The Demon and
the DutChman
A TALE OF OLD NEW YORK.

When New York was New Amster-
dam there lived on land which is now
a part of Central Park, Otto Van
Trumpet. a snappy tempered, lean
limbed Dutchman, as obstinate as one
of his pigs and ready TO do anything
for money Near him lived the
Widow Shoter, comfortable. fat and
merry. with a fine house and many
gold guilders.
To marry the widow was the one
ambition of the farmers life. but she
declared that she could not possibly
wed so thin a man. She shook out the
folds of her seven petticoats daintily,
and nodded her head smilingly, but in
sisted that She could not think of tax
ing as a mate so spare a person.
He drank ale and ate all day long,
but the more he drank and the more
he ate the thinner he grew and the
more snappy tempered. till even the
good parsOn avoided speaking to him
when they met by the BOwery Farm.
For a year Otto Van Trumpet was
a desperate and gloomy man. He went
each evening to see the widow, and
she always smiled upon him, for he
was never cross while at her house;
but he could not change her determina-
ton to remain single until she could

A DOZEN ASIATIC
TIGER PROVERBS.

The Asiatic nations use the tiger to
point morals as European nations use
the crow and the fox. Here are a
dozen OF the tiger proverbs in COM
mon use among the East Indians
japanese, Chinese and Koreans:
A tiger with a broken Cbaclt-rage
and fury which are powerless.
After the Chinese the tigers-total
devastation of country.
You must enter the tigers den, If
you would secure a Cub--what IS
worth having is not procured without
risk and trouble.
"Maing-ho," a man. eateP-a person
with an ungovernable temper.
A tigers meal-a gluttonous repast.
To turn from a deer and meet a
tiger-the danger of too much caution.
A winged tiger-cunning added to
power and ability.
To bring up a tiger and have him
turn upon you-ingratitude.
A tiger of wood-a harmless being
with a dangerous exterior.
Devoured by a tiger-said of a man
who wishes to be concealed from his
creditors.
To face the tiger in his lair-great
bravery.
To let go the tail of a tiger-to
avoid one danger and encounter an
other.

to all in my time in Africa, which was
many years ago, but now, there is a
law there against the useless slaugh-
ter of elephants. 1 know YOU will
agree with me that it is a wise law.
The elephant has a keen eye and a
powerful scent. He can see a moving
man as far away as you could if YOU
had the aid of a field glass to help
you, and he can scent a hunter or ma
tive fifty times as far as you can smell
toasted cheese.
AS baby elephants, we were taught
to detect the difference between smells,
and to run away from men and to back
slowly away from lions and panthers.
Every day we were taken out for a les
son, and after we were six months old
we Joined large herd, and we young
sters were supposed to take care of
ourselves, except when in danger.
If the leader of the herd scented a
lion proving around he uttered a sort
of whistle. and all the young elephants
ran to their mothers.
If the danger was from a man, the
leader blew a blast on his trumpet,
and away we went as fast as we could
go, some of the old elephants ahead
and some behind to guard US.
There was one thing my mother
took great pains to teach me, and yet
1 was so needless about it that it
finally proved my downfall, as l shall
relate further on. She warned me to
observe the ground ahead of me clos
ly whenever was walking on a
path, and never to go to sleep in the
daytime when I was by myself. You

The Famous ChiIdren'S Crusade
A Collection of Newly Discovered Facts Throws
an interesting Light on It,

Recent Investigations into the his
tory of the famous Children's Crusade
have developed facts that make it ap-
parent that it was the result of one
of the most diabolical plots of which
history makes mention.
Early in the spring of 1918 two
men, wearing the garb of monks and
claiming to be such, appeared in
France and Germany calling all the
children they met to take the Cross
and journey to the Holy Land. The
two men gathered the children about
them in the streets of cities and
towns and urged them to join in the
new crusade. All the idle and desert
ed children who usually are to be
found in large numbers in big cities
were sought out by the two men and
formed into bands, which were start
ed on the march for the French sea-
port of Marseilles.
AS they marched along the coun-
try roads they were joined by other
children. The frenzy spread through
out the countries where the two men
preached. In all, about 10000 boys
and girls set out on the march for
Palestine.
Now these two men who had gone
about preaching the Children's Cru
SADIE were not monks at all, but two
emissaries of some merchants of Mar
settles, who saw an opportunity to gain
a great deal of money if they could
inveigle children into ships, take them
to the coast of Africa and there sell
them to the Mohammedans as slaves.
The children who marched to Mar
settles were taken on board fleet of
ships belonging to these merchants
and sail was made ostensibly for the
Holy Land, but in reality for Africa.
But the ships were scarcely we'll
off the coast when a great storm came
up and drove them toward the shores
of Italy. On the Italian coast all ex-
cept two of the vessels were wrecked
and every soul on board of them was
drowned.
The two ships which escaped made
their way to Africa, and the unhappy
children in them were all sold into
slavery.
Although all the children had been
told to march to Marseilles, and had

