Old Mr.. Giant came dressed In a
costume to make him look like the In
dian or Wild Tobacco Flower.
Witty Witch came dressed in the
costume Of the Cardinal Flower, ami
the bright scarlet of her costume was
much admired.
The Elves wore costumes so that
they looked like Black Eyed Susans
or Yellow Daisies. And they wore
breeches which We're very coarse and
rough to show that Black Eyed Susans
had very coarse stems.
The Gnomes wore costumes SO that
they looked like Violets. Some looked
like Yellow Violets and some like
Long-Stemmed Purple ones.
Others looked like White violets and
some were like little Purple Violets
almost hidden under their leaves.
Then they all danced Such dance
as it was. And so lovely sight as 1t
was to see all the FairyIand people
dressed In their beautiful flower cos
tunes.
They had delicious woodland sup
per with Moss Ice Cream which the
Fairy Queen had made herself.
And then, after supper was over and
Mr.. Moon had laughingly refused to
eat anything saying that If he did he
feared that he would have Moon In
digestion, the Fairy Queen sang a
song she had made up especially for
the occasion.
But there was lot of joking about
Mr.. Moon and his indigestion first.
He was asked what Moon Indigestion
was, and he said that it was indiges-
ton people had when they couldn't
think of what they had eaten to give
them indigestion and then saw the
Moon and said the Moon must have
given It to them.
He said he had never heard anyone
say that, but he had to think of an
answer so quickly to the Fairyland
people that that was the best he
could do upon such short noticeI
But he said he was sure that If he
ate he would have indigestion and
then they'd have to send hot water
bottle up to the sky and warm
blanket to cover over him, and he
would hate to have to put them to all
that trouble.
So he refused their kind offer Of
food.
Then came the Fairy Queens song
and it ended up with these lines which
all joined in singing:
Were dressed to look like flowers,
Oh, happiness is ours!'

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
AEsoP's FABLES

TALES of beasts and animals are
L common In the folklore of all ma
lions. But it is circumstance that
started the practice of using these
tales to make point, as vehicle for
satire or moral teaching, that we owe
what has become an institution on the
bookshelf of every child, our collec-
ton of "Aesop's Fables"
Though we call them "Aesops
Fables" the little stories known by
that name have come down to as from
the lips of many story tellers of an
cient times and the bards of the Mid
die Ages. Their common character,
however, of showing the rewards of
virtue and the penalties of selfishness
and other vices, had its origin with
the ancient Greeks after whom they
are named.
During the epoch of the Tyrants
in Greece free speech was dangerous,
and political criticism unwise. 1t was
then that one Aesop, an educated slave
of Samos, conceived the idea of put
ting over attacks on the government
yelled in fables. The practice was
taken up all over Greece and there
after it was his name that was given
to all fables-animal tales whose OBJ
ject was satire or moral teaching.
When free speech was established
in the Greek democracy the custom of
using fables to prove a point and to
teach was continued. Then, or about
the year 300 B. G., Demetrius Phale-
reus, founder Of the Alexandria IL
brary, collected all the fables he could
find and gave them the title of 'As-
sembles of Aesopic Tales These
and the similar tales which have come
down from ancient India, where the
fable was also used for moral teach
ing, form the bulk of what we know
today as "Aesop's Fables"

begin drinking lots Of good soft water
and get from your pharmacist about
four ounces OF Jad Salts. Take a
tablespoonful In glass Of water be-

your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM

for years to help flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer

AS Told by
Irwin S. Cobb
THE LIGHT THAT FAILED

a N OLD colored man, who had
4 a been crippled In the railroad
service, served for many years as a
Waterman at a grade crossing In the
outskirts of Kentucky town not far
from where / formerly lived. BY day
he welded red flag and by night he
swung a lantern. He was consci-
entious and wide-awake and proud Of
his position of responsibility and au-
thority and for a long time no acct
dent occurred to mar his perfect rec
ord.
Finally, though, one dark night a
cOIored man from the country, driv-
Ing home from town, steered his mules
across the track just as the Memphis
flyer came through and abolished him,
along with his team and his wagon.
His widow sued the railroad for dam
ages. At the trial the chief witness
for the defense was the old crossing
Waterman.
Dressed in his Sunday best Uncle
Gabe atumped to the stand, took the
oath to tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth. And then
under promptings from the attorney
for his side, he proceeded to give testi-
mony strongly in favor of the defend
ant corporation. He stated that he
had seen the approaching team in due
time, standing in the street, he had
waved his lantern to and fro for
period of at least one minute. In
spite Of the warning. he said, the de-
ceased had driven upon the rails just
as the train whizzed across the street.
Naturally, the attorney for the
plaintiff put him to a severe cross-ex-
animation. Uncle Gabe answered
every question readily and with evil
dent honesty. He told just how he
had held the lantern, how he swung
and joggled It and so forth and SO on.
So convinced was the jury by his air
of sincerity that, instead of giving a
Judgment for the full amount of dam
ages asked, they awarded the widow
only few hundred dollars-a much
smaller sum than the railroad had
figured 1t must pay.
After court had adjourned the law
yer for the railroad sought ont the
old man and congratulated him upon
his behavior as witness.
"Gabe," he said, you acquitted
yourself splendidIy. Weren't you at

CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
By H. IRVING KING
MEETING A PIG

TT is bad luck to meet a pig while
L on journey; and If, on going Wis
iting, you meet pig on the way it
is sign that you win not be welcome
when you arrive at your destination.
These are superstitions-or rather a
variation of the same superstition
found to be rather common in Canada
and New England and perhaps exist
ing in other localities Also some
fishermen object to meeting a pig
when about to embark for the fishing
grounds, and some old-fashioned sail
ors regard the hog askance, If they
meet one just before sailing.
This idea that 1t is bad luck to en-
counter hog at the beginning of any
enterprise is mild form of similar
superstition found among the north
ern nations of Europe, especially
among the Scottish fishermen, among
whom an intense horror of even the
animals name prevails.
That the hog was connected with
moon-worship we know and one writ
er says in regard to the superstition
under consideration, "AlI animals con-
nected In folklore with the moon are
diabolical, relic of the antipathy
of sun-worshipers to moon-worship-
ers." This antipathy can only have
existed, however, among the Northern
nations. The most civilized peoples
of antiquity, we know, worshiped both
the sun-god and the moon-goddess !;
conceiving union instead Of an an
tipathy between them. But among the
Northern nations sun-worship was
prominent; the traces of moon-wor-
ship comparatively few. The dwellers
on the misty capes of Scotland and
Norway had not the same reason to
worship the source of moisture" as
the Egyptians had and moon worship,
therefore, may have been considered
highly heterodox. AS the superstition
In question is a Northern one, perhaps
the explanation cited is correct.

Small Railroad Cars

The smallest type OF railway car is
probably the push car. 1t is made
with two pairs of wheels and a slight
deck, and is used by track workers.
Next comes the hand car. 1t is
worked with a hand lever and can
be operated at almost train speed by
a few men. An inspection car hav-
Ing a gasoline engine for working the
