Nancy and Nick are Twins.

Nancy and Nick are Twins.
One time the Fairy Queen gave
them each a pair OF Green Shoes.
which were magical. These shoes
could take the Twins anywhere on
the earth or off of It, indeed. for
that matter. They could go any
where in the sky or in Fairyland by
just wishing.
They had many wonderful adven-
lures and proved a great help to the
Fairy folk who looked after the
Fairy Queens Nine Hundred and
Ninety-Nine Kingdoms from help
ing Mr.. Rubadub to spring-clean the
birds and animals to assisting Mr..
Sprinkle Bow in making the weather
up in the sky.
Their last adventure was to settle
a dispute between the Diddyevvers
and the Korsknotts in Fairyland,
where a wicked Sorcerer, called
Twelve Toes. had caused trouble.
Now they have returned home over
the Seven Mountains and the Seven
valleys and are greeted by the FAIRY
Queen in her Palace where they re-
late their adventures.
The next adventure is TO be "A
Trip to the Moon"
The Fairy Queen was waiting Tor
the Twins when they arrived at her
palace after a quick trip over the
seven Mountains. They just wished /
themselves back and whizz-they

My reputation as successful
budgeteer was made when finished
my sisters summer clothes. She IS
16 and attractive and thinks that
life would be a dreary waste without
new clothes. Her allowance is small,
so the obtaining OF a complete sum-
mer wardrobe presents difficulties.
She wanted so many things this
season that we decided they'd have
to be made at home, It was a good
solution of the problem, since we
made three dresses and a kntcker
costume for only 1901
Putting a summer frock together
is the simplest sort OF task, espe-
cially IL 1t is one of the popular
slip-on affairs. We made such
dress OF bright figured cretonne and
trimmed II with - what do you
think k?-unbleached musliDl All the
slip-on dresses in the shops were
decorated in just that fashion.

This was the easiest dress of all
TO make. since all the edging is done
with machine bemstitcning ana
there is no other trimming at all.
Just as important as the dancing
dress was the spovt costume-some-
thing that would stand a good deal
Of hard wear. Knckers, OF course,

High Cost of Living.

Joseph Cole, of New Orleans, is a
bridge builder on the Illinois Central
Railroad. Following is the reason
he resists cut in his salary, he hav-
ing kept an accurate account or the
cost of his purchases:
A coat and trousers for $40.
Shoes, s12, $1,000 and $40 pair.
Stockings, s1.39 and S1.35 pair.
A corset at $40.
A hat at s10.39.
Shirts at s3.4S each.
Neckties at s1.25 each.
Suspenders at SO cents pair.
Toilet water at S1.04 a bottle.
Cold Cream at $3.50 jar.
Rouge at so cents box.
Fruit cake at 50 pound.
Poor old Joe, with an extravagant
wife, further said his expenses for
the last month were $162 while his
income (wages) was only S142.4O.
Did you note stockings at S1.39
and s1.35 pair? Toilet water,
s1.04 bottle? Cold Cream, $3.50 a
jar? Rouge, soc box? Cake, 81 a
pound?
Working men cannot always live
in extravaganza and watefulness at
the pace many of them have set them
selves. Only a few years ago Mr..
Coles list of expenditures would
have read something like this, and he
and his family were just as happy, II
not more so, than they are now:
Coat and trousers, $40.
Shoes, SO, s4 or SIS the pair.
Stockings, good cotton instead of
silk (and wife's skirt hiding 'em), 1Oc
and 25c pair.

RAT KILLS RATHER.
Big Snake Succumbs in Battle With
Rodent.

