SPOOKS IN THE ENCHANTED FOREST

! it did not seem like forests of now
adays. The trees seemed to be
alive, and everything had dark,
dull color, instead of the bright
green color OF leaves and grass
which our forests have.
AS he approached, he heard such
strange noises that the chills COM
menced to run up and down his
back There were croaking,
screeching, shrieking and kissing
NUMBERING, yowling and groaning.
And the bat commenced talking
with the witch, his mistress; then
he went and sat down. Suddenly
Richie heard, thump, thump, thump,
thump, On the ground. 1t was the
witch, humping for the bat. The
bat went to her and she said some
thing to him and he went away and
brought back a little boy. The
wicth Immediately put the boy into
the boiling water in the caldron,
which was hanging over the fire.
Then she fished him out and gave
part of the meat to the bat, part to
the cat, part to the snake, part to

herself
When the bat had finished he
went away again. While he was
gone Richie thought he had better
get away from there. Then he re-
membered that he was under the
bats power. SO he climbed the
tree and as he passed the trees
mouth (for the tree was alive with
arms and head he risked his foot
but he got it away just in time to
keep 1t from being swallowed. He
then perched himself upon limb,
and looked down. But the tree was
angry at having missed his supper
and shook Richie off his perch. He
fell straight into the pot and what
a splash it made! AS he sank into
the boiling water he heard someone
say. Now see what you have done
to these covers"
He woke up to see his mother
standing by his bedside. And when
she said this he thought that it was
the bat saying it when he fell into
the pot.-Written by ghosts them

A Little Story of
Anton Rubinstein

Anton Rubinstein, founded the
Imperial Conservatory in St
Petersburg in 1862. 1t was Rubin
stein who laid the foundation for
the first systematic musical edu-
cation in Russia.
Born in southwestern Russia in
1929, he became the most brilliant
pianist of his time; he appears to
have been binding link between
several musical periods. In child
hood he knew Chopin in Paris, as
q young man he knew Mendelssohn
and Myerbeer in Berlin; List and
Glinka were his intimate friends
through his manhood, and Tschai-
kowsky is said to have studied with
him in st. Petersburg.
1t was while spending winter
at Nice that Rubinstein and some
of the noblewomen of Russia de-
cided upon plan to raise the
standard of Russian music, which
was then in deplorable state.
In the Michael palace, st. Peters
burg, the first classes were formed,
and Rubinstein assumed the lead
ership of this embryo conservatory.
Rubinstein was more proud OF
the st. Petersburg Conservatory
than of all the compliments he re-
ceived as a virtuoso.
He said, When l am dead, all
care men should remember me
by is this conservatory-that they
should say it was Anton Rubin
STEMS work. From the Etude.

Australians Night Birds.

The night birds are Natures in
struments for destroying the many
insects which come out only at
night. Without them the balance
OF insect life would be upset.
The Australian frogmouth, So
named because of it's huge, broad
beak, is perhaps the most interest
ing of all the night birds. 1t con-
ceals itself by day by perching on
branch of a tree, the bark Of
which it closely resembles in color.
In addition to having pro-
tective coloring, the frogmouth
adopts a protective attitude. 1t
does not sit across Dough, like
other birds, but keeps its body In
a line with it, holding its beak
straight up so that it looks like a
broken off branch.--Childrens Zoo
Pictorial.

Hypnotizing

Two persons, or more, can very
easily help make a success of a
party by getting together and
secretly working out a stunt" in
which one is hypnotized by the
other and made to perform all
sorts of funny things.
Let one of the two be the hypno-
fist and the other his subject. Do
not allow any outsider to know
who the subject is, for he must be
chosen at apparent random from
the partS guests. 1t is well, how
ever, to circulate the news several
days in advance OF the party,
among those who will attend, that
so-and-so, the person who is to be
the hypnotist, really possesses
hypnotic powers. Thus, the effect
made at the party will be much
more realistic.
Arrange in advance just What
stunts the hypnotist will request
the subject to perform after he has
been put under the spell" AS
one stunt the subject may be told,
after he has been "hypnotized,"
that he is now a tight-wire walker
and must walk a wire. He will i'm
mediately start carefully stepping
across the floor, swaying and bal
ancing himself in the manner of a
real tight-wire walker. Numerous
other laughable stunts can be de-
vised.
In putting the subject under the
spell the would-be hypnotist must
employ all the gestures and com.
mands to Sleep" that are used by
the performer on the stage. If he
has never seen a hypnotist perform
then he must use his imagination,
acting In the same manner he sup
poses the real hypnotist would.
The same applies in the case of
the subject.

1t was the night after Halloween
Richie sat up in bed, every nerve
! fibre he possessed was trembling
like leaf fluttering in the breeze
What could be the matter? Ev'
erything seemed so queer and
ghostly. The very bed covers
seemed to move.
Something is the matter. Gee!
wish | hadn't Dragged SO much
last night at the party that | wasn't
afraid of ghosts. Something seems
to tell me that there is someone
watching me from the window. I'm
afraid to look. don't want to be
a coward, though"
And he was so excited that he
lost his balance and rolled out Of
bed, clear over to the window. And,
oh my, how frightened he was.
Then giving flying leap which
was meant for the bed, he landed
flat on his stomach on the other
side.
'Umph!" he grunted and scram-
bled into bed, and pulled the covers
high over his head, so high, indeed,
that his feet grew cold for lack of
cover.
Meanwhile gazing from the win
dow was little bat who was very
much disguised at these actions.
"Humph!" grunted the little bat,
"If | couldn't do any better than
that would certainly kick the
bucket"
Surprised out of his fear, Richie
pulled down the covers and gazed
with establishment upon his unin-
vited guest. 1t was a little bat who
had spoken so sharply.
Couldn't do any better than
what?" demanded Ricie.
"Why-e-e, jumping the way you
d. I've seen better stunts than
that before"
well, wasn't trying to do
stunts in the first place. I'd like
to know who invited you here, any
way. / don't think you are very
polite anyhow. If you've seen bet !
ter stunts l am sure | have seen
better manners. And | wasn't even |
trying to do what you thought l
was. Go away and shut up. Pm

well, maybe l wasn't very man.

would come with me to my mis-

ooh no, | wouldn't get back in
time and my mother would be wor-
ried to death. Well, maybe |
could get back in time," for really
he wanted to go very badly.
So the bat told him to step out
Of the window, for he said.
Il am magic and you are now I'M

So Richie, never stopping to leave

Limitation Of Armaments conference
delegates in direct negotiations on
the Shantung question, inaugurated
Thursday, will, according to the
Chinese spokesman, proceed on a

open port and Japan's demand that
their vested interests be respected.
The latter Japanese demand will be
only partially susceptible to negotia-

ing. At the Spokane & Inland cross
ing, in the north part of town. the
