LEROY MORING,
TIE FAIRY AND THE HEMLoCI<
TREE.

long time ago in 4 pretty wood
~ " brook stood hcmlock tree. I'm
der tho hcmlock was a fairy castle
where all the fairies lived and kept
their jewels. Under a stump Of an
old birch tree not far off lived an old
goblin. The goblin did not like the
fairy because she lived in n prctticr
place than he did
Ono day tho goblin came over to
the pretty hcmlock with tiny saw
and Az In a tiny bag
You are of no use and YOU arc of
no good in this world. will cut you
down said the old goblin.
"Oh. yes. am of some good" an
swered the poor tree. Under my roots
is dear little fairy castle. I shelter
that. Tho children love to play under
my branches. and in autumn they love
TO drew pictures OF my leaves and tell
stories about me. The brook whispers
to me every day. ] shelter the birds
in my branches. Please don't cut me
down.
Yes, l am going to cut YOU down."
said the goblin in a harsh tone, as he
reached into his bag after mis- saw.
When he got his saw out "A fairy stood
before him and said, What are you
going to do with this tree?"
81 don't think that is nny OF your
business" answered the goblin.
We'll, 4 know what you will do with
it-you will leave II alone"
The goblin paid no attention to the
fairy, and was determined to saw the
tree down. lie put his saw to the tree
but no sooner had he done it. when
the fairy touched him on each arm,
with her magic wand and each fell
to the ground
The goblin ran away. and tho fair,
took his arms and his saw and put
them in the tool bag and threw then,
on the other side OF the world The
next day the goblin came back and
sat in the lowest branch OF the beau
tiful hcmlock tree and waited for the
fairy TO appear When the fairy came
he jumped down.
and why did YOU come hack"
asked the fairy. recognizing the goblin.
.Oh, please give me back my arms
begged the goblin.
"All right. But remember. ii you
trouble this beautiful hcmlock, you
shall lose your head"
The old goblin promised the fairy
that he would not trouble the tree
again. The fairy waved her wand
seven times and the goblin's arms re-
turned.
In the autumn the hemlock and all
the other trees in the wood were
dressed In gold. red, brown and orange.
but the hcmlock by the brook was the
prettiest OF them all. The brook
danced by il merry and laugh tng. the
birds sang In its branches. the chill
dren played around it happy as they
could be, and tho fairies danced around
1t under the full moon, and the tree
was as happy as could be.

BEEF LUNGS LEAK
Topeka Jews Have Trouble in
New Years Butchering.
Hebrews Wouldn't Have Meat
-GentiIes Will Eat 1t.

The Hebrews of Topeka had diff
ficult time Tuesday night finding
beef suitable for their New Years
celebration. The reason the beeves
would not do was because the lungs
leaked after they were inflated, the
result of minute adhesions Three
animals We're killed by the rabbi be-
fore one was found that would meet
the requirements of the Jewish re-
ligion.
While the Hebrews will not use any
of the first two beeves or the hind
quarters of the third, they are suitable
for the open market of the GentileS.
DIR. Leslie w. Rowles, city milk inspec-
tor was present at the killing and,
after an examination, found the beeVes
suitable for Gentle stomachs.
The method used in killing the beef.
as described by DIR. Rowles. is peculiar
to the Hebrews. The animal is thrown
on it's back and its forefeet tied. pull
ley is connected with a rope and the
animal is suspended in the air. The
rabbi, with a sharp knife. Sits the
beef's throat. Another incision is then
made on the back near the hind quart
ers and the lungs removed. A butcher
initiates the lungs with air and the
lungs are examined for leakage in the

lungs the animal will not be used

GOOD CROP WEEK
Favorable for Work
More Rain Needed.
Corn All Cut-Early Wheat AL
ready Coming Up.

This was a week of very pleaSa mt
weather in all parts of Kansas, with
abundant sunshine, temperatures near
or above normal, and only a few light
showers over most of the state, ac-
cording to the weather bureau sum-
mary of weather and crop conditions
for the week ending Tuesday. issued
for the last time this season. Condi-
tions were favorable for all outdoor
work, except that more rain is needed
for blowing and narrowing in nearly
all parts.
Preparing the ground for all seed
ing is about finished and in the ex-
treme western counties a eonsidera BILE
per cent of the wheat has already
been sown, but in the eastern half this
work is being delayed until the fly
free dates the forepart of October.
Wheat Coming Up.
Early wheat is coming up to good
stands in many western counties. In
the central counties some of it is al
ready infested with fly, and in the
extreme northwestern portion grass
hoppers are damaging it.
Corn Cutting Done.
Cutting corn is practically finished
In the extreme southern part of the
state some corn on the stalk is dry
enough to be husked but this work
will not generally begin for two or
three weeks yet. In some places the
farmers are pasturing the fields with
out husking them.
Sorghums Late.
In a few localities a considerable
part of the sorghum crops will mature
if frost does not occur before the mid
die of October. In a great many other
places it will require nearly a month
without frost before they are safe.
Pastures, as rule, are good I'm
less frost occurs soon there will be an
other cutting of alfalfa in the eastern
counties. Alfalfa seen in the central
part of the state is turning out only
fairly well, many of the Yields run
acre.
Apple harvest is progressing but the
apples are of an inferior quality in
most places.
Report From Washington.
Washington, D. c., Sept 27.-Frost
New York to Missouri but the bulk Of
the corn crop had either matured or
escaped. Cutting and filling silos
progressed rapidly. The yield is fair
to good generally. In Tennessee and
central Gulf states the late crop needs
rain.
Soil preparation and seeding wheat
IS progressing satisfactorily except
where the ground is too dry. The
seeding is purposely delayed in many
states on account of danger of the
Hessian fly.
In Nebraska and western Kansas
much of the early sown is now up
Flax cutting is nearing completion.
Buckwheat is good in Pennsylvania
but some was damaged by frost IN
New York.
Rice harvest is proceeding with a
good crop. Potato digging continues
with variable yields. Tobacco har-
vesting is almost completed. Late
truck and fall pastures usually need
rain
