KEMP’S YARD Bananas, aceording to na- rule, grew one bunch to ‘the tree and from the top LOof the tree, The:atem shoots out from the fronds and on {fhe “end the fruit forms. Nature sometimes defies Precedent and does the unex- pected. Especially does this freakish mood of nature man- ifest itself at times in Key West, as has been written about on many occasions in The Citizen. And now there can be seen in the yard of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kemp, at 310 William Street, another of the vaga- ries of nature. ‘This is a banana tree. Just the usual height of about sev- but with two buncl of banamas instead of one. But the two bunches does not ‘by any means cover the freak- ishness of the fruit. Instead of coming from the top of the bole of the tree, as is the usual course of procedure, these bunches decided to make their appear- ance more quickly than na- ture intended and growing out from the side of the tree about three feet from the ground. Both of the bunches are small but distinct from each other and have been viewed by hundreds of Key West folk and also strangers. The fruit is of the variety known as apple bananas. A little brown elf sided up and tugged at Sapta's hoot, SYNOPIS: Christina, a doll that Mrs. Santa made, is stol- en from Toyland by a witch. The doll’s playmiate, a woolly ‘dog, is left behind. He wears a collar with magic powers. THE HELPFUL FAIRIES (By Associated Press) There was great excitement i: Toyland. You remember, a little \witch had stolen the pretty rag: doll, Christina, appeared up the cloud of smoke. The tiny fairies tried to follow, but the fire on the hearth singed their wings. The white woolly dog tried to peek up the chimney, but the hot coals burned his paws. Santa heard the noise and _c¢: running with all the toy ‘soldiers behind him, stumbling over their | tin swords in their hurry. Mrs. Santa ran ip with her spectacles tumbling off her nose. “Oh, and that was my special doll,” she bewailed. “Never mind, we'll comforted Santa. her so much.” The two had chimney in find “G-g-g-rrr!” said the white) wool-| ly dog up the chimney. So there was a big meeting call- ed in the Toyshop. “Why, we don’t even know what chimney-witch it was,” moan- ed the fairies. “There are many of them. drops fell down their pretty chesks. “It’s clear we must ask help from our fairy friends,” said San- ta. “But who?” zs Then a little brown elf with} bright green buttons on his jack-| et stepped up and tugged at San-! ta’s boot. “Please,” he said, “I think. there are some icicles tapping on that ~ | window.” VIII III ID GOLD MINING REVIVED — IN GEORGIA SECTION (My Annotated Prensa) DOHLONEGA, Ga., Dec, 12.— Higher prices for gold and a Prot: itable strike have revived mining in surrounding mountains to an exter: remindful of boom days a eneration ago.

How will we find this par-| ticular one?” Tiny tears like dew-| Net jasked, “What is it? Can you help{ jus find our doll?” “Certainly, just break us loose here,” said the fairies. ‘So Santa reached up and broke off the icicles and laid them on the win- |dow ledge. Suddenly they all {stood up, a whole group of little, silver fairies. “We can peek in all tine, win- dows where we hang,” they said. “We'll find Christina.” ,», Then the wind! blew a. “whole puff of snow into the rodm, and| iwhere it fell jumped’ up-sixtittle snow fairies. } “We blow up and down chim- jneys,” they said. “We'll hunt, too.” | So the ice fairies and the snow fairies were off in a twinkling and all the Toyshop people stood in. the door and watched them dis- appear in the sky. | ARTHUR 0.
