The Savannah morning news., 1902-11-16

Once upon a time there lived little
prince named Rupert, who had to
study all day.
He found little time to play with the
quantities Of toys he owned.
But one morning the king, his faith
er, called him and said: Rupert,
you have worked faithfully at your
studies; and. as this is your birthday
! will give you a holiday and you may
DO anthing you like"
The little prince was delighted and
ran away at once to play.
He climbed the stairs to his play
room and looked around at his posses
sions.
Hundreds of toys were there. Now
the king had not had Rupert trained
in the art of war, because he said he
wished to set his subjects a good ex-
ample. Therefore. the prince did not
have toy weapons.
There was. however, one gun which
had been given to the prince by his
uncle, the Duke of Bige, and Rupert's
father allowed him to keep it. for fear
of hurting the old dukes feelings.
Rupert now went to where it was
hanging, and took it down. 81 guess
III go out and shoot" he said. He
ran downstairs and out into a lovely
garden enclosed by rose bushes. At
one end of the garden was an elm
tree.

gate and down the road a little way,
and then pointed to a small house.
Go to the door and knock A little
boy named Jack will come to the door,
and you can play with him. He will
receive you as an old playmate. Good
by"
AS she said this she vanished. Ru-
pert went up to the door of the cot
tage and knocked. 1t was opened by
age.
Hello, Benz" said he, the instant he
saw Rupert.
The prince was rather surprised TO
hear himself called Ben" but, re-
Numbering what the fairy had said,
he replied: I've come to play"
Good" answered Jack. Mothers
given me a holiday. She says we can
take our lunch to the pasture and stay
all day"
Why did you have holiday" ask
ed Rupert.
Because it is my birthday" re-
piled lack.
But how can we eat lunch out in
the pasture without any table or
chairs?" said Rupert. The Prince had
never eaten a meal outdoors in all his
prim little life.
"A tablet We don't need a table.
Why, We sit on the ground of counsel"
exclaimed Jack scornfully.
He disappeared into the house and
soon appeared Juggling an old market
basket.
Come along and I'll show you an
old apple tree l saw the other day
when 1 was driving the sheep home"
said he.

that he did not respect his clothes. or
comprehend his language, or regard his
appearance, or admire his rOyalneSS.
At these words the little girl laughed
as loudly as she could for skipping
But the King gave vent to a terri
Bile moan that sounded like an ele-
plant enjoying a twin toothache, and
he gave such a skip that the entire
domain of Skip-a-Land lost it's balance
and tipped away over on one side.
At this frightful and enjoyable mo-
ment, Skip-a-Land happened to be i'm
mediately over the North Pole, which
was sticking up straight in the air,
and it ripped a large hole into the
country, through which the King fell
with ludicrous and very melancholy
expression. Fido and the little girl
peered through the hole and saw the
form of the King falling through space,
getting smaller and smaller each min
ute, yet skipping like mad all the time
Fido learned afterward that when the
King had become but a speck in the
distance he landed on the earth where
everybody has insisted ever since on
calling him not a king at all, but a
Flea.
However, Fido had little time to OBJ
serve the sad fate of the King, for
Skip-a-Land was skipping like any
thing. 1t skipped over the continent
of Europe, nearly grazing the nose of
the Emperor of Germany. 1t skipped
over the palace wall of the Gar and
frightened him so that he shrieked for
his guards. 1t skipped into Asia and
nearly broke the head of the Shah, and
the next moment it ran slap bang!
into the Himalaya mountains. The
shock was so great that Fido was
thrown violently and gracefully into
the air, and when he looked around
he saw Skip-a-Land with the little girl
skipping and waving him goodbye,
flying toward the islands of Japan.
Fido himself was travelling swiftly
on the wind, which was truly pleasant,
until all at once the conductor inter-
rupted the solemnity of the occasion
by demanding ticket. Fido could not
find his ticket, which was the less re-
markable because he had never had
one. Thereupon, the conductor, who
was most kind-hearted and anxious to
oblige, thoughtfully and pleasantly
threw Fido off as hard as he could
swing him.
Fido thereupon flew carelessly and
happily until his head bumped into an
other strange and enhancing country
where he continued the absorbing ad-
ventures that will be told about next
Sunday.

a little way till they reached the pas
ture. The boys went on till they ar
rived at an old apple tree at one end
of the field. Jack climbed up into it.
and when he had perched himself
firmly in fork of the tree he called
out to Rupert below:
"Sling up the basket"
Rupert handed it to him. and he
hung it on a branch, and then said to
Rupert, who was by this time COM
fortably seated in the tree:
I've a penknife in my pocket which
mother gave me for my birthday.
Want to see it?"
Yes" said Rupert.
Jack pulled it out 1t was a strong,
sharp one. and Rupert praised it. and
then said: But what shall we do
when we get tired of whittling?'
Eat lunch" was his response.
Rupert had been so much intertesed
in his adventures that 1t was then that
he noticed for the first time that. al
though it had been evening when he
met the fairy, it was now broad day
light
That's rather queer to say the
least, but it must be some of the fairy's
doing" he thought.
Then Jack and he clambered down
from the tree, and Jack took a small
| piece of wood and showed Rupert how
to white rings inside of each other.
! Rupert could not do 1t at first. but
} at last he made two that were quite
| respectable.
After they had made a good many
| more, they noticed that the sun was
| just overhead.
| Let's have lunch now" said Jack.
| All right" agreed Rupert.
1t was delicious lunch, he thought,
although it consisted only of sand
| wiches, apples and milk
When they had finished eating Jack
showed Rupert how to make spoons
| and forks out of wood. Jack made a
wooden doll for his sister, and then
SAID he must go, as 1t was about 5
| o'clock
Rupert went with him to the cot
/ tage, and said bood-by, and then he
| joined the fairy. who appeared the
| instant he reached the spot where he
had parted from her.
We'll. have you had a nice timer"
| asked Cobweb.