Charles Johnson, farmer, living
south of Clyde, N. Y, caught rat
| tie snake and housed it in box. He
| had planned to take the snake to
| Rochester and turn it over to Pete
Gruber, better known as Rattle
Snake Pete"
A rat of enormous size ventured
into one of Johnson's steel traps. The
rodent was so large that he could not
enter the trap. The springs held him
by his front legs.
Astonished at the size of the rat
Farmer Johnson thought little sport
| would be appreciated. Inviting sever
al farmer friends, Johnson managed
to drop the rat into potato pit and
then shook the box holding the rat
tier over it, The snake soon fell into
the pit and cciled up in corner. 1t
was expected that the snake would
make short work of the rat.
So for few minutes nothing hap
pened, both snake and rat taking op-
posite corners and eyeing each other
very carefully. Suddenly the snake
began an attack. With lightning
swiftness it shot out it's head, caught
the rat unawares and sank its fangs
in the animals nose. The hat squeal-
ed with pain and rage and actually
tore itself loose in desperate strug-
gle in which both rat and rattler
rolled over the floor of the pit.
Next the rat sprang at the snake.
AS the snake squirmed the rat leaped
into the air and caught the snake
back of it's head, tearing the flesh and
inficting a deep wound with it's teeth.
The energy of the rats attack appar-
emily puzzled the snake, which was
bitten time and again. Finally the
rat secured firm hold on the snake
directly under its head and hung on
until the serpent was fairly choked
to death.
The farmers covered the pit with
cordwood and left the rat and dead
snake alone over night. The rat was
found to be alive and active in the
morning. Much surprise was express
ed that the rat was alive, as it was
believed the snakes poison would
have ended the rats life in the night.
Johnson decided that the rat had
earned right to live. Accordingly
the rodent was enticed into a box
containing a quantity of dry bread
and cheese. From the farm it was
carried to the Montezuma swamp,
mile away, and given its liberty.

Paid Republican for Appointment.

Fort Mill, Sept. 2.-The state
ments contained in an interview pub
lished in the last issue of the local
newspaper with J. G. McElhaney,
Fort Mill man who served as post
master for a month and half in
1921, with reference to assessments
by the Republican organization in
this state to secure their influence in
landing federal offices, have been
confirmed.
Mr.. McElhaney said: "There wasn't
anything surprising to me in the
newspaper stories sent out from
Washington a few days ago telling
that Senator Dial was opposing the
confirmation of Joe W. Tolbert as
marshal for the Western district OF
South Carolina on the ground that
the Republican organization in this
state, of which Tolbert is chairman,
had assessed postmasters and other
federal officeholders who have been
appointed through the organizations
influence since Harding became presi-
dent. I secured the postmastership
of Fort Mill through the influence OF
the Republican organization and paid
$50 for it's assistance. The money
was sent by me to one of the Republi-
can bosses in the state, who has since
been appointed to and is now holding
an important federal office"
Mr.. NcElhaney gave the details OF
the preliminaries and says that he
was directed to remit an express mon
ev order rather than bank check or
postoffice money order. He exhibited
a receipt from the express company
for the remittance, which indicates
that the amount of $50 was trans
mitted by him to the officer referred
to.

TIP FOR TEAHOUNDS.
Coral Isle in South Seas Presents At.
fractions.

A sunny coral isle in the South
Seas, where lazy palms fringe the
coral atolls and the women, young
and beautiful, outnumber the men
more than fourteen to one, where
thirty cents lasts month, this is the
story told of TagaWa, an islet of the
Ellis group by Captain j. A. T. Oh
sen, of the American schooner, Hen
riette, wrecked July Is.
Captain Olsen and members of the
crew are in Honolulu with the Brit
ish steamer, Hauraki, which picked
them up at Tagawa, and is taking
them to San Francisco, and the cap
tain's tale follows:
''Tagawa is the only habitable is
land of the Ellis group. Its popula-
ton consists of 100 persons, of whom
only II are men.
"Our schooner was swung off its
course and onto Nukualili reef by the
heavy seas.
1--WE struck at night and at dawn
we tried for the shore. Before we hit
the coral we saw native men, clad
only in loin cloths, pushing an out
rigger canoe into the water, and with
their assistance we made shore in
safety. It if had not been for the
natives we probably would have lost
our lives in the heavy surf.
"Our coming was hailed with JOY
by the natives, who pass their exist
ence in a state of isolation. The wo-
men outnumber the men fourteen to
one or more, and some of them are
beautiful.
Their ages range from IL to 1S
years and there are only few older.
t'The chief of the tribe, husky Sa-
moan, turned over his grass hut pal
ace to the mate and myself to be used
as our private quarters. He also ten
dered me one of his daughters, a
beautiful dark-haired girl with a
lovely figure, as servant! Other
pretty girls were assigned to the mate
and to other members of the crew to
wait on them.