or other insects TO another plant or else
no seeds will form?"
Yes" answered Aunt Daisy. but
this flower is very particular about the
guests il invites. 1t does not want all
kinds of inquisitive little crawling
things sampling its nectar. so it keeps
its doors inhospitably closed. The bee.
however. has the secret pass-key. All
he has to do is TO push aside these pc
tails here at the bottom, and presto!
the sweets lie hidden in this circle
around the pistil, right under his
nose"
Doesn't he ever get caught inside?"
i've never seen one. for they are
always careful not to get entirely
within-only the head and fore part of
the body. Then when he has taken all
the nectar he can get, he backs out
with a goodly amount of pollen on his
legs and body. When he enters the next
flower, some of his pollen is brushed
against the pistil and starts the seeds
within a-growing. You see he's the
flowers eXpreSsman, carrying parcels
of pollen from one flower to the next"
What are these white lines here
near the bottom of the flower, Aunt
Daisy?" asked Frank.
Those are nectar guides. They lead
down to the nectar glands and are a
sort of sign to tell the bee where sweets
may be found. This older flower on
which the lines have disappeared, and
which has turned brown, has been
robbed of its nectar, so Mr.. Bee would
not attempt to enter. AS soon as the
flower has been brought enough pollen
to make it seeds grow, it changes color
so that Mr.. Bee will know enough not
to call"
Il suppose we really ought not to
pick them all. for then there will not
be any more next fall" said Margaret,
whose hands were already full
yes, ] think we have taken more
than our share this time" said Aunt

must hurry or we shall be late to din

the Feast of the New Year, and then
the old man filled the mortar with
boiled rice and started TO pound it
into dough for the rice dumphngs,
while his wife poured the beans into
the mill and began to turn the crank
To their amaZement the rice turned
into a pile of golden coins, and a
shower of money fell from the little
hand-milli
When the wicked old man and his
wife heard of this they were more
jealous and covetous than ever, and
lost no time in borrowing the mill
and mortar to try their own luck.
Certain now of success they filled
the mortar with rice and the mill with
beans; but the food turned into a de-
cayed mass, which they FASTENED to
throw away. Angrier than ever at
their failure, the man chopped the
mortar and mill to pieces and burned
them.
That night little Muko appeared
again to his master and told him what
had happened, and that he must go
and gather up the ashes, for" con-
tinued he, IF you scatter them on the
leafless trees they will bloom again."
The good old man did as he was
bid; and, having obtained some of the
ashes, he scattered a pinch over a
cherry tree in his own garden, and to
his delight, it burst into full bloom,
although it was the middle of win
ter.
The wicked couple. hearing OF this
marvel, gathered up the remainder of
the ashes and put them away for fu-
ture use.
Not long after this news was sent
that the daimio Oord) of that prov
ince was TO pass through the village;
so Muko's old master set out to see

Crusade

been started on their journey in that
direction, they did not all arrive at
that port. A large band of them miss
ed the way and arrived at the Italian
city of Genoa.
The merchants had not expected
them at that port and so there were
no ships waiting for them. The peo-
when the small army of boys and girls
came marching into their city bearing
crosses and singing hymns.
When the children told the citizens
that they were on a crusade to the
Holy Land and sought the port of
Marseilles, where they were to en-
bark, the good people suspected that
some wretches had been entrapping
the young crusaders for their owS
ends. The Genoese, having a shrewd
idea that the whole thing was an at
tempt to get slaves for the African
trade, counselled the children to re-
turn to their homes, and told them
of their great danger.
Many of the children were already
ill from the fatigues of their long
journey, and most of them were be-
ginning to think of home and their
parents with a great longing.
Genoa is called the Superb" from
the great number of palaces and other
stately buildings which look out from
its nights over the blue waters of the
Mediterranean, upon which most Of
the children had never looked be-
fore. But their far-away homes SEEM
ed dearer to them than Genoa the
Superb, when, weary and footsore
they reached that city.
So the citizens had not much trou-
BILE in persuading them to take up
the march for home again.
Many of the children never saw the
homes for which they longed, but
died on the return journey. along the
course of which they begged their
way.
The merchants who planned the
crime of the so-called Children's Cru
SADIE were arrested for some other
crime some time afterward and put
to death upon the scaffold. It is sup
posed that they made a complete
confession of the part they had play
ed in arranging the kidnapping OF
the French and German boys and
girls; but the names of their agents
who went about gathering the chill
dren together have never been known
to certainty.

CHAPTER l.
For the last three years I have had
as keeper an old man named Pete, and
he and I get along in the most friend
ly manner. The only thing wrong
about Pete is that he gets drunk about
four times a year, and when this hap
pens he always tries to have a fight
with me. 1 could settle him or any
other man with one blow of my trunk,
but 1 let him go ahead and call me
names and thump me with his fist.
1 bear it all because 1 know that he
will come to me with a big apple in
his pocket as soon as he is sober and
say to me:
And how's your good health this
fine mornin', Little Jumbo? And it's
your true friend Pete who has brought
you big red apple and is goin to
beg your pardon for tryin' to knock
your head off last night"
And l caress him with my trunk
and make a sort of growing noise,
and the apple goes into my mouth,
and Pete knows that we are the best
of friends again.

of late, and am being doctored for it.,
and Pete has moved his cot into my
