How Wizard's Prediction Turned
5 ' Out to Be Only a Heart
SV' less Joke.
ON'CK upon a time king was no un
fortunate as to fall asleep while a
I ttisard of his acquaintance was telling- a
; Joke. Bo enraged was the old necroman
; rar that he changed himself Into a green
i'.fly and, after stingmg the , king good
and hard, flew out of. the window, leav
- In the monarch howling' with surprise.
' The courtiers came running to ease his
I majesty's pain, but could not help re
marking how dangerous it was to anger
a wisard and predicting: misfortunes for
, the near future. The king: himself felt
- extremely uneasy and for several days
;". Icept wi eye open for trouble, but an
. li&thlng happened he forgot all about the
: inatter. Indeed, everything was going
: very well very well Indeed, for the day
' fter the wizard's disappearance a little j
yy y jrlnces was born and the delight of the
J kin and queen knew no bounds. They
V: v , had seven sons already, but had always
. -wished for a daughter.
"':-V V. ' '.'..J, "
f , The whole kingdom rejoiced with their
''majesties, and half of It nearly came to
the christening. The old wisard had re
Calved an Invitation among the rest, and
tl-'-: It-was not until he leaned over the little
. princess that the kiing remembered the
f:-f--L? inatter of the Joke. He hurried forward.
";: but ha was too late. Holding up one
' V ? finger, (he wizard called at the top of his
. . .Voice:
., , i ''A. princess a pretty princess! She
' Wiall sleep 80 years of her life. He he
he! Ha! Ha! ho!" Laughing wickedly.
' he drew his cloak about him and stalked
out of the castle, leaving gloom and
, consternation behind him. The queen
a called for her smelling salts, the king
' v .-: for hla pipe, and the little princess be
. 1 can to cry bitterly. The news spread
from one end of the realm to the other,
" '. and after that no one mentioned the lit
' tie princess without sadly shaking the
bead.
t
''As for the princess jierself. the poor
i hlld was scarcely allowed to sleep at
1 alU ' For no sooner would she fall asleep
than the royal nurses would Imagine
' the 10-year nap had set In and would at
one awaken her. But, In spite of all
: this, aba had the sweetest temper imagln-
able and seemed, in spite of the wizard's
y prediction, to be as happy and wjde
. awake as the other little children of the
realm.
I 'The court wise men consulted the
tars continually in their efforts to learn
when the 30-ear sleep would begin;; the
king lost the five hairs that used to
: adorn the top of his head, while the
, ojueeri could not sleep at all. Finally,
, the oldest of the wise men, seeing that
v things could not go on in this fashion
without disaster, stated boldly that the
princess would fall asleep In her twen
tieth year and not until then.
. This news cheered the king immensely,
though It could not restore his hair. The
.queen ordered the royal nurses to let the
I little princess sleep undisturbed, and
every one tried to make the princess as
happy as possible, because any one who
was to fall asleep for 30 years surely
deserved a lot of fun before the calamity
happened. '
. .
"I have never known a more delightful
princess nor a lovelier one. By the king's
orders no one mentioned the wizard's
prediction, and the little lady had no
Idea of the awful fate awaiting her.
When the princess was 18 not In alt the
kingdoms for miles about was there a
maiden more beautiful. The king's sons,
' Who often came on visits to her father's
eour,t, fell In love with her one after
the other, but never asked for her hand.
. For they were frightened by the old
tory and who cared to wed a sleeping
beauty, pray? Mournfully they thought
of her and mournfully rode away. After
. a while the princess, who had many
cousins already married or engaged, be
i ran to wonder why no one sought her
; hand In marriage. Surely her father
i was' rich enough well, well, it must be
' that she was too homely, and looking in
;. the (lass she would shake her head
sadly at her beautiful reflection.
Each day that marked the close of the
princess' nineteenth year found the cas
tle more gloomy. "Why Is every one so
kind to me?" she asked the chief lady-tn-waltlng.
The poor woman burst into
tears and rushed out of the room, leav
ing the princess very much puzzled, but
she forget about It directly afterward,
for the aueen was planning a wonderful
ball for the evening before her twentieth
i birthday.
t :. She was to have every one she wanted
j even the gardener's children and the
'1 little lame seamstress who lived in
, i one of the top rooms of the castle. The
ji princess Was very much excited. She
rl had never planned a ball all herself and
, to be able to invite everybody! Well,
It -was splendiferous. While she worked
j! away happily the court servants were
I' always running off to wipe their eyes,
U and the king was put to it to keep his
' ace in any sort of cheerful order at
! alL The day before the' ball, as the
1 i . princess Was sitting under a tree looking
over the list of guests, a king's son rode
Into the courtyard. He had come from
a country far away and knew nothing
of her history. At sight of the winsome
little princess he reined in his horse;
then,' without a word, turned and rushed
into the palace.
"Tf I -wish, to marry your daughter!" he
exclaimed, almost upsetting the king,
Vhom he met on the terrace. The king
. atghed, deeply and then related the old
Story.,' '. "impossible !" exclaimed the
klngs' son, taking another peep at the
. princess, p "Nonsense :"
;?TeU me again Just what the old ras
- cat said 1" Patiently the king repeated
the wizard's sentence. Now. this was
no ordinary young man, let me tell you
he had written a poem and seven books

