1t Ii SO nice.
So skating we'l go.
Heigh-ho. heigh-ho. -
The Gnomes sang this song. ana
some Of them blew bugles for they
were to give a skating party and they
had invited the Brownies and the
Fairies.
From all over came the Brownies
and the Fairies. Some Of the Fairies
flew along yer the ice in their new
iceboat, while the Brownies came rum
ming and tumbling In their eagerness
to get to the party quickly.
And Mr.. Moon was up In the sky
beamlng down on everyone and grim
ming from ear to ear.
! shall see some fun tonight,
So I'll give you a good bright light.
That pleased the Gnomes for they
were very anxious 1t should be light 10
they could have a better time.
Everyone sat down BY the side Of
the frozen lake and after the skates
were all on, off they started.
The Brownies had been given their
skates by the Fairy Queen and al
though the Gnomes had warned them
not to try any tricks, off they started
holding hands.
Yhey had no sooner got out a little
way on the ice than they fell down.
How the Fairies and Gnomes laughed.
And when they got up again they fell
down once ore
II don't suppose we'd better take
hands," said Billie Brownie to the rest
of the Brownies.
"No, we'd better not" the others
whispered.
So they all started off by themselves.
Billie Brownie thought he'd try a curve
but after having fallen down sixty
nine times trying 1t he had one
near success. He hoped, Of course,
that this would be a lucky time, and
not like one Of the %sixty.nine times he
had fallen while practicing.
But alas and alack. this was not a
lucky time, for he not only fell down
but he rolled over three times, as he
had tried to skate with such a flourish
he could not stop moving.
The Fairies and Gnomes races,
but after a while Billie Brownie said:
Nov we'll give an ice circus If the
Fairies and Gnomes will do some Of
their beautiful fancy skating for US
afterwards"
agreed" said the Fairies and
Gnomes.
The Brownies all got together and
had a circus. They had masks in their
pockets which they put On their faces,
and they were so covered with snow
from falling down that they looked
very clownlike.
'There will be no bareback riders In
this circus" said Billie Brownie. "And
there will be no tricks worth seeing. It
will simply be a circus that is a cir
cusI"
And indeed it was a circus! Such
funny things as the Brownies did do;

PINNACLE OF eoLFINe FAME

and Amateur Titles.

Accomplishing that which no other
golfer in the world has done-winning
an open and amateur national cham
pionship in the same year-Chick
Evans of Chicago. has reached the
pinnacle Of goling fame.
His performance at Philadelphia,
where Saturday he defeated Champion
Gardner for the amateur title, was
even more meritorious than his golfing
at Minneapolis, where he won in a
field composed Of the best amateurs
and professionals in the country. This
must be obvious to anyone who has
ever participated in tournament play.

RIGHT SPEED FOR SEPARATOR
Often Nearly one-Half Of Fat May Be
Found In Skim Milk When Ma
chine 10 Run Slowly.

As much as so per cent variation In
the richness of cream may be obtained
by variation in speed Of operating the
separator. If normal speed is So
turns Of the crank per minute, rs turns
will bring rich cream and 25 turns will
bring thin cream. A great deal Of fat
is lost in the skim milk when low speed
is used. Sometimes nearly one-half Of
the fat may be found in the skim milk
when the separator has been u too
slowly. This demonstrates the fact
that there is only n speed for eco
nomical operation Of the separator,
and that is the right speed. This speed
is indicated on the crank handle.

PARTICIPATE IN PENN GAMES
Princeton and Harvard Will Send Re.
lay Teams and Track stars to
Pennsylvania Meet.

Both Harvard and Princeton will
probably send relay teams and track
stars to the Pennsylvania relay games
on Franklin field next April. "A report
that the two universities were arrang-
ing a dual track meet for that date Is
denied by both.
Manager Clark Of the Harvard track
team said the other day: Il wish to
deny the rumor that Harvard will
meet Princeton in a dual meet the last
Saturday in April and withdraw from
the Penn relays. Harvard will not
meet Princeton in such games and will
probably, attend the relays"
From Princeton comes word that the
Tigers and Crimson have not agreed to
meet on the track Id April, although
such a report has been heard about
the university.

They fell down and rolled about and
they didn't try one trick that was sue
cessfull
The Fairies and Gnomes sat around
and watched, and how they did Taught
The Gnomes said they would surely
split their sides If the Brownies didn't
stop doing such funny things, and the
Fairies laughed until great tears fell
down their facesl As for Mr.. Moon his
grin looked so wide that the Gnomes
were a little afraid he might fall in
halves. But as they had never heard
of Mr.. Moon doing that they were not
quite SO worried as they would have
been otherwise.
After the circus was over the Fairies
and Gnomes dds very lovely fancy
skating. The Brownies who were quite
worn out and b~reathless sat and
watched and clapped their hands.
The Fairy Queen did the most mar
velous figures on the ice and some Of
the Fairies danced together.
"Well," said the Gnomes, when, the
skating was just about over, I'VE will
now have some Of the Gnomes' good
hot soup" .
"Hurrah." shouted the Brownies and
Fairies. 'This is a real party"
TITS too bad" said Mr.. Moon, but I
don't eat soup. However, I'll enjoy
watching you have a good time"
THANK you for coming" said the
Gnomes, land we're Y so sorry you
don't like soup. But we didn't know
what sort Of goodies you did like
II don't eat" said the Moon, 'but
I've loved your party and think 1t was
q great success"

to that Of the Jersey, while Ayrshire
milk is intermediate between that OF
these two breeds and the Holstein.
These analyses indicate that the per-
centage Of protein in milk increases
with the fat content, but not in pro-
portion. Skim milk from Holstein
milk having 3.3 per cent fat contained
3.5 per cent protein, while Jersey milk
tested AZ per cent fat and Al per cent
protein. The variation in the sugar
content showed a similar tendency.
Thus the fat content of milk offers
a practical basis to compute the COM
position of skim milk derived from 1t.

Strange as 1t may seem to those

Mr.. Evans was. the Western cham
