PLAYTIMfr-THE WITCH AND THE DWARF

One day a tiny dwarf sat crying

by the roadside, when a kind oldwitch came hobbling along and

asked him to tell her his troubles.The dwarf told her he was crying

because he was crippled and couldnot run about as the other dwarfsdid.

"Nobody loves me." lie said, "andI am very unhappy."

"I will try to help you.'' said theWitch. "I cannot make you beauti-ful In figure, but I'm sure I canmake you happy If you will do as Itell you.

"Not far beyond the woods lives? littledwarf who Is ill all the time.Go over and take care of him, readto him and tell him stories. Thenthere is a little fairy living nearby

whom you must help with her flow-ers. Do these tasks for nine days,and on the ninth day meet me hereand tell me if you are still un-happy."

The little dwarf did as he wastold, singing and telling prettyfairy stories to the sick dwarf andplanting whole rows of flowers forthe little fairy's garden. On theninth day he met the witch at theroadside again.

"How are you today?" asked theWitch.

"I have boen doing so manythings to make other people happythat I haven't thought about my-self, but I really am much happier,"

CAPTAIN SADIE SCHULER\u25a0psoial Oorrsapandsnca to Th* Press

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 15.?When the Invlncibles and Ama-zons, base ball teams composed ofsouthwest Virginia society girls,began to play base ball in the sum-mer, the players appeared in walk-ing skirts and high heeled slippers.The result was lame fingers,twisted ankles, torn clolhes, flash-es of lingerie, discomfiture of theplayers and howls of Joy from themasculine members of the audie-nce.

This was months ago. Now theInvlncibles and Amazons, as therival teams are called, appear inbloomer costume ?or at least it isreported that they do?a positivestatement to this effect cannot bemade by mere man, as men are

happier when we forget ourselvesand help our friends."

When you find It necessary topatch your wall paper, and thepatch ls so much brighter than theold, try hanging the patch out Inthe sun awhile to fade. It will lookmuch better when the job Is com-pleted than If patched with thebright, new piece.

People who suffer from sleepless-ness should try sleeping out ofdoors. It's better than a vacationat the seashore or mountains.

Use ravelings of the same goodswhen you wish to mend garmentsof woolen material. If neatly done,the mend will be almost invisible.

A few drops of lemon juice added

to the water in which rice is boiledwill make the kernels whiter andimpart a delicious flavor.

O. B. Nelson, the North Divisionstreet merchant, had visited the-court house with a bundle of clothllng as samples for poor farm usaa contract for which was scheduledto be awarded some time today b|the county commissioners.

"How do you like this way ofbuying county supplies?" was ask-ed by a Press reporter.

"Why, it ls the only way to dobusiness," replied Nelson. "If I

have some articles or goods the?cownty needs that I care to cut?the price on. this order is openIf I want to go after It. The tax-payers get the benefit ot the cutana the man who gets the ordergefß a chance to turn his money,even if at cost, and buy somethingelse.

' "When I see the results the com-missioners are getting in the eco-nomical management of countyaf-

fairs It only makes me see moreclearly the beneficial results theDcs Moines plan of city govern-ment would give us In Spokane,were we to adopt It. Under theDcs Moines plan the affairs of thecity would be looked after by aboard of five commissioners whowould at all times be In" directtouch with the affairs of the cityand could, like our county com-missioners, save the money of thetaxpayers if they cared to do so.Of course 1 would insist on the re-call so that If any man proved

recreant to the trust imposed onhim he could be reached."