Supposyville on Safety
gIR SOLOMON TREMENDOUS WISE
Is trying somehow to devise
Some safety skates that will not spill
The elders of Supposyville!
For instance, where the stout ones fall
They simply spoil the sports of ajl.
The baker fell Oh, mercy sake!
He sprained his knee and broke the lake
From side to side, which caused dismay
And stopped all skating for that day.
Sir Solomon was in his path
And also got an icy bath!
Which brought the matter to his mind
Quite- forcibly. "Some way I'll find
To stop such accidents," he wheezed.
"I'll make some safety skates!" he sneezed.
For seven days and nights he thought
And seven different models wrought.
While all the kingdom breathless waits
To see his magic safety skates.

Were summoned for a demonstration.

"Just love and logarithms that's all !"
And that is the end of the story, for.

didn't think that old wizard was a very
bad joker; but, I say, should a wizard
ever tell you a joke do laugh at It
whether it is funny or not It's safer.
Wet Weather

to a doll's constitution to be out in a

but the entrance to their little kingdom
was not large enough for him to get
through, so he wandered out of the
nursery and somehow managed to find
his way into the bathroom. Ted found
him there and proceeded to shave off
every single bit of his beautiful silk
mane with the safety razor. He looks
very queer, but Dr. Dollby hope he will
be able to make him another one. Mean
time he's under the end of the radiator
and he won't come out. I don't blame
him, do you?
Dr. Dollby

large quantities since Christmas and a
needle and thread is a very necessary

The holiday's past
And the girls and the boys
Have gone back to school.
And the tired little- toys
Are so simply played out
They will sleep for a week
Too exhausted to move dears
And ducksor to squeak 1
"
Skates
The king, who was quite stout, agreed
To try the safety skates. "You need
Feel no alarm," the old sage chuckled
As carefully the skates he buckled.
A rod ran from the right-foot skate
Up to the shoulder. "These feel great!"
The Jolly king exclaimed, and spun
In circles. "Try a double one,"
Called Solomon. The rascal knew
A double circle always threw
His majesty. The king essayed
A double circle, then dismayed
Began to fall, but, oh, my word!
Just then the strangest thing occurred.
From out the rod a pair of wings
Opened like lightning. Pshaw! the king's
Surprise was comical to see
They held him 1ip quite easily.
Then, when his balance was restored,
They closed, ears, of their own accord.
And since that time in S'posyvllle
There hasn't been a single spill!
(For they all wear safety skates.)

