"What is ours is ours and what is

idea of the democrats in connection
with the army and the administration
They insist upon a division of the
achievements of the army and demand
their share of the glory reflected upon
the country by the judgment of its gen
erals and the bravery of the rank and
file. The lapses If any are to be charged
to the administration. The inconsis-

have been few, be borne by patriotic

ton whatever with human beings, and
was visited occasionally by the officer,
who would question him about the
crime charged, and who stated to him
that 1t would be better for him to tell
the truth, but did not warn him that
any statement ne might make would
be used against him. The prisoner,
after several days of obstinate denial,
made confession. Upon his trial for
the crime charged, this confession was
used against him, and he was convict
ed, but the conviction was set aside by
the higher court, which held that such
confession was not voluntary, and was

voice so as to make himself heard by who
ever he was talking to. And as time went
by he became more and more sensitive about
his size, until finally he would hardly venture
outside the house for fear Of being hooted at
and called "stumpy" by the street boys.
Now, Raglan was the little giants real
name, but he was generally known by his
nickname of warf, which his brother Bling
had given him when a child. Warf was
simply the word for dog in the giant Ian
guage and it bad fixed itself to him owing
TO hIs.youthful habit of biting when eased.
If you will utter the word 'warf" quite
forclbly you will hear how much 1t sounds
like the bark of dog.
Up to the age of % nothing particular
happened in the life Of Raglan, or Warf.
Then he took very important step-he mar
ried. To be sure, he did not marry because
he wanted to, but he was nevertheless just
as much married as though he had ceased to
be a bachelor from choice. Warf married
because the law required all giants to take
a wife before their twenty-fourth year. He
had never set eyes on his bride before the
day OF the wedding, as she had come from
great distance and he had left the counting
to his parents. The task Of getting a wife
for Warf had been by no means an easy
one, as none of the giantesses of the neigh
borhood would consent to marry giant only
20 feet tall. Consequently they had been
forced to go to the very end of the country

asked Warf.
Because she wouldn't go to bed at the
proper time"
warf groaned, but made no reply. A
month later he and the little giantess were
married.
Now, WARTS marriage turned out exceed
lngly happy so far as he and his wife were
concerned, but his son David who was born
after several years, gave him a great deal
of trouble. David resolutely refused to go
to bed at the proper time and all Warts
efforts to make him do so proved fruitless.
You see he had inherited the unfortunate
tendency of both parents in this respect, and
no inducement was strong enough to get him
to bed before he had become so sleepy that
he could no longer resist.
In consequence David grew even less than
Warf, ceasing altogether when "a feet In
height, and Warf was compelled to travel
through the country looking for wife short
enough for David, just as his father and
mother had searched for him. Moreover,
when the giantess was found 1t turned out
that her growth was stunted In the same
manner as Davld's-she had refused to go to
bed at the proper time.
Now, David became a celebrated writer,
and as he always signed his books ID.
Warf," having adopted his fathers nick
name for literary purposes, people finally
began to use the word dwarf" to designate
a very small person.
Unfortunately Davld's son inherited the
same unwilllngness to go to bed early, and

accidents for which they were hardly re-
Rponsible and which caused them the keen
est regret-especially in the case of the COW,
as they were inordinately fond of milk.
Now, you would doubtless be surprised
were I to tell you that 1t is from this race
that the dwarfs are descended. Yet such Is
the case. 1t came about In this way. In
the time of which lam speaking one Of the
families of giants consisted of FIVE sons and
three daughters, besides the father and
mother. The youngest Of these sons-and, in
fact the youngest of all the children-was
named Raglan, and he was spoiled quite as
badly as it was possible for a baby" to be
spoiled. s4
You are running that boy" Father Giant
often said to his wife, but she only replied:

''or else you'll never grow upto be decent
size. Look at you now, 10 years Of age al
ready and only 20 feet tall. Aren't you
ashamed of yourself?'
"Humph!' Raglan would grunt in return,
with eyes half closed. 81 don't care-plen'y
time-to-grow. Bing's only-four feet
taller. Plen'y time"
But Raglan's father was right. The boy
grew very little taller, ceasing altogether
when 20 feet in height. Then, when too late,
he wished he had taken his fathers advice
and gone to bed at the proper time. But
wishing didn't make him a single inch
taller, and he was forced to go through life
looking up at everybody and raising his

before finding a proper mate for him-the
one selected was only two feet taller than
he. She readily consented to marry Warf,
although she had never seen him, for none
of the giants of that part of the world
would so much as look at her on account
Of her, tiny size.
How tall Is she?" anxiously asked Warf
when his parents returned home at the end
of their search.

phantly.

his son and grandson in turn, so that the
family of dwarfs grew shorter and shorter,
until finally after many, many years they
became smaller even than ordinary people
and shrank into the little race of workers
who live on the inside of the mountains and
work In iron and brass. And the only reason
they became so small was because warf re-
