Queen spoken than big red automO-
bile was suddenly seen at the entrance
Of the wooded glen where the fairies
were talking.
"Ahp said Fairy Princess Joy. "Now
for q driver, or chauffeur, believe the
grownups call the person who drives
an automobile"
''Driver," said the Fairy Queen, wav-
ing her wand again. Chauffeur or
driver. we bid thee come"
And in another moment in the front
seat of the automobile the fairies saw
a little round man dressed in green,
wearing a flowing green cape and q
tall hat of green, with silver bells.
"Come on, fairies |" shouted Princess
Joy. "This is gloriousp They all
climbed into the automobile. Some sat
on the sides and some on the seats and
one fairy perched herself on the
shoulder of the little man, who did not
seem to mind in the least.
1--WE are to have twilight supper in
honor of Twilight-Bell," said Princess
Joy. 1--WE must not start on our trip
just yet"
So Princess Joy brought out two big
baskets she had hidden away under
two bushes and gave each fairy little
napkin made out of ferns.
They had the most delicious supper,
but soon 1t was dark and Princess Joy
told the little old man to drive the car
along a country road she wished to
go.
They were instantly followed by a
band of Katydids. II had been told
that they would follow an auto light
and there is one at the back Of this
and all other automobiles" said Prin-
cess Joy. To be sure, she was right.
The Katydids few along after the au-
tomobile, and as they Topped their
wings up and down they sang. Such
a concert as they gave, and all the
fairies were so surprised and delight
ed, for they had not been able to guess
what sort of a trip they were going to
have with Princess Joy. So once again
she was true to her name and gave
JOY. but this time she said 1t was owing

D0BBIN HAS A DAY DREAM
Faithful Old Horse VIII Have Regular
Thrill When He Casts of
His Shoes.

When the automobile and the tin
Lizzie shall at last have relegated the
''hoss" to the limbo of things obsolete,
will the noble animal degenerate and
bark back to his ancestral type, or
will he simply disappear like the dodoT
asks "Zlm" In Cartoons magazine.
1t has taken a lot of time and pa
tience to develop Dobbin from the
primitive models such as the hydraco-
trerium, the pachynolophus and the
eohippus, to make him whoa" back
and "gitap" and take his meals out Of
nosebag. In the process Of civiliza-
ton he has gradually lost his toes and
has had to accommodate his feet to
the horseshoe. Does he still dream
perhaps Of the delights of having toes
of sinking them down into the green
sqush Of the tertiary era and feeling
the cool goo trickled up between them
If so, how glad he will be some day
to look down and see his long-forgotten
toes beginning to sprout once again
His will be the thrill of the small boy
on the first warm day of spring when
he can cast off his shoes and 60 bare
foot.
When the "hoss" discovers for the
first time that he can again wiggle
his toes, he will doubtless radiate a
smile Of solid comfort.

A Wise orana.outanu.

Prof. William T. Hornaday, thR'
noted animal preceptor, cites this In
stance Of ape sagadty:
81 once became quite chummy With
an unframed, Gagged, menagerie orang-
outang by the name Of Dohong. Hsr
was a son Of the jungle and intensely
concerned in matters that came into
his narrow life. All that he learned
outside of his inherited instincts h0e
learned himself. His cage contained
a number of horizontal bars attached
to brackets on which he took cOnsi0-
erable solemn exercise. One day h0
concluded that the bars ought to come
down. Bracing his feet against the
solid wall Of the cage, he pulled every
bar from its fastening and flung 1t on,
the floor. Larger bars were substA.
tuted, which the ape vainly tried to-
remove. After straining his back In
this futile effort, he walked up ana
down in his cage and was apparently
intently studying the situation. Event
ually he procured the crossbar Of hiB
trapeze and using II for lever, he
not only pried every horizontal bar
from its brackets, but he likewise
pried the iron bars Of his cage apart
so that he could stick his hea6
through the opening and satisfy his
curiosity regarding his neighbor In the
adjoining cage"

Lets get real automobile" said
Fairy Princess Joy.
"What about an airship?" asked
Fairy Ybab.
"An automobile would be the thing
for the sort of trip arn thinking Of"
said Fairy Princess Joy.
'Oh, you're thinking Of trip, ehH"
asked Ybab. "Well, if had known
that, would certainly never have
thought of suggesting anything, for
know full well that you have great
many ideas and most of the fun of the
party all thought out"
! Fairy Princess Joy laughed. II have
an idea" she said.
Just at that moment Princess Twi-
light-Bell came along. "HelloT she
called. in her beautiful bell-like voice.
"Good evening, Fairy Twilight-Bell,"
said Ybab.
"How are you this afternoon, Prin-
cess Twilight-Bell?" asked Princess
Joy. Sometimes Twilight-Bell and
Princess Joy were called princess"
and sometimes "Fairy." Both names
belonged to them.
"Ah, it's a merry Joke to hear one
say Good afternoon and the other
Good evening"" laughed Twilight-Bell.
eve knew that would make you
laugh" said Ybab, "and your laugh is
just like music, so / always want to
hear It,"
Fairy Ybab is the leader of the
fairies orchestra, you know, and loves
music above all things. She makes
wondrous music for the little creatures
Of Fairyland, and they help her, too.
"Of course" said Twilight-Bell, "you
are both right. 1t is quite as correct
to say Good evening as 1t is to say
Good aftenoon,' at this time Of the
day."
"Good twilight" said Ybab, and Twi-
light-Bell laughed again.
'I've never heard anyone say Good
twilight" she said, "but 1t sounds
very lovely. Let US always say 1t at
this time Of day in Fairyland."
So all the fairies Joined Twilight
Bells club, in which all the members
said "Good-twilight" every afternoon
after the sun had gone to bed and be-
fore the night had quite arrived.
"Princess Joy wants to get an auto
mobile" said Ybab to the other fairies.
''If she wants 1t she shall have It,"
said the Fairy Queen, and with wave
Of the silvery-purple wand she was
carrying she said:

Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain.

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply on the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
! At little cost one can get a small bot.
tie Of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet Of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment 1t is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think You
can lift of your corns and calluses
now without bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from

bone in his arm. Patients who In
