THE EVENING

until the nets hung clear Of the
water at the side of his boat. And
there he saw o strange sight. In
the nets lay beautiful mermaid.
Her long, green hair hung about her.
And her slender tail flashed silvery-
white as she lashed about trying to
get free of the net.
'Please let me CO." she cried to
Saul.
Now there have been fishermen
who have taken mermaids prisoner,
and brought them to town. But mer-
maids soon die away from the sea.
Saul had a kind heart and the mer-
maid was so pretty that he couldn't
think of hurting her. So he quickly
loosened his nets. They dropped
back into the water and Saul could
see the mermaid's tail flash in the
waves as she leaped about, glad to
be free.
Saul sighed and said to himself,
mo pearl tonight. may as well go
home to dinner"
But then he heard the mermaid
calling to him. He leaned over the

rail and saw her swimming along
side the boat.
Saul" she cried, because you
have set me free I can grant your
dearest wish. I am King Neptune's s
Oldest and favorite daughter"
"Oh, sweet mermaid" cried Saul
anxiously, could you send Inga and
me SOM"
go back to your cottage and
wait" she cried, and disappeared.
Saul went home to tell Inga the
good news. And the mermaid swan
like a streak to the great sea castle
Of coral where King Neptune lives.
Neptune listened to his daughters
story and smiled. And this is why
he smiled
For hundred years he had had
a visitor. A young prince from the
kingdom where Saul and Inga lived.
The princes boat had gone down
in storm one night when Neptune
was very angry. The mermaids
had found him and brought him to
Neptunes castle. He had lived there
quietly ever since. He had grown

no older, but he had always longed
to 60 back to the land.
"Now is the time to send our vis-
itor home again" said Neptune. And
then he saw his daughter looked
unhappy. She said, ''It is right
But shall miss him more than any
one in our kingdom"
Neptune patted her hand. But he
looked puzzled.
The Sea Gull.
I'VE can give him gifts of the sea.
But how can we aid him on the
land? We must ask help, and since
this is Christmas Eve, some one
must go to Santa Claus"

1t happened one Christmas Eve
Saul, the fisherman, stayed out in
his boat long after sunset that day
because he hoped to find a pearl to

He cast his nets many times.

The automobile is al- ready here, and is being equipped in a manner similar to the one in operation by the state police.
 New Inhalator
 What was demonstrated today was brand new rusitator ant inhalator, inexpensive machine, but which is believed to more than pay for itself within a short time period by the lives 1t will save; it is known in the market as the E. and J. According to Deputy Chief Champion, it is one of the best of it's kind on the market.
 Chief Campion requested the appearance of the night shift at the demonstration. It was not an order.

 Observe" said the acting chief, "that this is Safety Week, and so designated. The Fire Depart ment observes safety every day of the year; look at the inspections of the Marshal's office to pre- serve life and property; examine into the record of the past where in this department has function ed and saved people overcome by gas fujes, electric shock, etc. The Fire Department is a safety unit. and always has been so classed from its very inception.
