PARTY IN ELFLAND.

"Elfand,' said Daddy, twas very gay last evening, as the Elves had party"
 "What sort of a party?' asked the Children.
 "A Bonfire. Dance. Picnic, Nuttlng Party, Frolic, all in one.s
 "Oh, dear" said Nancy that sounds like more than one party"
 "How did they ever succeed in hav- ing all that?" asked Nick
 Tn the first place." continued Dad- dy, "they had beautiful Bonfire made of sticks and leaves and dry logs. And then they danced. But I am telling you this story too quickly, for there was so much to each part of the Elves Party.
 'The Fairies, the Gnomes and the Brownies were all Invited to the Elves party, and so was Mir. Giant and old. Witty Witch.
 "Old Witty Witch, so named because' of the funny Stories she could tell, and because she was the dearest old Witch In the World, sat by the Bonfire, and holding some of the little Elves and Brownies and Gnomes in her lap, she began to tell them Wondrous happen ings which were taking place back in the flames of the Bonfire. She told them what the Sparks were saying, and when the great loud Crackles came she told them what they meant.
 "After she had told Stories for a long time, they asked MT. Giant to tell them some. So he stretched out his great, long Legs, and after clearing his Throat so 1t resounded through the Woods, Mir. Giant commenced and told them many of the Dangerous Escapes he had had, which they enjoyed hear ing about-especially because Mir. Giant was really Safe and Sound with chem.
 Sometimes he would get them so excited and frightened that he would laugh hard and say, But then I got out of that Scrape quite all right, and the Elves Brownies, Gnomes and Wit ty Witch would laugh for all they were worth.
 "After the Stories had been told and the Bonfire had been watched and gazed into for long, long time, the Dance began.

PULASKI cHANcERY COURT RE VERSED BY RULING OF THE
 HIGHER COURT.
MUST PAY S1OO,OOO DEBT
Court Decree That $25o Was Exces- sive Damages For White Woman to Receive For Riding Distance of
 Four Miles in Negro Coach.
Little Rock

The Arkansas Supreme Court pass ed upon the famous Arkansas Anthra- cite Mining Company suit instituted by Chas Mckee and others, holders of cash stock against J. w. Coffman, H. L. Remmel, Geo. B. Rose and oth- CTS, holders of option stock.
 The court held that if 15,000 acres of coal lands in Logan county, owned by the corporation. could not be sold for more than s35 an acre, the cash stock should be given preference over the option stock, providing all debts of the company were paid ratably by the cash and option stockholders.
 The higher court reversed the Pu. Iasl1i Chancery Court and remanded the case with directions to enter a decree in accordance with findings contained in the Supreme Courts de- cision.
 The corporation owns coal fields es- timated to contain 98,000,000 tons of coal, and has an indebtedness against 1t totaling S100,00O.
 Should the coal lands sell for more than $25 an acre, assets of the corpo- ration, the decision held, should be divided proportionally among the hold CTS of the two characters of stock. Under a contract held by the option stockholders, however, the Supreme Court held, the assets, after debts are paid, shall form a mortgage protect ing the cash stockholders.
 The court decreed that $250 was ex- cessive damages for white woman to receive for riding a distance of four miles in a negro railroad coach. The suit was filed by Mrs. Lennie E. Ali son and the administrator of the es- tate of Miss Ida Trussell deceased, of Hot Springs county. Mrs. Allison and Miss Trussell were sisters.
 Evidence in the case showed that the two boarded Rock Island train at Price to ride to Lawrence, a dis tance of four miles. The coach for white persons was crowded and the conductor, it was testified, asked the two to take seats in the negro coach, where, he said, his wife was sitting Miss Trussell died during pendency of the litigation.
 One damage verdict received by the two white women was reversed by the Supreme Court, and on appeal of the second case, the railroad asked re. versal on the grounds that the dam. ages allowed-$250 each-were exces- sive. The Supreme Court reduced the judgments to $50 each.

Gnomes, and the Woodland Orchestra of the Fairy Ybab played Wondrous Music. The Trees hummed the Tunes as they danced, and the Wing sang, too!
 "Even the little Stars came out and danced. And Mir Moon peeped through the Trees and grinned with pleasure to see everyone enjoying the Dance so much.
 "Now,' said Fife Elf, it is time for the Picnic
 ''The Bonfire had been kept up all this time, and they all sat around it once more, while they had delicious Goodies which had been cooked in the Fire. There were Roasted Ears of Corn, and there were Roasted Apples. And they had the Ice Cream of Elf land with delicious hot sauce poured over it which had been cooked in the Bonfire!
 "After they had had the Picnic, the Elves said:
 Now hunt for the Nuts '
 'Whatp exclaimed Fairy Ybab. Something more is to happenr
 Certainly said the Elves.
 "So they all started looking for Nuts -and they found hidden near by Hick- ory Nuts, chestnuts and Butternuts.
 We will Roast those in the fire, too said the Ewes, but first of ali we must present the Prize to Bennie Brownie for finding the greatest num- Der of Nuts. The Prize is hand some Umbrella made out of red TOadstool.'
 "Bennie Brownie made a low bow as he received his Prize, and he held the Umbrella over his Head for the rest of he evening. I hope it Rains tomor- row. he said. Then I will take a 'ong walk. How smart and fine I will look with this Umbrella.'

 "He may have received a strong hint that he was nominated for the fate that overlook young Custer, Hamilton and Thurston; and so planned to give his disappearance the coler of a simi- lar end.''
 You don't mean to say you think there was any method in that train of tragedies?"
 Pm not in the least superstitious, my dear man. l don't for an instant believe, as some people claim to, that Sara Law is destroying angel, hound- ed by tragic fate: that her love is equivalent to the death warrant of the man who wins it."
 But what do you think, then?" "I think" said Ember slowly, his gaze on the table, "that someone with a very strong interest in keeping the young woman single-and on the | stage-'

All theatri- cal managers are, of course; but Max Is card-fend. The tale of his plung- 1 ing runs like wildf1re up and down Broadway, day by day. A dozen times he's been on the verge of ruin, yet always he has had Sara Law to rely | upon; always he's been able to fall | back upon that asset, sure that her popularity would staye off bankruptcy. And he's superstitious: he believes she l is his mascot. I don't accuse him-I 1 suspect him, knowing him to be ca pablo of many weird extravagances. Furthermore, it's a fact that Max was fellow-passenge with Billy Hamilton when the latter disappeared | in midocean."

 Have you told Max of your rela- tions with Sara Law? "No."

 "Then keep the truth to yourself-at least until this coil is strengthened out"
 Ember got up. "Good night" he said pleasantly.
 Whitaker took his hand, staring. Good night" he echoed blankly. 'But - say-why keep it quiet?" Ember, turning to go, paused, his glance quietly quizzical. You don't mean to claim your wife?"
