heard Evelyn and Jack come in.
"Oh, dear; aren't you lonesome here in the dark, daddy" the chill
drn asked.
Not a bit of It," daddy answered. IT was taking a nap In my chair. and
when we are lonesome we call little Fairy Tame in to keep us company"
"Who is little Fairy Flame, and where does she stayT' Jack and Evelyn
wanted to know.
"she stays right round here" daddy answered. "T could call her in a
minute If I choose"
Then call her." the children demanded eagerly.
Daddy rose, picked a match of the mantle, struck it gently o n the soeo Of
his shoe and touched it to the lamp.
There she is" he said, smiling and standing back to see how Jack ana
Evelyn took it.
"But .that-hats only the light" the children urged.
ITO be sure it is, and don't you lei little Fairy Flame dancing there in the
lamp? She comes always at the call of the match.
when we wish to send her away all we have to do is to turn down the
lamp, and she goes skipping off again. "@.#

her she sometimes takes naughty revenge.
Fairy Flame sits in the fireplace and sends out her cheerful light and the
nice heat that drives away Jack Frost When bedtime comes and the fire is
covered to last for the night, Fairy Flame gently dozes, ready to spring up
when the fire Is stirred, as it sometimes is in the middle of the night when
her little friends m i'll. "
Fairy Flame dances inside the range in the kitchen in the morning so that
food may be cooked for breakfast Dinah has a lot of paper and sticks laid in
the range to coax Fairy Flame to hurry up.
when daddy goes to his office in the city, Fairy Flame, very busy in the
big engine Of the train, sends the train dashing along at so many miles an
hour In the evening it is kind Fairy Flame that brings daddy home again.
"In the big city, where daddy goes, Fairy Flame and her sister are also
at work. In hundreds Of workshops, where other little girls daddys are busy
earning a living, Fairy Flame is trying hard to help them.
Fairy Flame does not like little children to play with her. She is so
strong that unless one is old and wise enough to know how to treat her she
may do us a great deal Of harm"

Machinery an Art Form.

Gerald Stanley Lee in Atlantic
Monthly: Machinery is u new art
form. A man expresses himself first
in his hands and feet, then in his
clothes, and then in his rooms or in
his house, and then on the ground
about him; the very hills grow like
him, and the ground in the fields be-
comes his countenanCe, and now, last
and furtherst of all, requiring the live
Iiest and noblest grasp Of his soul, the
finest circulation of will, of all, he be-
gins expressing himself in the vast
machines in his 5000 mile railways,
his cast, cold looking looms and dull
steel hammers. With telescopes for
Mars-eyes for his spirit, he walks up
the skies; he expresses his soul in
deep and dark mines, and in mighty
foundries melting and remolding the
world. He is making these things
intimate, sensitive and colossal eX-
pressions of his soul. They have be-
come the s~ubconsciOus body, the
abyssma1, semi-indefinite body of the
man, sacred as the body of man is
sacred, and as full of light or dark
ness.
So 1 have seen the machines go
swinging through the world. Like
arch-angels, like demons, they mount
up our desires on the mountains. We
do as we will with them. We build
Winchester cathedral all over again.
on water. We dive down with our
steel wheels and nose for knowledge,
like a great fish along the bottom of
the sea. We beat up our wills through
the air. We fling up, with out religion,
with our faith, u bodies on the
clouds. We fly r~everently and strange
ly, u hearts all still and happy in
the fact of God!

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

The governor late yesterday signed
the amendments to the commission
form Of government law, which gives
Fargo the right to vote on this propo-
uition this spring. Petitions were at
once put out and r being freely sign
cd. asking the council to set an early
Gate for the election.
The Forum believes hat the council
win make q wise move if they set this
date az early as It Is possible to do so
aid COMPLY with the law. There is
little doubt but that the people of
Fargo want the commission form Of
government and there Is no reason
why there should be any delay in al
lowing them to vote on the question.
1t is hoped to have the special cleo
ton come early enough so that, If the
proposition carries, there will be no
need Of going to the expense of the
regular spring election.

SOME OF sAWDUsT's USES.

New York American: There was-a
time when sawdust was the stuff that
hoated downstream from sawmills."
Later 1t was used as h internal econ
omy of dolls and filing for icehouses,
but today it can be truly said hat saw
dust Is used to eat, drink and to live in.
1t is true that we do not eat sawdust
ourselves to any great extent, but 1t
Is successfully used for cattle. There
is the old story Of the man who put
green glasses on his COW to get her to
eat sawdust, thinking it was grass
and Just as he got her used TO 1t she
died. But that story lacks its point
now, as a wood meal" is made for cat-
tie, which has proved of great value.
CT course the cattle that eat this do
not subsist on 1t, as this is not strictly
speaking, a food; but this is mixed with
rock salt and the combination acts as
q splendid appetizer or digestive for the
cattle; so it can truly be said hat saw
dust Is eaten. AS for drinking, no
doubt a great many people drink"
sawdust, although few of them are
aware Of it. The alcohol that is made
from sawdust is not good to drink I'M
less one has suicidal intentions, bat it
Is used in the distillation of q brandy.
Chemists have been able to distill from
sawdust. with the aid Of other chem
icals, q very passable brandy that Is
free from the taste of ~turpentine. .
AS to living in sawdust, a great many
houses are partially constructed Of
sawdust, and some of them are nearly
so, as in the instance of a form of brick
which is made from this valuable by
produce. Mortar containing a large
quantity of sawdust, and a sort of
stucco. is now being made entirely of
sawdust, Sawdust is also pressed into
various forms and objects and finished
in good imitation of oak, rosewood,
mahogany and other high priced
woods.
We also walk on sawdust. inasmuch
as a very fair grade of linoleum is
made from this, instead of the more ex-
penstye cork dust.
The other uses of sawdust are almost
innumerable. Everyone knows OF the
white powder which is practically
smokeless and far more powerful than
the old-fashioned saltpeter gunpowder.
