ADVENTURE OF

the fairy. "What shall it be about
Nancy thought a minute. "Just
about nice things" she decided.
"He's so old and kind and always
thinking of other people. He lives
alone on the moon in golden for

ricketiest furniture. And he weaHs
old clothes and his hair is pure
white, what there is Of it, for he's
mostly bald-headed."
Then Nancy told the fairy all
about the time she and Nick had
been to the moon and what they
saw there.
After that Forget-Me-Not wrote
and wrote and wrote. And this is the
valentine she finally handed to the
little girl, and which the Twins fe.v

But his eyes are SO sharp,
He can see in the dark,
And his ears! My, oh my! They

And he has a most wonderful mind!

DISPELLING WORRY

The Guaranty Trust company o
New York, one of thei most prog
ressive financial institutions of tn
country, has come to recognize
worry as a real and tangible prot
lem and one of the great obstacles
to efficiency. 1t believes that
with worry dispelled from the

In it's statistical research it ma

done at that time. Unless an or

u. 8. Senator From montana.
The United States Supreme Court
is the most augustly dignified body
in the world. When the judges enter
in solemn, black-gowned procession
all in the court arise, and as the
justices are seated, the baili1f
booms out in deep and solemn
voice, "Hear We, hear We, hear. We!
The honorable, the Supreme Court
OF the United States is now in SEES
sion. All having business with the
court draw near and make it known.
God save the United States and this
honorable court"
It is highly impressive occasion,
and of all the judges who have
helped to make it so, perhaps Chief
Justice White was the most digni-
fled, the most impressive.
On a certain day this august pro-
cession, headed by Chief Justice
White filed from the side door into
the coArt as usual, while all the at
tendants and spectators arose. Out
into the aisle stepped plainly
dressed, white-haired old farmer
and with hand extended and face
wreathed in smiles, he accosted the
chief justice.
"Why, howdy, jedge!" he said.
A gasp went through the court
room. The judge, thunderstruck
frowned portentiously; then, OF q
sudden, he grinned, shook hands
with the old man, whispered some
thing to him and went on his, way
to the dais.
Later he left his seat, came doWr
into the court and talked for some
time with the farmer, who was ar
old. friend from his home town.
There isn't any particular point
to this story, save that it shows
that Supreme Court justice has
sense of democracy and Of humor.
