Just Before It's Bedtime
THE BLACKSMITH AND THE GINx.

blacksmith in a Swiss village.

and the sparks few out Of his chimney
as he pulled on the long handle of his
bellows.
worked from dawn till sunset he could
not make enough to keep his children
comfortable. And there were fifteen of
them in the family. Then there was a
pet squirrel. too. but he managed to
feed himself.
One morning when there was nothing
in the cupboard. but bone and half a
loaf of bread, the blacksmith's wife
tcld him she would have to kill the
squirrel and make soup of him. as the
children had nothing for their dinner.
But the smith made her promise not
to touch the animal till the next day,
hoping some good luck might come his
way by then.
Now It happened that there lived in
the woods near the town a very bad
Ginx. who spent his life in stealing and
doing all kinds of mean tricks simply
one Of his favorite pranks was to take
the tools Of the poor smith. then the
man would have to buy more. In fact.
this was one of the reasons that the
family was so hard up and now on the
verge of starvation. But that was Just
what a mean thing like the Ginx want
ed. He was ugly and shriveled and
hated everyone and everyone hated him.
though they were awfully afraid to
even look at him If they met him on
the road a dark night-for that was the
only time he ever came out
Now the Ginx knew that the squirrel
was the only thing left at the smiths
home, so lie decided to steal that.
II will get that squirrel tonight" he
chucklcd as 1t grew late. He Is plump
and will make me fine broth for Sum
day"
So he stole out when the moon set
and crept to the smiths cottage. The
little squirrel was doing on a bush
near the door, and the Ginz grabbed
him by the legs and put his hands over
his mouth so he could not chatter and
let the family know what was happen
ing. The animal thought he was being
taken by the wife TO make soup, for ne
had understood just what was said
about him. So, Of course, he was very
worrying and wishing he could do some
thing to improve matters. But when
he felt the Ginx thrust him into a bag

and set out at a run he knew just what
had taken place.
When the Ginx got to his cave far
back in a dark cliff he took the squirrel
out Of the bag and put him in a cage,
then placed the pot on the fire to get
the water hot The squirrel was scared.
but he could see plainly all about, and
noticed that the cavern was lighted by
big diamond which hung by a string
just In front Of his cage. He beat at
the door, and as the cage was an old
rel was free. Now it happened that
when he crept out the Ginx was busy
on his knees blowing the fire. so the
squirrel seized the big diamond in his
teeth and sprang to the entrance to
the cavern.
Up jumped the Ginx and dashed after
the squirrel. but that little fellow ran
for his life and held on like grim death
to the diamond. Like the wind he
jumped from rock to rock and just as
they got to the top of the cliff the
squirrel turned aside and ran down the
bank. but the Ginx could not stop.
Whisk-out he went into the air plump
he fell on the stones below.
But the little squirrel did not stay.
On he sped till he sprang into the win
dow and laid the diamond on the table
before the smith. How 1t sparkled and
lighted up the whole room and the chill
dren laughed with delight. But the
smith ran with it to a jeweler and sold
1t for a thousand gold pieces.
So ever after that the family lived in
a nice home and had everything they
wanted and the very softest bed was
for the squirrel. AS the Ginx was dead.
the smith had no one to worry him. so
he prospered and soon became a man Of
means loved by all for his kindness.

FRENCHMAN SAYS THE
APPENDIX is VALUABLE

PARIS, Dec. 24.-That the appendix
is much abused organ and of the
utmost Importance to man, was the
gist of paper read here today be-
fore the academy of Sciences. The
paper was submitted to the academy
by Edmund Perrier, the thesis was the
result of experiments conducted by
DR.. R. Robinson, of the museum of
natural history.
DR.. Robinson maintained that the
appendix cannot be removed without
injury to the system because it dis
charges under normal conditions a
liquid called hormene which aids in
the work of the intestines. Hormene
is a name given to any substance
derived from an organ of the body and
able to stimulate function of the
body. The removal of healthy ep-
pendix, DR.. Robinson concluded is a
great mistake.
