But what became of this dreadful
black cat I don't know. except that a
little bird told me she bumped into
stecple and changed into bat that
few around in the night time.
Now, while Little Jack Rabbit and
tie handsome prince stood gazing up
into the sky after the old black cat, a
funny little man dressed in green
coat and red cap jumped out of the
ground and sang:
II come from the earth, deep down be-
low
Where the diamonds and rubies and
emeralds grow.
Where the blind mole digs his winding
With never the light of the happy day.
But we little men with our lanterns
bright
Don't care If it's dark as stormy
night.
Ha. ha, ha, and no. no. no!
We work all day in the earth bellows
Ho, no, no, no."
Then, dancing around the old we'll.
he presently pulled up the bucket. and
would you believe it, when he poured
out the water. it turned into diamonds
and rubies. Then, giving handful to
the bunny boy and handful TO the
handsome prince. without a word, he
jumped into a bucket and went down
the well and in less than five hundred
short seconds they heard him singing:
"Ha. ha. no. no. I'm down below
Where the starry diamonds ever glow.
Ha, ha, no. ho."
The next minute, up drove a coach
and four.
Here is my coach, Little Jack Rab-
bit" said the handsome prince, with q
laugh, come with me-"
Off went the four prancing horses
and if they don't run away and break
their necks when a black crow flies in
front of them, I'll tell YOU what hap
pencd when they reached the castle.

NOT A COMPLIMENTARY RE.
PORT

1t is charged in Augusta that auto
mobilists bring the strangest tales to
the town of difficult roads, and long
distances, that have been related to
them in Portland. One automobilist
was told in Portland that it was so
miles. over wretched roads and to
poor hotels. 1t is about 81 miles, over
good roads via Lewiston to one Of the
best hotels in Maine. Maine has done
lot for Portland; help the automo-
bilist on his way.-Lewiston Journal
This surely isn't very compli-
mentary charge. What basis for 1t
there may be, we do not know. We as
sumo some hotel clerk has been talk
ing about that Of which he is isnor-
ant 1t would seem well for those
giving out such transformation,
hereafter. to call up the Maine Pub
licity Bureau.

WHERE RESEMBLANCE ENDS

An exchange publishes the picture
Of Magnus Johnson. He wears glasses
and a SLOUGH hat. One easily might
mistake the face for that Of Roose-
welt. The likeness is striking.
But when 1T comes to doctrine two
men scarcely could be more dissimi-
lar. Read this from Johnson's speech
on Thursday: THE farmer should
have cost production. plus reason
able profit. definitely guaranteed by
the Government.
Does Magnus really consider what
that means?
1t would mean that the Government
which guaranteed those things would
be compelled to tell the farmer what
and how much he should raise in
crops, the hours he should work. And
from being one of the most independ-
ent OF all men he would become
merely the tool Of some Washington
Bureau.
No. we cannot believe Magnus
wants that.

Quick! Jump in. shouted the
Billy Goat, and in hoped the little
rabbit bunny boy.
Put your head over the back OF the
boat. cried the Billy Goat to the Old
Brown Horse.
Dear me. The poor, old fellow had
scarcely enough strength to do even
that. At length, however, he began
to breathe easier You see, all he
had to do was just hang on and be
towed along. Very soon, all the water
ran out of his eyes and ears and he
felt much better. BY the time the
ferryboat reached the shore, he was
quite frisky. and no sooner did his
feet touch. the ground, than he turned
to the Billy Goat with a laugh.
you saved me from Watery
grave, kind Billy Goat Ferry Man.
Some day, I'll do you a friendly deed,
IL l can.
"Oh, don't mention it,! replied the
Billy Goat. I'D do anything for you
and Little Jack Rabbit. Give my re-
CARDS to the folks at home! and
away padded the good lfesaver, in
his paddle wheel rOwboat. back to the
wharf where the little rabbit boys and
girls awaited him to take them out
sailing to ice cream picnics and lolly-
pop clambakes.
Vow I'll take you home, said the
Old Brown Horse. I'm nicely rested
now. | declare. I never thought this
river had so swift a current. We had
q narrow escape.
"oh, | was so frightened", said the
little rabbit, climbing on the back Of
the Old Brown Horse. Il thought I'd
never see the dear Old Bramble Patch
again. l want to get home to moth

You'll he there pretty soon, replied
the old horse. setting off at a brisk
trot.
AS, they neared the Old Bramble
Patch, they saw Lady Love standing
at the gate, shading her eyes with her
front nav

Now in the story before this left off
Just as the wicked witch fell into the
pond, so we needn't be afraid of her.
But, Oh dear me. Sitting on the door
step was her old black cat and wasn't
she dreadful looking thing. Well, 1
just guess she was. Her eyes were as
green as-grass and right in the middle
OF each was a little red spot that
looked like fire. And her tail was as
big as a feather boa and the hair on
her back stood up as straight as the
quilts on a porcupine.
On seeing what had happened to her
wicked mistress, she looked all around
for something on which to fly away.
And before YOU could say "NVipkerty
blinkerty." she jumped into an old
dust pan which rose high into the sky.

Return Of The Lightning Rod
(Ncw York World)

The lightning is coming back.
The first electrical scientists of the
time. Thomas A. Edison and DIR.
Charles p. Steinmetz of the General
Electric Company. have Reimbursed it,
when properly installed, as pro-
tector of buildings from fires caused
hy lightning. The National Board of
Fire Underwriters now gives a
great practical push toward its res
toration by declaring that 80 per cent
of such fires can be prevented by the
general use of the rod and by offer
ing its services for the adoption of
right methods of installation.
1t is a new vindication for Ben
iamin Franklin and the first light
ning-rod. which grew out of his kite
experiment some 40 years ago. But
it needs to be said that in all this
time electrical science has never
fatty condemned lightning con-
ductors for buildings and other lofty
objects as useless. What killed them
