would bring the cat the next night
along with her magic kettle.
The first night she came she told
the Ogre she did not have room on
her broomstick for the cat and the
next night she told him the cat was
sick. the following night when she
came % the mountain top she told
the ogre that the black cat had
jumped Of the end Of the broomsticl,
while she Was on her way 10 the
mountain and she could not find il.
The ogre did not believe a word Of
what the old Witch had told him. and
as the black mixture was ready that
night 10 throw over all the land the
ogre told the Witch to be off and
bring hack the cat or she should not
color the world black as she wished
to do.
but the Witch was determined TO
have her way and she did not intend
u give the Ogre her precious black
cat, SO when he was not looking she
dipped from her kettle the black
LIQUID but before she could throw ii
the ogre caught her arm and the old
Witch trying to get away, upset the
kettle The Ogre caught al IL, and
before the Witch could get her kettle
and save what il held the ogre had
thrown il far of the mountain, and
being 4 magic kettle il flew along and
out of sight while the ogre and the
witch lost their footing in the scram-
bic. and down the side of the noun
tain they rolled and were never seen
or heard Of after.
But the kettle and the black mix
ture fell on some rocks near sea
and 10 this day can be seen the black
rocks where the mixture fell and the
sea near them is called the Black
sea. because of the black rocks along
that part Of its shores.
So instead of coloring the whole
world black. as she wished. the old
black Witch did very little harm. for
she coIored only a very small part OF
this great world in which we live. and
a. she was never heard of again we
need not fear having the color OF the
beautiful trees or grass or the flowers
changed.

of balls with which he was honored.
The evening festivities were preceded
by large reception In the White
House. inauguration day weatner
problem for discussion with the In
coming Harrison administration. The
cold and inclement weather during
the inaugural ceremonies and the fol-
lowing celebrations resulted In
number of deaths from pneumonia.
President Harrison himself died sew
eral weeks after the ceremonies from
the effects Of exposure.
A military ball, followed by two
additional celebrations, accompanied
the inauguration Of President Polk:
not SO elaborate.
Selection of suitable place to
accommodate the great number OF
guests desiring to take part in the
ball program caused concern for the
chanan's elevation to the presidency.
The problem finally was met by the
erection of a large temporary build
ing in Judiciary Square. A similar
structure was erected on the same
site when President Lincoln first
took office. Lincoln's second inaugu-
raj ball was held in the model room
Of the patent Office building.
The north wing of the Treasury
building was the site of Grants first
fete, while for his second ball another
temporary building was constructed
in Judiciary Square. The temporary
structure turned out to be an unfor-
tunate selection, as the evening of the
inaugural ceremonies was bitterly
cold and there was lack Of heating
facilities.
AS previously stated. the ball was
not feature of President Hayes in
auguration, although q public recsp-
ton was staged in the White House.
The old National Museum building was
the scene Of the ball in honor Of Presi-
dent Garfield.
The election Of President Cleveland,
the first democratic President since
before the civil war. was the occasion
Of an elaborate ball and reception in
the Pension Office building, where all
balls since have been held. The ad-
ministrations Of Benjamin Harrison.
noteworthy for the successful balls
rendered the new chief executives as
they entered on their official duties.
At the last function Of the kind to
be held, that in honor OF President
Taft, the assemblage was said to be
the most brilliant ever assembled un-
der one roof in Washington. The court
of the Pension Office building was
thronged with the dancers, who repre-
sented all walks OF life. Newspapers
estimated the value Of gems and or
naments worn on this occasion at
more than $4,000. 900.

I'm play it may well be that men

win, but such is not the case in work.
The man who is failing in his work
displays too often a spirit that is
simply internal.
"A visitor to . town that had three
churches asked an elder of one of
them:

Poorly said the elder, in gloomy
tones. very poorly
Then he frightened up and added:

any better"
