CHILDREN'S CORNER
BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
ONCE upon a time, a beautiful
fairy queen lived in the centre of
a great dark forest. Through the
forest ran a brook and by this brook
was the fairy queen's home. Her pal
ace was made of the tail lily leaves
and the turrets and towers were made
of the tall white lily blooms that stuck
their heads out of the water and stood
high above the green leaves.
You would think that any fairy, liv
inp.in a home like that, would be per
fectly happy, but this fairy wasn't
she wasn t evert happy a little bit, be
cause she was always thinking of the
things she didn't have I And that's
no way to be happy no way at all I
When the soft cool breezes of night
came and whispered to her, instead of
listening to them and hearing their
message, she said grumblingly, "Oh, I
don't want to talk to you. go away I
i want to taiK to the morning breezes
now,"
When the cool rain drops splattered
on her forehead she never turned up
her face and drank in their freshness
as the other fairy queens did. She
shut herself up tight tn her palace and
fretted for the sunshine.
And then when the sunshine did
come, she was so hot and thirsty that
she grumbled and wished for rain I
Of course, that no way to be
happy.
The other fairies and all the fairy
queens were very patient with her for
a long time. She was really a beauti
ful fairy and before she got the bad
habit of unhappiness she was very
kind and good to them.
So they talked to her and tried to
make her happy.
"Goldy," they said her name was

DRAWS ?2000; DISAPPEARS
Believe Wealthy Coal Man Met With
Poul Play.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Foul play Is sus
pected In the mysterious disappearance
of William R. Watson, 65 years old, presi
dent of the Colonial Coal Company. Po
lice were asked today to search for Wat
son, who was last seen Thursday after
noon, shortly after he had drawn J2000 In
cash from a bank.
"But this sunshine is so beautiful,"
the fairies said, coajdngly.
"Well you may think so all you
wish," replied Goldy tartly, "I want
rain just now and it don't rain. Oh
dear, I think it's a horrid world and
I'm so unhappy."
The fairies looked around at the
worm sne didn't like. The sun was
shining, the birds were singing, the
flowers blooming, and everybody but
Goldy seemed happy.
"It s no use," said the biggest queen
fairy, we can't make her happy no
body can make anybody happy. Each
one must make himself happy bv
happy thoughts." v" y
"But we don't like to see unhappy
fairies," said the other fairies all
together.
You don't have to sethem." the
biggest fairy said. "Goldy shall not
live with us any more."
And with a wave of her magic wand
the biggest queen fairy made a wish.
Instantly Goldy was changed from a
fairy queen to a gold fish and was
swimming in the water at the fairies'
feet I
"".K '&, the basest fairy
queen, "she shall stav fnvPi"
And would you believe it? away
from the sunshine and the breezes
little Goldy became very happy) Per
haps because she saw fewer beauti
ful things she was happier with what
she had.
Anyway, she changed to her old
nappy self and went swimming gaily
down the brook.
And that is the reason why goH
fishes look so much like fairies they
really are fairies! Fairies who have
been changed to fish And they are
always happy and gay because they
have learned to enjoy everything they
see and have, without fretting for
something they can't have I

CHICAGO. Nov. C And now Chlcngo
Is to have "high school janitors" tutored
men boasting degrees, diplomas and the
like, ns proof of graduation In the art of
"firing up when It's cold," sweeping
dtistlessly and doing It all noiselessly.
Chicago's college of janltorology was
opened up last night under the auspices

already been determined every apart

a few professorships still open.

tho student body.
Arthur L. Ward, educational director
of the Y. M. C. A., Is on the trail of a

Tills stage in tho development of the
conflict has been regarded as a, decisive
one for the German hopes. If the Ger
man General Staff could not win a great
victory beforo tho reserve strength began
to Appear the advantage the Allies would
possess has seemed to be unmistakable.
No such victory has been gained, and
the first British Territorial regiment has
nrrlved at the front. Henceforth, pre
sumably, there will be a continuous In
crease of Great Britain's military strength
on tho Continent. Tho pressure of these
reinforcements should soon exert great
Influence on the Franco-Belgian cam
paign. The defeat of the three British cruisers
and a supply ship by Ave German cruisers
off the Chilian coast demonstrates the
hopelessness of n greatly Inferior force
attacking n superior Power at sea. It
shows how hazardous would bo an offer
of battle by tho German high seas fleet
safely resting In home harbors. The Ger
mnn preponderance In the Chilian battle
is not adequately represented by the pro
portion of five to three The German
heavy armanent aggregated 16 8.2-Inch
guns, 12 n.D-lnch guns nnd 30 4 1-Inch guns.
The British vessels had 2 9 2-Inch guns
nnd 32 8-Inch guns. With anything llko
equal efficiency this difference In arma
nent, particularly that between 16 8.2-Inch
