SAINT you neber heard of Giant Maginnis2 Den
reckon you aiu't neber trabeled up de brook berry
far, ease If you did you'd sholy meet him. He lives
just whar de water comes springin out of the
groun' bout fohty miles from heah. Got farm up
yondah, but he amt doing much farmin', reckon,
case dat ole witch am a-sendin' dis yere pesky
weather on him, toow
4How big is hel" demanded Perry, paling, but
still brave.
~'Bout 'leventy-one feet tall. [ calkerlate. ANY
how he's as tall as any giant dat ever was, and he
kin Just look right over most Of the trees bout
heah"
"Does-does he eat little boysl" asked Perry, in
a faint voice.
eat no little boys, nor gals, nutherl He's right
smart gemman is dat Giant Maginnis but he shol,
hates dat ole Rain Witch"
''Well, then, III go and take a look at Magnnis,"
said Perry.
The next day he awoke filed with thoughts of the
giant, and before the sun the mountain
he had stolen away and was following the course
of the brawling brook up and ever up, toward
where the great pines brushed the rain from the
clouds,
BY noon he was far from home and past all traces
of farm or habtation and yet in the most desolate
spot he came upon little log hut beside the brook
1t set IN the centre of deep hollow SO that
it was hardly visible a few yards away A thin
spiral of smoke curled upward from the stone CHM
ney and he knew that somebody was within That
doubt. and he went past over the rocks on tiptoe
as silent as the weasel
But he had been heard by the WITCH and she
called OUT
Il hear YOU old gray lolf Food for you above az
the giants sheepfoldt Hasten, wolf. and ravage -
Perry grinned at being mistaken for wolf, and
dashed away through the bushes before she could
come out and see him. Soon he came to tre-
mendous wall, the stones of which were larger than
his mothers house, a wall that completely barre
the way up the mountain 10 all but the brook
which poured through between the gigantic Stones
in food.
But Perry's quick eye detected breaks in the wal
that showed carelcssness, and he was sure that
somewhere he would find il fallen down so. that he
could climb over. After following it for some dis
lance he came to great break, which the giant,
who worry careless farmer, never had bothered
to mend, and be crept over and between the great
stones until he had passed the barrier. He was
sure that he Evas on the giants farm and soon
he heard tremendous noises beyond the woods thar

ing TO his horses.
Eager to that sight. Perry hurried on, and
after long walk came to the field where the giant
with his giant horses and plow was turning up hills
of wet soil and shaking the very earth with their
tread. tie wore a very old-fashoned coat with
long Tapping talls. and knickerbockers that made
Perry smile when be saw them. for he did not know
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-12-18

that hundred years ago all men wore knee
breeches. He could see that Maginnis was terribly
angry but when he noticed how rain-soaked he
was he felt that he had a right to be vexed. He
climbed upon an earth hill and called out:
"Good morning, Mr.. Maginnis!"
The giant looked all about before he saw Perry,
and then said:
@Hello, son. What are you doing herel"
Il came TO have look at you, but on the way I
got idea how you can bring the old Rain Witch
to TERMS" answered the boy.
"Indeedl Tell me how TO do It, quickw roared
Maginnis, bending down.
81 observed that her house stands In hollow
where, once upon q time the river must have run.
Now, with your big shovel you could dam the brook
and dig a new channel, so that you can turn the
water into that old bed and simply food her out,
for, as perhaps you know, witch can't cross
water"
Jimmy, but you are wise onew cried the giant.
"And small, toop
ooh, I've been well taught" replied Perry, simply
Il know few things"
"Well, I've lived four hundred years and / never
heard that about witchesp exclaimed Magannis.
"I'll go and get my shovel az oncei"
When he came back he stood up and took good
look at the course of the river, and saw where
to turn it aside into its ancient bed 1t took but
few strokes of the shovel to dam the water and
set it flowing down among the trees and rocks with
q mighty roar.
The old witch heard it, but thought it was the
swollen brook, never looking out until her cabin
was surrounded by water three feet deep, and then
she ran to her door In amazement and terrorA for
she knew that she never could cross the roaring
stream Her old black cat arched his back and spit
savagely st the water that swirled over the very
doorsl then he leaped into chair, for it began
to creep in the floor.

