WIND BLEW BOYS HAT
OFF JUST IN TIME TO
SAVE HIM FROM DEATH

The Ocala Evening Star of the
10Th inst. records the following:
can unusual occurrence took place
near Blitchton Sunday. Tom Ed
wards, colored man, had his horse
tied under tree a short distance
from his home, when a storm came
up. Toms boy went to bring the
horse in and was near the animal
when the wind blew his hat off and
sent it spinning along the ground.
The boy turned and ran after his hat
and had gone but few yards when a
thunderbolt struck the horse and
killed him. If the boy hadn't been
running after his hat when the light
ming struck, he would have been un-
tying the horse and almost certainly
Killed. Strange to say, the tree the
horse was tied to was not touched
by the electric fluid"

Dolly didn't care much about ,oo,,
lis a. anything as ugly as the cater
pillar but she had learned that orv
9ue0r Vhihgs might happen in the
magic dewdrops and so she stood still,
and looked.
Inc caterpillar crawled into the

way and then he wrapped the leaf

HE is kind of mummy" said the
falry that is called a cocoon The
caterpillar really stays in it a lone
time, but in this magic dewdrop YOU
will see him come out soon if YOU
watch"
sure enough it seemed only a mo
ment when the end of the cocoon be
gan to split. Dolly saw it SLOWLY
open. She watched to see the cater
pillar come out But what do vou
think? 1t wasn't a caterpillar that
came out at ALT was q butterfly
Its wings were painted tie most beau
tiful colors-dark red and brown. with
purple spots. The edges were kind
Of silver.
"Oh, how did the butterfly get into
that-that without my seeing
him?' cried Dolly
"You saw him go in," said the
Fairy.
You don't mean that the caterpil
lar changed himself after he wrapped
himself up like that?"
Eyes, something like that hap
pened."
But how could he? do not SCI
how he could do that"
How does the inside of the eg(

does the acorn change into the oak

the Fairy.

uses had broken away from its stem
and was flying around. 1t futtered
about the honeysuckle and at last
settled on one of the sweet blossoms
Dolly came quite near. She could see
that the butterfly had a long, slender
tube where his nose would have
been, if he had a nose. It was some
thing like an elephants trunk, only
not much larger than a hair. The
butterfly stuck this down into the long
part of the honeysuckle blossoms. He
seemed to be sucking something up
through it. He appeared to be en-
toying it very much. His wings on
ened and shut as if he were clappine

Dolly.
"He is getting his breakfast said
small voice near her; ''and a very
good breakfast it is, too"
By this time Dolly was quite used
to having her questions answered all
most before she could ask them. She
was sure there must be Fairy near,
though she could not see one.
Look up above your head" said
the small voice.
Dolly looked up and there, sitting
on the edge of a leaf, with her tinv
feet hanging over, was one of the
prettiest fairies she had seen. This
one wore sort of dream colorad
dress with trimmings of darker

What does the butterfly get out Of
the flower?' she asked.
He gets honey, my dear-tha
sweetest and best honey in the world
He reaches way down into the BIOS

love it. Look how he is waving his
wings because he is having such a
good time
But where do the butterflies come
from?' asked the little girl, 81 have
looked and looked, and | can't find
their nests anywhere, nor any bush
for them to grow on. Do they come
down out of the clouds?'

Most Amazing Problems
In Nomenclature Found
coating INF. Fliver Of Alabama.

Failure to locate the sought for
party brought the comment "a FLYER
is Ford" from one girl worker.
I'm going to look up the Fords' in
the file" She looked, and there he
was-"Charles E. Ford, Pushmataha,
Alabama" right where she should be,
in the card index of the Fords.
A Sherlock Holmes in Blue Sweater
"You see that girl wearing the blue
sweater over there" said one young
woman. The girl of the blue sweater
appeared so young she might have
just left school. She was searching
some index cards, her fingers rapidly
running from one to another. With
each flap of the card she had taken
a mental note of the inscription
thereon, but to the observer she was
making a speed record in touching
every card in the file drawer.
Suddenly-Bang! The drawer was
closed She moved a foot to the
right, began another Marathon in
card movements, selected one, made
notation on a slip of paper she car
ried, placed the card among the 9TH
ers, closed the drawer, and walked
toward the man who is in charge of
the file section.
This pautomine was quickly enact
ed, and as it turned out it brought to
a close a remarkable case which had
been under investigation for some
days.
"That girl is working upon mys-
terry" continued the speaker, "If she
puzzles it out, she is a wonder"
The blue sweater passed nearby.
The flush Of success was visibly ap-
parent upon the girls face.

woman
EYES," she replied simply, and con-
tinued along the huge file cabinets.
The title of this strange case might
be the "Divis mystery" with Miss
Blue Sweater as the detective rer-
oine.
A typewriter letter was received
by the bureau from an army camp,
and ended as follows
Respectfully,
private Divis Spruce,
Hastings, Pa"
, Miss Blue Sweater was assigned to
the letter with information to secure
the mans policy number that certain
information requested as to the
standing of his insurance might be
: furnished him.
, The name of Divis Srpuce could
not be found in the files. Then came
/ the time for imagination and deduc-
) ton. No matter how the name was
, split to make some other plausible
name the files could not produce re-
/ suits.
. This did not put an end to the
i. search by any means. Imagination
: and deduction again were brought
into the case, and further study OF
: the original letter was made.
