 hole, for so big fly as she to get through think that end must have
 been made Of elastic.
 l suppose that that is the end the
 Wandering Fairy will commence to
 unwind the silk. when she gets ready
 to make quilts out of it. People when they go to make silk first put the acocoons in hot steam so often the wax
 with which it is fastened together and thus kill the worm, but the fairy is too tender-hearted for that She is even too honest to take the silk before the little owner gets through with it.
 The Death of the Wandering Fairy
 Rev. W. B. Harper, who lives in the Parker settlement, on R.. F D. No. 4.
 Little Rock, gave me a nice little
 stone coffin It is just two inches long and three-quarters of an inch wide at the widest part, where the fairies turned it back in opening it. As sealed up it was only tiny frac- ton over half an inch wide. It is made of white rock so very hard that had to file and file on it to tell whether it was a rock or some kind of metal. It is so very strong that though it had lain in an old field where men had farmed and stock had grazed and worked for a hundred years and though blows and hoes had often hit it and horses and cattle stepped on it many times nothing could break it. It was a million years ago when she was buried in it, but it is just as good as new excepting where the fairies opened it to let the Wan dering Fairy out That was her resur- rection, and it is all too long a story for me to write in this article, so will have to finish it some other time.
 l spent last Thursday night with MT. Harper and his family He is an old Methodist preacher and is a nephew of Mir. Winkler of Ebenezer. He was born in Pulaski County and has been preaching wherever he found opportu- mites since leaving the circuit a mum Der of years ago A few years ago he preached on the Big Maumelle Cir cult He has only one child at home Miss Fannie, who is very charming little school-marm. 1 appointed her year ago editor for Parker's settle ment, since when we have been re- ceiving occasionally the most charm ing letters from there. 1 think they were about the very best letters com ing to the Pulaskian, but when com plimented her on them. she informed me she had turned the job over to Miss Viola Orendorff, one of her scholars, and that she was the one to receive the compliments. I had made up my mind that she would make a fine as sistant editor for the fairy tales, but there is no chance, for Miss Orendorff, after teaching school last winter, came home and married L. M Grogan, April 10th. Mrs. Grogan has not only agreed to continue as editor, but has prom ised to write more frequently in the future
 Mrs. Harper gave me a nice pretty oblong rock. On each side is brown chocolate-colored spot, giving it some what the appearance of cameo Miss Fannie gave me an arrowhead and has promised me more.
 Miss Myrtle Smith, our Ivy Chapel editor, gave me a pretty prism, which one can look into Santa Claus land. When you look through it you can see a whole forest of Christ mas trees all decorated with pretty colored lights and other beautiful things. I stepped out on my porch just now and looked at my shack The cornice was painted the most beautiful rainbow colors. They ran in parallel lines the whole length of it and there was a rainbow extending from the east to one corner of the house and it was beautiful, pertect-colored one, too. wonder if there is a pot of gold in my house at the end of it? l have always heard there was a pot of gold at the rainbow's end
 Everett Dondham gave me an ar rowhead and an ostrich foot, which can stand alone. It looks like black melted glass He found it in his grandfather's field. His mother is widow and keeps house for his grand father, Bennett. ate dinner there and enjoyed the fine country smoked ham and other good things to the limit. Over in this country I have been getting the best home-cured ham to eat nearly every place I went.
