THE DWARF OF THE WOODS.


Once upon time a poor cobbler
lived in a small hut. with his wife and
daughter. This girl, whose name was
Olga, was very beautiful and as good
as she was handsome.
Now in fine house near the cob
bler's home was great lady who also
had an only daughter, but this girl
whose name was Etan, was a child OF
very cruel and jealous nature. When
she drove out in her grand coach pass.
| ing the humble hut she saw with envy
the beautiful Olga milking and sweep
ing and was angry that her own face
was not so lovely. So the wicked girl
decided to do something which would
ruin the cobblers family.
Now, upon hill above the village
there was big pond whose waters
were kept in place by heavy stone
walls, and in these stones lived a
queer little company of dwarfs. Every
one was afraid OF them except Olga,
for she often left a bit of cake Or an
apple on the stones near their cave,
and in this way got acquainted with
their chief
One evening Etan and her mother
went walking and stopped to rest
right by the dwarf's cave.
Il know what can do mother, to
set rid Of Olga and her father" said
Etan. This pond is huge and holds
thousands Of gallons of water. | will
get the dwarfs to pull down the rocks
some dark night and let the water
flood the valley-this will sweep away
the cobbler's hut and we shall never
again hear of the family
THAT is an excellent plan," replied
the wicked mother. Il will see the
chief Of the dwarfs about it at once"
She looked around and there in a rock
sat the dwarf chief tapping his wood
en- shoes against the stones and sing
ing softly to himself.

my land for many years." said the
mother to him. Now l wish you to do
me favor. Tonight at the rising of
the moon l wish to get all your men
together and tear down the wall
around the pond on the northern side.'
But, surely exclaimed the little
man in horror, "you do not wish to

jealous Etan. "She is a mean crea.

her. You are living on our land and
must obey us-or you will suffer your.

Without a word the dwarf Ieaped
from the stone and disappeared with
in his cave.
He will not dare disobey me-"
laughed the wicked woman, as she
went back to her grand home.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Ten wealthy wom-
en- have opened their homes to the
women of the streets No experiment
in charity is to be conducted, but the
welcome will be a cordial greeting of
the woman who lives right to the wo-
man who lives wrong. Mrs. Clarence
Sunny, president of the Protestant
Women's National Association suggest
ed the plan, and declared her belief
that the old idea that once a girl is
tainted" she is forever damned is ut
ter nonsense. The Chicago women
who have taken this unusual step are
among the most prominent in the city.
Their practical attempt to give the
women of the underworld a chance at
the better side of life is prompted by
the theory that all that fallen women
need are homes.
