MANY FAIRIES IN GREEN ISLE
Idea That the Gnomes Have Dis
appeared is Declared to Be
Altogether Erroneous.

There still are fairies il Ireland, de
clares the Ulster Folklore, which ex-
plains by saying: To many, perhaps.
this statement will be really news. OF
course, anyone who has never taken
any interest in the matter at all knows
that in the days gone by there were
plenty of them from one end of the
green isle to the other-are not their
old haunts, the thorn bushes, their
raths, forts, coves and souterraines
still to be found in every corner OF
Ireland just as they have existed
since time out of mind?
But it has been the general belief
that the fairies themselves long ago,
In one fashion or another. had for
saken or been driven from their Sc
eret places, the last hegira being
placed at as modern a period as the
middle of the nineteenth century-the
night of the big wind, in fact when
they were all supposed to have been
blown into the sea with the exception
of a few that landed In Scotland.

has been scientifically ascertained in q
series of Investigations pursued by
Miss Elizabeth Andrews, f. r. A. l.,
for decade or so.
''The belief IL general" Miss An
1rews says, that these little people
were at one time very numerous
throughout the country but have now
disappeared from many of their for
ner haunts. At Ballynahinch / was
told they had been blown away 80
years ago by great storm. and the
earetaker at Killevy said they had
gone to Scotland. They are, however.
supposed still to inhabit the more re-
mote parts Of the country, and the old /
people have many stories of fairy vis-
itors and of what happened in their
own youth and In the time of their
fathers and grandfathers."

ORGAN WAS ONCE UNDER BAN
Scottish Prsseytery, less Than q Gen.
fury 49,, Declared Its Piayins
Contrary 10 Law.

The organ, ~ an addition to the
musical service In the Presby terian
church, was under q ban less than a
hundred years ago, according to 4
writer In the Manchester Guardian, re-
calling the first organ made by James
Watt. 1t was q small chamber organ.
In form like a hsrmonium. which he
built for his own use. When he moved
to Birmingham the organ was left be-
hind and came into the possession Of
the minister and session Of st. An
drew's church, Glasgow. Of which
Watt had been a member. The instru-
ment was used for weekly choir prse-
tees but was shrouded under a green
bsize cover on Sundays, as though In
disgrace. In 1906 permission to use Ii
was refused by the city council. Then
one Sunday afternoon, by pre-arrangs-
ment, the church attempted to use the
organ without the councils consent.
An organist from 4 neighboring Epis-
copal church was called In. He played
the organ while the last psalm was
sung. There was so much excitement
over the affair that n bitter contro-
versy followed. The presbytery de-
clared 1t was contrary to law and the
constitution OF the established church,
snd it was prohibited In all churches
and chspels within their bounds. Sixty
years later st. Andrews church got Its
nrst organ peaceably.

Many KINDS, AND ALL GOOD
That Would Seem to Be the Verdics
of Humanity on the Great
Question of Pies.

They were talking about pies and
discussing which was the best, ard,
what we gathered from the cheerful
controversy, all were the best.
The person who stood up for the
good old apple pie was just as eloquent
In his references TO the peach or pump
kin pie. In fact, each person would
hurry through the praise of one KIND
of pie in order TO champion another,
which convinced us that OF all the
varieties of food in this world the pie
Is the blessedest.
Sometimes you will find man who
doesn't eat pie, but watch him. Pie is
a remedy for many distempers. we
one time cured ferocious sick head
ache with a quarter of mince pie, and
that. too. on the advice of physician.
One of the party never heard of a
mulberry pie, and what a barren life
she must have led. We are through
with the cherry pie era and with what
Joy it has filed the world We come
to the berry era, and first of all there
is the huckleberry pie, which berry
has rescued from sunshine and soil all
the grace of the earth. If man does
not like huckleberry pie, it is be-
cause the pie or himself has not been
we'll made. The black raspberry pie
stands away up on the snowy peaks OF
perfection and for picnic purposes it Is
When we eat raspberry
pie in the woods we feel that the
Dryads are feeding us from their lily
white hands.
There are other glorious pies, OF
course. but we must have room to say
that the glory of pie is in the grace
and charm of the cook. The pastry
depends upon her temper, and the pas
try is three-fourths of pie. If we
were going to get married again, we
would arrange pastry con-
test, and the damsel that made the
best pastry we would marry-if we
could.-Ohio State Journal.

Cultivate Decision.

Decision is an asset to character.
When rightly exercised you know and
others know what you dare attempt.
Each new problem is met with the
spirit of decision and the result is
continued progress. This grows on
people and they learn to expect sue
cess. And that's half the battle. If
you are not sure what the future has
in store, decide to make the most of
each revelation as 1t comes. You are
just like other people II you yield TO
fear. You become leader of them
when you make every factor count for
decision and progress. The conscious
ness of your own strength will help
you and Others to right relations In

OFFICIAL GIVES LIE ID REPORT IF HIGH
 PRICE IN LAND DEAL

The "short and ugly word" was used by Andrew Baumert, chairman of the former commission for state institu- tions and citizen member of the board of directors that succeeded that body, in discussing the reports alleged to be in circulation that the state had paid $6O0O for two lots for warehouse for the highway department.
 What we did, said Mir Baumert, was to buy IT lots for s6000, the big gest piece of suitable property we could get for the lowest bid. The intention of the commission to buy some prop erty for the purposes of a storage yard and warehouse was advertised six times in the Republican and Gazette. Six bids were received, and the one accepted was the lowest on available property. Only one other plot was of fered at near this price, at S6500, but we could not purchase it for the req son that it was in a residence district and the city would not issue a permit to build a warehouse on it. Other bids ranged up to $7200, and we selected the plot that would best serve the pur- pose from the standpoint of accessi- bility, railroad service and ease of i'm provement
 We are not interested in who owned the property prior to the state or prior to the parties from whom the state purchased it.

bers of the Arizona corporation con- mission were very much gratified to. receive a copy of a recent decision of the Michigan supreme court on the matter of stock sales without a per init, an issue that has been a bone of contention in this state. In the case of W. S. Edward versus Walter Ioor the National Piano Company, an Ari
 zona corporation. and others. the court halds that stock may not be sold
 in Michigan without a permit, under a law very similar to the Arizona statute, and defines sale as a transfer for any valuable consideration. In this specific case the sale was an exchange # stock. After the exchange, the plaintiff demanded the return of his original stock and was denied, and the count holds the defendants re- sponsible for its value on the ground that the stock they issued in exchange in the Arizona corporation was not sold under a permit in Michigan.
