Queen Tina and her sister Rina were
twins. And this was a very strange
thing, for it was seldom that twins
were born In f~airyland. But Tina was
made queen. and as she always wore
her golden crown on her head except
when sleeping, it was easy to tell the
sisters apart. Besides, Tina's face
was rosy and kind. while Rina, who
was always mao because she was not
queen, was yellow and cross.
OF course, Queen Tina knew more

but there was n curious thing-she
could not do any magic at all if her
eyes We're closed. She never knew that
Rina was angry about wanting to be
queen, for the bad sister kept a smiling
face when talking to Tina, and pre-
tended to be very devoted to the queen.
Every morning Rina would have to

the jeweled throne, and every day she

struck the ponies with a whip and they

prejudice OF voters who may not
agree with the views on public ques-
lions held by Governor Hatfield.
The canard has been started by
the Robinson opposition that in case
Judge Robinson is elected governor,
Senator Nathan Golf will resign from
the United States Senate and that
Robinson will appoint Governor Hat
field to the vacancy. An investiga-
tion proves that the last legislature
failed to pass law providing for
filling vacancies. and in case va
cancy should occur the governor
could not fill 1t by appointment but
the vacancy would continue until an
election could be held.
This story, which Is being circu-
lated among those who might have
any petty grievance against Govern
or Hatfield, is intended to prejudice
voters against Judge Robinson, and
as Is the case with the whole cam

1t Is based on prejudice and founded
