TOMAS AND THE KING.

Tomas is a stupid boy; he can do
nothing but rake ashes, said the lad 8
mother one day as her husband entered
the cottage door.
Tomas must go to work. If he can
do nothing more, let him weed the garden
and feed the pigs, said his father.
81 am. not idle" said Tomas, nslng
in his own defense. ~ am at work. see
many things which could be done better
my way than yours. But you will not let
me try.
''Hol you call that work, to sit all
day with paper and pencil figuring?
said the husband. 81 want you to go at
labor in the fields and leave your books
alone. They are only an excuse for your
stupidity"
Tomas made no answer. He went slow
ly down the road to hear the news from
court, for he saw "A crowd around a roya
herald who stood on the village green +.
The herald announced that the King was
to choose a son-in-law for his daughter, /,
whom he wished to marry within year .
But all those applying must stand a
test of which they would know nothing
beforehand, and if they lost in not an
swering the requirements, they would be
executed.

said Tomas at supper that might. Il

The test was that each man who applied
must be able to speak six languages and
recte the history of the King S reign back

course he was placed In prison
There he sat gl0omlly thinking how
10 escape paying the penalty of his life
Every morning the Princess came by his
door. and they soon became acquainted
though managing to keep the fact from
the King.
One noon the King. himself, opened
the prison door. ut is my rule. he said !,
that each one who Is 10 die can have three
wishes-only they must not in any Of
them ask for their own life.
Il am very willing To accept this offer,
said Tomas. "But as am known through
surprised at what say, know your royal
word viii be kept"
Tomas heard outside the gentle step
of the Princess.
My first wish, Your Majesty" said
Tomas, lis to have the Princess for my
wife"
The King sprang to his feet with anger,
but he knew he must keep his word, so
the wedding was ordered to take place 1T
sunset.
My next wish, continued Tomas,
lis to have as my own one-hah Of your
treasure kept IN your strong boxes.
Again the King WAS angry but remember
ing that kings had To keep Their word he
had the gold brought 20 the lad in prison.
My last wish Is this, spoke Tomas,
plainly, that every man IN the king
dom who cannot speak SIX languages
and recite the history of the Kings reig
backward be put to death at the same

The King almost tainted. the Cham
berlain took to his heels, and every lord
present grew pale with fear-for not a
soul IN the kingdom could do that thing
which Tomas well knew.
After tramping furiousiy up and down
the floor the KING stopped before the lad

boy. grant you your life, for If granted

son-m-law. You shall have the Princess,
half of my treasure, and your lde IS a

That night Tomas, after dressing for
the marriage, sent for his parents, who
were ignorant OF his good fortune. But
when they saw him welded TO the Prin-
cess and knew that be was indeed theKngs

UNUSUAL PROFESSIONS.

= A thing begun rs hobby sometimes
turns out to be commercially successful.
This is the case with tho famous doll
houses made by woman, first as gilt
to little girls Of her acquainiarce, ana
later for n well-known dealer IN toys:
These houses are constructed according
to designs furnished by the woman, who
made the first one out of n couple of orange
boxes. She now has cabinet maker to
do the main work Of construction md then
she takes the houses over and furnishes
and decorates them herself They are
five-room houses, with hall on the lower
floor. and all the details are exquisitely
finished. Little lamps adorn the living
room, there is piano carved out OF
single piece Of wood, there are lovely
little chairs, the hangirgs and walls
harmonize, In fact the houses are real
models of charming furnishing and color
design. The kitchen is truly kitchen,
the bed room and the dining room arc
perfect. 1t is fairy flight of stars that
leads from the lower to the upper fioor,
and to the dainty dressing room. :.
OF course an immense amount OF hand
work goes into toy of this sort and the
price charged Is oorrespondingiy large.
But there are plenty of people who are
willing 10 pay it-far more than there
are ho,,ses 10 fill the demand.
Handmade toys are becoming extreme
" popular, and for woman who has m
genuity and who can "make things there
is real chance in this line. She had better
get into touch with reputable dealer,
submitting her designs to him, for lnspec-
ton before making any contracts with
helpers IL is better To go slowly IN the be-
ginning, but an original toy is tremen-
dotisly sought after, and anything that
shows appreciation for the child's point
of view is sure to get recognition.
The particular dealer who handles
these wonderful houses happens also to
be a woman. 1t seems right that toys
should be the business of women rather
than men, and it still remains for some
women to inaugurate the perfect toyshop,
tho true fairyland for children, ard in
cidentally TO make nice little fortune
doing it.

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE
Dear Tessie:

Dear IesSle:
Everybody IN this neck of the woods
seems TO belong to that class Of people
that will try anything once, but who
knows when they've had enough, and as
they all seem to Of tried Daisy Canned
Soups once, the result is by no manners
of means an occasion Of rejoicing as far
as / am concerned Personally, I'm broad
minded TO a fault, so that's why | hate
tofind myself amongst a lot of ignorant
ginks SO narrow minded that they wont
give ambitious can of soup another
chance.
Maybe If ] could get in touch with that
doctor that's been making old people
step lively by stufing them with monkey
glands he might give me an In lection that
would fill me with enough pep TO sell a
few cases Of ID. c. Soups in spite Of all
efforts to the contrary Have you heard
about that bird. Tessie7 Science is
wonderful thing. IL makes us live longer
and at the same time we're rushing so
fast to keep up with it that life would
probably seem much longer if we were
back in the old days when electricity
knew its place and stayed up In the
lightning instead Of lowering its dignity
by making telephone bells ring
And by the way, if that monkey gland
doctor can make old men Of 90 feel like
taking dancing lessons ] guess if he gave
the treatment to a baby the poor child
would turn into butterfly. But all jokes
aside, Tessie, hope you're not rushing
the baby off to the doctor for every little
thing. Doctors have to live, Of course,
but so do babies.
It's my opinion. Tessie that babies very
rarely get their little parts twisted so
bad that good long sleep wont fix them
up as good as new I've always been a
great believer in plenty Of sleep and /
distrust these birds that tell me five or
six hours sleep is enough for them. /
don't see how any man can sleep less than
eight full hours and still be honest Per
sonally. know when ! don't get my full
nights rest I'm mean enough TO commit
perjury and then lie out Of it.
Sleep is one Of the two great blessings
of mankind, Tessie, and the other is
food
All,
Joe
