'V Far up in the frozen north, in the land of the midnight sun. there is a wonderful race of fairy folk, known a* the underground people, or the little oeoDle of the hills. Oh, but they play queer mtics and marry pranks, these wee brown folk, clad in dusky suits, just the color of the earth in which they live, wearing on their feet tiny glass slippers, and furry caps of brown finished with a silver bell adorning each elfin head. These caps are possessed of magic power, which makes the wearer quite invisible to mortal eyes. So, though one often hears on a moor?light night a soft whispering and low rustle while walking through a lonely forest or over a moonlit meadow land strewn with flowers?yes.though one often sees by daylight the grass pressed down by the tread of dancing feet the night before?one never sees the elves themselves, unless he be lucky enough to And either one of the little caps or its silver bell, lost by some careless dancer. Now a shepherd lad of Norway had heard so much of these little folk of the hills that on one St. John's Eve he made up his mind to wait for the fairy folk all night ou the top of a very high hill, which was their favorite dancing place. "Who knows," thoueht he. "I mav be lucky enough to find one of their magic caps." As soon as the night fell, on this magic night of all the year, the shepherd stole away to the top of the hill, and lying down in the very deepest shadow he could find waited in silence for the fairy folk. Exactly at midnight the chiming of silver bells and a gay mingling of chatter and laughter sounded over the lonely hill top, then a rustle through the grass, and then a whizzing and a buzzing that showed very plainly that the little folk were whirling round and round in the dance, tumbling and -sporting in the moonlight, playing all sorts of merry pranks and tricks. The shepherd could not see any of this merrymaking, you know; he could only hear the mirth and merri, ment; but all of a sudden something cool and slippery touched his hand, and one of the little folks set up a great cry?"Oh. my bell, my bell! I've lost my little silver bell!" You may be sure the shepherd lost no time in slipping that bell in his pocket, for of course that was what had touched his hand as it had rolled from the cap of its tiny owner. Now he could see the little folk running hither and thither in the most distracted manner. One little fellow was in great distress. He peered in the hearts of the wild roses, he poked his wee finger into the bluebell's cup. and searched every blade of grass. All in vain, however. He could not find his silver bell. The shepherd in the meantime, knowing what a prize he had found, was running down the hill as fast as he could, and never once did he pause till he was safe in his own cottage. He tried the magic power of the bell the very next morning, when he led his sheep out to pasture, and found that all he had to do to guid? his sheep was to wish the way t.hi>y should go. and then ring the silver bell. A?. once the sheep would meekly turn in the direction he wished. "My! but this saves me a lot of trouble and work," said he. "I will have to be given something pretty good before I give up this treasure." Now the poor little elf who had lost his bell was having a pretty hard time, for not one wink of sleep could he get until he found it. Thee. too. by laws of his race, he could not come to the upper world in the daytime in his true form. So he scurrie<1 over the hills and through the valleys of Norway in every form of an imal; he flew through the air, disguised as a bird; he crawled on th<; ground as a little green snake; hfwiggled in the earth as a wee little worm; and, in the shape of a man, he even made his way into churches, houses and barns, searching everywhere for his lost bell. So passed many a weary day. and the little elf had grown quite thin and ill, and his eyes fairly popped out of his head with weariness. But one day it happened that in the form of a bird he was flying low over a meadow where a hock of sheep was grazing. Some of the sheep had -bells on their necks, which rang with a soft tinkle tinkle, tinkle, as they moved about. "There's just a 'hanee that my bell is here," thought the weary little elf: and in a soft bird carol he gang this little sad song: 'Alas, my little silver boll! Pretty sheep, if you can t<>ll Where is hid my silver boll. Toll me quickly now 1 pray! T have not slept by night or dav Since mv bell was taken away." The boy who was keeping the sheep heard the words of this song very plainly; and luck at last was with the little elf, for he was the very shepherd who had run off with the ??I?????i bell, and it was now safe hid In his pocket. Just at this moment the sheep started restlessly to scatter about the field, and. in order to bring them together, the boy rang the magic bell. At the first sound of its sweet tinkle the little cif knew that his search was ended; but he also knew that he would have need of all his cunning to win the bell from the shepherd. He at once flew down to a neighboring thicket, and changed himself, in the twinkling of an eye, to an old woman dressed in shabby, ragged clothes, who with sighs and groans, limped across to the shep- ( UCI U. "Bid you good morning," said she in a cracked, tremulous voice. "Can you tell me how I can get to Bergen?" The shepherd still held the bell in his hand, and, as he turned to answer her, the old woman exclaimed: "Well, well, did ever a body see such a pretty little bell! And the merry tinkle that it has! Why, it takes the lameness out of these old legs of mine! Come, my gentle lad, I'll buy the bell from you at any price." "Oh. no you won't, grandmother," i said the boy, with a laugh. "Money j could not buy my bell. See bow the (sheep obey its silvery notes!" And. sure enough, at its gentle tinkle all the sheep turned to follow where it led. "And see how all care and wor- i rv vanish at its merry chime! Why, I have never known real joy until I owned this bell. I'd not give it up for all the gold in the world." "Perhaps the sight of gold will do more than its sound," thought the shrewd old woman; and, stretching | out a handful of gold pieces, she said, j "Gold will buy much joy for theyoung, but will not give back health to the old, as the little bell does. See, I'll give you ten times this sum for the bell." The shepherd was a kind-hearted lad, and he really felt very sorry for the little old woman, and he said: "No, gold will not buy my bell; but ptrhaps you can give me something elst that will take its place." He bega^ to suspect now that the little elf sttod here in the guise of this feeble oJd woman. "Certainly, I can," said the old woman, and drew from under ^her ragged cape a little white stick, on which were carved Adam and Eve, surrounded by their flocks, in the Garden of Eden. ' "This shall be yours in place of the bell. The cattle you drive with It shall always be fat and well. As long as you own this stick, you will succeed in everything you undertake. You will grow wealthy, you will "be wise and good, and you will marry the most beautiful woman in the world." "Ah!" said the lad, "now I will give up my bell; and may you, good mother, be as happy with it as I have been." So saying, he laid the bell in her outstretched hand. To his amazement, she at once vanished from his sight, leaving him staring at the place where she had stood; but the little white stick in his hand commenced at once to work its wonders. For these little people of the hills do not dare to lie; all sorts of dreadful punishments await them, if they do. They are changed into moles, bats, snakes and all sorts of unpleasant creatures, and cannot resume their own shapes until they have kept their word. The shepherd rubbed his eyes in wonder as he saw his flock of twenty sheep increase until it filled the great meadow, and his one dog turn into a dozen that ran hither and thither, keeping the great flock in ord-sr. His own rough clothes fell from him, too, and he stood in rich garments, talking to two shepherds about the care they must give his flocks and his herds. He walked homeward dazed and astonished at his own good fortune; and in the place of his humble little cottage there stood a great mansion, with servants waiting to do his bidding. Then. too. and this was perhaps the best of all, he was given wisdom to manage well all the wealth that had so suddenly come to him, and kindness of heart, so that he did much good with his money. Is it any wonder, in view cf all the srood things that came to him through the little silver bell, that the children of the far north love very dearly and are always looking out for the little people of the hills??Christian Register.

