The Enchanted Hen.
0
N'CE upon a time there was a poor
man who, when he made his will.
had nothing to leave his children but
three hens.
This man had two sons, Peter and
Pinto, and a daughter named Elsa.
Soon after he made this will the old
man died, and the sons took their hens
and started to the city to sell them.
"We will take the money and buy a
new coat; we can take turns in wear
ing it," they said.
Elsa did not know what to do with
her hen, but the night before the broth
ers started for the city she heard them
planning to take her hen also and sell
it, which woujd leave her without any
thing. -
So Elsa stole out after her brothers
were asleep and took the hen into her
room and shut it in the closet. When
Elsa went to the closet the next morn
ing she was surprised to find that her
hen had laid a golden egg. "You can
not eat -this." said the hen, "but you
can take it to the city and sell it for
more than your brothers will get for
their hens. But do not tell how you
came by it." , '
Elsa went to the city as the hen di
rected and sold her golden egg. Then
she bought a handsome dress and a new
hat and shoes and some food for her
dinner and returned home before her
brothers.
Peter and Pinto had taken their hens
to market and sold them; then they
went to a shop and bought a handsome
coat, but they could not decide which
one should wear it nrst; so the snop
keeper decided that, as Peter was the
older, he should wear it first, and when
he was half way home he should let
Pinto wear it the rest of the way.
When they reached the place where
Pinto was to have the coat, Peter did
not want to take it off. This made
Pinto angry, and he pulled the coat.
trying to get it, and in the struggle it
was torn, and before Pinto could get
it on a robber came out of the woods
and stole the coat and ran away.
The next day the hen laid another
golden egg, and Elsa went to the city
to sell it. While, she was gone the
brothers stole the hen and started to
the city. "This time we will divide the
money," they said, "and there will be
nothing to quarrel over.
But on the way Peter, who was car
rying the hen under his arm, suddenly
felt something very heavy, and, look
ing, he found he was carrying a stone.
This made him very angry, and he
threw it on the ground and declared
that Pinto had in some way stolen the
hen and put the stone in its place. They
began to dispute over it, and Elsa saw
them on her way back from the city.
"What are you quarreling about?"
she asked.
Peter and Pinto did not want to tell
her they had stolen her hen. so they
said: "We were looking for you and
were trying to decide whether we had
better keep on or go back, as it is get
ting late."
Just then something grunted beside
Elsa, and, looking down, she saw a nice
fat pig, for the stone Peter had thrown
to the ground had become a pig. i
Elsa pu$ a piece of string around Its
neck and led it home, for her two broth
ers did not dare claim it after what had
happened.
The hen was in the yard when they
arrived home, and Elsa did not suspect
anything, but that night Elsa heard a
noise, and when she looked out of her
window she saw her bi other tying her
pig and the hen into a bag. She ran out
and tried to stop them, but they pushed
her away and ran down theroad.
Peter and Pinto had not gone far
when the bag became so heavy that
they could not carry it. "Let us open
it and see what is the matter. That pig
and hen should not be too heavy for
us to carry, said Peter.
When they opened the door the hen
and the pig had disappeared, and in
their place they found twd" rocks. The
brothers looked at each jother. Each
suspected the other, and they began to
quarrel. iMsa, looking down the road
saw them and hurried to see what had
happened. But Just as she reached the
bag a cow and horse stood in place of
me two stones, and Elsa led them home.
The wicked brothers followed, and
were surprised to see the pig and the
nen waiting lor them in the yards.
iou are very wicked boys. said
Elsa; "you stole my hen and Die and
lert me to starve, but you are my broth
ers, and I cannot have you sent to
prison. What shall I do with them?'
she asked, turning to the hen, who, by
mis time, nasa knew was enchanted.
"Make them work," replied the hen
that is the best thing for boys who
will not behave, and the next time they
try to steal me or anything else on this
farm they will find something worse
tnan stones, for they shall become
river and run forever without being
ame to sup ror a second.
Peter and Pinto began to tremble.
and promised to be good and help Elsa
about the farm if the hen would not
turn them into a running river.

