiers are engaged in target prac-
tice. At all other times they are
dangerous and unnecessary.
The Investigation Of this case should
result in correcting some of the prac-
tices INDUCED in at the annual en-
campment.

PREJUDICE AGAINST WOMEN.

A combination OF unfortunate cir
cumstances has impelled Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young. superintendent OF the
schools of Chicago. 10 resign her po-
sition. The resignation has not been
accepted and may not be. but Mrs.
Young feels that under the circum-
stances IT is not wise for her TO con-
tinue.
The opposition to Mrs. Young comes
from a faction Of the board Of edu-
cation which does not favor a woman
in the position she occupies. and this
is the principal reason for the antag-
onism which has caused her to ask
for her release. Her work in the
schools speaks for itself. They are in
advance of most of the public schools
OF other cities.
Prejudice against woman is Of
course based on politics. Chicago
politics does not take kindly to wom-
en-. There are so many men wanting
jobs there are none TO spare for the
women. The superintendency of
schools is a fat. juicy plum. Natu-
rally the men want it for themselves.
What will the women of Chicago
do? 1t remains TO be seen what they
can do. They will do what they can,
surely. and Mayor Harrison says a
majority of the board of education is
in favor of retaining Mrs. Young.
She has been asked by Jane Ad-
dams and others to withdraw her res
ignation, and they have started an
agitation that will make Mrs. Young's
enemies think they have disturbed a
hornets nest, but II will be hard to
restore former conditions. though the
ultimate effort of the incident may be
beneficial. Mrs. Young would not
have taken the extreme step she has
if she had not felt it would be impos-
sible for her to continue.

When the late Mr.. Greeley of New
York commanded young men to go
west and grow up with the country he
forgot 10 hold out the promise that
some day they could all come back
and teach the east how TO grow.
Which was an oversight that can
hardly be pardoned, for there wasn't
any particular attraction in the west
for young men at that time, except
that the growing was exceptionally
good

ment that Howard Elliott, having.at-

handicaps Of being a New Yorker by
birth and a college man. he went to
work for the Chicago, Burlington, &
Quincy as a rodman. Then he be-
came a clerk here and a clerk there.
