Snow White - Poultry Farm, Deepford.1 Loclnda Melvln read the advertiae- ment tn the Little River poatofflce. and her smooth white brow dooded. "Oh, 1 SJIrS TBESB TILL Fit. dear! Just think of those boots being there, and I can't claim them because, I suppose, the Under, this Newton Aah . ford, la a gossipy old man. who will gabble about It until Aunt Ann hears about It. Bother r -. The postmaster thrust sn inquiring face close to the stamp window. , ; "Bother what, Clndar he asked Jo cosely. "Ton ain't lost any rubber . boots, hare yoaT i "Of course not," denied Clnda with guilty const fence. "I'd tike our let ters, please, Mr. Fox." "No letters for you folks today," an nounced Mr. Fox. "How's Aunt Annr "Very well thank you," said Clnda as abe prepared to leave the office. "Ain't got over her queer atreak yet. ehr "What queer'etreakr' flssbed Clnda. "Seems like I heard Mrs. Fox aay something sbout your Aunt Ann wss going to git out the old family coach to ride to the Pundermana party in. I told Eliza I guessed the hull con trivance would come to pieces like the ' one boss shay tn the pome." He chuckled mirthfully. "Ton will bare an opportunity of floding out." said Clnda haughtily as -she walked out of the office. . "Whe e e e e er whistled Mr. Fox amaaedly. "What a long tall our cat's got! .Talk about airs! I wonder what Eliza will ssy when she hears how Clnda k etched me up becsuse I waa - Joking about the old yellow coach her grandfather rode In!" ., . All Little Elrer heard what Mr. I Fox thought about Clnda Motrin's .proud air. Mont of the villagers had engageA 1 seeta la Letermau's long stages, and aa the runners would be placed uader them there waa to be- a long alelgh ride all the way to Deepford. Uow the ancient chariot of the Met ritis could make tta way through the snow was a matter for conjecture. But Clada. with the flerre pride of her race, set her red llpe (Irmly, and erery spare momeat found her at the car riage house, rubbing and polishing and cleaning the old yellow coach. She brushed andbeat the faded reteet lin ing of the once splendid vehicle, end she washed the windows and pollobed the b rafts lamps. The Pundermana' party bad been a long looked fir erent Erery year In February the whole Punderman fam ily connection bad gathered at the old homestead and given m neighborhood party that Included the Inhabitants of two Tillages. Not to be Included among the list of guests was not to be tn Vrtety" ss they recognised It In Deep ford and Utile Hirer. Of course the Melrlna were among the elect, and each year tbey had aat sociably with their neighbors tn the stage. Perhaps It waa because Aunt Ann waa growing old that she devel- eped at this ttme sereral strong peco liarlties, one of which wss . her fear that she might lose her position tn -s'clety." Clnda had tried to laugh her out of the notion, then coaxed, without avail. "Dear Aunt Ann." Clnda had remon strated, "don't be foolish as If It made any difference whether we go la the coach or afoot or In the stag. One neighbors like as for what we ar not for what our grandfathers were." But Aunt Ann had fallen Into a tem per and shaken her ebony cane at her pretty grandniece and threatened to change her will If Clnda did not alter her democratic ways. So Clnda bad resoired to frown down any attempt at ridicule that the repro duction, of the yellow coach might ex cite among thetraelgbbora. If it pleased Aunt Ann to resurrect the coach and ride In ittben It wasjCluda'a part io uphold her In this moire; bene ber light skirmish with the postmaster. The night of the party waa cold, with a deep layer of snow that had fallen two days before. The roads were broken, and sleighing waa excellent, but the traveling for wheeled rehlcle waa hazardous. A full moon waa shining brightly as the yellow coach waa dragged creak Ingly before the old colonial porch by two large white borne thst Maggie's nephew hsd obtained from a local farmer for the purpose. Simmy him self aat on the drlrer's seat, hla head proudly' aloft under the . weight of Colonel Melrln's old silk hat; other wise he waa a bundle of ragged orer coats, topped by an ancient cloth cape. also a relic of the deceased warrior. Maggie held a lamp aloft In the door way as an excuse for seeing the Isdles off. Clnda's clerer lingers had made them rery splendid Indeed; Aunt Ann. aa usual. In black velvet with ber huge mink cape orer all, and Clnda herself. Uke a rosebud. In one of Aunt Ann's pink organdie gowns. From head to foot she was swathed In an old India shawl, and only her bright head peeped oat to occasionally surrey ber small white slippered feet. The coach rocked teeteringly down the drlreway and nearly careened as Simmy turned the horses Into the road. "I reckon dla .yere'a gwlne to be a ticklish ride," he muttered gloom ily. "If s wus'n runnln down de bay in a eaa' win'. I reckon Ts gwlne ter smash ole Mis' Mel Tin an' Miss Clnda befo I gits through wldTdla yere Job. GIddap, yo' ole twin snails! Whoa, dab! I reckon yo' needn't hurry so fas' If yo's gwlne lak dat!" Jost before they reached , Deepford the catastrophe which Clnda bad been fearing happened. All at once one of the rear wheels collapsed, letting the body of the heary rehlcle ssg peril ously at that corner. The horses floundered about in the snow, palled to and fro by the thoroughly frighten ed Simmy, while Aunt Ann took it into her head to break down and bewail the fallen glories of the house of Melrln. Clnda etroTO to reassure her.' The breakdown hsd occurred In front of Newton Ashford's bonne, and the young man ran out to render assistance 1 Since A its foun- dation, it has been the policy of this Company t to embody in the emiii srtori , in perfected form, the best typewriter ideas by whomsoever advanced.

