QUEEN CHOSE PEASANT MATE
One of the Favorite Stories OF the
Many Found in Folklore OF
, Bohemia.

Bohemian folklore contains many,
interesting and inspiring stories,
but all of them express the national
feeling and the aspirations Of sub
ject people for independence. Now
that the World war established
CzechOslovakiu as a free state, the
national consciousness has redoubled
the interest in Bohemian history and
fiction.
A favorite story is of the Princess
Libussa, youngest and wisest of Prince
Krok's three daughters. She was in
teligent,, with perfect morals and ac-
tive in deeds for the welfare of her
people. Endowed as a seeress, the
people chose her, to be their ruler.
Libussa in return asked the people to
choose their king. They waived this
privilege, and the queen sent them far
away to find young peasant, who
would be blowing in a field with two
oxen, whose spots the queen described.
The messengers brought back this man
and he became king.
Iosetnef LlDusSa anu her husDalu
founded Prague (Praha), the queen
prophesying the city would become
world famous. The peasant king de-
fined it's limits by throwing up fur
row with his pillow. His shoes were
worn by kings for generations as a
pledge that they would protect the
interests Of the peasants.

a Nero role, and Eddie Gribbon, who

OF toting home as wives the captured
slaves set up for sale. How artistic
ally and discreetly this part OF the

from the fact that James II. Abbe,

was specially secured by Mr.. Sennett
to direct the action, pose the players
and bring to bear on their graceful.

1t is claimed that for the first time
in the history of motion photography.
the plastic beauty OF artistic camera
work has been transferred to the

These episodes Of feminine reveal

Cat Mothers Fox Pups.

An Ontario reader writes that her
cat fostered three fox pups since they
were two weeks Old. The pups were
taken from the mother because 1t was
feared they might chill. The cat had
five kittens which were disposed OF,
and the foxes were promptly adopted
In their PLACE. The foxes are now
over three months odd and although
larger than their foster mother, are
still fond of her. They are kept now
in wire pen and kitty Is quite con-
tent to remain with them all day long,
enjoying an occasional erolic.

A Froq Concert.

As I sat on the piazza that evening,
I noticed first an Ominous absence OF
bird voices, and next the presence of
numerous frog population about the
little lake close by. The musical per-
fOrmunces of these vOluble reptiles
began about sunset and increased In
volume and power till nothing else
could be heard. If all the thrushes In
the state had assembled in that spot
and sung their loudest, they could not
have been heard above the awful vol
ume of frog voices.-Olive Thorne
