THE MAGIC FLUTE

Possibly you do not know that the
elder bush Is fairy plant. 1t grows In
fairyland. and all the elderberry
bushes. or elder trees, as they used to
be called. are in the care Of the elder
mother. who watches over them, re-
warding those who help and Furnishing
those who harm her children, as she
calls her elder bushes Hti.e
The fairy horns and all their musical
instruments are carved out Of elder
wood. If you have ever made whis-
tie from the elder wood you will notice
that 1t has delightfully."- mellow tone.
And once there was little boy who
was wonderfully fond of music. At
evening, when he took home the sheep
he had all day been watching In the
forest, he could only talk OF the won
derful music that was to be beard
there
One day as he wandered by his IA
vorite brook I'm the forest he noticed
that one of the great bushes by the
stream was broken.
Poor thingl III tie 1t up,n said
the shepherd boy. He bound up the
broken limb, and he thought a rustic
passed through the plant
One day the boy lost one Of his sheep
and after taking the rest OF his flock
home started back to the forest to seek
1t. After searching a long time he
found 1t asleep under the elder bush
which he had so carefully tended.
As It was very late and they were
far from home, he curled down beside
the sheep and went to sleep. and In his
sleep he had strange dream.
In this dream lovely lady rose from
the elder bush.
II am the elder mother she said.
You have served me and mine. Now
we shah help you. Look well at this"
And she handed him flute, at which
he looked long and carefully.
when you awaken make one of the
same kind Of the wood Of the elder
bush beneath which you Sleep" she
commanded.
The boy did as he was told. and
though he had never tried to make any
thing Of the kind before, the minute he
raised the flute to his lips he found 1t
would play the most delightful music.
Just as he began to play the king
went riding by and was SO enchanted
by the music that he asked the little
boy to come with him to court and
play for INN every day.
And there the boy played all the
songs which he had beard in the forest
the songs OF the birds, the splashing
Of the waterfalls, the MARBLE Of the
brook over the stones and the signing
Of the~whd through the trees land the
whole court praised him, and the little
shepherd boy became rich and famous

Because a number of her forbears
died at the arrival of their first born,
Ellen Franklin has a dretad of mother
hood, The death of her sister aud her
baby heightens her fears and causes a
gradual enlargement from her hus-
band. Her husband overhears another
man declaring his love to her, thinks
that she loves him no longer, and
agrees to make it possible for his wife
to marry the other man. Because his
wife's unwillingness to have children,
John has some reason to believe she
does not love him. At last, through

RHEIMS BATTERED BY 1862
SHELLS; NEAR COLLAPSE,

The big cathedral city Of the Cham
payne district has the appearance Of
hollow shell which has collapsed in parts
and is rapidly subsiding into a shapeless
mass. Not only the cathedral but all
the public buildings and private dwell
ing houses have suffered terribly in the
last half-year from the raging venge-
ance Of the German gunners who have
turned rain Of shells into the stricken
city when ever their armies have been
defeated at any point on the front
These defeats have been frequent either
on a small or large scale since the Allied
offensive began this year, and the city
has rarely more than two or three DAYS
without undergoing severe lombard
ment.
The extent Of the undeserved punish.
ment may be gathered from the figures
relating to the number of shells of all
calibres poured into the streets and On
the cathedral during a single fortnight
from June is to June 2s. The total be-
tween these two dates was no fewer
than 16,052.

Yet when it came to the action Of the
war Congress, Representative Martin
presented no antagonism to the party
to which he once belonged. He ex.
pressed hemself fully and clearly on
that point when the time and necessity
arose.
Now that our country is on the
verge of war; he said "and the dan

in the great European conflict As i'm

patriotism for politics, to lay aside all

"Do you like to make speeches."
someone asked Mr.. Martin For it was
difficult to imagine the imam with the
retiring, unobstrusive nlanner, the man
whose voice was so LOW and gently
modulated that the faitt play of the
lazy fountain iii the tou1swasC distinct
ly heard in the office al he talked-it
was almost impossible tp visualize the
man on the floor of thel House with a
clear, earnest, loud speech. Yet it is a
well-known fact that he ca be heard
all over the House and 10 e farther
most end of the galleries when he has
something to say. 1t is just as well
known that he is not il the habit of
making speeches. In fact he has made
extended addresses only three times
since he came to Congress.
"Do 1 like to make speeches9" he
repeated the question. 81 never
thought whether liked it or not" he
smiled. "You see,when there is some
thing to say, say il. I've never
thought about the oratorical side of it,
either. l don't think I've ever had
any rank whatever as an orator-at
least l never have heard about it. -
Mr.. Martin is a native of the State
he represents. He was born in Assump.
ton Parish, on a plantation, where he
spent his boyhood. He began his edu-
cation in the public schools, and under
private tutors. He was graduated
from the State University when he was
p, with the degree of b. s., and later
studied law at the University of Vir-
ginia. Before he undertook the study
of law, however, he had specialized in
chemistry, and was a sugar chemist,
devoting himself to the work in the
factories, thereby adding to the re-
sources necessary to defray expenses
of the years of his law practice.

Mr.. Martin explained, ''because they
