SELLA
l>y Susie (iiiest
Once there lived a maiden and her ;
name was Sella. Spring came and j
she gathered violets from the fresh
moist banks. She sat within the
shade of a great rock dreaming and
listening to the streamlet s song. She
was very beautiful. She had two
brothers and she thought to hoi self.
**1 wish 1 were like them.
One morning in the early spring,
when all the fields lay white with
frost she came half-breathless where
her mother sat and said:
“See. mother dear, what l have
found upon the river’s bank, two whit *
slippers and my name is written on
them in silver.”
The mother said, “They are a dain
ty pair, but they do not belong to you.
We must lay them by for those whose
careless hands have left them here,
or maybe they were placed beside the
brook to bo a snare. 1 cannot sec* your
name on them. They are of strange
art; nay, daughter, wear them ml.”
Then Sella hung the slippers in the
porch.
One day at noon Sella was missed
from her dinner. They looked and*
looked for her. Next morning came
and Sella was not found. The second
day the mother sat alone at her home*.:
Sella was at her side. Sella said:
**0h, forgive me for going away. 1*
just tried the slippers on to see how
they would fit when all at once 1 felt
my steps upborne and hurried on al
most as if with wings.”
The sea nymphs had taken her into
the bottom of the sea. Then SellaV j
two brothers stole the slippers and •
took them down to the brook and!
threw them in. Then she went to Iook i
for them, but they were gone. She
searched and searched but couldn’t
find them. Then she thought and
said, “My brothers took them.”
She was very, very sorry and wept
bitterly because she loved her life in'
the water. Put she made up her mind
not to mourn but to help the poor peo
ple. She taught men how to tame
the rushing stream and make it drive
the wheel that whirls the humming
THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
|{v Klizabeth Torrey
The high cost of living is the.most
serious problem before the people to
day. We are about to face another I
situation like that of the Civil war.
and maybe worse. Kvery one, of ,
course, is now feeling the immense!
increase, but it is among the poor of
the large cities that it is most severe
ly felt, and in New York it becom
ing alarming.
Several food riots of grog!, "v :o!cne 1
have occurred. Crowd3 of of.;;:orat.)
women have attacked retail dealers
for they think the d -.tiers arc- to
blame, not stopping to think that they j
have to pay more also.
Something must be done, for now
in New York you purchase no more
for a dollar than than before the
European war for twelve cents.
To make things more serious the
food crop last year was below the
average in the United States ami oth
or neutral countries.
The exportation of food from 4h<
United States to Europe has been
about twice as great as it was befor
the war This has a mniVt c;fo»t.
!i not only reduces the supplies her
but ;Jso brings in a vast amount v>l
gv.M which tends to less* r. t’u pur
chus’ng power of our m me,.
Another thing that adds to the high
cost of living is the increase in wages.
It is all right for the man whose
wages are raised, but the man who
earns the same as ever, can not liw\
in comfort.
In a few instances boycotting ha
been successful, once in the ease of
the price of turkeys at Thanksgiving,'
when people generally refused to pay*
*’.*> cents a pound the dmdors soon 1*
came alarmed and lowered their
prices.
Coal prices have been much highe*
than before and in some places could
not be obtained at any price, in spite
of the fact that more coal has been
millstones and that wields the ponder
ous sledge.
And this is the way we came to
know how to use water power.
♦> - -
Attendance has now reached fW.
mined during the past year than cvei
before.
Numerous remedies have been sug
gested, but none have yet proved sat
isfactory.
Various government committees
have been investigating, but have ac
complished nothing whatever. Prices
have continued to rise at an alarming
rate.
New York officials advise the peo
pie to substitute rice for potatoes,
which have soared beyond any one but
millionaires, if you desire to have
Vmerica prepared, raise a garden, for
that is real preparedness.
