To the Greek peasant girl is com- | mitted the care of her father’s flock, | which she must lead every day to the | | pasture and fold at night. The vosko- | poula, or shepherdess, is one of the | most prominent characters in rural | | folk song, and many a charming idyl | | has been composed in her honor. . . « | But she has little time for sylvan dal- | lying, for the sheep and goats must be | milked, and the milk must be convert- | ed into cheese and yiaourti; a delicious | and wholesome sour curd, which is in | great demand in the towns. When the | sheep have been shorn, the wool is bleached and spun, and then knitted and woven into garments for the fam- ily or into cloth for sale. The cotton or flax grown on the farm must also be gathered in their seasons, and pre- | pared for use. The cotton pods are | put through a small hand machine called the mangano, which turns two rollers different ways, and séparates | the fiber from the seed, The instru- | ment next used is the toxevein, a large bow made from a curved piece of wood five or more feet long, the two ends of which are eonnected by a stout string. The cotton is placed loosely, on the string, which is made to vibrate by being struck with a stick, produc- ing a not unmusical sound, This proc- ess detaches the particles of cotton, and it is now ready to use as wad- ding for the large quilts, which, with a sheet tacked to the under side, form all the winter bed covering used by the lower orders of natives of every race. The mattresses are also usually stuffed with cotton, and the palliasses with¢#he husks of-Indian corn, Too Much. Prospective:Buyer—Is there hot wa- ter in your house?

FARMERS UNION WAREHOUSE MILLING & ELEVATOR CO., itd ee aes ag FADIALAA.E The Chronicle for Butter Wrappers, Legal Blanks, Commercial Printing of Every Kind The Story of the Seven Swans Once upon a time there was a beautiful little Princess Tweedle- dee, who" lived with her father and seven younger brothers in “The Kingdom. of the Seven Dials,” so’ called. because out in’ the great: courtyard. of the palace there wasa sun dial erected for every Prince. In a neighboring country call- ed “The Land of the Bouncing Bull” because of the Queen’s pet witch who lived in a large crystal ball and kept eternally bouncing, there lived a Wicked Queen. This wicked Queen wished to gain the Kingdom of the Seven Dials for: herself, and in order to do this she arranged for her son, as wick- , ed as herself, to marry the Prin- cess, At last the betrothal was an- nounced and the Wicked Queen, her witch, and the bad son made the journey to the Kingdom of the Seven Dials for the engage- ment festival, which was custom- ary in those lands and which be- came a time of dancingand fe ast- ing for all the inhabitants. Every one was happy except the Princess Tweedledee herself, who hated \. the Queen’s wicked son and his mother, and unfortunately so for- got her dignity as to soundly slap tone of her subjects. For this she was sentenced to prison. Now although the Wicked Queen had succeeded in getting. the Princess out of the way, she realized that until the Seven Princes were disposed of she could not hope to get control of the kingdom. So she summoted her Witch. The Witch disguised her- as'a beautiful woman and pre- tended to be drowning in the large pool in the Palace Court- yard, making such a fuss and "to. do that every one of the seven brave princes plunged in to rescue her. But on account of their good- ness and kindness, instead of drowning, as she had hoped, they turned into seven beautiful white swans. At the Orpheum Thursay Feburary 27th. Admission 20c and 30c.
