Usually, of course, fairies sleep In
the night time, tucked up tight in the
flowers. But these fairies wanted to
stay up and watch the moonlight and
count the stars and really see what q
night was like.
So they planned to have a party.

than that"
Lets go by the lake and hold our
party on the sandy beach," said an
other fairy, that is dry and clean"
"Yes, the beach is dry and clcan,s
answered the queen, 'rbut 1t will never

tall and we might get lost"
The fairies sat very still trying to
think of place that would do.
ooh, / know" exclaimed the queen
happily. II know the very best place
for fairy party; let's have it up in a
tree"
That seemed the very best possible
place, so every one set to work making
plans.
Lets choose this big sycamore tree. !"
said the queen. at is SO big and the
broad leaves will shelter US from the
dew"
So the fairies climbed up into the big
sycamore tree beside the brook and dec
GRATED it gayly for their party.
They danced down the smooth
branches, they frolicked on the wide
green leaves. So gay and happy WERE
they that some moonbeams fickered
down from above and stayed to watch
the fun.

These cupboards are to be of
various shapes and sizes; they are to
be duly labeled and are to contain all
the odds and ends of existence which,
in the ordinary house, find their way
to more or less inappropriate corners.
Now, from the efficiency point of
view. such an arrangement is surely
ideal. And yet-well, could anything

Cheaper Clothes.

Those critics of the present tariff
who have been so much distressed
over its supposed failure to do any
thing to reduce the cost of living
might, to their profit, consider the
question of wooden clothes. 1t was
these that, according to the protection
lists theory, we're to be least affected.
We were told, as the New York Eve
ming Post reminds US, that the cost of
the cloth is such an inappreciable part
of the cost of the suit, that the saving
on account of the lower tariff was
hardly worth considering The Post
reprints the following advertisement
of IAN eminently respectable firm OF
merchants"
Customers will find saving any
where from two to Ave dollars on
practically all our suits and over
coats of imported woolens. This
roughly is the difference the tariff
made-labor cost is. of course, I'M

A Century AGO,

One hundred years ago DR.. Thomas
Fanshawe Middleton was consecrated
first bishop of Calcutta. The conse-
Grafton took place in London, and soon
afterward the new bishop sailed for
India. In Calcutta, he laid the foun.
dalton for the Bishops college in 1920
and established a consistory court in
that city. While zealously engaged in
his duties he was attacked with a
fever, of which he died in 1922. For
more than a century the efforts to
spread the Christian faith in India
have continued. Numerically the
Christian population in the great east
ern empire is still insignificant
amounting to only about one per cent
of the population, but 1t is generally
admitted to have an influence out OF
all proportion to its numbers.

Mr., Knocks Error.

Ex-Secretary Knox argues at length
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty does
not forbid the exemption of part or
whole of our vessels from the tolls
at the canal. We think he is decidedly
mistaken. The history of the subject
shows that the equal right of Great
Britain in commerce across the 18TH
mus had been recognized in the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. The later instru.
ment released US from all the restric-
tons of that treaty except that our
vessels passing through the canal
should pay the same tolls as those OF
other nations.
But we regard this as minor part
of the case. We have erected at Pan.
anna costly work of which the whole
revenue will fSr many years be in
adequate to pay expenses. To sub
tract from its revenues a large sum
each year, to give to an element OF
our shipping that is absolutely freed
from foreign competition is an act that
is difficult to describe in courteous
terms. The United States should not
do such a thing If 1t were expressly
authorized by the treaty.-Pittsburgh

GET AFTER SUMMER PESTS
This Is the Time to Wage War Against
the Deadly Fly and the An
noying Mosquito.

Let us bear in mind that one Of
the prime objects Of spring cleanup
is to eliminate the fly and the mos
quito. When we are exercising our
muscles and our ingenuity Kidding
our dwellings and neighborhoods OF
dust and filth, it will be worth our
while to give these twin winged pests
serious attention.
The first spring fly, or course, came
some time ago, though she is still
pleasantly modest and retiring. 1t is
not reassuring, however, to reflect
that the little insect is keeping care
fully out of our sight and the reach
of our swatters while she lays a few
myriads of eggs, which presently will
hatch out into whole flying regiment
of nuisances and disease-carriers.
The shy and unobtrusive mosquito
is making the best use Of her time
for the same purpose. When the open
season on human beings arrives she
hopes to have whole army corps OF
her progeny to lead to the attack.
Now is the time to get busy II we
want to preserve ourselves from the
pests few months hence. The swat
ter and the kerosene can are fully as
important household implements at
this season as the broom and the
scrubbing brush.

The figures support the facts, but
not to the degree that one might ex-

and Kentucky having been admitted
to the union, II was voted that new
stripe and a new star for each should

to continue this process of addition
as new states came in.
In 1918, however, Tennessee, Ohio,

having Joined the union, with Illinois,
Alabama, and Missouri knocking at
the door, It was decided to alter the
arrangement. In that year 1t was
