They had been taken by brownie
to city. 1t was horrible. There
were pavements and it was all they
could do to get out Of the way OF
peoples feet. These people were SO
unlike the people at the seashore.
They didn't rest but they always kept
burrying and scurrying along.
After a bit the brownie led them
into a great building and into dark,
terrible thing the brownie called an
elevator. Up they whizzed to dir
zy height and then they stopped with
q horrible jolt.
The brownie beckoned to them to
follow him and he led them into lit
tie office where there was a man sit
ting at desk. There were many
papers before him and he was looking
through them.
Hello, Brownie" he said.
Hello" answered the brownie.
1--WE brought some waves here with
me- They were tired of the ocean.
They wanted adventures. I've shown
them what our great forests were like
and what this beautiful city was like.
Now | believe they'd like to settle
down to work. They were tired of

Ocean, haven't your"
The old man nodded his head.
"Well, they wanted to leave her and
strike out for themselves. They
want to do great things in the world,
so I've brought them here. OF course
onces but Pm sure they'd be willing
to learn. Perhaps you can start some
of them as stokers on railway trains.
They may in time do so well that
they're made managers of the road.
And some you might make lawyers
and doctors, but you would have to
send them to school for good long
time first.
"Well, you know all about jobs and
what ones are ready for them now,
and how much study and work they
need do before they can take them. Ii

will get on. No one can start at the
top. though, eh?" grinned the brownie.
mo one" said the little man.
The waves were trying to say that
they didn't want to work in this horri-
bile city, they wanted to go back to the
sea, but they couldn't say a word.
Finally one of the waves reached
into his sea-shell suit case and pulled
out his sea-weed night shirt. He tried
to say he wanted to go back and he
waved his night shirt, thinking they
would understand as they looked at
the sea-weed that surely a creature
who wore such queer things wouldn't
do for the earth. or the dry land.
But the brownie only grinned at the
little man.
"Ah," he said, this wave wants
good nights rest and then he's ready
to start in"
The poor wave could bear 1t no
longer. He fell down at the brownies

WHY THE CELT WAS PUZZLED
Visitors Inquiry Did Seem Unreason-
able In View of Statement He
Had Previously Made.

A well known physician Of New
York tells why he does not know
whence his ancestors came.
Now, he had always understood that
his ancestors were ScOtch-Irish, and
on the strength of that belief had
prided himself on their royal blood.
Once it occurred to him to go and
have a look the old place whence
they were supposed to have come.
When he arrived at what he believed
was the right district he appealed to
an old Irishman to tell him the exact
spot.
The Celt regarded him much as one
does crazy man, and then said:
Eye say that your ancestors emil
grated from here 200 years ago? Then
why the deuce, sir, are ye lookin' for
them here now?"

The Family Laundress.

George Luks, an artist, said at q
reception in New York:
Servants are paid such high wages
nowadays that only labor unionists
and captains of industry can afford to
keep them. AS for painters"
Mr.. Luks made helpless gesture
and went on:
"a promising young painter said to
me the other day In complacent
voice:
"'My work is now hung on the line
'Then a bitter thought struck HIM,
and he added:
"'So's my wife's.'"

The United. States government
Will appeal the decision of Judge
Van Nalkenburgh, of Kansas City,
restraining the enforcement by
criminal proceedings of an order OF
the Secretary of Agriculture against
increased commission rates for the
selling and handling of livestocks,

nounCed yesterday.
The Injunction was granted De-
cember 81 in the case Of the
Drumm- -Standish Commission Com
pany and other livestock commission
firms against the United States At
torney for the western district of
Missouri, restraining him from in
stituting criminal proceedings under
section 5 of the Lever act.
The SeCretary's order was issued
IN August, 1920. Under the prOyl-
SiOns of the Lever act the livestock
commission business was placed un-
der the supervision of the Secretary
of Agriculture. In July, 1920, COM
mission men of Kansas City, Mo,
put into effect a schedule of increased
commission rates for the selling and
handling of livestock which the De-
partment OF Agriculture found to be
unjust and unreasonable. The Sec
retary ordered the increased rate
discontinued and the previous rate
restored. The commission men re-
fused to do this and Instituted in
junction suits against the Secretary
for the purpose of preventing the
enforcement of the orders.
During the tendency Of the suit,
commission men have continued to
charge the increased rates" says
the departments announcement.
but under direction Of the court
licensed dealers have deposited with
the clerk OF the court the difference
between the old and the new rate.
At the time injunction was granted
$14S.445.62 had been so deposited.
In similar cases, at Chicago and
St Louis the courts did not order
licensees to deposit amounts repre-
senting the increase in rates. How
ever, at East St. Louis. licensees
have voluntarily deposited approx
imately $S5.OOO. II is understood
that this arrangement was made at
the request of the licensees in order
to avoid confusion in case final de-
cision should go against them
In granting the injunction the
court intimated that it would no
longer require the commission men
10 pay the excess commissions to
the clerk"
