THE MAGIC HOE

Once upon a time there lived a
Queen who had an only son, Prince
Roland. The Queen gave him every
thing In the world he wanted, but it
distressed her greatly to find he was
never satisfied, he seemed to grow
weak and ill.,
There were five white ponies and
five black ponies kept for his pleasure
but he said he was tired OF riding.
Then the Queen gave him chariots
and boats Of all kinds, but he simply
turned up his nose and fretted and
grew paler each day. The cooks
made every kind of dish they could
think Of. He had pie and ice cream
ten times a day, and every kind OF
toy that the stores could furnish, but
nothing seemed to please him.
He got paler each day. The tin
soldiers gathered dust, the doctors fed
him on pink pills and blue powders
but he only got worse. The Queen
vas in despair and the court in gloom.
Then one day an old woman hobbled
up to the door and asked to see the
Queen.
IL your majesty will let me try |
said the woman.
IF you can do that" replied the
Queen, II will grant you any favor in
my power
i will cure your son on one cond,-
ton only" continued the old woman.
And that Is that you give me COM
plete control over him for a month.
| have a magic hoe which he must
use, but he must remain with me and
under my complete direction"
So the Queen agreed, and the Prince
was driven in coach and six to the
cottage. The woman took off his vel
vet suit and put on one OF rough cot
ton; his ponies and toys were kept at
the palace and only a few guards
were stationed in sight.
Now Prince Roland, I mean to
cure you and you must obey me" said
the woman in a stern voice. Here
is the Magic Hoe. If you use it faith
fully for a month you will be striong,
rosy and happy, and the Queen orders
that you do just as say. Now, there
is field Of corn; go there and hoe
for an hour. The magic spell will be-
gin to work as soon as you strike it
into the ground"
The Prince did not enjoy the idea,
but he had to obey. So, dressed in his
plain suit and with the hoe in his
hand, he went to the field. At first
it was hard to hit so as to turn the
sod. but soon he became interested
and dug we'll.
At noon the old woman called him
in to simple dinner, and he found,
to his surprise, that it tasted good. So
did the cool water from the well.
All the afternoon he was kept busy
pruning the vines, watering the flow
ers and feeding the chickens; but the
next day he was given the magic hoe
again. This time he worked longer
and grew very tired. SO he was glad to
rest. and ate a hearty supper. He
slept well, and rose to enjoy simple
breakfast. He found the place inter
esting, and his cheeks began to grow
full and pink. ..
This was kept up for two weeks,
every day four hours of welding the
Magic Hoe in the field till the per
spiration rolled down his rosy face,
and then work around at other things
The prince soon looked like a new
boy No longer was he weary, pale
and bored. He took an interest in

FORGET YOUR ACHES

Stiff knees, aching limbs, lame back
makes life burden. If you suffer from
rheumatism, govt, lumbago, neuralgia,
get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment, the
universal remedy for pain. Easy to
apply; it penetrates without rubbing
and soothes the tender flesh. Cleaner
and more effective than mussy oint-
ments or poultices. For strains or
sprains, sore muscles or wrenched
ligaments resulting from strenuous
exercise, Sloan's Liniment gives quick
relief. Keep it on hand for emergen-
cies. At your Druggist, Csc. Adv.
