THE BAD STOVE

1t was Christmas morning and the
stove was behaving badly.
1t wouldn't go. It was started and
seemed to be all right, and then It
went out and had to be started all
over again.
OF course the stove had been be-
having badly Of late.
But really It did seem too bad that
it should do such things on Christmas
Day.
No one wanted to wait beyond a
certain hour for Christmas dinner.
No one ate very much breakfast
Christmas morning. Everyone Just
saved an appetite for Christmas din
ner.
And the stove was as horrid as It
could be. It smoked and wouldn't
burn, It went out again and had to
be started once more.
Then something happened. It hap
pened, though no one knew how or
why.
But the Fairy Wondrous Secrets
knew for she had come to the rescue.
There had come a rush order to
Fairyland.
1t had been brought by the Snow
Flakes as they had whirled around
outside the window and then rushed
of to Fairyland.
"Fairies, fairies" the snowfakes
had cried as they whirled about,
there is kitchen stove that Is be-

ny FRANK w. HARTH,
In the New York Herald Tribune.
There Is nothing particularly new
in this circuit, which Is the old Wea-
CANT. with a few variations. The set
originally was designed for local re-
ception only, but one local did not
come in very we'll, SO stage Of radio
frequency was added. A location in
the center Of Manhattan was selected
for a test.
The set Is fairly compact. the panel
being by 81 inches and the Dashboard
II by 20 inches.
The chief claim Of novelty is the
placing Of the r. F., secondary, and
regenerative coils on one form and
having them all Of the same diameter.
That simplifies the work somewhat.
There are five tubes, r. F. ampli-
fer, a detector and three audio ampli-
f1ers. The author selected the type of
audio amplifier used because the trans
former gives strong initial input,
free from distortion. for the two re-
sistance- coupled stages to amplify.
The result Is signal OF surprising
fidelity and somewhat greater volume
than two-stage transformer-coupled
amplifier.
The coils are Of the ribbed type OF
hard rubber tubing, recommended for
its high electrical efficiency. There
are IL ribs running lengthwise Of the
tube and spaced equally around the
circumference. The turns Of wire.
touching only the tops Of the ribs,
leave a space under the coils and pro-
vide practically an air core. The an
tenna coil was wound Gas shown in

having very badly. Can't something
be done about it?"
"I'll go at once" the Fairy Won
drous Secrets said.
So of she went, carried in q beau
tiful snow carriage by the snowf1akes.
The air got rather heavy with snow
as the Fairy Wondrous Secrets was
making her trip.
People said 1t looked dark and
that the hills were going to be deep
with snow and that the sky and air
were full of snow and that there
really would be very heavy snow
storm.
But in reality 1t was the snow car
riage carried by many Of the snow
flakes in which was the Fairy Won
drous Secrets.
After they had taken her back again
1t still showed but 1t was much clearer
and the whole air did not seem to be
SO filled with snow.
: The Fairy Wondrous Secrets talked
to the stove.
"Stove," she said, at Is Christmas
Day. You mustn't be so cherries, so
stubborn, so hard-hearted.
"You must burn with warmth and
glow as you help to make the turkey
just as tender as it can be, and as
you help to cook the vegetables and
to finish the plum pudding"
"But I'm old and tired and worn
out, Fairy Wondrous Secrets" said
the Stove.
II don't feel cheerful. I feel old
and tired, and I can't help 1t If I'm
not very good-natured."
"Ah, but just do as I ask now"
Fairy Wondrous Secrets said. "burn
and glow for the Christmas dinner.
Don't be a cold stove"
Now the stove thought that after
all, as 1t was Christmas Day, 1t would
not behave so badly even II 1t did
feel old and tired and cross.
So It started to do its best and
after all the worry and fuss and fear,
the dinner did get cooked on time and
was just as delicious and perfect a
dinner as 1t could be.
And the family ate and ate and
ate.
And even the old stove was thankful
it had followed the wishes Of Fairy

.SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

No man in baseball is being
talked of or about more tnan
Walter johnson these days, and
some Of the mis-inforTnation con-
eerning him, which apears to be
rampant among the public ana
some of the press could not be
adjusted at better time.
One sees and hears state
ments on all sides that Johnson
is starting his twentieth year as
a major Lacquer, the truth OF
which depends entirely upon what
the author means by year IL
he means that term in it's strict
est sense, he is slightly wet, for
Walter will not have completed
his nineteenth year in large;
league livery until late next
July. -,
What Walter is actually doing
is starting the season which VIII
see the completion of his nine
teenth year and the beginning
of his twentieth as member OF
the Washington ball club, which
team alone he has served, since
leaving the Weiser, Idaho, semi
pros in midsummer of 1907.
But, as he he has not been out,
of the short pants of that Welser
club full nineteen years by three
months, he, of necessity cannot
be starting his twentieth year
until he has actually completed
his nineteenth.
When one is a baseball fan,
or a baseball nut, as they are
prone to call themselves, one
wants his dope accurate and it is
some half dozen of the above
group who have taken the trouble
to telephone about Johnson's ac-
tual longevity that has prompted
the detail here mentioned.
The fans depend almost exclu-
sively on the so-called baseball
expeHs of the newspapers for
their dope and when one writes
that johnson is starting his nine.
teenth season" and another de
clares he is beginning his TWEEN
tieth year" naturally an argu
-ment ensues and eventually bet
is made and sooner or later the
sporting departments of the news
papers are called on to settle the
wager.
Had Walter started with Wash.
ington at the beginning of the
season of 1907, he would have
started his twentieth season here
day before yesterday.
Walter reported here in the
waning days Of July, 1907 and
pitched his first game on August
8, being defeated by the Tigers
8 to /. You can figure his
longevity out for yourselves from
that!