A Queer Accident
Elsie Wooden Doll was shut up in the
folding bed for three days. She is feeling
very faint from her experience and all
the roses have left her cheeks.
Baby Blue Eyes fell out of her high
chair and bumped her pretty nose on the
stone porch.
Dear, dear 1 It made quite a dent in
her nose, I mean.

or dolls on the tracks of your electric

cheek and Teddy a torn paw from just
such an accident. i
Clothes
When you choose the clothes for your
doll, do not get heavy underwear that Is
not warm, but the lightest, wannest you
-can find. It is not good to wear clothes
just because they are heavy; It makes
the dollies all tired out. Also see that
your dolls have on shoes and stockings.
As I have said before, nothing Is so mor
tifying to a doll's pride as bare feet or
stockings witlf boles. . y .
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Lecture
A tectvr on Chrwttaa adaoos by PmI Staik
Sector, CL S. B., Mamber of the Board of Ic
turathlp of The Mother Church, The lint
Church of Christ. Sdantiat. in Boston, lfus., was
delivered in th Second Church of Christ, 8ri
eotiit, Mondaj and Tnaaday aTanincs. The lae
tura follows:
MART BAKER EDDY, the Discoverer
and Founder of Christian Science,
was the child of Puritan parents. She
grew to womanhood among the hills and
vales of New Hampshire, the Granite
State, possessing a rare personal
charm, culture and affection for the best
things of life. She had ever shown an
unusual love for the Bible teachings and
early in life accepted implicitly its won
derful promises of health. With the
years of womanhood came sorrow, sep
aration from dear ones, and prolonged
illness. From every trial she turned the
more resolutely in search of that certain
law of healing which she believed a cor
rect understanding of God would bring.
In this search the theories of allopathy,
or regular medicine, were explored in
vain, then homeopathy, a step away from
mere drugs toward a more mental form
of healing, and afterwards hydropathy.
Mrs. Eddy recognized after years of
investigation and experiment that this
certain law of healing was not to be
found in any of the accepted systems,
and she then turned away from the ma
terial and human to the spiritual and
divine.
It was in 1868 that Irn. Eddy over
came a serious injury through reliance
on spiritual, as wholly apart from ma
terial, law and became convinced of the
present availability of this law for suf
fering humanity. For three years there
after she studied the Scriptures most dil
igently and from them derived a fuller
understanding of this spiritual law of
life and its applicability to every need of
men. The results of these and the pre
ceding years of consecrated study and
research were given to the world in 1875
through the Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures," which has become, next to
the Bible on which it Is founded, the
most widely read book in the Christian
world.
Clara Barton, founder of the American
Red Cross, wrote of Mrs. Eddy with pro
found admiration. "Love," she says,
"permeates all the teachings of this
great woman so great, I believe, that
at this perspective we can scarcely real
ize how great and looking into her life
history we see nothing but self-sacrifice
and selflessness. Mrs. Eddy should have
the respect, admiration and love of the
whole nation, for she is Its greatest
woman.
CArSE ASD EFFECT j
A sreat statesman has recently said
that the work of uniting the nations in
the bonds of brotherhood is an effort to
enthrone the conscience of the world.
What is this conscience of the world that
we are so desirous of enthroning as our
lawgiver? Is it not the collective or com
mon consciousness of right, of justice.
law and love? It is this universal con
science, the common consciousness of
right and good, discerned as yet but
dimly, yet discerned and obeyed in an
ever Increasing measure, wnicn in its
full unfoldment Is "God with us," the
Mind of absolute good. It is the house
of the Lord and, in the thought of the
prophet, all the nations of the earth are
mentally flowing into it Job discerned
this Incorporeal and unlimited sense of
God and spoke of God as being in one
Mind. Christ Jesus spoke of this parent
Intelligence as Father and Spirit. John
regarding the kindness, mercy, and pro
tection of the Father Mind spoke of Him
as Love. "God is Love; and he that
dwelleth in (thinks In ideas or) love
dwelleth In God, and God In him" (I
JtShn 4 :16).
But we only know Mind as we know
Ibe ideas which express it and the high
est of these Is man. The world ts com
ing to honor and to recognize the mental
man, that state or consciousness wnicn
most clearly expresses the ideas oi tne
true Mind or God. Mrs. Eddy has given
an illuminating definition of man in Sci
ence and Health (p. 475), where she says
"He is the compound' idea of God, in
cluding all right Ideas."
Consider If you will why it is that tne
world has recently so honored a small
group of forward looking statesmen,
the peace delegates at Paris. It la not
because of anything physical, -neir
weight, their features, or the color of
their hair. The material is wholly sub
ordinated. What men honor in them is
the mental man, the Individual state of
consciousness which expresses right
ideas. In the proportion that they have
voiced what is right they have struck a
responsive chord in the minds of men
everywhere, for their brothers are per
ceiving, though yet darkly, the truer
sense of manhood and honoring it. This
is In its full unfoldment the spiritual
