Fairy Tale
THE VOICES.
.W'ARY GRAHAM BONNER

Some of the voices who were shout
ing out to the boy and the girl as
they were adventuring in the woods
said that they didn't think anything
of Mrs. Wood Elf at all.
And yet the boy and the girl had
found her 80 nice.
''She was so good to u.s. said the
girl to the voices. "Why, she never
even asked us to wash up the Dishes"
swell, maybe she isn't so nice after
ALL" said the boy. "She left Mrs. Get
the-Most- Out-of-L Life to do them. She
came along on q trip with us, which
was certainly far more pleasant"
Certainly" agreed the girl.
Don't be so conceited," said the
second voices they had heard before,
"for Mrs. Wood Elf is doing you a
favor You're not the most wonderful
creatures who ever lived"
you're pretty fine," said the first
voices. "She isn't so nice as you
think"
"Oh," said the second voices, "don't
be Influenced by those other voices
You must be clever and be able to
know which is best. They, the arst
voices, the wicked ones, are advising
you not to like Mrs. Wood Elf, and
after all she has done for you. tool"
"Pooh," said the first voices. 'What
has she done for you? She was glad
enough to have you come to see her
there in the woods. She has but few
friends. She likes company. Gra-
cious! You did her q great eav0r by
going there"
''This is very strange" said the boy.
'The voices are so queer. The first
voices, the ones which say we couldn't
like Mrs. Wood Elf, all talk together,
like a great chorus of voices, and so
do the second voices. do wish we
could see the creatures who own
these voices"
"You can't see u.s." said the first
voices, "for we won't let you. We
are doing all we can for you. though.
In telling you and warning you not to
like Mrs. Wood Elf"
1--WE can't let you see u.s." said the
second voices" but we're the Right
Voices and the others are the Wrong
Voices. We can tell you that much.
Can't you see that our advice is really
the right advice? You've got to be the
ones to decide, and surely you're clev-
er enough to know"
"Ha, ha," said the first voices,
laughing in a very queer fashion.

Auto Accident.

Fast driving is held accountable for
an auto accident on the road near
Morgan Sunday, in which the car own
ed and driven by S. E. Benefited of
Morgan was badly smashed, the oc-
cupants more or less injured and all
Of them victims of a severe nervous
shock. The Benefited car occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Benefited and Mr..
and Mrs. Clayton Ward and their two
children, was overtaken be Nash car
occupied by Ulrich Lipp of North
Redwood and C. R. Smith of Spring
field. The Nash was said to have
been coming at terrific speed and in
passing the other car without appreci-
ably decreasing this speed, it pushed
the Morgan car into the ditch with
such force as to overturn it and throw
all occupants out. Mr.. Benefited
suffered a badly cut hand and wrist
and that the others escaped severe
injury is little short of miraculous.
The drivers of the Nash car did not
stop, but increased their speed in an
effort to make get away. They were
later apprehended and brought to
justice. There will be no legal action
taken as the case was settled Monday
to the satisfaction of the Morgan
party.