"It you will aalst me to a tight, sir, I will wait until yoa make the change. I do not fver the anow I hare on arc tics. Clnda, my dear, I hope you hare put on your rubber boots." "I didn't. Aunt Ann." confessed Cln da. "I hare nothing but these thin slippers on." "Walt a moment, please." Newton ruahed toward the house, while Aunt Ana took adrantage of hla absence to cold her pretty niece at considerable length. When be returned . Newtn waa waring a email pair of rubber boota. "Perhaps these will flt," be suggest ed, giving them to Aunt Ann. "I think they are little boy's boots. I found them la the anow." Aunt Ann pushed the boot orer Clnda's white slippers, and they fitted exactly, and with Newton'a help they went to hla bachelor abode and await ed the changing of their coach to a alelgh. This accomplished, they learned that Mr. Ashford waa going to the party, ao Aunt Ana lnrlted him to ride with them, and during the remainder of the Journey tbey became acquainted. Annt Ann discorered thst her hus band's stepmother bad been own slater to Newton'a great-grandfather, and with this kinship established the young man felt emboldened to tell of hla find ing the rubber boots la the anow. Then Clnda related with many apologies to Annt Ann. who considered ber exceed ingly careless, bow she bad gone forth that same day to walk lu the anow with her new boota on, how the baker's dog bad chased her with rlclous leaps until she had desperately withdrawn her new boota and thrown them at him. Of coarse the Pundermana' party was a great success. It always la. The yellow coach had appeared a most lux urious equipage smothered In sereral of Newton Aahford'a buffalo robes, and Annt Ann waa assured that the pride of her house waa still maintained. Clnda danced with Newton Ashford so many times that both Little Hirer and Deepford nodded their heads and said ft looked as If Clnda Meirtn had fount somebody to suit ber. It all turned out aa such a romance will end "when there la a pumpkin yellow coach drawn by two white animals, a fairy godmother (Aunt Ann didn't know It, bat that's what .abe waa) inside with the prettiest girl yoa ever saw, named Clnda. and a little lost bit of footgear to be fitted and found perfect. Newton and Clnda were married, and the yellow coach was their wedding coach, and tbey were rery happy Indeed. Newton al ways calls ber Cinderella.

Rstiana Absorbed in Much Mooted Question at Present CHAMPION'S BIG ADVANTAGE Title Holder Taller, Hssvier and Hsa Longw R.aoK Than, Again, s Coed Littlo Man Cannot Beat a Osad Big Man. ' ' Can 8am Langford by any poeslble manner wrest the world's besry weight title from Jark JubnsuoT' Tula la ine perplexing qwetlon that la wur rylng the Ogbtlng fraternities on botb eontlnenu. The plain fart that these black men ao far orerabadow tbelr rt rala at present thst tbey are the only gladiator flt to battle for the title forces the Issue. Sifting It down liner, rsn a good little man beat a good big man? II is tory auswera emphatically no. Nev ertheless in this parUmlsr esse many close and amart atndenta of the sport feel that precedent will be reversed. All scknowledxe thst Jack Jobosoa is a great Ogbter, tbongb skeptics claim that In beating Jeffries be lick ed only a abell of a great man. Every one wbo bas seen Kam Lsngford st full speed admits willingly thst be ta wonderful flgbter. Whether be can npaet tradition and cold calculation la the burning ort question. Scanning tbe measurements of botb men, flgures fsror Johnson greatly. Ills height glvee him an adrantage of Ave and tbree-quarter Inches. When feeing a smaller man Johnson bss only to throw bl bqdy back and the smaller msn suffers great disadvan tage. Attacking a' smaller rival, be towers orer tbe latter and makes nse ful advantage of bis length. In sgUI ty be ts no man's understudy, and for cleverness be stands supreme. If be and Langford meet In tbe mid die of a ring there will be a startling aurpiiae for tbe apertatora. Tbelr 0rt Impression will be.

Langford, built as be Is, with all bia maaslve strength stored wltbln email space, could aaaimllate) terri ble punishment before he would stop tearing after that vital part of Joba- Langford was outpointed by Joe Jeannetteln New York recently. Jean nette'e left bsnd Jsb slowed up Sammy considerably. Thta battle proved that ny msn with a good left jolt can wor ry Langford. Now, if Jeannette with llgbt atab could alow up Langford wbat would man like Jobnson. wbo bss a terrible Jsb. do to tbe Tsr Bsbyf Then another thing Langford ta a a easy msn to resell with aa uppereut Uow could be keep away from Jobo son's left and right hand head rockers It waa Johnson's left and right upper cuta that really beat Jeffries. The Johnson who met and defeated Jeffrie would atow away Sammy Langford with hla terrible left Jab and heavy nppercuts. Jobnson ts keenly disappointed be cause Carl Mo trie, tbe erstwhile white hope, was drubbed so soundly by the Pueblo Ore man. Jim Flynn, In New York recently. It lesves the alt nation with regard to tbe heavyweight title practically unchanged and with nn white man In eight wbo could bope U aucceaafully cope with tbe champion. Flynn. undoubtedly a good fighter, to no mstrb for Jobnson. aa waa prov ed by their fight tn San Francisco on Nov. 2. ia0T, when Jobnson knocked out Flynn In eleven rounds. Compe tent Judges wbo saw that battle are on record aa saying that Johnson could hsve turned the trick In three rounds or even less hsd be so desired. Flynn Is a good little msn. but Jobnson ts a good big msn. and that tells ths story.
