pie coming to- the house, people with
suitcaseS and bags. There seemed to
be great excitement and everybody
seemed to be smiling.
1t was very hard to be little bird,
the birds thought, and not to feel like
smiling.
But at last they went to sleep.
81 don't feel like chirping today"
said one of them, early the next morn
ing. 81 don't feel very happy that my
friends In the white house have for
gotten about me-"
"Oh, cheer up, something must have
happened" said another little bird. 81
still can't believe it possible that they
have forgotten us. But we did have
a bad day or so, it is true. SO cold,
und a little hungry"
"Well, I'll chlrp," said the first bird.
And all the birds began to chirp and
Mr.. Sun rose up in bright red robe
and said:
IT'S Christmas morning, birdlings;
how do you like my handsome robe?
I'm all dressed up for the occasion"
But just then lady came out Of the
big house, the lady who was the spe-
cIal friend of the birds.
Merry, merry Christmas, brides"
she said. 81 had almost forgotten
about you All the children are home
for the Christmas holidays and there
has been great excitement. We've
been decorating and having everything
look gay inside.
"Oh, 1 didn't mean to forget you,
brides. l feel so bad"
They were given fresh suet and nice
bread crumbs, and some cake crumbs,
too.
merry, merry Christmas" said the
lady.
Merry, merry Christmas chirped
the brides, so the lady said, but they
were really thanking her, and in their
little hearts felt so glad that the one
! they had trusted and loved had not
failed theml

1t had showed great deal during the
last few days and getting enough to
eat had been no easy matter
Near by they saw white house.
There was Il garden around it; n nice
big garden and just the place for birds
in the summer time.
But these birds were here in the win
ter time, too, and they were given
bread crumbs and suet all winter long
When snow covered the suet 1t was
brushed off for them.
1t was all very delightful. The last
few days, however, had seemed to be
very busy ones in the white house.
The birds could see that greens were
being hung everywhere, over the pic
lures, book cases and mirrors, and
wreaths were put in all the windows.
Preparations were evidently being
made for some unusual event.
There seemed to be no end to the
amount of greens. Some were wound
to look like long ropes and great
branches were put behind large pic
lures. The house was gay indeed with
fires, which were burning in all the
fireplaces.
Much wood was carried in, and the
birds thought how warm the people in
side must be, and how cold 1t was
outside. They shvered and wished
they had gone South after all.
Then little tree was carried in,
and one Of the birds that was near the !
dining room told the others that the
tree was put on the dining room table.
Another medium sized tree was in the !
big room, where most of the excite !
ment seemed to be going on. Then
they hung pretty shiny and simmer
ing things on the tree and packages
OF all sizes and description under it.
Had their friends forgotten them?
1t could not be possible! And yet
hadn't had any suet in the
last day or so, and they had always |,
been supplied with 1t before. They
had stayed North because these people
loved birds so.
They knew that they loved birds be-
cause they were good to the little J,
feathered people. But the last day or
so-well, 1t was all very surprising.
The birds were just going to sleep,
Just about to tuck their heads under
their wings, when they saw more peO-

I-I-R-P," said one little
bird, and another bird
sang a song.
1t was very, very
cold, and the birds
were having a hard
time to keep warm.
Somehow, too, they
felt the cold more
when they were hun
cry. They hadn't had
such very good luck that

MAySvILLE AGAIN
PROMISED EXTRA
COACHES TUESDAY
Order Cancelling Two Extra Coaches
For Inaugural Crowd Is Rescinded
Band Goes on Train-Man-
ager Now In Frankfort.

Tuesday Governor-elect Edwin p.
Morrow will be sworn into Office and
will become the State of Kentucky's
Chief Executive for a term Of four
years. Many local admirers Of Gov
ernor Morrow will be In attendance at
the Inauguration and the famous
Maysville Boys Band will lead the In
augural parade through the streets of
the capital city.
Because Of the fuel shortage, the To-
cal Republican leaders have had much
trouble in providing means of maxi
ing the trip to Frankfort. At first a
special train was promised by the L.
& N. railroad company but this was
cancelled. Then two extra coaches
were promised for the regular morn
ing train but on Saturday these were
cancelled. On Sunday, however, Man
ager ]. Barbour Russell took the mat
ter up with superintendent Bush and
1t was finally ordered that the two
coaches will be allowed to Maysville
and Mason county. These coaches Will
be added to the regular Tuesday morn
ing train leaving here at $3.50 and
will arrive in Frankfort at 1912 in
time for the Inaugural parade.
The Maysville Boys Band will go on
this train all arrangements now hav-
ing been made. Col. j. Barbour Rus
sell, his wife and son, left this after
noon for Frankfort in their automo-
bile. Mr.. Russell will make all ar
rangements for the band prior to their
arrival in Frankfort and will meet
them at the train Tuesday morning.
The train returning will leave
Frankfort at 4:16 o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon arriving in Maysville about
$3.50 p. m.
Every arrangement for the care of
the band members while in Frankfort
has been carefully made and 1t Is ex-
pected that all the plans will work
out nicely.
Because of the addition Of the two
extra coaches on the Tuesday morn
ing train 1t is expected that many
Maysville and Mason county people
will attend who could not make the
trip in automobiles. Persons planning
to make the trip should be on hand
early Tuesday morning in order to get
a seat.

"RlNG" ECLIPSE OF
THE SUN DUE TO OCCUR ON
NOVEMBER 20, 1919.

The unusual phenomenon Of an an
nular,s or ring eclipse, will be Wis
ible in the United States on the morn
ing of November %, 1919. The CEN
trail path Of the eclipse extends from
the vicinity of Timbuktu, Africa,

tives Of the African jungle will behold
the sun going below the horizon as

When the moon passes directly
across the face Of the sun as seen

The moons distance is such that the
planet ordinarily appears about as
large as the sun. 100000 miles
away. But for this remarkable cir
cumstance we would never see the

sweeps Over One Block and DESTROYS
Five Houses and a Bakery-Loss
Placed at ,ooo-school House
Smoking at Times, But Hard
Work by Fireman Saves It
From Serious Damage

St. Petersburg, Nov. 6.-Fire which
started in a Greek rooming house, on
Hyblscus street in Tarpon Springs,
Monday morning about 8 o'clock, de-
stroyed six buildings and for a time
threatened the entire city. The loss
is estimated at $4,000 fully covered
by insurance. One block Of buildings
was burned and the fire for a time
threatened the fine school building.
The school was smoking several
times, but the firemen, assisted by
many volunteers, managed to prevent
the school getting ablaze. No one
was injured in the fire, though 1t
started in the early morning hours.
The fire destroyed three Greek
rooming houses and two residences
owned and occupied by Greeks, on
HIBISCUS and Eagle streets. The fire
made clean sweep from Clayton's
garage to the school building. The
only American to suffer loss from the
fire was G. P. Evans, owner Of bak
cry which was burned.
