So get out of our town right away Fred and Ned"
Now the boys both but they said word
To this Sassafras Glass with his notions absurd.
Then the people right this pretty glass crowd
Began now to quarrel with voices real loud;
And half Of them said that the Sazsafras Tea
F1ad SPOKEN the truth just as nice as could De;
But the other half said that Young Neddy and Fred
We're very nice boys and they wanted them there,
And 10 send them away would be very unfair.
So these funny Glass People now got a fight
And they fought with each other which polite
But Of course you can see just plain can be
That by fighting each other these people did smash
AHo the pieces Of glass all around them did crasht
Fred and Ned stood side and they did get hit
But those men made Of glass fought like men in fit;
And the women and children. the cats and the dogs,
The horses and mules and the pigs and the hogs.
All Joined IN the fight side the other
TIL at last they had all Of them smashed another
And these creatures of glass all in pieces fell down
Till there wasn't a dog or man in the town.
But as soon as this happened the houses began
To fight with each other on just the same plan.
Though they didn't know why at each other they'd fly
And each house shouted oh you villain die!"
when was surely very bad thing then to say
For it always is wicked quarrel this way
But house made Of glass hasn't very much sense.
So they thought that this fighting pleasure immense.
Wei. of course when glass houses get into a fight
You can see they'll get broken which surely is right
And the fact is they all very smash
And they broke pieces looked Just like hash
oh m sorry said Fred that this place has smashed
down
For before they began. it was such nice town.
And I wanted 10 see all those houses of glass
And down all Of these streets 7 intended TO pass
But they all smashed and there's nothing here
found
Well you brother Fred said the younger boy Ned
1T isn't fault that these are all dead,
And it wasn't fault that those houses all fought
1heU blame for the they have BROUGHT"
Jumped up in the air, with quake and q bound;
And ii broke into pieces and then left and right
All these pieces Of ground started in to fight
But this ground was all glass it 10 smash
Broke itself into bits and fell back with crash!

pond, shifting the air heavy with the
unpleasant odor of the usurpers. Un-

searched. And his crest lay fiat now,

shifting look of his eyes Gray Wolf

was filled with a loneliness and q

frightened him. Once more the dog in

Gray Wolf he had possessed the world

ternoon he came upon a little pile of
crushed clam-5hells on the shore OF

again. 1t was where Gray Wolf had
made a last feast in the swamp be-

she had left behind was not strong

for the one creature that had brought
him out of chaos into light, who had
filled his world for him, and who, in
going from him, hal taken from this
world even the things that Gray Wolf
had lost in her blindness.

merly Held by Railroad Monopoly.

By United Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA rea
war between jitneys and a regular
railroad has developed down IN Porto
Rico. Up to two months ago the rail-
road had a monopoly of the passenger
business between Catano and Baya-
mon, which amounted to half a mil
lion persons year. Then the pesky
jitney made it's appearance. Now the
"flivvers" are carrying just half the
Il affic
Although the jitney fare was ten
cents, the same as the railroad, the
busses proved so popular with the
people that the railroad was forced
to reduce its fare. The trip soon be-
came a sporting proposition. the jit-
neys racing with the trains, and often
beating them to the finish.
Now it is announced the railroad
will be electrified and all the old
equipment replaced with modern cars
and appliances. These improvements
will cost many thousands Of dollars,
not counting what the rivlary already
has cost the road in traffic shrinkage.
