able to get the various candidates for
speaker on the democratic side to en-
ter conference, the party chiefs this
morning gave up the effort to reach
compromise, and the house met with
a solution of the deadlock no nearer
than when 1t adjourned last week.
The first ballot of the morning, the
twenty showed only one ma
terial change. Part OF the Sullivan
followers, left j. J. Mclaughlin to
vote for Karch. McLaughlin's vote
dropped to IS and Karch's vote was
raised to 90. The ballot was as fol
lows:
Tice, Al; Rapp, 8; Mclaughlin 49,;
Ryan, 81 Hubbard, Is; March, %; Car

Whether or not efforts will be made
this afternoon to hold conference de-
ponds largely upon the decision OF Nc
Laughin and Hubbard. Both Of these
candidates refused to Join confer
ence last night. The conference was
called in the interest of compro-
mise candidate who would be salts
factory to Judge Dunno. Mclaughlin
remained out of the conference be
cause he said it was not called witt
4 the proper authority.
Great bitterness is manifested be
tween Mclaughlin and some OF hi

Hodges of the Cambridge Theological

day may never accomplish as much for
you as some other girls kindred fairy
accomplishes. but it is not the result, 1t
is the effort. that counts. He may not
bring to you ease and wealth and So
cia! position, but there are other things
that mean so much more.
The fairy who stays at home, turning
from task to task all the day through,
may not remind you tonight of any
fairy you ever saw in the books.
But that is not her fault; the fault is
due to your vision which has never
grown up.
When you were little. your eyes de-
manded the white robe. the wings, the
starry crown, as proof Now that your
eyes are older they show little wisdom
If they do not look deeper and see that
the real fairies do not go about clad in
fairy garments.
For your real fairies are your mother
and father. And from the time you
came into this world till they leave you,
they wave for you the wand of Per-
sonal Sacrifice.

TIME CIR! who, permitted by the dear
ld-fashioned kind of mother and
father to pass through Dream
Land While growing up. has had her
heart thrilled with stories of fairies that
come out of the hearts of flowers at
moonlight and dance on the lawn. She
has listened opea-eyed to the marvellous
good deeds of the Brownies, and knows
that boy and girl giants are lonesome
because the Brownies, fairies, elves and
gnomes run and hide at their approach.
She has had such faith in these little
dreams of youth that when she grew
up her childhood definition of a fairy
never changed-some one pretty, and
all in white, with starry eyes and a
starry crown, and carrying a wand and
with wings
A pretty vision, but such an injustice
to girls real fairies! They are not
always pretty; usually not and one
comes home tired at night and is some
times cross and detected, and the other
works hard at home all day, and her
tasks are not accomplished by waving a
wand. Sometimes she wears faded
clothes, and usually they are old, and
her eyes are sweet and loving, but too
tired to be compared with stars unless
one compare them with the stars that
have shone brightly all the weary night
through and are growing Gin with the
morning.
Neither has she starry crown on
her head. Not yet!
But all through the day these two
fairies work to bring happiness to you,
little girl, in the evening when you
have gone away with gay crowd. and
sometimes away into the night when
you are asleep they plan ways to bring
greater happiness to you. One of the
fairies will wear his overcoat-ah, there
you have guessed Father, of course!
another winter that you may have
the party dress you have set your heart
on. and the other fairy, your mother,
will make a sacrifice Of a needed hat or
furs.
They wave a wand, Little Girl, and II
is the wand of personal sacrifice! They
are not as pretty as the fairies of your
childhood dreams, but they are infinite
ly moro real, truer and better.
They are growing old in your serv-
ice, but are never tired so long as you
give them just q little love and appre
citation.
