he would live and die an old bachelor, and never, never no, never get married! On the road he came to a tiny, wee white cottage all set In a tiny, wee white flower garden. "Hallo, who lives here?" demanded Great Giant. "I do," said a silvery voice. And looking in at the white window Great Giant saw the handsomest little white lady all clothed in the petals of white flowers, standing looking op at him. When, papa's sick, my goodness sakes! Such awful, awful times It makes, He speaks In oh! such lonesome tones, And gives such ghastly kind of groans, And rolls his eyes and holds bis head, And makes ma help him up to bed; "While Sis and Bridget run to heat Hot water bags to warm his feet, And I must get the doctor qnick-We have to Jump when papa's slek.

When papa's nick ma has to stand Right hide the bed and hold bis hand, "While Sis she has to fan an' fan. For he says he's "a dyin' man," And wants the children round him to He there when "sufferln' pa gets And kiss us all and then he'll die; Then moans and says "his broathln's thick" It's awful sad when papa's sick. When papa's sick he acts that way Until he hears the doctor say, "You've only got a cold, you know, You'll be all rlght'n a day or so." Anil then well, say! you ought to see, He's different as a man can be, And growls and scolds from noon to night Just 'cause his dinner ain't cooked right, And all he does Is fuss and kick We're all used up when papa's sick.

And as he spoke he stamped his foot, and he was so big that the whole earth trembled and the Oak Tree said to his neighbor, the Barbed Wire Fence: "Dear nie, dear me, I believe we are going to have an earthquake." Then the Giant went searching and searching all through the world for a real royal princess.

And he was such a great, big, important giant that he was allowed to go anywhere he wished on earth. If he was stopped anywhere he would just frown or stamp his foot; If he happened to be In "Oh, you do, do you?" said Great Giant. "Then come out here and talk to me!" "Indeed I shall not!" said White Lady. "How dare you refuse me!" stormed Great Giant. "I will scrunch you and your white cottage to pieces with a touch of my finger." "No, you could not scrunch me, although I know you could kill my cottage and my body.

But there is a part of me that Is enchanted and you cannot kill that, Mr. Great Giant." "What Is that?" said Great Giant. "My heart and my spirit, and not all your bullying or money can take those from me." And White Lady laughed like a silver bell. "Oh, you little, tiny, wonderful White Lady! breathed Great Giant. "I am afraid of you.

I shall not try to bully you or persuade you to come and talk to me. I shall rest here and try to make you love me Instead. I am certain you are my royal princess for whom I have been searching." And I think White Lady must have been, a royal princess, too. And Great Giant was so humble and so changed and so good, that shy White Lady consented to become his bride. And they bad such a wedding, after which they went off to a castle and lived among Royal Neighbors forever.

McDonald, 3400 Vine Kansas City; Miss Isabell Brinkmau, 2530 Ada St. Louis; HandKerchief Trich Taking a handkerchief the performer shows that nothing is concealed eitber In his hand or the handkerchief, and asks everyone to watch him closely. Rubbing the handkerchief between his hands the audience see it transformed into a billiard ball. To do this trick, procure two ping pong balls, and out of the surface of one of them cut a circular piece, thereby leaving a round hole. Cut the othef ball into halves.

Tut one of these halves over the uncut portion of the other ball. Now, place the ball with its shell as near the edge of the table as possible, and you are ready to perform the trick. Having shown the handkerchief empty, carefully place it on the edge of the table with part of the handkerchief overlapping the servante and covering the ball. Show your hands empty, and again pick up the handkerchief, and, under cover of It, pick up the ball at the same time. Rub the bandkerchief between your hands, and, with the fingers, push it into the ball by way of the hole.

When the handkerchief Is completely inside it, twist the shell over the hole, thus keeping from view the handkerchief inside it. The ball is now held up, when it will look like a highly polished billiard ball. A silk handkerchief Is best for this trick, because silk can be compressed into a very small place. Man's life Is like a winter's day-Some break their fast, and so depart away; Others stay dinner, then depart full fed, The longest age but sups and goes to bed. Ileushaw.

So Great Giant saw many, many princesses, but none of them pleased him altogether. Some of them were too thin, others were too fat, others too ugly, or too proud, or too tall, or too short, or too something or another; for Great Giant had been spoilt, and was very hard to please. He was so bad tempered and tired of searching all the world through that he was on his way home, and there he determined Dear Neighbor Chicks: It's a great pity not to use a nice present when you get one, isn't it? I had a birthday the other day, and father gave me a perfectly lovely fishing-rod, so of course I had to look around for something to fish in. I went down to the kitchen and just as I got there Mary was starting off to clean the steps, so I quietly dropped my line into her pail. "What a joke it'll be if I can catch her scrubbing brush!" I thought.

But oh, Chicks! I didn't catch the scrubbing brush it was the other way round. My hook caught In the brush, and I couldn't Richardson, It. R. No. 5, Washington; Miss Minnie Pronner, 208 West 8th Muscatine- Alice E.
