BELIt- ir; FAIRIES. A young 1 n dy recently consulted me, as a specialist, on tho problem of tho existence of bad fairios, writes Andrew Lanr:, in the Chicago American. Amer-ican. As she had only seen four Mimmors, I replied that only good fairies have a place in the scheme of things which wo call nature. The e.isteno . " fairies is occasionally occa-sionally called in quesiinn by tho little; lit-tle; girls of a skepl'tl age. Little boys oppear to I unconcerned with tho subject ; their thoughts aro entirely en-tirely occ ;ied by machinery, motors, tele; ' ones nnd steam engines, en-gines, nnd if t'.oy chance to bo timid their iimigiij.ljon can create no nocturnal noc-turnal terror mote interesting than the figure of tho common burglar. To reassure them, I am accustomed to say that there n.o no such things as burglars, adding the acceptable argument that I never s..w a burglar, and never knew r.ny person who did see one. This argument usually reassures re-assures tho infant rationalist; though, speaking as n logician, 1 do not think so highly of it as some philosophers.