az can't save you without help" replied Perry,
"and you must promise that you will never
again injure the one who comes with me"
''Who is hel asked the witch, cautiously.
"The giant Maginnis. He is the only one who
can save you now, but you have been annoying him
by sending rain and wind against him so long that
/ fear even will have difficulty IN persuadlng hum
to come to your rescue"
'I'll trouble him no morel" cried the Rain Witch
eff get out of this alive I'll NEEDLE with the
weather again. In fact, if you'll induce him t.
save me, will give you my Wind BagP
"Whats thatW asked Perry.
'It's the source of all my power. With it l cause
any wind to blow or make any sort of weather
choose"
"Toss it over to me-" replied Perry. @Then I'll
bring help"
aCan you not trust me-" demanded the Rain
Witch.
"Not much" said the boy, 81 want the Rain Bag
first
With many grimace of fear she took from her
belt small leather bag and threw it across the
raging brook. Perry seized It, and then ran for
MaginniS who was not far away, you may be sure.
The giant was unwilling at first to save the
witch, but Perry proved to him that she was no
longer dangerous as without her magic Wind Bag,
she couldn't do any damage. So the giant sprang
up and hastened to the brookside, where, between
his finger and thumb he lifted the frail hut of the
witch from the waters and placed 1t far up on the
hillside The old witch, who never suspected how
the Hood had been caused was very Srdtelul anu
showed Perry how to use the Wind Bag and release
any sort of weather he wished. As the boy walked
away the giant, who all smiles now,
asked
"What are you going to do with the 5ag|
81 shall find good use for it, depend upon that,
replied the boy 1T win never be used to inquire
anybody after this I'll just give you a spell of dry,
warm weather that will make your crops jump, Just
to get my hand in, and then. when | have learned
how to manage the thing. T.. go about the country
selling any sort of weather people want"
11What a spendid idean cried Maginnis, I'D
like TO go, tool Why not leave the farm TO itself
I'll carry you around, and you know l can travel
faster than any railroad trainl # people don't
want to pay you I'll collect the money!
''TIat would save railroad fares responded
Perry.
@And you wouldn't have TO put your money IN a
bank, either" added the giant. Il guess nobody
will tackle You when l am with you"
"Well, we viii form a partnership and travel
together" said Perry.
AHurrahl Grant and Maginnis, weather pur-
veyors" shouted the giant.
So, after he had fed his horses Maglnnis was
ready to start on journey all over the world, i
need be. and taking knapsack of food that would
have supplied an army, no lifted Perry to his
shoulder, saying:
"Now. which way shall We go first"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-12-18

exclaimed the boy, with his eyes cleaning.
"Wouldn't it be greatp
"Doh't you neber go ter try anything like datW
cried old Martha, with a shudder. "Dat ole witch

"Deys heaps O. strange animies Arranging roun'

"Don't you tink of It," she cried "Why, you
might better go and ask ole Giant Maginnis to
wrastle wild you dan tackle de Rain Witch"
''Who is he2 I never heard of him"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-12-18

The witch mounted table and then climbed into
the loft, from whence she crawled out upon the
roof and there in the rain, squalling dismally
for help.
But she had selected place of residence too far
away from other people TO obtain any help, for
nobody was within reach of her,voice except Perry
and Maginnis, who were chuckling for joy up on
the mountain top After she had almost lost her
delighted giant to wait for him while he went 10
speak to the witch, he fastened down to her. He
stopped at the waters edge and called out to her:
"You seem to be in trouble up there"
anybody but fool could see that" she rctorted.
"In likely to be drowned, / suppose, in a few min
utes unless / get help"

Don't stand there gawking at mep she shrieked
sect some logs and build bridge to rescue me-"
"All the logs have flowed away" replied Perry.
"Theres but one way to save you"
"Well, get at it quickly" she yelled
"What viii you give mel" asked Perry.
Anything you like" she replied. Anything in
my power shall be yours if you me"
Perry stopped to consider hat reward he should
demand, and how he might word it, but the old
witch, feeling her hut tremble beneath the rush
of the food, shrieked and waved her hands:
Hurry Hurryp she cried. 81 will be washed
away In minute while you wasting timeP

The Wonderful Good He Accomplished and the Great
Wealth He Accumulated by the Use of
Magic Wind Bag

Perry pointed toward the distant mountains in
the vest and said:
Il know there are many people over there, cities
and farms innumerable. Let US go where we can
be useful"
Certainly. We must go where the money isl
added the giant as he strobe away with long steps,
and before he knew it Perry found himself over
the farthest mountains and looking down on
land all cultivated, with cities roads and farms in
every direction. He had never been beyond ths
narrow valley, and the sight was very astonishing,
for he had not known what number of people live

Penny Wise, Pound Foolish Democ-
Facy

In the last democratic congress, elect
ed in 1892, largely on the issue OF econ
omy, the only items of national expend-
iture where there was any large money
saving was for the navy and for coast
defenses.
Appropriations for the former were
cut down S9,000,000 and for the latter
SO, 100000. Yet notwithstanding such
diminished expenditures in the means
for promoting the safety and prestige
OF the nation. this same congress was
pennywise in this way only to be pound
foolish in many other directions, with
the net result that for the first time in
the history of the United States the to-
tai appropriations ran above the billion
dollar mark. 1t is matter of histori-
cal record that the last democratic
congress was the first actual billion dol
lar congress.
