Charleston. The municipal election
being held there, the chief feature or

John p. Grace and the incumbent. r.
T. Hyde, is a matter that has created
interest throughout the state, chiefly
by reason of Mr.. Grace's reputation
as to the war with Germany, and not
because of any other interest in
Charleston. 1t may really be said
that the chief interest is a matter of

1t is commonly said that the Reforma-

VIII, but he changed very little either
in doctrine or in ceremony. What was
done in his time was to restore and to
enlarge the authority which the old
kings had in ecclesiastical matters, and
to declare that the Pope had no juris-
diction in England. Yet all through his
reign men who preached the reformed
doctrines were burned as heretics.

WHAT THE PAPER DOLLS TOLD

noLLY was a very unhappy little
girl She never liked to do the
things her Mama asked her TO. She
loved to cut out paper dolls and scatter
them all over the house. but when it
came time to gather up the scraps. Polly
was always too tired and Mama always
had to do 1t herself.
But one gloomy day Polly was very
lonesome and Mama said she might cut
out paper dolls IL she'd promise to clean
up the muss
Polly promised and Mama found her a
great big piece Of brown wrapping paper
and gave her the best pair OF scissors.
Polly amused herself cutting odt great
strings OF paper dolls all holding hands.
Some were boys and some we're little
girls. She made paper cats, paper dogs
and little paper birds. Then a strange
thing happened. The great strings Of
paper dolls came to life.
They threw their paper arms into the
air and danced over the floor in front
OF the astonished Polly. The paper cats
and paper dogs began to chase one an
other over the rugs and the paper birds
opened their paper bills and began to
sing.
Polly was delighted and clapped her
hands in glee.
81 never knew paper dolls could dance
before!' she cried.
That's your fault" laughed paper
boy who was standing near Polly.
You're like most little girls. you think
because we're paper. we've no sense at
all. You stand US up. look at us and
when you're asked to clear US up. in
stead of laying us away carefully you
cry and fuss about being tired Then
your Mama has to get down on the floor
and pick US up. I don't blame her for
throwing US in the waste paper basket"
