The Good airy"
BY C. Abbey, for The Times.

A fairy flew down to the earth one
night, and said:"Now-
While I'm out of sight
I'll tighten the burdens that man has
borne;
III dry the tears of them that mourn
For I'll weave with my shuttle and
silver Skeiu,
\ panacea for earthly pain
Then she flew away to an humble,
home, where sick girl, pale and
wan,
Was laying on her mothers breast,
watching the coming dawn.
"Cheer up, my child, and try to live, |
beg you-only try
But the sick one turned her pallid face
and family said "good-bye'
Then the fairy wrought with magic
speed. In and out the shuttle flew,
Till soon from out her fingers swift a
"silVer strand she drew
And placed it on the golden hair, over
the sufferers brow.
She smiled and kissed the others
cheek: Mother, I'm better now"
II.
Then the fairy flew to the palace Of
Sin" TO the dazzing lights she en-
tered in.
She noated near to beautiful girl,
whose eyes with wine were bright,
And dropped a tear as she whispered;
Dear, where is your mother to-
night"
The silver strand fell over her face,
and she fell on her knees at the
"Throne Of Grace
"Oh, Mother" she cried, "Will YOU
take me back, the willful erring one?
Christ, Thou will cleanse my soul Of
blight, for Pm going home to Mother
tonight
A beautiful woman lay on a cot in a
hospital far away.
A man, in an agony, sat by her side;
he was old, and bent, and gray.
ooh, woe is me-" the aged one cried,
"That | should live and her husband
died"
The surgeon said; "She is close to
death; if | could rouse her, to give
her breath"
But the silent fairy, with shuttle in
hand, was rapidly weaving the sill
yer strand,
And cast it ore her who in deaths
sleep lay
Lo, the shadow lifted and passed away.
The beautiful woman opened her eyes.
Father, bring me my babe" she cries,
They laid the tiny one on her breasts
she smiled, aud gently sank to rest,
".
Then the fairy gathered her silver
Skein and wound her shuttle about,
She had led each one by that slender
thread, safe through the River
Doubt,
"What do YOU call this silver thread,
against which grief cannot cope?'
And the fairy voice came floating
back ""His called the strand Of
HOPE"

SINGLE
BLESSEDNESS
Should Bachelors BE Taxed?
6y
ELLEN ADAIR

From time immemorial the pros and
cons OF single bessedness have been dis
cussed and dlssected with an enthusiasm
which somehow always tends toward the
holding up OF the matrimonial moose as
the be-all and end-all OF existence. No
matter how many terse and wonderful
arguments are brought forth for the ad-
vocatins OF untrammeled bachelordom or
spinsterhood, the majority of people are
eil In favor OF wedding bells and the
altar, and hold up hands OF plying hor-
ror at the spectacle of any man or woman
being left to tread the pathway of life
alone and unhltched to some other human
being
Much controversy and contention circle
around the tlme-worn topic. SHOULD
bachelors be taNed?" and opinion, par
tends strongly toward the idea that they
should be taxed. The bill to this end re-
Gently introduced at Harrisburg has
caused quite a sensation, and If 1t really
does come into effect, the idea is that
the marriage license bureaus will be
crowded with would-be candidates for
matrimony and happiness.
"The bachelor life is necessarily self
fish one" so goes the trend of public
opinion. "Of all depressing spectacles un-
der the sun, that of the cross, cranky,
egotistical, finnicky old bachelor is the
worst! For he has no one to live for ex-
cept himself. The money which he earns,
and which in the ordinary course of
events should go into the building of
home, the support of a wife and the up
bringing of family, ne devotes entirely
to himself and his own caprices. Yes,
bachelors should be assuredly taxed For
their vulnerable point is the financial one.
When IT has been clearly brought home
TO them that they willNbe required to pay,
and pay pretty heavily. too, for the privi-
leges of an egotistical freedom, they will
be then willing to forego the aforesaid
joys of single olesse dness and run their
heads into the proverbial nooseH
While this is the view of large num-
ber of persons, there Is most decidedly
reverse side to the picture. For some
bachelors, instead of being taxed for
choosing to remain bachelors, should be
rewarded for abstalning from inhicting
themselves and their whims and absurdi-
ties on some unfortunate damsel. who
might be foolish enough to accept their
hands and hearts and pecularties and
trying dispositions at one and the same
time.

-CHILDREN'S CORNER
Queens Adventure

QUEEN was a beautiful big gray cat
Nk-qulte the handsomest gray cat you
ever saw Her hair was long and silky
and her eyes were big and dreamy. No
wonder she was named Queen, for like
grand, stately queen did she look.
Her little mistress, Mary, was so proud
of her proud of ner shapely body, of
her few silky white spots and of her
pretty pink nose. And she watched her
and cared for her just the best any cat
was ever cared for, you may be sure!
Now Mary had a brother named Ned
and he, too, had his favorite pet-a big
dog. Bob, a collie dog. Perhaps you think
that must have made danger and trouble
for Queen. But 1t didn't, for Bob seemed
to be quite as fond of Queen and quite
as proud of her as her own mistress pos
sibIy could be! He guarded her walks
and looked after her the very best he
could. And curiously enough. Queen
seemed to understand his devotion and
was always kind and gentle and good
with him.
They played together and walked to-
Eether and sat for long hours by the
same fireside always the best of friends
But that was in the winter.
When spring came, Queen seemed to
get very restless. She wasn't always her
queenly dignified self and Bob could
never account for the funny scrapes she
managed TO get herself into.
He scolded her roundly and tried to
make her more careful. you mustn't
crawl into the coal bin" he said, after
she had crawled out of there one spring
afternoon. cant you see how ugly 1t
makes you look?" Queen purred meekly
and graciously allowed herself to be
cleaned up. but she made no promises
Then another day he found her chasing
chickens. Here. Herer he barked
this won't do at all! You'll lose your
reputation in no time If you run after
chickens"
IT wasn't hurting them" she eX-
claimed gravely, II just wanted to do
something awful"
Bob shook his head and turned away.
''Well. then, do something safe, at
least" he said.
Queen left the chicken yard, for she
was ashamed OF her foolishness and
started down toward the brook, "If I
can't chase chickens. | can at least look