man, tne expression or uoa, dcbi ex
emplified by Christ Jesus. Man, then.
seen as the creature or Mind, is recog
nized to be simply an individual state of
right-mindedness always thinking in ac
cord with God, the true Mind. He is
the compound idea of God. including all
right Ideas" (Science and Health, p.
475)..
CONCEPT OF MAS REFUTED
Isaiah sought to turn the thought of
his people away from this erroneous
mortal concept of man with the admoni
tion. "Cease ye from man. whose breath
is in his nostrils : for wherein is he to oe
accounted of?" (Isaiah 2:22). In other
words, stop thinking of the mortal, ma
terial sense of man as the true man, for
there Is absolutely no way to account
for him as a creature of God. In Ro
mans 9 :8 Paul makes the perfectly ex
plicit statement. "They which are the
children of the flesh, these are not the
children of God." and elsewhere he
sneaks of the Imperative necessity to
"put off the old man, which Is
corrupt and put on
the new man, which after God is created
in righteousness" (Epheslans 4:zz-z).
Christian Science not only presents the
true concept of man but shows that it is
attainable in some considerable measure
rleht here and right now. It shows that
In each and every one of us, and there is
no exception, no. not one, there ts a
natural ability and competency to men
tally work our way out of the wilderness
of material beliefs, out of the of
terlal selfhood into our natural unity
and agreement with ever present y, -a
Mind, the consciousness which is God,
our real life and being. The process is
wholly mental, as Paul indicated when
he said, "Be ye transformed by the re
newing of your mind" (Romans 12 :2).
Well, then, how does one begin to
apply the teachings of Christian Sci
ence? First of all he begins mentally
to resist evil. He follows the Scriptural
advice to resist the devil, which his
study of Christian Science has taught
bim Is but j the counterfeit evil mind
which tries to operate through evil
thoughts projected into his conscious
ness, or through the physical senses. He
learns to become a sentry at the door
of thought and, to reject every thought
or suggestion Which is not good, is not
an expression of God, the one real Life,
for he has taken his mental stand for
what God has made bim to be and he is
determined to assert and prove his men
tal and living unity with the Mind and
Life which la God. knowing that it la
natural and right for him todo so and
that God has endowed him" with the
ability to do it.
The real meaning of the word heal is
to make whole, to restore to original
integrity. Christian Science alone among
the healing agencies of the present day
accepts this word at its full meaning.
Christian Science not only heals the
mental or physical disorder but sets In
motion those processes of thought which
result inevitably in the 1 restoration of
man to his original Integrity as the tndl-J
Only 40 years ago the first Christian
Science church was organized in Boston.
Since then nearly eighteen hundred or
ganizations have been formed through
out the world. A publishing society em
ploying more than seven hundred people
is supplying the ever Increasing demand
for literature explaining the teachings
of Christian Science. Christian Science
is offering to the world today a volume
of testimony as to the efficacy of its
neaung work unexcelled in the history
of therapeutic systems. From business
men, educators, lawyers, judges. Dhvsl
clans, ministers, and men and women of
ail trades and happiness restored to the
individual. These testimonies mav he
heard in the Wednesday evening meet
ings of the church or read in The Chris
tian Science Journal, the Christian Sci
ence Sentinel, or the Herald which is
published in French and German.
FBATEE
It has already been pointed out that
the practice of Christian Science involves
mental activity, an effort to think in ac
cord with God, the good Mind. This
right mental activity is true prayer and
is the one way by which individual man
can cast off the shades of hell and abide
In heaven. The Bible admonition, "Pray
without ceasing," is then seen to mean
to think rightly always. It Is right
mental activity based on a true concept
of God and man. This is true prayer,
a vital, living, thinking activity.
It is all a mental- process. Every Indi
vidual must sooner or later, here or here
after, learn to pray aright, for only In
this way does he loam to live aright
When one really discerns what true
prayer Is, his prejudices give way and
he perceives It to be the highest Joy
and privilege of man, for it is the as
serting in thought and life of his natural
unity with God.
BIBLE AND SCIENCE AND HEALTH
The Bible and "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by Marv
uaKer n,ddy, the Christian Science text
book, are to the Christian Scientist the
statute books of life. From them he
learns the truth that is science, religion
and medicine. Who can hope to solve
the problem of life while disregarding
the teachings and laws Bet forth by
those wbo have most clearly perceived
the primal facts of being, including the
great Way-shower who overthrew the
claims of incurable disease and of death
with the understanding of spiritual law.
Merely to believe that Christ Jesus once
lived on earth gets one no nearer heaven
than to believe In the personal existence
of Christopher Columbus. It Is the un
derstanding of his teaching and his
methods that saves. The Bible states,
Science and Health amplifies and clari
fies, the teachings of spiritual law.

