JOHNS DEDUCTION AT FAULT
Result of Bright Youths Reasoning
Brought CONSERVATION to His
Employer.

John was the new boy at the board
ing house. His mistress was scolding
him because he never surmounted an
obstacle.
john she said, when l sent you
for a two-pound loaf of cake and they
had none, why in the world did you
not bring two one-pound cakes? That
would be exactly the same thing"
John seemed to grasp the knowl-
edge. His mistress thought SO until
the next day.
She was going on 6 journey, and
being a large, stout woman, told John
to engage her two seats in the Bus.
When John returned she asked:
did you have any difficulty"
mo, madam" replied the hopeless
John, "but l could not get them both
together, so l got n on the inside

Then Fluffy and the little fairy held
a long conversation. After a while
FLUFFY started home. looking very hap
Ply, and with her nose weighing very
hard. That same night Fluffy's mis-
tress had a dream THAI is, she
thought h did. You see, not know
ing anything about the fairies, she did
not know hat 1t was all really, truly
SO. but imagined she was just dream
ing.
But, anyway. Fluffy's little fairy was
sitting at the foot of her bed talking
to her.
I've got something for you" said the
fairy.
What can 1t be?" asked the little
girl, very much surprised.
It's a bottle" answered the fairy.

out n make the wish, and it will
come true" Then the little fairy van
ished.
Sure enough. the next morning, Fluff
fy's mistress found a little bottle by
the side of her bed. She jumped up and
grabbed the bottle.
"Ohl send me a playmate, a real
nice playmate. who will always keep
mo company" That Is what Fluffy's
MISTRESS WlS1eu ana, as Sne ala SO, Sne
took the cork out of the bottle. She
started to spill just a little, but her
hand shook so from excitement that ev-
cry bit of that wishing water went On
the floor.
Now. 1t happened that Fluffy, who,
of course, knew all about it, was right
beside her mistress when she was
wishing. So, when she saw all the
water going on the floor she started
to run n as she went her left hind
foot went right into it. But her mis-
tress did not notice, for, suddenly. she
found a lee little girl, with golden
hair and blue eyes. in her room. 1t
was her wished for playmate, come to
keep her company as long as she
wanted.
AS soon as Fluffy realized what had
happened she ran down the hill again
to the fairy and told her all about it.
That will never do said the fairy,
for If anybody finds out you have
wishing water in your foot they might
kill you to get our left hin leg. But
| Will help you. I will make the left
hind legs of all rabbits lucky, and so
people won't hurt you. because you are
SO pretty"
The fairy did what she said, and to
this day some people believe that the
left hind foot of a rabbit is lucky.
