Uncle Arthur was amazed, indeed, the other day, to hear his nephew. little Arthur. ask a maiden lady who was calling upon his Mamma, how old she was. Of course the lady was exceedingly embarrassed and, as mat ter of fact. little Arthur was hurried from the room before he could repeat the question.
 A while afterwards Uncle Arthur, likewise a visitor, discovered little Arthur out in the backyard and thought he saw an excellent oppor- tunity to teach him a lesson.
 You must never ask a lady her age, Arthur" he said in a kindly tone.
 ''Why?" asked Arthur.
 "Er-a-ra, because" answered Uncle Arthur. a trifle puzzled for an explanation that would be intelligible, "because-well, no real gentleman ever does you know. Besides, it's--''
 "Oh, I know!" interrupted little Arthur. Mamma told me yesterday! She said l mustn't ask you why your head is bald and that I wouldn't be

 With your smile to guide me- said Harry to the princess, T will give instant relief to all the sufferers; and moreover, you may see me ac- complish the feat" Now did all the courtiers stand aghast for very won derment, but Harry flashed his lit- tie acorn cup before them, and 10, as in a looking glass they saw the stricken city; but Harry had disap- peared on the magic staff. Far over the mountains the good staff bore him until he gained the city's gates. En- tering in he took the magic bone from his pocket, and striking 1t thrice with the staff there was spread such feast before the people that they fell down before him and hailed him as their deliverer All this time the image of the city had been shown through the magic glass to the prin- cess and her court She ceased to weep and clapping her hands de- clared she would marry no one but the brave youth with the tender heart who had gone to the rescue of the sorrowing people. Then she cried, Look, look, they have made him their king"
 And so 1t was, for the populace had brought out royal robes and put them upon the young man, and a golden crown upon his head, and he had promised them they would never know hunger again, for most of their troubles had been brought about--by their grasping and greedy king, whom they had dethroned.
 But while the princess still looked through the >magic glass the youth stood beside her in his royal robes. and> she descended the throne and put her hand in his. And so they were married amidst much rejoicing and a great feast was spread, for the magic bone wao busy with the mar riage supper and even the oldest man and the youngest child in the village were bidden to partake. Then the King and his wife, the Queen, were swiftly carried over the mountains to the city over which they were to reign. And they were joyfully re- ceived and soon learned that they owed their deliverance to the tender heart of the beautiful princess. After time the King sent the magic staff back over the hills to bring his moth CT to live in his kingdom. And she was made duchess, and wore a silk poWp
 And he reisned long and gloriously, and far and near he was known as Harry the Helpful. And, after all, 1t was the fairy queen that he had met in the woods who rewarded his kindness of heart with her magic giftA

Harry asked of villager. "You all seem very merry; is there a royal wedding or christening going on?''
 "Oh, no, my good lad" said the man, but our young princess has vowed that she will marry no com mon man. She wants too much for the days of miracles are passed; but feasting while many proud princes pass in review before our little lady. But, alas, she will have none of them. They come up this road and go down that road" continued the man, "and all that come in go sorrowfully out, for none have successfully carried out her wishes
 Just then Harry felt prod in his side and looking down saw his magic staff acting most queerly: it was danc- ing up and down and crying only for his ear

Here he was courteously received, as word had been left by the king to admit all corners. He awaited his turn and as the noble youth in front of him was turning sorrowfully away he looked into the bright eyes of the princess, but he saw that she was weeping bitterly.
 Ut is my wish" the princess was speaking, that he who would aspire to my hand must give instant relief to the starving people in a far and distant kingdom, for 1 cannot rejoice and be merry whilst they lack bread. There has been a drouth and famine is upon them. Can you, fair sir. give