Wherein Do You Get More
For Your Money Than in
Your Daily Newspaper
Tha sreotnranririf artiela by Richard Bpfllana
In tha Philadelphia, tdtar b of timeljr interact
to all newspaper reader. .
From W. N. Jennings of 1305 Arch
street, Philadelphia, comes the following
communication : -
"Good morning, sir. Tou are always
suggesting better ways of doing things
for other people. So I want to retaliate.
"There is much talk of making ' the
newspapers reduce the number of pages.
"Why not take the bull by the horns
and reduce the else of the Public Ledger
by folding It crosswise and making the
columns run the other way from the
present path? This would make the
paper about the size of the Pall Mall
Gazette and be a boon to railroad and
street car riders, who are nuisance
to their neighbors white turning the
present far-too-large pages. The siso
of the ads could be cut In halfcharging
the present price and they would look"
as big on the half page as they do now
on the whole page. There may be some
dead wall or blind alley to block this
scheme, but If you can see a way to
give us the Public Ledger in large
magazine form, a little bigger than the
Post, with pages cut, so We can turn
them easily bless you."
ITIIE TABLOID IN HISTORY
There la merit but not novelty in Mr.
Jennings' Idea. Thirty years' ago Frank
A. Munsey bought the New York Star
and changed It from standard size to
a fie column newspaper, exactly as
Mr. Jennings suggests. The new paper
was called the Daily Continent.
It was much easier to read than is
the newspaper of today and gaire more
opporunlty to display news. And it gave
a better showing to the Ads.
Mr. Munsey was ahead of his time.
Traffic by subway, surfaco and elevated
road was not so heavy then as now, and
the need of a paper of modern width
was r.ot bo great.
There is one objection lo the news
paper of narrow width. That is in the
increased waste of newsprint by reason
of the additional margin, but that is

much of a job of turning the pages of
a newspaper in a crowded car aa they
would of turning a feather mattress.

As a matter of fact, the newspaper
page has been decreasing In else stead
ily ifor many years.. The newspaper
page of the mldnlneteenth century peri
od was far bigger than the standard
page of today. It was called a blanket
sheet, and Justly so.
By-' the way. It is an open iusstion
whether the public has any appreciation
of the real value of the newspaper.
There is nothing in the world so ch.ai.
You have the panorama of the world
spread before you for 2 cents.
Think of it! Two cents
Why, you'd pay 5 cents for a small
bag of peanuts.
To produce a newspaper like the Pub
lic Ledger (or The Journal) requires
the work of a mighty force. . The
printers, editors, reporters, telegrapher.
carriers, electrotpyers, pressmen ami
office workers generally make up but
a portion of the army. There are pectnl
correspondents and the press represen
tatives in all the news centers the world
over. News gathering and news prenen-
tation have become a very big Industry,
and this great Industry finds expression
In the paper you find at your doorstep
In the morning or -buy from the dealer

The newa: of the world brought to
you for I cents.
What of all that you purchase brings
to you so much for Bo little?