One of the foremost book shop men in New York said yesterday: "Write an article on Red Tape vs. Economy in the United States Navy When a ship goes out of commission for repairs, or for any other purpose, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, everything loose, including the library, is removed to the storehouses. When the impedimenta from several ships have accumulated they are advertised and sold to the highest bidders, the books in lots of from 5000 to 15,000 volumes. Many of these books are of high character, and when sold are as good as new. The Government receives but 'little from their sale. When the ships are again commissioned tneir libraries are filled with new books at great cost, many being identical with those sold."? New York Press. Free Advice.

' A Massachusetts man has come to the rescue of those who do not like to carry an armful of assorted bundles. He has devised a receptacle which when open is a spacious square .Ax ^ box with a rope handle and which can be folded into the space a thin magazine would occupy. The receptacle is made so that its walls fold in and lie flat on the. bottom. It can be of either heavy paper, heavy canvas or metal, and can be manufactured cheaply enough to enable progressive merchants to keep a stock for use in place of paper bags and other receptacles which are unhandy to carry. By the rope handle it can be carried as easily as a leather bag, and will be a boon to commuters and other people who cannot wait for the delivery wagons. This device will also make a serviceable and convenient lunch box, for those who take, their [ lunches to and from work. A mqtal box of this description will be found useful in a hundred different ways.? Washington Star.

Help Run Its Business. WISHES TO PREVENT OUSTER Remarkable Proposition For State Control Was Submitted to the Supreme Court?Company's Attorneys Hope For Acceptance. Jefferson City, Mo.?Rather than De driven from the State under the auster decision of the Supreme Court the Standard Oil Company of Indiana has proposed that the State of Missouri go into partnership with it ill the management of its Missouri busiaess. The remarkable proposition for State control was submitted to the Supreme Court. The brief proposes chat: "A new Missouri corporation be formed which -shall take over all the Missouri property of the Indiana company and succeed to all its business in this State. All the stock of the aew company, less enough to qualify directors, shall be issued to and for four years stand in the name of two persons, trustees?one selected by the State and .the other by the Indiana company, both selections to be approved by this court. These trustees shall act as officers this court, sub|ect to its control and direction; so ?rote the stock and keep vigilant supervision over the affairs of the company as to see that it conducts same In a way that is fair, just and lawful and that proper treatment is accorded to the public as w611 as to the property, company and its real owners. "If ever, as to any action to be taken or nursued. the said trustees I cannot agree,' the controversy Nshall be submitted to the judges of .this court, or some one named by them as an arbitrator, the decision of the judges or their arbitrator to be final. "The stock of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company owned by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey shall be sold and transferred to and become the property of the Missouri company thus formed, or in lieu thereof it shall be transferred to ana held by said trustees for the same period." The company's attorneys have hope that the proposition will be accepted.
