1t had been a cold day and Nick and
Nancy were sitting before the fire
when Daddy came in to tell them his
bedtime tory
rs the fire saying anything to-

"Oh. there have been such queer
sounds ana snaps and cracks" said
Nancy.
"And the flames have been Of all
sorts Of coors" said Nick.
81 think know what's going to hap
pen there tonight" said Daddy.
"Oh, whatY' exclaimed the children,
excitedly
"1hey are going 10 have a ball" said
Daddy "aud they are making all their
plans NOW. The snaps and cracks and
queer sounds you hear are the sounds
Of the Fire Fairies making their ban
quot for The BAH, ana the different col.

wear, and decorate the fireplace
With."
"Can we watch themY asked the
Children.
Yes said Daddy; They're just be-

And as they sat before the fire they
saw great many blue flames.
"What are thcy2' asked Nancy.
They are the Blue Fire Fairies and
they're going to meet the Red Flame
Fairies as they arrive at lhe ball. And
sure enough, the blue and red coors
IN the fire seemed to be dancing and
playing and froIcking together.
Then came the Yellow Fire Fairies
and the Green Fire Fairies and some
queer ones dressed in black.
They are the witches said Daddy.
"Oh, dear" shiyered Nancy
But they're nice-witches are
you know"
Yes" said Nancy "But they look
rather fightfu in their black coors."
"Ah, no, said Daddy, that IS only
to make them look more mysterious
md marvellous. And after the dancing
is over the Witches will tell the Fire
Fairies the most beautiful stories OF
everything that has happened in the
fireplace for years and years and

said Daddy. "Ihe Fire Fairy Cooks
have flushed everything and now they
are onloyng the goodies"
Int soon the flames began to die
down and only a few little flashes of
light and fire were seen from time to
time.
"rhose flashes and flames" said
Daddy "are some of the Fire Fairies
who are sun wide awake enough to
usk the Witches questions. For now
the Witches are telling bedtime tales,

WAR TALKS

Jimmie Collins Tells What He Saw
What Military Training Does
for Boys.
Number Two

"well. here we areI" exclaimed Bill
lie, presenting his chum, Jimmie Cob
Inns.
"very glad to see you, Mr.. Collins"
said Uncle Dan with q smile.
"Aw," said Billie, "Just call him
Jimmie. That's the only name he
knows. He's the pitcher Of our base
ball nine. and he's some pitcher. too.
Just feel Of his arm"
"Well," said Uncle Dan, feeling.
''That's a mighty good arml"
"Now, boys" said Uncle Dan. what
do you want to talk aboutT
"Well," said Jimmie, II was down to
Galesburg a few months ago when the
boys came home from the Mexican
border. They looked fine. Everybody
was surprised to see how straight they
stood and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud to wear the uni.
form. I tell you their muscles were as
hard as nails. heard Banker Haskell
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have. and that now these boys could
get a better job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do You
think that's so, Uncle Danr
Uncle Dan replied: Il have .
friend who employs hundreds Of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference
he says it pays to do 80. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. he said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
Of intensive military training would
add at least 20 per cent to q mans

earning capacity, and that II was the
best investment any young man could
make.
"Billie, If you will 60 up to my room
and bring my small handbag, will
let you see two photographs Of the
same young man, showing what only
Eve months Of intensive training ON
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: swell.
here they are. They tell their own
story and 1t is q mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little Of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he Joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him In charge,
life for him took on q new meaning.
He saw a chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he Is twice the man he was
when he Joined the army. This may
be one Of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men Of this nation %
much good In so short time as few
months Of intensive military training.
It fits q man to fight his own life bat
ties in the business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
"Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t Is COM
pulsory. 1t Is based upon the fact that
it is the duty of everyone. to help de-
fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops Is nearly three times
as great as 10 Is with well-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. BY this plan q
nation has trained men to defend her
and the Individual Is q stronger and
better man for the training.
IF the Chamberlain Bill for Mill.
tary Training is passed by congress,
as it ought to be. the same thing would
be done for millions Of other youna
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand Of his congressman
and senators the passage Of thia
BILL"
All right, sir, exclaimed Jimmie. W
will see Judge Brownell. Mr.. Haskstt
and Professor Slocun, and get then
busy"

GREAT TASK IS
 AHEAD TO MOVE
 THE NEW ARMY
Over Two Hundred Thous- and Soldiers to Move
 from Thirty-eight
 Hundred Towns.
TRAFFIC EXPERTS WORK
Troop Movement Will Be Accomplished without Delay to Any Extent
 of Regular Traffic

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Ameri can railroads face their greatest task. Between Saturday, September II, and Wednesday, September >5 .here must be moved 229,O00 sol diers of the National army from $500 cities and towns to 16 canton ments. Troop trains have the right of way and government materials must move without a halt Half hundred traffic experts arc 1t work on the plan, beside 2S rail way executives of the railway com mittee of the Council of Nationa Defense, the quartermaster corps md the staff experts of Provost Mar shal General Crowder.
 Railway men say the movement of troops will be accomplished witt the minimum amount of inconven ence to regular traffic. For forty eight hours, however. it is highly probable there must be some delay n schedules.
 Moving the first third of the Ma tion army will require 16,687 cars md 1,09S locomotives. There will )e 1,098 trains of approximately 1t cars moving with troops over 17t different railroads. This will require 21 per cent of the locomotives of the country and 12.6 per cent. oi the passenger cars.
 Day coaches will be used, with possibly few Pullmans for the of 'icers and members of the local boards. There will be no haul longer than 12 hours.
 railway expert will be assigned to every local board, with whom the boards will devise the scheme of mobilization. The most direct route must be used and no discrimination between the roads made. The traf ifs shall be divided equally between parallel systems. In some cases 1t will be necessary to ration troops enroute. Large supplies of food will )e prepared at points where troop trains may stop.
 Most of the traffic will fall on Sept. 3 and 4. In some districts
 he men will have to travel several miles to the board headquarters. It is expected it will take two days for the quotas to be made ready.
 Baggage cars and trains will be provided The routes and time of departure will be kept secret.
 The tariffs charged by the govern. ment will be standardized and based on cost plus the reasonable profit. These rates will be submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission.

CUTS ANCHOR CHAIN OF MINES AND PUTS
 MINES TO THE BAD

ROTTERDAM, Amsterdam, Aug 21.-Expetiments with a newly in vented device intended to cut the anchor chains of floating mines and to prevent them from coming in contact with vessel passing through 2 mine field, have been conducted here, it is claimed, with success. The contrivance was invented by Rear Admiral Goedhart of the Dutch Ma wy.
 1t was affixed to a steamship of the Batavier Line for a series oi tests. The vessel steamed through field of harmless mines with the result it is asserted, that every mine which barred her course automati cally was pushed aside and it's an chor chain cut.
 The invention consists of steel prolongation of the ships bow, which is easily hoisted or slowed away It extends eighteen feet under the water and is designed to push the mine anchoring chains or cables aside to a distance of fifteen feet from either side of the vessel. At that point the cables or chains are clipped and the liberated mine rises to the surface fifteen feet from the vessels side. Having once been pass ed safely. the plan is to explode the floating mine by shooting at it.
 After the clipping of the chain of one mine the apparatus is intended automatically to become ready to deal with the next.
