trying to gouge the city. Men Of that type DO
not stoop to such practices and only man OF
shallow brain would accuse them of such an at
tempt.
If the mayor wants to play the political game
with acumen, he ought reverse his attitude, and
by making conditions easy for manufacturers,
encourage them to enlarge their plants and bring
other industries here. Repetitions Of mayoraty
ignorance, such as the present incumbent showed
Monday night, will not only prevent other indus
tries from coming but also will drive away the
ones we have.

which brought him in so much wealth.

little daughter. 1T was all had left

destroyed that"

father. / am sure he will aid you af-
ter this trouble"
NO" replied Hans. Its no use to
ask him. He says my father left all
to him in the will and that | was to
get nothing. Of course, as he was
the Oldest son and we found no will,
he kept the castle and lands for him
self. But he gave me this bit of
ground to live on for while"
Just then there came a binding
flash of lightning, a roar of crashing
thunder, and great tree in the for
est came tottering to earth, striking
rock and splintering off large part
Of the stone. Hans could see that this
opened a cave to the rain and wind,
and that in the recess of the rock
were party of gnomes in a state of

least gallon of jewels flashing in
the light There we're pearls, emer-
aids. rubies and precious stones OF all
kinds; enough to buy kingdom.
The next day Hans went to the
city and bought fine farm for him
self, stocking it with cattle and fur
nishing his new house in handsome
style. But hardly had he gotten set
tied when up rode his brother, Ivan.
Ivan had heard Of Hans good luck
and was jealous, so he came to see
what had happened.
Simple Hans told him the story Of
the gnomes, and Ivan rode at once to
the cave. Pushing his way in rudely,
he ordered feast to be spread. The
chief gnome said nothing, but with a
queer smile told the dwarfs to bring
it in, and at the end, just as Ivan ex-
pected, the big boxes were brought.
Take the one you wish" said the
gnome, with quaint laugh.
why, l want the golden one, Of
course" Ivan said, gruffly, as he
seized the exquisite cacket of shining
gilt. Good day, gnome," and without
a word of thanks he left the cave.
Putting spurs to his horse, he galloped
down to the river to cross the ford
which led to his own castle. But as
soon as he entered the river he found
the box began to grow heavier. 1t
soon was so burdensome that the
horse staggered beneath its weight,
but Ivan would not let go. Then there
came swift rush of a sweeping cur
rent, the horse fell, and Ivan. still
holding tightly the golden box, was
carried down the stream.
With loud cry he sank beneath the
waves and was seen no more, but the
golden chest, which had grown into
huge stone, rested on the bottom of
the river, its yellow top rising above
the water and shining always in the
sun So now the peasants who ride
that way always call it the Golden
Rock" and tell their children about
the fate of greedy Ivan.

terror. Their beds and furniture were
being ruined by the water Hans ran
out, and telling the little men to get
to work, he piled the tiny things into
his arms and carried them into the
back part Of the cavern, where it was
dry. Within a few moments every
thing was safe
I'VE will make feast IN honor of
our guest said the one who seemed
to be the head of the little men.
Bring out our wine and our best nut
cake So the gnomes went to closets
in the stone and soon had a feast
spread-wine in golden goblets, fruit
in baskets of woven silver wire, cand-
les in crystal plates and a cloth of
purple velvet.
After hungry Hans had eaten he
rose to 60 The rain had stopped and
the moon was just rising The chief
gnome clapped his hands and two
dwarfs brought into Jew big box
Il wish to give you reward" said
the big gnome, but l will leave the
choice to you. There are two chests
within that large one. The first is of
plain wood and the other of carved
gold-take the one you desire"
Hans was not greedy fellow, and
not wishing to deprive the kind
gnomes of any costly thing they had,
he took up the wooden one.

When boy the writer was fond
of reading Aesop's Fables. We are
reminded of one that ran somewhat
as follows: I'm food the mice were
on a chip floating safely along when
the rats swan out, climbed on against
the protest of the mice, and sank the

The Progressive party were very
unfortunate in the marvellous success
of its initial campaign; too many

swamped it; but we rejoice to know

lmperSOnatOr Draws Large Crowd

Sidney Landon, the first lectur-
er of Grantsyille's new lyceum
course, made a big hit here Thurs.
day night when he entertained a
large crowd at the Courthouse
with his Character Studies of
Great Men,.
His INSTALLATION, in the first
impcrsonation, of Mark Twain,
and indeed in all the characters
portrayed, were so natural as to
be startling. Beside Marx Twain
in his famous seventeen birthday
speech, Mr.. Landon impersonat-
ed and quoted from Bill Nye in
The Boy, Edgar Allan Poe in
"Annabel Lee, and an Indiana
farmer, one of James Whitcomb
Riley's characters. A breathIess
hush settled over the house dur
ing the recital of Poe's poem,
but the audience was kept in an
uproar of applause by the other
representations.
