FAIRIES N NYMPHs.

One night in the fall of the year,
when the leaves were falling in show
ers from the trees, the fairies wan
dered down by the river.
The queen had always told them to
keep away from the water, whether it
was a river. an ocean or lake. for the
water nymphs hold. full sway there
and they should not intrude.
But the little fairies saw the big
leaves floating over the surface, and
they looked so attractive in the moon
light they could not resist the tempta-
ton to take a sail.
II do not believe the nymphs could
catch U.S." said one, I'VE can sail so
fast and then they gre asleep at this
hour" And soon they were gliding
along like SO many flowers; their little
wings were like tiny sails and made
them go very fast.
But the water nymphs were oon
aware that someone vas in their do

knew the smooth surface of the water
became like little waves and the
leaves and their passengers tipped in
the most threatening manner

He's a Wiser Man Now.

There is no use in arguing with

water over the poor little fairies, who
begged them to stop.

I'VE will give them a sail in our

the surface came hundreds Of shells

The nymphs made the fairies get in
to the shells, and such wet looking
fairies as they we're. Their wings hung
limp upon their backs and thetr pretty
dresses were spoiled, but they meekly

The principal objects to be attained
through the promotion of boys agri-
cultural clubs in the South, as defined
by those in charge Of this work. ara:
l. To encourage and train boys
along the lines of the activities of
country life.
2. To put into practice the facts Of
scientific agriculture obtained from
books, bulletins, etc.
8. To bring the school life Of the
boy into closer relationship to his
home life.
4. To assist in the development Of
the spirit Of cooperation in the fami.

Z. To furnish to the aggressive, pro-
gressive rural schoolteacher an oppor.
tunity to vitalize the work of the

agriculture with actual practice.
The aim Of the boys club work Is
the same as that among men-viz. to
secure the adoption of better methods
Of farming and greater yields at less
cost. Many Of the boys in the clubs
who begin to study agriculture In this
way will continue the study in the az.

CITY VERSUS COUNTRY BOYS

ments for Metropolitan Lad
Not Worth Striving For.

Speaking of the curious fact that
city boys seem to have greater phys
ical stamina than country boys. there
is also the Civil war tradition that it
was the city boys who stood priva-
tions, long marches and other physical
strains better than the country boys.
What makes the country boy out
strip his city competitor must be his
ambition to win the prizes of city
life which dangle so alluringly before
his eyes, whereas to the familiar vi
sion of the city boy they appear as
mere matters of course. hardly worth
having and certainly not worth e
ceeding strife and se~lf-sacrifce.