Practicing to Kill.
V HAT is that noise?" was asked
W as a muffled roar and the
sharp crack, crack of musketry filled
the air.
"That's the soldiers on the rifle-
range practicing," replied one of the
little party out for an afternoon stroll.
They have rifle practice every day.
They are raw recruits, most of them.
and don t know how to shoot."
And so they spend their time
practicing to kill people," commented
the first speaker. "It is necessary for
them to become expert is it, in the art
of shooting down their brothers? They
musi icarn 10 snoot to Kill
ine otner laughed a bit uncom
fortably. "I don't know that it is
exactly that," he replied.
"But what is it then?" persisted the
questioner. "That is what they are
doing. isn't it? Learning to atooot
straight so they may be sure to kill the
one they aim at? And spending a lot
of good money in the bargain money
mat couia De used to better purposes.
"We don't put it just that boldly any
way,- ne smnea.
"Maybe it would be better Jf we did,"
was suggested, "we surround the sub
Ject with flags and brass bands and
brilliant uniforms and our gaze and
thought are fixed on the glitter instead
of on the fact that we are training
a good many thousand young men to
shoot straight so they may be sure to
kill the persons they aim at. We are
really milng their minds and hearts
with the thoughts of hate and murder
and revenge, though I think It can
be said to the credit of the boys in
the Army that few of them entertain
these thoughts until they get into the
heat cf the fight. In the main.
imagine they merely think it great
sport. But nevertheless, when we
choose to kill, these are the underlying
tnougnts.
"But we must be prepared for war,"
contenaea ins man.
"Haven't we grown-up enough yet
that we do not need to use fists to
settle differences? When you are boys
you fight it out. But when you are
men that is, really men, not grown-up
boys you reason it out. You know
what you think of men who fight or
even duel nowadays. Why can t na
tlons put away childish things?"
"Of course, it would be much better,"
aamittea tne otner, "tr difference
could be settled by tribunals."
"It would not only be the better way
dui reaiiy tne only just way. A na
tion may be right but too weak to
prove the Justice of Its cause by force
oi arms. Ana so the stronger is vJc
torlou3, though maybe altogether in
the wrong. A tribunal would, or should,
give Its verdict for the right. And
surely that is what the civilized world
ought to want to triumph. And so,
arbitration would not only do away
with war and the cost and awful sor
row and suffering of It, but it would
help forward the cause of right and
Justice. The small nation would come
into its own and not be trampled upon
continually by stronger peoples and
live always under the cloud of in
justice." "It will come some day," soothed
the man.
"Not while we continue to glorify
that," the speaker replied as the sound
of another volley broke the stillness.
"If every one of us would see it for
what it Is practicing to kill someone;
if every one of these soldier boys would
see at the destination of his rifle-ball
a writing, suffering form, no matter
what color or nationality, I think It
would help the wax spirit to die out. It
seems to me if sucii views were enter
tained by every ofie of ua and that
means you and me. and all of 'us here,
as well as our neighbors we can't put
the responsibility on someone else it
would help bring about the true under
standing of what war Is and strip from
it the false glory that has been given
it. And when we get tbis true picture
of war, will it not in. itself help to
bring about a widespread desire for
general arbitration?"
'Ferhapa. But along with the re
pulsion for killing people which I think
we all feel, must be a genuine love to
have Justice done where there are mat
ters' at dispute."
But deep in our hearts, don t we all
want that?" was asked.
'Deep in our hearts, perhaps. But I
am afraid we do not always look deep
enough, just as we do not always fol
low the rifle-ball to thie man whom it
wounds or kills."
No." the little group- admitted. "We
eed the far-seeing vision in many
things to get at the real truths of life.
But since truth brings so much beauty
and good, why no strive Co see it?"
Fashion Notes
THE woman who appears In riotous
shades of tango and red will be

military styles prevail. The Cossack
coat is especially popular.
Long sleeves of satin are seen in
many ol trie new aresses oi serse auu

under the pleated tunic of the ma
terial.
The materials most favored this sea
son are serges, poplins, oroaacioins
and gaberdines.

Suit coats are longer. The best ones
are from 35 to 45 inches in length.

