Church bells in old London town rang merrily this morning in honor of the fifth birth day of a prince of the royal blood, lit tle John Charles Francis, whose papa is the new King of England. Although the youngster is a long way from the throne, and will likely never shine save in the reflected light cast by his elder brothers, hlB birthday was ac corded the same official honors as In the case of his big brother, the heir apparent. Superstitious folk point out, as an "auspicious sign", that Prince John's birthday coincides with that of Julius Caesar. AfteT the letter's death and deification the augurs announced that whoever saw the light on Caesar's birthday was "destined to happiness and great glory." It goes without saying that all England hopes their prognostications may prove correct in Prince John's case. Saturday was a red letter day in tht history of Central Point,, marking as it did. the greatest event so far 'e corded on the town's history, says the Herald. On that day the pumps were started at the city well and water wa turned into the mains of the nmnlil pal water system for the first time. KRYPTOR v... 1 FAR wSK 3 Without lini in the Lens DR. X. P.

It Js one of the oldest cities in the world and one of the best known. It was begun so long ago that no om now knows when It was started or who were the first people wbV lived there. "In the old bad days before men learned to live quietly at home and at- tend to their own affairs there were many wars between the peoples of the different countries. In those days whenever one country bad anything which another country wanted the first country tried to take it away. "Well, the people of a city near Rome thought it would be a good thing for them if they sent a lot of men to take the city away from the Romans. But they were afraid to send their men in the daytime, as the Romans were known to be good fighters. "So they decided to send their men at night to take the city by surprise. They made their plans very carefully and thought it would be easy to take the city. The soldiers planned to climb the walls of the city while it was very dark. "The plans were well laid, and the Romans all went to bed that night without knowing that anything was wrong. They had men on watch on the walls of the city, of course, but they did not keep very good watch, for the enemy's soldiers were able to climb on top of the walls of the city without being seen. "Then a very strange thing happened. The people in Bome were very fond of goose flesh aud also made use of the feathers of the geese. They kept great numbers of the birds. Some of the birds happened to be restless and awake the night the enemies of the Romans made their call, and when they saw the strange men climbing the walls they began to cackle just as loudly as tbey could." "Did they wake up the city, daddy?" asked Jack. wnl'n called sentinels. Well, when the Roman sentinels heard the geese cackling they began to think something must be wrong, and they ran to the place and saw the enemies. Then, of course, they woke the people of the city up. and they made the enemy run away. 80, you see, it was the geese who saved the city." "Did they do anything with the geese, father?" asked Evelyn. "You may be sure that those geese were not eaten or plucked, childn said daddy. Daddy's Bedtime Story Why the DADDY glanced at his watch, called Evelyn and Jack for their bedtime story, and this is what he told them: "I suppose you have often wondered why all the robins have red lire asts Well, it may have been this way: "Long, long ago, when there was only one family of robins in the land, the mamma robin was very worried because one of her children bad a very bad cough. She bad once heard a wise old mother owl say that red flannel was a sure cure for a cold on the chest, so she sent papa robin on a journey to see if be could not get her a piece of it. She wrapped him up a nice big lunch, kissed him goodby three times and told him to hurry as fast as he could, for the little sick baby would die if it did not get help soon. He prom ised to do bis best. "The papa robin flew and flew, keeping a sharp lookout all the time, and Anally he saw a farmer's little girl coming from school wearing a red flannel cape. Mr. Robin chirped and twittered, but of course she couldn't understand that his little boy bsd a bad cough and needed a piece of the flannel or she would gladly have given It to him. But luckily the wind understood him, snd It blew so hard that an end of the cape caught on a bush and tore off and bung there. "Papa robin pounced on that red piece of flannel as if It were a big fat worm, and he raced back home, as proud as a peacock. Then mamma robin harried to a pine tree, covered the little rag with the healing gum so good for a cough, and then stuck It right on her little sick baby's chest, and It wssn't long before he could chirp again as loud as his brothers and sisters. But for tome time the weeny bird was very thin and pale, and bis parents, to fstten him up, gave him all the nicest worms tbey brought to the nest This made the other weeny robins Jealous, and guess what they did?" "Ran awsy to sea and became pirates," ventured Jack. "Pooh!" exclaimed Evelyn with a superior air. "Who ever heard of bird pirates? No; they got coughs, too, and were given their share of the worms." "Both wrong, children." laughed daddy. "Those foxy little birdies flew orer to a barn that was being painted red. and each got a daub of paint on its breast, and then, as mamma robin couldn't tell which one of her children wore the red flannel, she had to divide the worms with them for fesr that the sick birdie wonld not get enough to eat. And then mamma and papa robin thought that red breasts were so pretty that tbey. too, flew over to the barn and got in the paint, and ever since all robins have been born with ' breasts." 1 RUGS ALL GRADES Daddy's Bedtim The Geese That Saved a City .. . ...