How Granger Won

right to talk" Bob was surely right there. But how could he help?
 It was while thus pinching and playing with Dixie, who snapped and growled from time to time in antici- patton of a scuftie with his master. that Hal had an idea.
 Now let us turn to the day of the Granger-Coleman game. the day of days in the athletic calendar of each school, and see how Halls idea turned out.
 To pass by the preliminaries quick ly, imagine freshly marked football field lined with hundreds of cheering rooters (there were no grandstands) ---on the north a host Of high school boys and girls waving the blue and gold of Granger, confident of defeai but still loyal to their team; on tho south a smaller number of support CTS of Coleman's crimson and white sure of ample revenge for past de- feats. Then the whistle. the kickoff and the first scrimmage.
 To curtail long story. be 1t said that Granger. driven to the last ditch and inspired by the captains pleas to night hard" and hold that line"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-10-18

and were now approaching the pig game-the contest upon which all eyes were turned with forlorn hope. Coleman High School openly boasted that they would score at least six touchdowns on their weak rival.
 "Thats all right, Hal, but if you think Granger is licked already, you're mistaken. We have still got some fight left in us, and Coleman Is due for surprise"
 My I pity those Coleman boys" replied Hal, sarcastically.
 We aint scared of them anyhow" declared Bob, stoutly.
 Now if it was a pack of bulldogs you fellows were going to fight" leased Hal "instead of a football team, you would win in walk"
 Bob winced, but only replied
 "All I've got to say, Hal, Is that If all the Granger rooters were like you we would have hard time to win a game of dominoes from Cole man. If you and the rest of the knock CTS would do something to help beat Coleman. then you'd have right to talk" And as he started away he warned "As for that dog, keep him away or by cracky I'll poison him.
 An ominous growl from Dixie made the captain of the Granger football team hasten his steps. When Bob had disappeared, Hal chuckled softly to himself as he thought of Bob's bravery on the gridiron and his strange fright at a harmless, though spirited bull terrier It seems that l. 1.-1 It hxr a pup and had ever since been afraid of dogs in general And then Hal fell to thinking about what Bob said regarding the attitude of the rooters tc their dismal failure of football team. It was certainly true; the stu dents of Granger High School had turned fiatly against their team. Hal felt ashamed at his own taunts flung at his older friend. concerning the football team.
 Captain Bob Brett, 1t may be ex- plained here. was a senior in high school and the star halfback of his shot-to- pieces team. A daring open field runner, he had often made touchdowns single-handed but the team as a whole lacked the scoring and defensive power necessary to win games. He had been much discour- aged at the failure of his eleven, but was nevertheless firmly resolved to beat Coleman if 1t was at all possible.
 Hal, a freshman in high school was too light to make good water-poy, much less football player.
 What Bob had said rang in his cars as he sat beside the panting Dixie, twisting the nape of the brute's furry neck. If you and the rest of the knockers would do something to help beat Coleman, then you'd have

vent the animal from walking when they are outwardly extended, hence, to avoid tripping on them, he turns them under his feet and walks on his knuckles.
 It has always been considered strange that an animal as large as the ant-eater could subsist on a diet of little ants, but the forests wherein he lives swarm with these little in- sects, and their hills are very nu- merous. When the ant-eater knocks over a hill with his paw the panic stricken ants rush out to ascertain the cause of the wreck and soon find themselves hopelessly attached to the ant-eater's tongue. which is coated with a sticky substance and without which the animal would lack the means of transferring his favorite food from it's source to It's finish.
 The food supply of the ant-eater is inexhaustible as the survivors of the attacks he makes to- get meal begin at once to build another home and or ganize a new colony.

fairy gifts. But he had been warned by the old woman, who appeared to him once again. not to be too prodi- gal with his wishes, as a time might come when he would need the help of his magic friends, and he must not find them weary with too much serv- ing. She also warned him that should he lose his helpful nature and become proud and arrogant the magic gifts would disappear.
 One day Harry was sitting at the cottage door and dreaming dreams as youth will. His faithful staff was in his hand. How I wish that I might have a great adventure thought Harry.
 No sooner had the thought entered his head than he was borne, upward on the end of his staff. and set down in far kingdom, where all the peo- pie seemed to be having holiday.
 What is the matter, kind sir?'
