The UnmusiCal Prince; or.
The OOOd-Natured Giant.
BY RAYMOND FULLER AYRES,

why should / kill him. asked Roland.
''He never did anything to me-"
But the giant has the fortune" ex
planned the innkeeper. Anyone who kills
lin can have it. He is very fierce giant,
too. He used to come here to this city
and behave shanefully. He used to pick
up our houses and turn them upside down.
Then he would shake them, and all the
gold and silver that fell out of them he
would carry off. If people said any
thing to him he would just step on them
and squash them fiat"
'Oh, my." said Ronald. "You don't
think there is any danger of his coming
here now, do you?"
None at ALL said the innkeeper. "He
has not been able to get in since we built
those high walls around the city
oh said Roland, Il was just wonder
ing if he would come along, so I could kill
the trouble of going all the way to the
mountain where his castle is
As soon as Roland said that the inn
keeper ran out in the street and began to
wave his arms, jump up and down. and
shout. a great crowd of people gathered
at once, and the innkeeper told them that
Roland was going to kill the giant and
that he could hardly wait to get at him.
Then all the people cheered, and the may
or of the city came UP and shook hands
with Roland and patted him on the head.
He said that Roland was a brave youth
and he hoped he would not get eaten alive
by the giant Roland said that he cer
tainly hoped not, too, and the mayor said
that if he did he should have the hand
soonest monument that money could buy,
and what more could he want?
OF course, Roland could not back out
then, although he did not want to kill that
giant one single bit, for all those people
would be so disappointed, and then they
might think he was afraid of the giant,
and that would never do.
Then all the people cheered some more,
and they put him on a fiery steed and
gave him a spear. The city gates were
opened and an immense procession form
ed. There were six dozen brass bands in
him, and they played all the popular
songs, Win ali tne people 1OlniHS III tHe
chorus. They made such a noise that
Roland thought to himself he would
rather kill giants all the rest of his life
than have that racket kept up for an
hour. The people and the bands left
him at the city gates, and he rode on
alone.
Roland rode for long time without
seeming IN get much nearer tn the noun
tain on which stood the giants castle.
The spear he carried was SO heavy that
it made his arms ache, and as he did not
know how to use it anyway, he threw it
away. He seemed to get on much better
after this, and it was just about noon
when he rode up to the giants castle.
The giant was painting the front porch,
and he stopped and frowned fearfully
when he saw Roland. Here's another
one of them,' he growled. He was so
large and Roland was SO frightened that
he just sat still on his horse without say
ing word. well, what do you WANT"
sal the giant. You came up here to
kill me and get my fortune, l suppose,
didn't you?'
NO, Stree" said Roland. THE people
down there in that city did say some
thing about it. and they gave me a spear
to kill you with, but l told them / would
The Washington times., 1902-01-19

not hurt you for the world, and l threw
the spear away. l came up here to get
away from their bands of music more
than anything else
you don't say So said the giant.
Come right in and have lunch. l am
glad to see you. You look like quite a
sensible young fellow. At first 1 thought
that you We're one of those chaps that
come up here and sing serenades under
the window of the beautiful princess that
keep shut up. l just can't stand that
and l generally go out and eat them alive,
just to put them out of misery"
Have you really and truly beautiful
princess shut up in your castle?" asked
Roland.
"Of course, I have" said the giant.
What's the use of being giant if you
can't have a beautiful princess shut up in
your castle? But are you quite sure that
you don't sing serenades?" Roland said

SURPRISINGLY large number Of
~ our little friends have written
1 \ to US asking us to print more Of
the new recess games that have
from time to time appeared on this page.
They ask us in particular to print more
of the games that have some connection
with their studies. for they say that in
this way they are aided greatly in remem-
bering some of them. OF course we arc
very glad to do this. and are still more
pleased to learn that this feature has be-
come so popular.
Here is 4 game that will help you won-
derfully with your geography lessons, and
which, besides being hard enough to make
you sharpen your wits to their keenest
edge. is just heaps of fun 1t will help
you to remember the names and location
of cities in really remarkable way, and
when you win the game you can pride
yourself upon being pretty near the head
Of your class in geography.
The game may be played by either boys
or girls. or both, but there should. not
be more than six players, or the game will
be too long for your recess time. Each
player must write on the blackboard some
one or two words that, when the letters
are changed around will spell the namo
OF some city. After this word or words
must be written the name of the State in
which that city is situated
For instances. someone might write
Tory, New York OF course, that would be
Troy, N. Y, whnn tie letters are properly
arranged. Someone else might write Sob
Not, Mass. When the letters of these
words are transposed they would read
Boston, Mass.
When all the players have written on
the board. then each one tries to solve
the meaning of what the others have
down on a piece of paper without tell
ing anyone else what they are, and when
all have finished, then each one writes on
the board the correct answers to his or
her words after the words they have
written before.
Now comes the scoring. You score two
points for every one of the words that
you solve correctly, but you are minus
one point for every one that you make
mistake on; that is, every time you guess
wrong one point is taken away from
your score. If anyone should give the
wrong State after the word that, when
changed is the name of his city, that
one is minus two points. Then all points
are reckoned, and .he one with the larg-
est score wins that game. You will have
time for two or three games before re-
cess is over.

