THE next kite that came before
= the Fairy Queen was bird-kite,
and he, too, was in trouble.
What can l do for you, my good
fellow" asked the Fairy Queen, kind
ly. Nancy and lick wondered at
her good nature. The Twins thought
of their own impotence when their
kites got tangled in trees or refused
to go as high as their little owners
wished them to, and they resolved
to do better in the future. The Fairy
Queen seemed to know this for she
looked over and gave them an APP
proving smile. Then she turned her
attention to the kite again.
Please, your highness, would you
mind sending word to Billy Browns
mother that didn't take her pearls?"
answered the kite. "She thinks that
! stole them,. but honest, l didn't.
You see the String broke and the
pearls were fastened to my tail be-
cause Billy couldn't find"
ooh, hold on, hold onw cried out

| the Fairy Queen. Whats all this?
l can't make head or tail Of it,"
Neither could Billy" answered
the bird-kite mournfully. THAT is,
he couldn't find tail to balance me
when | was up in the air. A strip
of old muslin would have done, but
he couldn't find thing. So he hunt
ed around and all he could find was
string of pearl beads on his moth
er's bureau, winch he tied on to me
for a tail.
Then he took me out and let me
fly away up into the air above the
tree-tops. But the wind was so strong
that the string snapped and the wind
blew me up here. Now I'm afraid
they'll think l stole the pearls"
The Fairy Queen smiled. "I'll send
Twinkle Toe back with the pearls, !"
she said, "and Silver Wing will
show you the way back to Billy's
house"

Mr.. Critics further made an appeal
to the women of Georgia to give
this serious thought in their, house

70 consider the millions of dollars
of good Georgia money going out
of the state annually Tor goods that
should be produced right at home.
He further states: 1.-The farmers

take the place of cotton, and yet
we handicap them and our own prog
ress by buying articles from other
state that they could produce at a

Our prosperity is. within our own
hands. Let us make the most of it."

TERMS ARE LIBERAL
FOR HOME RUN KING
SO Liberal That Col. Rupert
Broods Under Weeping Will
low at Eagles Nest.
BY w. o. McGEEHAN.

Colonel Jacob Rupert, president OF
the Yankees, left hurriedly for Eagles
Nest, the Rupert Estate on the Hud-
son last night. Col. Rupert just re-
ceived word from Col. Tillinghast
LHommedieu Huston at Hot Springs.
Ark. as to Ruth's terms for the coming
season and a few seasons thereafter.
The terms are most liberal-for Ruth.
The Babe was signed up by Harry
F'raZee. the well known baseball sales
man, for $1,000 year. The contract had
two years to 20 when the Colonels
planled down sl35.0o0 in cash for Ruth.
Ruth asked for more salary and got
raised to 800, 900 year to start with.
And then he asked for little more
and got II. Some declare that the Babe
is now asking $4,000. That is con-
servative estimate of what the Babe
thinks he is worth and all that the
Babe thinks he Is worth he gets.
When Col. Rupert got first glimpse
OF the telegram he turned pale and
rushed for his limousine. Out on the
Ruppert Estate there is a weeping
willow tree where Col. Rupert has
spent a great deal OF time brooding
thorugh the summer when the fanks
were trailing in the pennant race. IL
is believed that the president OF the
Yanks spent most Of last night under
this tree.
Word from Hot Springs Is somewhat
vague and incoherent 1t Is to the effect
that Col. Huston and the Yanks' Home
Run King have reached a tentative
agreement which should be ratified later
by both Colonels In solemn congress as
sembled.
The telegram also is to the effect that
Ruth has lost much weight. II Is be-
lieved that Col. Rupert Is on the way
to losing even more weight and that
the combined bankrolls Of both colonies
will be able to make the flyweight limit

The Colonels had intended to be very
firm with Ruth. Col. Huston was
shipped to Hot Springs in an upper
berth to register great firmness at Hot
Springs. No doubt that he did but Ruth
seems TO have countered with even
greater firmness.. :,
The telegram to Col. Rupert has all
the details az to how Col. Tillinghast
L'Hommdieu Huston was extricated
from the berth. but somehow they did
not interest Col Rupert. II Ruth IS
signed on n long time contract for the
figure proposed II Is probable that the
two Colonels will not be able 70 aHoru
anything but upper berths when they
travel.
II is believed that Col. Rupert VIII
issue some tangible statement as to the
Ruth matter to-day after he has thought
IL out under the weeping willow tree.
Cousin Egbert Barrow. business man
ager for the Yanks. is expecting an offi-
sial communique In the morning. In the
trude upon Col. Ruppert's grief.
It was learned at the Yank office that
Aaron Ward. the holdout infelder. has
shown signs OF weakening and had an
nounced that he would move on Hot
Springs 10 throw himself upon the mercy
OF the Colonels. Perhaps. on the other
hand. Ward interpreted the statement Of
Midget Manager Higgins as sur

There should be lot OF heavy an