Better than on your birthday"
Much"
why is that?" asked Cobweb.

Now, 1 will change you into a little
| prince again. and you can go home l
advise you to give away all your toys
except few. Give one toy to each
poor child you can find. Then you will

will be happier"
AS she said this she touched him
with her wand. and-prestol change!
he was dressed again in his princes
! clothes.
/ Saying BODILY to Cobweb. he ran
down the road home. When he reached
| the palace gate, IL was evening. His
| father and mother had no idea where
he had been. 1t seemed to them as II
/ he had been gone only a few minutes.
AS for toys, he took the fairy's
advice and kept only a few useful ones.
| The rest he gave to poor children OF
the neighborhood.
Jack, Of course, was much surprised
when he learned that he had played
with the prince. He went 10 the pal
ace al the queens request and be-
came Rupert's companion.
When the prince grew up and was
King. he appointed Jack his chief coun-
sellor, because, he said, he had solved
! his first problem In life. namely.

| himself. He had not intended to wag,
because he wished to remain naughty
and Indifferent, but the King, seeing
his tail Wag, thought that he was in
clined to be condeseendingly and at
once seemed so glad that he was over
come with indignation and joy.
He then carried on a witty CONVEX
sation with Fido. which would no doubt
have been intensely delightful If he
had not skipped so hard that nobody
could understand word that was said.
Everything in Skip-aLand was skip
ping by this time. The King was skip
ping and the floor was skipping and
the table was skipping and even the
air was skipping SO hard that it fixed
tremendously like a settler water ST.
phon. Fido's tail was shaking so that
he feared it would become unjointed
and drop off. He would not have liked
this much, as far as he could see.
A little girl appeared on the scene.
The King cordially greeted her by the
simple device of not noticing her pres
ence at all. She skipped daintily and
looked kindly upon Fido.
Good day, dog" she said. "If you
will look down, you will see that we
are now skipping over the equator"
Fido did not remember on the spur
of the moment what the equator was.
At first he Thought that it was some
LnlIlS 10 eat, Out WHEN ne looked uOWn
! he saw that it was great circle
: around the earth, and that it was full
| of folk of black, brown reddish, yell
| low, gingerly and mahogany tints.
| Skip-a-Land was skipping so hard that
| one moment the equator with all the
I folk on it, seemed to jump up and then
/ it seemed to drop down again.
Suddenly the King cried, in a voice
! that blended fear and courage ele-
gantly: Hold hard! Stop the auto
mobile! We are going to catch in a
meridian!"
At that there was a great groaning
in the caverns of Skip-a-Land, and all
the volcanoes commenced to blow off
steam, and the machinery stopped. The
King heaved a sigh of relief. He then
inquired anxiously and carelessly of
Fido how he liked his clothes. Fido
studied them attentively. He perceiv-
ed that the King had a bright gold
crown on a fine head of red hair. His
gown was bright blue. His shoes were
green. The little girl had beautiful
light yellow hair and bright blue eyes
that made Fido think of an April sky.
Her dress was pink and brown, and
her shoes were crimson.
Fido hesitated, but answered instant

Prizes are almost always given for
the best marchers in these Paris pa
rades. and on this occasion the boy on
stills won first prize.
Strange stills are those used by Jap
anese and Chinese boys Instead of
having side blocks as do the stills
used by American boys, they have foot
rests mortised on the silt stick and
projecting backwards. These stills can
only be used when the Japanese boys
feet are bare, for the silt stick must
be grasped between the first and sec
ond toes Of each foot.
Spanish boys are great stiltwalkers,
and they Invariably use sticks that
reach only to the hips. and are strong
ly bound there as well as at the an
kles.
In. some of the islands of the South
Pacific ocean very rough sport is en-
gagged in by boys on stills. Perched
high on their thin supports, and with
their faces and skins grotesquely paint
ed, these semi-savage lads-sometimes
as many as twenty at a time-meet
and strive to trip each other UP or
knock each other down.
Like most sports and games silt
walking is OF very ancient origin. Cut
in the stone which forms the tomb OF
one Of the Oldest Of the Pharaohs, there
is a crude picture OF a man leading q
procession and walking on stills. This
ancient stiltwaiker must have been
very skillful, for he IL holding onto no
side sticks, but IL using both hands IN
holding a great horn 20 his mouth.