that he had never sung a serenade in his
life; that he couldn't if he would; that he
was glad he couldn't, and that he wouldn't
if he could. The giant was much relieved
at this, and they had n fine time at lunch.
They got quite well acquainted, and the
giant took a great liking to Roland. Now,
see here he said as they finished lunch,

and you can take your pick just so that
you will feel comfortable. Now you stay
here and be company for me and the
princess, and 1 will keep the musicians
and singers away from you, for 1 detest
music as much as you do" Roland said
that would be just fine, and the princess
said so too, and as she had not seen a
single prince near by for ever so long,
she thought that Roland was just the fin
est prince that ever was; so they were
married and lived happily forever.

Stockyards Gossip.

One certain drove of 1000 light
butcher weight hogs to average 230
pounds was made up at an average
price of S6.25. The buyer considered
this 10 cents higher than Wednesday.
A leading buyer for one of the prom
irent English houses said: The reason
why we are not buying our usual light
hog sorts is that the foreign markets
are over-supplied with that class of
meat; then again, Lent is near at hand
and 1t is more widely observed in the
old country than it is here, and jobbers
of meats are careful about overstocking
at this season of the year. About the
middle of February 1 look for the de-
mand for light hogs to increase
E. c. Brown, of the Brwon-St. John
Company, said: Receipts of hogs so
far this week show Il falling off of over
10000 from the same time last week
This shows that ii farmers can not get
their price they will hold until they can,
and instead of farmers having to sell
hogs to get money to live on. they have
money to burn, and are as independent
as they usually are when they are pros
Porous. The recent decline in corn is
causing many feeders to feed 1T to their
cattle and hogs instead of rushing their
stock to market and selling the corn
to the grain dealer"

STEEL TRUST FINANCES.
Preliminary Report Submitted t,
Stockholders by President Schwab.

| New York, Jan. 31.-A preliminary
report covering the operations of the
| United States Steel corporation since
| 1t came into existence ten months ago
was made to the stockholders Wednes-
day. 1t was q forerunner to the more
extended resume to be submitted at
the annual general meeting on Febru-
airy II, and was designed to familiariZc
the shareowners with the financial
status of the company and the trade
situation in the market where it BUYS
and sells.
The report, signed by both Charles
Nj. Schwab and Gilbert III. Gary, de-
clared present business and future
outlook, viewed ahead thru 1902, to be
highly satisfactory. Discussing
prices, the report said they could have
been advanced. but that it was decided
to be better policy to refrain from do
ing SO.
The reprot said that great progress
had been made in the general plan to
harmonize the work of the many
plants to secure perfect cooperation
and to effect economy in manufacture,
but that the end had not been reached
and more favorable results might b9
accomplished.
The report reviewed the larger
financial operations of the company,
including those of it's organization,
and the recently published statement
of earning for the first nine months of
the existence of the company.
The condensed balance sheet for No
vember 80 showed that on that day
the accounts receivable aggregated
$45,269,453; the bills receivable, ST.
s21,463, and the cash on hand $55,315,-
SGT, grand total of $1O3, 4O6.444.
The current liabilities on November
80 were stated at $50,269.63o. and the

VALUE OF SERMON.
1t. Cash Worth Fixed a. 81 in vir.


| Norfolk, Va, Jan. 31.-The cash val
lie of Baptist sermons in Virginia has
been officially fixed at little more
comprised Of Baptist clergymen, today
decided that the Norfolk and Western
railroad company must pay the Rev.
w. p. Hines, pastor of the Park View
Baptist church at Portsmouth $3.50 for
2O2 sermons, lost by agents and en-
ployes of the company Mr.. Hines had
valued the sermons at $50 each.
Pastor Hines was a passenger on a
Norfolk and Western railway train
a few weeks ago and had the COM
pany check his valise, in which We're
the COZ sermons, besides a bible on
which were many memoranda of a re-
ligious nature. When he presented
the check for the valise at his desti-
nation it could not be found. and, al
tho tracer was sent out the valise
was never located.
DIR. Hines told the railway people
that the loss of his best sermons would
place him in an embarrassing position,
and he asked to be reimbursed The
company declined to pay $50 apiece for
the lot. and suggested that the matter
be settled by arbitration. DIR. Hines
agreed to the proposition.
The railway people selected the Rev
DR.. Lafferty, editor of the Richmond
Christian Advocate, Dr. Hines selected
the Rev. Dr. Owen of local Baptist
church, and these two ministers Sc
lected the Rev. DR.. j. j. Hall pastor
of Park Avenue Baptist church at Nor
folk.
The conference began in the morn
ing, and all thru the day the valuA
of the sermons was discussed and ar
gued, until finally $3.50 was agreed
upon.
Dr. Hines when notified said he was
satisfied, and the railway people ac-
cepted the verdict, so DR.. Hines will
tomorrow receive a check for $3.50.
The case has attracted widespread
attention, and it is believed to be the
first OF its kind on record in this coun-
