and all the delicacies on that table Well, it would have made your mouth water"
 "What are delicacies, Daddy7" asked Nancy.
 'They are goodies to eat," said Dad dy, and then of course Nancy under stood. And they had the goodies that every Guest would enjoy most. Not a Guest was forgotten. There were even little Worms for the Birds-and the other Guests didn't mind at all, as they knew the Robins and Orioles and other Bird Guests loved little Worms. They were given to the Birds in spe- cial dishes made of grass.
 "But just as all the Guests sat down to supper the Fairy Queen said Come, all my Fine Waiters!' And as she said air.
 ''Then from far and near the black est of black Crows flew down and alighted all around the table. They had promised the Fairy Queen to be just as good as good could be, and to wait on all the Guests before they had anything at all to eat. They were quite willing to do this, for they had never been invited to Ball given by the Fairies before and they were high ly fiattered.
 ''They all had had their black suits polished and brushed with the great est care and they wore very fine aprons and hats made of green leaves. Every time Guest said Thank you when anything was passed, a Crow would say, 'Caw-Caw,' which means You're welcome
 "The Crows always say 'Caw-Caw' to almost everything, but it is just the tone they use that makes the 'Caw- Caw' mean something quite different each time they want it to. At the end of the supper, after the Crows had had feast, too, tfe Fairy Queen asked them if they wouldn't sing the old, old song about Blackbirds being baked in pie.
 "At first the Crows looked a bit sad, but then they said: Why, of course, we'll be happy to sing it. It's lots of fun to Sing about such things after we have had a feast and know quite well that the Fairy Queen wouldn't bake us in a pie
 "How the Guests did laugh ic hear the Crows singing about Blackbirds being baked in a pie-and stopping every minute to shout out Not us, though, ,oh, no oT-and the Fairy Queen was delighted" ss~

Old Wine in New Bottles.

What happens when the accepted tune of a national anthem is changed even with considerable care is revealed by this from Tom Daly's column in the Philadelphia Evening Ledger: "As the opener of the exercises at the con- ventiOn of the National Association of Credit Men in Pittsburgh the words of America were sung to the new music arranged for them. When the applause had dwindled away, the presi- dent arose and said: I feel that our convention is never properly begun un- less we sing the national anthem, so let us all arise now and sing "Amer- fca."'" Prolonged applause.)

diamond and grabbed the ball. Then he started racing with it toward the clubhouse in the hope of reaching Mer- kle and tipping" him to hurry back to the diamond and touch the second sack.
 But Frank Chance, the Cub man. ager, joined in the affair by overtaking McGinnity, whose progress was im- peded by the crowd. Chance jumped upon Joe's shoulders and threw him to the ground. Other Cub players rushed to Chances aid and tried to take the ball from McGinnity's hand. Joe, see ing that he was overpowered, threw the pellet as far as he could into the crowd.
 Kroh and Howard, two Cub recruits, dove among the feet of the spectators and jointly grabbed the ball, which was being kicked around. Howard threw the ball to Tinker, who tossed it to Johnny and the "Trojan," stepping on in the air, called upon the umpires to declare Merkle out.
 Giants Lose PIayoff.
 In the meantime Chance plowed through the now amazed crowd, grabbed Umpire Flank" O'Day and demanded that he decide that McCor- mick's run did not count, owing to the fact that Merkle had been forced out O'Day refused to give any decision un- til he was escorted to the clubhouse by squad of police.
 O'Day, immediately upon his arrival there, declared Merkle was forced out and called the game tie. Harry Pull liam, then president of the National league, sustained Hanks ruling and or dered the game played over.
 The day set for the playoff was the last of the season-October 8. It found the Giants and Cubs tied for first place honors, with 98 games won and 55 lost, giving each a percentage of $40. The Giants lost that battle to 2, and the game gave the pennant to the Chi cago Cubs-a gift by Fred Merkle.

Bows Become Scarce.

For the first time in more than 20 years the Children's Aid society af New York is unable to furnish enough boys to families who want either to adopt them or care for them until the boys become of age. The reason for this is the campaign for military pre- paredness and the great demand for workers in war munitfon factories.
 Almost every day letters come to the society headquarters asking for boys who have been trained at its farm school.
 Last month fl of the society's boys, sixteen to twenty-one years old, en- listed in the army and navy service for boys. The munition factories take a large number of the older boys.

CROWS AT THE BALL.

"The Fairies had one of their fine Balls the other evening-just two eve nings ago." said Daddy. You know they haven't had real Ball for long, long time, and they have been waiting for some time for this one.
 "You see there has been so much going on lately in Fairyland. There have been swimming Parties, Flower Hunting Parties, Games, Frolics, and in really long time.
 '@The Fairies said that as they hadn't had one in such long time they were going to have this Ball one of the finest ever given. So they went to the greatest trouble and care to make it big success. In the first place they had a great many Guests and they gave 1t in their biggest wood Ball Room.
 Among their Guests were the Brownies, Elves, Gnomes, many of the Birds, Butterflies, Running Birds, Red Lizards, Grasshoppers- and Crick-. cts. The Crickets had arranged to, sing for the dancing and the Humming Birds said they would hum the tunes all the time that the Crickets sang. The Robins sang some extra songs and, of course, the other Birds all joined in the chorus.
 Dancing and dancing-such dancing as you have never even dreamed of went on in Fairyland the evening of this big Ball. The Fairies said their Ball was being given in the evening, though it really was the latter part of the afternoon-but they had invited so many Guests who never sit up really late in the evening-and yet the Fairies knew their feelings would be hurt if they called their Ball an after noon dance.
 "The Butterflies did some special dancing for all the Fairies and their Guests, and the Running Birds and Honey Suckles played hide-and-go seek, for, of course, the Fairies had plenty of Honey Suckles and delicious Flowers around for the Running Birds. They love Flower honey even better than boys and girls love ice creaml
 And then came supper time. The table was made of Daisies and Moss,