REALTY BUYERS CAUTIONED
Prosecutor Calls Agents' Attention
to Brokers Wlio Are Frauds.
In his speech before the Portland
Realty Board yesterday on "Timely
Suggestions" Walter H. Evans, Distrlcf
Attorney of Multnomah County, recited
many human interest stories In giving
the inside of happenings in a prosecu
tor's office.
"There is a nefarious practice." said
Mr. Evans, "among detectives to test
each other's ability by counting up the
numDer or desperate criminals that
they have 'sent over.' As a result they
are always trying to convict defendants
of the most heinous crimes possible, in
order that they may have a good
standing when their promotion is being
considered.
"We have convicted 11 real estate
men and I don't know any other pro
fession except the lawyers that has so
bad a record, but they were for the
most part curbstone brokers, not wor
thy of the real estate title," continued
Mr. Evans. "And they are not of the
type that are accepted to membership
of the Portland Realty Board."
The board secretary, F.. L. Purse, ex
plained that the advertisement, "Cau
tion. Buyers," run daily in The Orego-
nian, had saved prospective buyers at
least J10.000 on worthless purchases.
W. A. Barnes served as chairman of
tha day.
BABES TO TRY FIRE DRILL
Tots at Albert Inn Kerr Home to Slide
Down Escapes Today.
Today at 2 o'clock, the 35 babies of
the Albertina Kerr home will be put
through a fire drill. "Through" is
good. The Infants are slid down a zinc
chute the top of which is in the
nursery and the bottom of which is
out doors.
By this method the house is cleared
in five minutes.
The chute idea was suggested by Ed
ward C. Jehu after a slight fire scare
last year. It has been successful in
every way. The children in the home
are from the wee, sma' ones to those
20 months old.'
When the fire alarm is sounded the
nurses gather the babies together and
one after the other, they are slid down
the chute onto a mat below where
they are caught by other nurses.
A tag day ror the support of the
home will be held October 8. The day
has been Indorsed by Mayor Albee. As
it is by public contribution that the
rescue work of babies is carried on. It
is hoped by those in charge that the
receipts from the tag day will be
large. George A. Thatcher is chairman
of the Tag day committee.
BANK'S LOSS ON CHECK NIL
Ilibernla Officers Too Shrewd for
Forger Who Wanted $1555.
An item appearing in The Oregonian
a few days ago. headed "Forger Gets
11555," made it appear that the Hiber
nia Savings Bank had suffered a loss
of this amount, when, as a matter of
fact, the bank lost nothing.
The circumstances In the case are
these: A man representing himself to
be Frank E. Turner, of Independence,
Or., appeared at the bank and present
ed a check signed "Frank E. Turner"
and calling for $1655. He wanted to
deposit the check to his credit, but Uie
bank refused. The officers accepted
it only for collection and advanced no
money on it. The check was sent to
the bank at Independence against
which it was drawn and was returned
with the Information that it was a for
gery. Meanwhile the man had bought some
goods in Portland and written checks
against the Hlbernia Savings Bank, but
these checks were not honored. Conse
quently the bank lost nothing. The
authorities are looking for the forger.

Mrs. Baker So Weak Could
Not Do Her Work Found
Relief In Novel Way.
Adrian, Mich. "I suffered terribly
with female weakness and backache and
got so weak that I
could hardly do my
work. When I
washed my dishes I
had to sit down and
when I would sweep
the floor I would get
so weak that I would
have to get a drink
every few minutes,
and before I did my
dusting I would have
to lie down. I got
so poorly that my folks thought I was
going into consumption One day I
found a piece of paper blowing around
the yard and I picked it up and read it.
It said 'Saved from the Grave,' and
told what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound has done for women. I
showed it to my husband and he said,
Why don't you try it ? ' So I did, and
after I had taken two bottles I felt
better and I said to my husband, 'I don't
need any more, and he said ' You had
better take it a little longer anyway."
So I took it for three months and got
well and strong." Mrs. Alonzo E.
Baker, 9 Tecumseh St., Adrian, Mich.
Not Well Enough to Work.
In these words is hidden the tragedy
of many a woman, housekeeper or wage
earner who supports herself and is often
helping to support a family, on meagre
wages. Whether in house, office, fac
tory, shop, store or kitchen, woman
should remember that there is one tried
and true remedy for the ills to which all
women are prone, and that is LydiaE.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It
promotes that vigor which makes work
easy. The Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine:

A. Home Recipe for
Removing Wrinkles
Who will blame) tho modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should Bhe be placed at a disadvantage
In numerous waysTiy wearing wrinkles.
If she can avoid these hateful marks
of advancing age? Few women, how
ever, know what to do to - effectually
rid themselves of wrinkles or saggi
ness. Most of the advertised prepara
tions are unsatisfactory and very ex
pensive. But a very simple and harm
less home remedy, which any woman
can make, will work wonders where
all the patent preparations fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxollta
at any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in a naif pint of witch hazel and
use as a wash lotion. The results are
practically instantaneous. Marked Im
provement Is noticed immediately after
the very first trial. Wrinkles and sag
ging are corrected and the face feela
so refreshed and smug-like. Adv.
