\ legend From Dixie's Land.

n i-cRCllu
Many years ago there lived at a
swamp's edge a tiny fairy who occu-
pied her time in spinning. and made
the most beautiful, delicate fabrics
imaginable. Her wheel whirled so fast
that it was but blur, such as a fly s
wings make when he is entangled in
a flower. and her spindle was the sting
of a Bundle Bee. her uncle. who had
left it to her for any good use. to
make up for a life SO grouchy that
none of the other creatures would have
anything to do with him.
still. one inhabitant of the swamp
was worse than the Bee and the
Fairy was nightly disturbed when she
| discovered that he had taken up his
abode on the very next bush. He was
an enormous spider. big as a bird.
and hideously gorgeous with red, blue
and yellow. He was proud of himself
as a spinner. too. but when he saw
/weaving. he realized that his own art
was cheap and poor in comparison.
| and he was jealous and determined to
! destroy her at once.
She caught up her spindle and ran.
with the Spider in pursuit. She asked
| the Mouse for shelter. but he was
afraid of the Spider and shut the door.

They soon reached a bush that bore
handsome pink blossom. Jump
into the flower!' commanded the
FREELY. still clutching her wheel. the
Fairy put her last strength into
spring and alighted in the heart of the
blossom.
The Spider was close upon her, but
as he put his ugly claw on the lower
petal to draw himself up after her,
she gave him such a stab in the leg
with her spindle that he lost his hold
and fell to the ground. In another
second the flower closed over the
Fairy. gathering its petals so tightly
that the Spider could not get in He
wove his wen about it, believing he
would catch ner when she ventured
out in the morning But when MORN
ing came she did not appear. The
Spider kept watch. but finally the
petals dropped to the earth. and when
he saw no Fairy he was so angry that
he bit his own body and died from
his own poison.
But the Fairy was not dead. She
remained Struggled in the little ball
that the plant put out behind the
blossom. and in a few days the ball
opened. and all the beautiful fabrics
she had been spinning while in hid

5. The obstinate impertinence OF
kings and people, against the mean
ings of the prophets.
Amos r. Wells has written a little
character sketch poem of Josiah that
SO well describes the thought Of the
lesson that 1 quote it in full.
II all were like Josiah,
That young and righteous king,
The world would have no idols,
Or other evil thing.
Saloons and gambling houses,
And all such dens those,
If men were like Josiah,
Would soon be forced to close.
If all were like Josiah
Men, women, girls and boys.
The world would choose the purest,
And not the doubtful joys.
The right sports would be chosen,
The best things would be bought,
If ali were like Josiah
And sought the things he sought.
If all were like Josiah,
And cared for Gods renown.
Gods house would be the largest
And best in every town.
Its walls would rise in beauty.
Its windows shine with cheer,
If all men with Josiah.
Held dear what he held dear.
II all were like Josiah
And all like him might be
Gods love would fill the nations
AS waters fill the sea.
Gods praise would sound from mortals
AS from the Seraphm,
If all were like Josiah.
. And all NAV be like him.

TOpekan Gives Facts About
Suffering in Bible Lands.
II. A. Maynard Has Seen COnd1-
tiOns at Their Worst.
RELIEF IS NEEDED At ONCE
ArmenianS Suffer Mostly Be-
cause of Lack of Food.
Arabs Have Treated Helpless
Children Most Savagely.

Harrison A. Maynard, 1927 Lane
street, Topeka. has been two years in
Syrian, Armenian and Jewish relief
V ork in the near east. Probably the
most touching stories of first hand
observation by Kansan of hunger,
misery and sickness among the suf-
ferihg people of the Bible lands has
been told by Maynard in letters to
his wife. Maynard say the results
of the persecution of women and chill
dren by the Turks and observed the
theft of needed food stuffs by the
Germans.
In letters which he sent to his wife,
Maynard told a running story OF
scenes of persecution, starvation, suf-
fering and death. After being COM
PEELED to leave the Caucasus, the To-
pekan went to Mesopotamia via JAPAN
China and India. He spent two years
in the work and his letters and cables
have unfolded to America something

a picture seen by every worker.
Relief Needed At Once.
In support of the present campaign
a thirty million dollar re11et runo
from America, Maynard recently ca
bled relief headquarters in New York
telling of the need for haste and an
oversubscription of thefund.~ His APP
peal came from the heart of man
who had seen the piteous, appealing
faces of starving children and who
had heard men and women ask for
crust that could not be given be-
cause there was no money with which
to buy.
AT a home for Armenian women,
MAYNARD said in one letter to his
wife, Il saw today two Bitlis women.

There are two tent hospitals for the

are.
Illness is chiefly the result of lack
