The Fairy Boat.
y Adele F. Woodland, President Ma
 tional Motion Picture League.

By Adele F. Woodard, President Ns-l
 tionai Motion Picture League
 Once upon a time Love-FAry went "a live. in the heart of great pink Briar Rose, and oh, how she elioyeI this beautiful home with the sweet fragrance of the rose about her. Here I shall live always, I shall never leave this beautiful home" said she.
 All went well for a wh..e. but one morning the little fairy stretched and yawned and finally she signed Oh, dear. how tiresoAne it is to say tt home and do nothingl l must find something 10 dor
 She decided to go out at once As she climbed down the thorny stem of he- home she noticed that it ha been ram ing during the nigat. T1e grouad was coeyred in patches with pud1les of VA ter like fairy lakes and she noticed that right in the centre of one, little ant mouse had been foodedl Quantities of mother ants and father ants and little baby ants were trying thei. b:st to swim ashore.
 Love-Fairy stood watching the ants and wondering what she eou.d llo t2 help them, when she heard a faiut voies call ing to her. It was Briar-lso$sl '' Take this petal of mine" she said .s sae lTep- ped a beautiful great pink one, and put it on the water like little boat. then get into it and sail out and rescue the ant families" Love-Fairy was delighted with the idea and she son foun1 hersel. sailing out on the fairy lakei The weary ants soon forgot their fright and oag- erly climbed into the boat.
 When they all came to shore, all thC big ants scrambled out and soon began to build another house. But the baby ants remained in the boat, sailing ovei the blue water, for the good fairy hat spread, her rainbow-colored wings fo, sails. And finally, after MT. Sun haS dried the puddle, so that there was non, of it left, the baby ants found their new home all ready for them. Imagine how glad they were to sTfuggle down in thei little beds and sleep that night
 Then Loye-Fairy carried the beautiful rose petal hack to Briar-Rose and, al she fastened it in place with her fair. wax, she said, What beautiful hom I have to come to, and what a happ! day I have had!'

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
COMMODORE PERRY's VISIT
 IAPAN


 JAPAN
 One of the most interesting internation- al visits ever made by this country to a foreign power was when Commodore Per ", in 1852, visited Japan on the steam ship Mississippi. The object of the visit was to open the doors of the Oriental country to Americans and to encourage commercial intercourse between the two nations.
 Previous efforts of like character were unsuccessful, and when the govern-1 ment finally decided to dispatch the ex- petition under Commodore Perry, in or der to impress, the Japanese with the se= rious character of the movement, the fleet dispatched was composed of some of the finest and most formidable in the Ameri- ican navy.
 With this splendid display of naval DOW CT, Commodore Perry left the United States November "A, 1852 and. stopping at several points en route, he reached Hong Kong in April 1853, and thence sailed for Japan. After meeting all the vessels of the squadron, Perry leading the fleet in the flagship Susquehanpa. made Cape Idzu on the Sth of July. Their first anchorage was at Uraga on the l4th where a reception was held on shore, and Prince Iwamf was given charge of the Presidents letter to the Emperor.
 This letter was written by Hon Edward Everett, Secretary of State, and signed by President Fillmore, was beautifully engressed on parchment and deposited Tn gold mounted box of superb werkmanship and costing one thousand dollarss. The letter was couched in a most friendly spirit.
 In short time the squadron, which con i sisted of nine vessels, anchored off Yoko- l hama and Perry's negotiations with the i five commissioners appointed by Japan te l deal with his proposals for open ports 1T | that country, and the right to trade there
 therein, began on March s, 1854. The l Japanese were extremely wary ant
 adopted many subtle pretexts to spin ou the proceedings and try the patience O
 the sailor lnegotiator.
 Yet for twenty-three days Perry me
 the commissioners point to point wit
 complete mastery of himself and with : skill that at times bafaed the adroit Ori ental princes When the negotiation
 reached point where some progress wa to be noted Perry arranged an enter tainment for the Japanese on board tn i Powhatan, then his flagship, where a din
 ner was spread for seventy guests. . The banquet was a great success, Per " also showed his skill by landing g this point the presents brought from tn , United States for the Japanese. These 1T l cluded a telegraph outfit, a daguereotyE camera and a miniature steam engin ear and rails 10 be laid in a circle. IT I telegraph and railroad were set up an f delighted the Orientals.

DON'T BE BALD
How to Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick
 and LustrOns.

Few Of us get bald in day. and we all have ample warning when our hair II thinning out.
 Partisan sage is a most efficient hair invigorator, but to quickly stop any fur ther loss of hair and promote a new growth it must be rubbed into the scalp so the starved hair roots can really ah- sorb it and get the vital stimulation so badly needed.
 You will surely be delighted with the first application, for your hair and scalp should look and feel 100 per cent better.
 Parisian sage is not expensive It's scientific preparation that supplies hair needs-a clean. non-sticky, antiscptic liquid that is sold by Lee & osgood and at good drug stores everywhere with guarantee to give you perfect satisfaction or money refunded
 Good looking hair is half the battle in any mans or woman's personal appear ance. Neglect means dull, tain. desd-look- ing hair, and finally baldpess. while little attention now should insure thick and lustrous hair for years to come.
 No matter what your hair troubles. try A Parisian sage massage tonight-you will not be disappointed.
