Billie Brownie and Bonnie Brownie
set to work aided by all the other
brownies What time they had.
what a time! For they had such a
little while in which to get ready that
they fell over each other and hurried,
scurried about.
But they were ready when after.
noon came. They had made a beau.
tiful snow fort. There were large
and lovely rooms with snow sofas and
snow cushions in which the ladies'
were supposed to take off their capes
and bonnets, IL they wanted to take
them Off. OF course no one did, but
1t was to make the show fort especial
ly lovely, for 1t wasn't only a snow
fort. Attached to the fort with a lit.
tie passage made in great bank Of
snow there was lovely house.
The fort was made like all forts
but inside along with number Of
soft snow.balls ready for a SNOWFALL
fight to finish the afternoons enter
tainment, there were long snow tables
upon which were great dishes filed
with goodies to eat and goodies to
drink.
They hadn't known Just how they
could arrange to keep things hot on
cold snOwl So Billie Brownie had
sent a very small brother Of his to
see the Fairy Queen.
He had asked her If she would come
for moment and wave her magic
wand so such thing could be.
SO everything was settled and ready
when all the guests arrived
Billie Brownie and Bonnie Brownie
had any number of plans and schemes
arranged. There were games and
there were Jokes and there were puz.
zles aud there were prizes for every.
thing, little prizes made out Of snow
OF course 1t was more for the idea
Of having prizes than anything else
for they were all simple, but they
were most beautifully made and every
one loved them.
At last, just before II was time for
the party to be over, as the guests
had all eaten Of the delicious meal
which had been prepared, along came
a lovely creature wearing a white
mantle Of snow which was covered
with jewels she had been given by the
jewelers. Sun and Snow.
At first they didn't recognize her.
And then all at once, everyone
shouted, "Why, It's the Fairy Won

Little Stories
Of The Town

warrant which. it developed after the storm had quieted, they wanted the sheriff to serve immediately. Both women tried to talk at once, while the poor sheriff. with his mouth full of pie, was unable to say a word
 At the apparent delay of the officer. the ladies became more excited and disturbed the calm demeanor of the sheriff, who started to wave the pie about in lieu of talking. The pie. not being made to withstand such treat ment, began to run through the sher ifs fingers, and while the women talked, the sheriff juggled the pie in an effort to save the part that was es- caping.
 Finally the women ran down as it were and peace reigned supreme for all but the sheriff who was still jug gling the pie. By this time he had managed to swallow the bite he hal taken and then disposed of the re mainder of the pie in the waste basket Not till then did it develop that the man wanted was about to take a train and the women merely wanted the warrant served before he left town.
 A Little Joke
 This is not a story at all. really: 1t is what most people refer to as joke But anyway. it's too good to keep. ac- cording to the man who first heard 1t, and who insisted on telling it to a re- porter.
 A little girl, age about II, came home from school one day recently and, after eating her dinner in a curious state or preoccupation. frightened up wonderfully as she turned to her big sister and said:
 Sister why is our room at school like d Ford?"
 The sister drought long time, but failed to see the light. Neither did other members of the family. At last the little girl explained:

The Fountain of><,outh'

Phoenix fountain of youth which only began to flow last year, l@ a veri- table godsend to the new arrivals in the city.
 Few other cities afford drinking water as rich in salt and alkali as that which springs from local soil, and as a consequence it is almost always a distasteful struggle for newcomers to get used to such a beverage. But here is where the fountain of youth comes in to the rescue of thirsty visitors. This water, which flows of it's own accord from the lower and thus far uneX- plored regions, is almost entirely free from foreign substance of an alkaline nature and it is therefore particularly regarded by those who desire their water free from any disturbing ele- ments.
 That the fountain is not unknown to the public is evidenced by the large number who visit it daily to fill jugs and demi-johns that mayhap in a more primitive day held something en- tirely different in the line of thirst allaying distillations.
 At all times during the day may be seen the little group of pilgrims who come to this only known artisan well which is harnessed to serve as a pub lie drinking fountain in the heart of city.
 In the old days when the inhabitants were glad to get any kind of clean water to drink. a well was drilled on the site of the present courthouse front yard. This hole failed to give up the precious water at the time. so the pipe was capped and the fruitless at tempt soon was buried under more inn portant matters
 About a year ago it was discovered that an underground stream of pure water had in some manner connected with the old bore, and when the rusted cap was removed from the upper end of the pipe a small but steady flow oi water isseued forth. After it was made sure that the flow was likely to con tinue, an ornamental cement fountain was constructed and the flowing stream was lead tn ough two sanitary drinking fountains. Later when the 1 popularity of the fountain had in i creased it's scope, an additional outle- was installed which allowed of the water to be directed into receptacles which might be carried to the homes of those who wished to use larger quantities of the youth giving sub- stance
 This Must Have Looked Like Comedy But for a piece of lemon pie, and two very excited women with a war rant for the arrest of the husband oi one on a charge of failure to provide for her. this story would never have been written. The combination came near resulting in a riot in the sheriffs office
 One night while the prisoners in the county jail were being dined, one of the trusties presented Sheriff Mont gomery with a very juicy piece oi lemon pie. The sheriff is a lover of that brand of pie and settled back comfortably in a chair to enjoy the treat.
 He had taken one bite. a large one too, when two very excited women rushed into the office brandishing the
