Why Frank Did Not
Become a Prince

One day Gertrude and Frank
were left to keep house" Ger
trude was six years old, and Frank
was four. Their mother had gone
to town.
Now" said Gertrude who loved
fairy stories, Il will tell you some
thing. am a fairy. If you are a
good child and will obey me, shall
turn you into prince, and dress
you in a coat trimmed with gold
lace, and there will be a plume in
your hat, and you shall have milk
white horse with bells on his
bride"
Frank thought he should like
milk-white horse, and he said,
How shall be good?"
The fairy" thought for q mo-
ment. Il will set this pot Of jam
on the floor" said she, land If you
do not touch it, shall know you
are a good boy, and will turn you
into a Prince
Then she took her knitting md
sat down with her back to Frank.
Frank looked at Gertrude, and
thought that she did not look like a
fairy. Then he looked at the jam,
and he was sure that it did look
like jam.
With a soft step he went over to
the jar and put his fingers in the
jam. Then he began eating it as
fast as he could.
In ten minutes Gertrude looked
around.
"Oh, Frank" she said. Now
you cannot be a prince"
"You couldn't make me prince
anyhow" said Frank. But Gertrude
told him he did not know, because
he was naughty and did not wait
to see.
So Frank never was prince,
and never had his milk white horse

Ancient Dolls Are
Found in Old Ruins

The first dolls of which there is
any knowledge were found among
the treasures unearthed from the
ruins of Ba bylon. They are small
figures of terra Gotta ard ivory and
beautifully carved. They are fas-
cinating objects and must have
been highly priced by the little As
syrians.
The children of ancient Lydia had
mechanical dolls that would move
their hands and legs by pulling
strings, somewhat after the way
we work jumping jacks Of today.
The classic Greek children play
cd with wax and clay dolls which
were gayly decorated with bright
colors. One kind of these dolls
could move it's limbs and the chill
dren could remove the handmade
clothes. But the majority of these
dolls represented goddesses and
gods or heroes and were made up
with legendary clothes already on
them.
The NEUROLOGICAL dolls were rev.
erently cared for by their young
owners, who were taught to pray to
the myths that were represented by
the dolls. Just think of such idol
worship in our enlightened days!
These little girls played with
their dolls until their wedding day.
as they were married while still
children and before they could UNI
Gerstand what responsibilities mar
riage really brought or meant. That
is another dreadful custom that
has passed away with the worship
of idols and false gods or godd-
esses. Brooklyn Eagle Junior.

Don't Forget the
Sailor Boys!

Tacoma sailors are beginning to
feel neglected and wonder If they
are forgotten by all OF their Taco
ma friends. we find in reading
letter received here by Charles
Gardiner from Elmor Russell of
the u. S. South Dakota. Russell
was formerly an employe of the
T. r. & p. Co.
Parts of his letter read as fol-
lows:

pital but | never knew for sure
whether you were.

Is Promoted
to Corporal

Horace II. Crazy, Taeoman at
Camp Meade, Maryland, with the
9th mining engineers, has been
promoted from private to a cor
pOral, according to a letter received
at his home here.
Crazy has been at Camp Meade
ever since Christmas and it Is only
inside of the last two weeks that
he has been allowed any liberty at
all, as the camp had been in quar-
antine for the mumps ever since
that time.
He likes the camp and says that
it is quite similar to Camp Lewis
at American lake, and that the
people at Washington, d. c., are
just as hospitable to the soldiers
there as the Tacomans are to the
boys at this camp.
Camp Meads also boasts of a
hostess house similar to that of
Camp Lewis, and Crary seems to
be much in favor of the plan as
he says he has spent many happy
hours and enjoyable times at the
hostess house.

From Jimmy in Boston

Friends of James Mason will
be glad to hear that Tacoma's
popular Jimmy is well and hap
py and just as popular in Boston
where he is attending the Harvard
radio school. Back in the good
old days he was a student of the
Stadium high.
Jimmy writes to his dad that
everyone in Boston is more than
hospitable and that he is being en-
tertained at dinners, theater par
ties. auto rides and all manner
and kinds of amusements dear to
the heart of the American youth.
Jimmy's Tacoma friends have
been very good to him, too, in re-
membering him by sending all
sorts of candies and Injuries, and
a good warm sweater besides.
These good old chums are not
forgotten and in his letter Jimmy
says that happy as he is and con-
tented, all that he really needs
is few good old friends, cause
they don't make the same kind of
girls in Boston as they have in
Tacoma and Seattle. 'Stoo bad,
James.

TO SING
ERLKING
CANTATA
Robert

Wednesday evening Robert
Ziegler will present the Morse can
tata, THE Erl Kings Daughter,
for the benefit of the st. Joseph
hospital fund at the Tacoma thea
ter with three of Tacomas best
known musicians singing the lead
ing roles. An orchestra OF 20
pieces under the direction OF p. ID.
Mason will furnish the accompani-
ment.
The story of the cantata is taken
from the old Morse legends about
the powerful Erl king and his
daughter, who destroyed every
thing good and beautiful that
came into their power. During the
action of the story the Fri king >
daughter succeeds In bringing
about the destruction of Olaf, a
young Morse nobleman, who, altho
warned by his mother to stay
away from the palace of the Fri
king, goes there in search of an
other wedding guest for his nup-
tials, to take place the following
morning, and brings home death,
typified by the Fri kings daugn-
ter.
Mrs. Lewis Tallman has the role
of the Fri kings daughter. Hugh
E. ,Winder sings the part of the
unhappy nobleman, Oluf, and Mrs.
Austin Wolbert is Oluf's mother.
In addition to the leading roles
there is large chorus and 10
beautiful Erl maidens who attend
the kings daughter. The chorus