ment. had a great time and would
not have missed the experience for
any money.
81 had only thirty cents in my
pocket, but money was no object.
MANY dinners were given in our
honor and native maiden in grass
skirts performed the hula dances for
our amusement.
"All inhabitants of the island are
Christians and all lead upright lives.
eve had hard time getting away.
The women wanted husbands and
they pleaded with us and coaxed US
to stay. Owing to the isolation OF
Tagawa, most of the men of mar
riageable age have left it, some have
gone to sea as sailors and others are
scattered throughout the southern
ocean and as far west as Australia.
ION our twentieth day on the is
land Mate T. P. Bensen sighted the
masts of the steamer, Hauraki. We
put out in our boat and signalled re-
peatedly, finally catching the atten-
ton of those on board her and they
picked US up.
eve were not worrying, for if the
Hauraki had not sighted us we would
have been taken off the island by the
London Missionary society boat which
calls at Tagawa twice each year."

DuPre Marches to
Death Wearing Smile

Atlanta, Sept. Maintaining his
stoicism to the last and with smile
on his lips as the black cap was ad'
iusted preparatory to sprlnglng the
trap under him, Frank B. DuPre
nineteen years old, paid the. death
penalty at the Fulton county jail
here today for the murder of 1rby C.
Walker, private detective, December
IS, last. The trap was sprung al
2:O4 o'clock and sixteen minutes lat
er the youth was pronounced dead.
The scenes attending the execu-
tion Of DuPre were described by old
Jail officials as the most dramatic
ever witnessed by them. Outside the
Jail the streets on three sides were
blocked with persons eager to get a
glimpse of the proceedings. Even
the tops of buildings nearby were oc-
cupied by men, women and children.
Police reserves were called out to
keep order. Inside the prison walls
DuPre probably was more composed
than any of the officials, witnesses or
fellow prisoners.
The youthful bandit was engaged
in religious services when the fall OF
the death trap for Luke Mcdonald
negro, convicted of the murder of a
negro woman, could be heard
throughout the Jail. He paid no at
tention to the subject which within
the hour was to mean his OWN end.
He continued in prayer until fifteen
minutes of the hour set for his execu-
ton, when unfalteringly he started
for the gallows five stories above.
Upon reaching the death chamber,
DuPre stopped and looked out win
dWo.
That's some crowd, isn't it," he
said to his brother, Joe DuPre.
He then pointed out acquaintance
below and waived to them, shouting
"Good-bye.'
A deputy sheriff called his atten-
ton to Betty Andrews, the sweet
heart for whom he robbed the jewel
~ store and killed Walker. She was
in a cell two floors below, her face
pressed closely against the bars Of
the window. She became hysterical
at the sight of the condemned youth,
who shouted to her:
"Good-bye, Betty. I want you to
\ be good girl. Won't you?"
His words were drowned in the
cries of the crowds below.
''Be good, Betty, be good" Du-
pre- repeated again and again. Then
as the crowd became quiet:
"You are going to meet me in
Heaven, aint you Betty?" the bandit
shouted to his sweetheart.
eyes," was the reply.
DuPre turned to a deputy sheriff
and asked.
'sWell, are you all ready?"
The deputy, too choked with emo
ton to reply, led the boy away to
the galloWs.
"God bless you ALL" DuPre shout
ed as he waived a farewell.
The condemned youth led the pro-
cession to the gallows, surveyed his
surroundings and then asked his spir-
itual advisers to sing:
"a mothers prayer has followed
me-"
DuPre's last audible words utter
ed as the black cap was being ad-
justed over his read, were:
'tPlease brush back my hair"
The suit in which DuPre was hang
ed was the same one worn by him on
the day of his crime.
The execution of DuPre brought to
an end one of the most determined
legal battles ever waged in the his
tory of Georgia criminal courts. All
other efforts having failed to stay ex-
ecution a final appeal was made to
President Harding yesterday but he
replied that he was without authori-
ty to intervene in the case.
