Hello" said the flowers. "Ah," they
added, you have given us some OF

"Yes," said the Butterflies, that is

SURPRISE OF THE FLOWERS.

1--WE are going to give the fairies
surprise" said the buds Of the spring
flowers
"Well be ready to open tomorrow
morning very early" said the Tulips.
I'VE will too" said the Hyacinths.
And we Will be ready also" said
the different Narcissus flowers.
"That will be splendid" said the
garden VioletS.
And the little Johnny Jump-Ups said,
Wen jump open too"
Now early the following morning the
fairies were up taxing their dew
baths when one by one the buds opened
and the flowers peeped out and smiled.
They nodded their heads to say u
"Good-morning" to the fairies, and the
fairies all screamed with delight.
The spring flowers" they called
They're all opening up. All, aren't
they lovely,"
And the flowers nodded their heads
some more in the soft breeze, for the
warm spring breeze likes to help the
little flowers when they want to be po-
lite. And flowers love to be polite.
They like TO nod their heads and say
a "Good-morning" to all the world.
Have you had a good winters
sleep" asked the Queen of the Fairies,
and the flowers nodded their heads
again and smiled.
The Tulips smiled and looked so
| bright and golden. The little Johnny
Jump-Ups laughed with glee. The other
! flowers all looked so fresh and happy
and the fairies were beaming with de-
light.
Lets have a party" said the Queen
of the Fairies.
That's the very thing" said Fairy
Princess JOY.
And all the other fairies agreed that
| il would be the very incest sort Of Z
party with the spring flowers smiline
aud waving and dancing in the warm
breeze.
Let's ask the Butterflies" said the
| Queen of the Fairies.
| So the fairies flew this way and thai
and found all the little butterflies
sound asleep.
Spring, spring" they whispered
They did not want to startle the but
terfiies and awaken them TOO quickly

it was time to be up.
Soon the butterflies woke up. The.

The butterflies flew about little t

She led them back with all til

Very little evidence has come out as

Tells how to take soreness from a corn
and lift it right
out.

Hospital records show that every
time YOU cut corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that a quarter ounce of drug
called free2one can be obtained at lit
tie cost from the drug store but is
sufficient to rid one 5 feet Of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply few drops of
this on tender, aching corn and the
soreness is instantly relieved Short
~ the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.-Adv.
