FAIRY STORIES TRUE.
THEIR ORIGIN HAS BEEN TRACED
BY MODERN THINKERS.
Science Seems to Have at Last JustI-
fled Itself by Discovering What
All Little Children Knew
Long Ago.

Science has come to the rescue of
the fairy story. The little folk
which common sense has long since
relegated to nursery tales, have been
released by certain modern thinkers,
busted of and placed on earth again
though many hundred years back.
In the folk tales the fairies, are al
ways represented as living in green
mounds. They pop up their heads
when disturbed by persons treading on
their houses. They live on familiar
terms with the people about them
when they treat them we'll and pun
ish them when they treat them ILL.,
Alliances are formed between fairies
and men and the fairies even hire
themselves out as servants to the
men
The fairies are remembered as a
small race, the men about four feet
tall and the women mach shorter.
Both men and women commonly dress
in green, although the men in some
places are now and then referred to
as little red men" on account of the
cone-shaped red hats they wear
So much for tradition. Now for
science
Modern archaeology, declares Doc
tor Thorstenburg, has established be-
yond all reasonable doubt the prehis-
toric existence in Europe of one or
two non-Aryan races Of pygmies, very
dark, very short, some with long skulls
surviving in the Welsh, some with
round skulls surviving in the Lapps.
Years ago j. F. Campbell, the Brit
ish anthropologist, who has put him
self to considerable pains over the
fairy problems, made q sojourn among
the Laps and found remarkably close
agreement between them and the de-
scription of the fairies given by the
Scotch Highlanders.
The missionaries who were sent to
preach the Gospel among the Lapps
during the seventeenth and eight
zenith centuries all connected the
"slede" Cor "shee") with certain wor-
ship practiced by the Laps at that
time.
Since ages past the Laps, as Mr..
Campbell learned, believed in some
mountains or hills which they called
"salvo" there dwelt a race of men
much like their own, carrying on the
same occupations and owning the
same kind of animals as theirs, but
differing from them otherwise in hav-
ing reached higher state of perfec-
ton. The "salvo" race were thought
to be a people of great wealth and
splendor, well versed in witchcraft
and in the use Of magic drums. while
in comparison the Laps considered
themselves to be but poor, miserable
creatures constantly in need of the
protection, instruction and aid of the
others.
Hence, probably the Nibelungs or
dwarfs or elves or gnomes or other
underground pygmies of fairy folklore.

Love One Another.

There is beautiful legend Of st. John
the beloved, which relates that when
he was a feeble old man, too weak to
walk to the assemblies of the church,
he was borne there by his disciples;
and addressing the people as he spread
abroad his hands, repeated again and
again these words: Love one an
other"
When asked why he said ever the
same thing, he replied Because there
is nothing else; attain that and you
have enough
Yes, love is enough. 1t is measure
less. 1t is creative of all things high
and holy.

OHIO MINES CLOSE IN APRIL
$4,000 Out Of Work Until Wage Con-
tract Is Made-New State Law
Held Unjust.

Cleveland, O., March 31-All coal
mines in Ohio will shut down in April
and will remain closed until a wage
contract can be made with the miners
and the mine run payment basis re-
moved, c. E. Maurer, president of the
Ohio coal operators, announced here
on Saturday. approximately $4,000
men will be affected by the shutdown,
which, President Maurer says, is a
matter of self-protection for the OPP
orators in view of the contract made
between mine workers and mine own
ers in the competitive states, Penn
sylvania and Indiana. at Chicago re-
Gently. He says that the passage of a
law by the last Ohio legislature call
ing for the payment of miners on the
mine run basis places Ohio operators
at a competitive disadvantage with OPP
orators in the states where the lump
payment continues.

Commissioner Ekern in Warning.

Commissioner of Insurance Ekern
has issued a warning which probably
affects public officers in many other
aspects than merely applied to insur-
ance. He said:
There seems to be a general mis-
understanding of the law which pro-
hibits members of city councils, viii
lage, town and school boards, and
district attorneys from being inter
ested in public contracts This is in
Dictated by the number of such cases
found where insurance policies are
written by agents who are such Off
GERS 1t is becoming apparent through
the inquiries resulting from the &C
tivity of cities. villages and school dis
tricts In taking advantage of the new
law permitting the insurance of public
buildings in the state fund at so per
cent of the company rates. 1t is only
natural that officers who are also get
ting commissions on the insurance as
agents should oppose insurance with
the state. even IL IL saves the city, vii
lage or district 40 per cent on their
premiums, but undoubtedly the viola
tors are often uniformed as to the
provisions of the law and the offense
will not be repeated after the law has
become known.
The statute. which has been re
peatedly amended and is now section
4o49 OF the Wisconsin statutes, pro-
hibits any officer of any county, town,

contract of such city. etc. and pro

To Give Brand to Cheese.

The state Of Wisconsin Is going to
authorize state brand which can be
placed upon Wisconsin cheese and but
ter. and thus raise it in standard with
a consequent higher standard to the
farmer.
This was the decision of the state
board of public affairs at its meeting
in Madison.
Applicants for the Wisconsin state
brand will be subjected to the most
rigid inspection by deputies from the
dairy and food department. Their
products must be up to high stand
ard and their factories must be in
spotless condition. Then they will be
granted the use of the state brand.
They will be forced to file bond with
the state and this will be forfeited if
they allow the standard of their goods
to drop
1t is believed in this way that the
standard of Wisconsin cheese and but
ter will be made so high that the mar
keting will be taken out of the hands
of the Chicago packing interests and
made more direct matter between
the producer and the consumer The
Wisconsin brand will also raise the
price which will be charged for this
unusually good product, with the GER
tification of the state behind it.
The resolutions adopted by the board
authorize the use of this plan.
