nothing more. So off he hoped to the
little white house on the top of the
hill, and when the little fairy answered
his knock, he said: I'm very hungry.
Won't you give me some breakfast"
Come in" laughed the little fairy,
who was dressed in a gauZy pink dress
and a silver spangled crown. And
straightway she went to the cupboard
and brought out a saucer of fairy food.
All of a sudden, in came troop of
little fairies on butterflies bringing
with them candy flower lollypops.
And. in less than five hundred short
seconds, the happy bunny boys peck

after that he said Thank you'll" and

A Shy Young Man

Ethelberta was telling Margaret of
the shy young man that had for
some months languished by reason
of the fact that he has been unable
to pluck up sufficient courage to
make known his devotion to her.
Finally, according 20 Ethelberta s
account. it became scessary to take
decisive measures to help him out.
Consequently, the next time the shy
young man called, Ethalberta pointed
TO the carnation he wb1e in his but
ton-hole and said, I'm give you a
kiss for that"
Although the bashful suitor's color
outdid the carnation in brilliancy,
the exchange was duly effected.
Then the youth grabbed his hat and
was about to leave the room.

manded Ethelberta in surprise.

Reminders
By Albert T. Reid

Remember this, that l have seen
May give her carnival of green,
And watched noon sunlight bless the
bough
AS pious poplar took the vow.
Remember l have caught the song
OF whitethroats and the robin throng,
That have leaned to touch the ground
Laden with light and scent and sound !;
How l have cherished quiet shade
Calm elms and kindly beeches made
Think of these things some radiant
day
When gold brims from the heart of
May:
Think of all these and let them be
The tranquil requiem for me.

TRACK REMOVAL
 PLANS AGREED ON
Main Line Of L. & N. To Be
 Moved By Docks Board

MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 6.-Another important phase of the port construc- tion program was tentatively agreed upon today at a conference General William l.. Sibert, chairman engineer of the state docks commission. had with railroad officials who are directly in- terested in the new right of way of the L. and N. railroad over the tracks and through the yards of the NJ. and O. and Southern railroads between One and Three Mile Creeks, where the port facilities will be located. The local officials tentatively approved the pro- ject and will submit it to higher off cials before it becomes final.
 In the scheme of the docks commits sion the main line of the l.. and N. will be moved west to make room for the docks and slips. and will cross through the yards of the NJ. and o. and Southern. The conference yesterday was for the purpose of discussing the work incident to the track removal.
 Engineers continued to speed up the work which must be done before actual construction is started on the river be- tween One and Three Mile Creeks. Not withstanding the fact it will be several months before ground is broken for docks, several months being required to move the main line of the railroad, the engineers have their part of the task well in hand, it was stated.
