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 1t
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 81 attractive in the moon
light they could not resist the tempta-
ton to take a sail.

fast and then they ere 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 soon
aware that someone was in their do
main, and the first thing the fairies
knew the smooth surface of the water
became like little ave and the
leaves and their passengers tipped in
the most threatening manner.
"Oh, dear!" cried the fairies. sup.
pose we tip over" The water splashed

He's a Wiser Man Now.

There is no use in arguing with
your better half as to who is boss Of
the shack, especially If size happens
to be in the class. This didn't
occur to a New York married man
until after his spouse was through dis
ciplining him. And then he looked as
if he had tried to stop a train. He is
wearing enough gauze around his head
to make a summer frock for an ele-
plant, his windpipe is in splints and
his pretty blue eyes are closed and in
deep mourning. The doctors say he
will live for years, but that he will be
dizzy for about a week. WHEY allowed
that she did all this by tapping hubby
with a comb" The court, however,
inclined to the belief that the lady
combs her hair with a healthy anvil.

right to be. They we're SO intent upon

sailed into the ocean without knowing
1t.
What are you doing here without
my permission?" asked Neptune. The
nymphs hung their heads.
And who are these little crea-
tures?" he asked.

one. And then she told him how they
were sailing on the river and the
nymphs caught them.

another, and our wings and pretty

"Of course you can" said Neptune;
touch the shells and see what hap
pens"
Presto. there was an island with q
fairy standing on 1t.
Now reach out with your wands
and bring the islands together In q
large one. There you are on dry land"
said Neptune; now run about and dry
your wings and clothes" Neptune
next called the nymphs around him
and told them he would forgive them
for coming to the ocean without per-
mission IL they would forgive the
fairies and take them safely home.
The nymphs gladly agreed to this.
and soon they had large shells for the
fairies to sit in. 81 shall leave this
island said Neptune. I'VE will call
it fairy island. and when you see this
you will remember you are beyond
your rivers limit. And you and the
fairies must be good friends also"
They all promised to be or friendly
terms after this. and the fairies. whose
wings and dresses were dry and
looked dainty again, took their seats
in the shells. The nymphs drew them
along and by the time they reached
the woods where the fairies were to
get out they were good friends. And
now, on a moonlight night, you might
see at a certain hour the fairies enjoy
ing a sail with the nymphs beside
them.

CITY VERSUS COUNTRY BOYS
Prizes Of City Life Hold No Allure
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-
tons, 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 ex-
ceeding strife and s~elf.sacrifice.

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. arr:
/. To encourage and train boys
along tho lines Of the activities Of
country life.
Q. To put into practice the facts Of
scientific agriculture obtained from
books, bulletins, etc.
g.. 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-
ly and In the community.
8. To dignity and magnify the voca.
ton of the farmer by demonstrating
the returns which may be secured
from farming when 1t is properly con-
Quoted.
6. To enlarge the vision Of the boy
Mansfield mirror. (Mansfield, Wright County, Mo.) 1908-1957, 1916-01-27

and to give him definite purposes at
an important period in his life.
Z. To furnish to the aggressive. pro-
gressive rural schoolteacher an oppor.
tunity to vitalize the work of the
school by correlating the teaching Of
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 ag-
ricultural colleges; others will con-
tinue such efforts IN their farms. and
all Of them will make more useful and
more efficient citizens. From the pleas.
ant and profitable experience of own.
ing and managing their small plats,
they will develop into independent. in.
telligent farmers.
