THE LOBSTER AND MAID

He was a gentle lobster
(The boats had just come in);
He did not love the fishermen,
He could not stand their din;
And so he quietly stole off,
AS If it were no sin.
She was little maiden;
He met her on the sand;
"And how dyou do?" the lobster said,
why don't you give your hand?
For why she edged away from him,
He could not understand.
Excuse me, SIR" the maiden said;
Excuse me, If you please; ;"
And put her hands behind her back /
And doubled UP her knees; tfs
al always thought that Holsters were
A little apt to squeeze"
"Your ignorance" the lobster said,
Is natural, fear;
Such scandal Is a shame" he sobbed;
1t is not true, my DEAR,
And with his pocket handkerchief
He wiped away tear.
So out she put her little hand,
AS though she feared him not;
Then some one grabbed him suddenly
And put him in pot,
With water, which, think, he found
uncomfortably hot.
It may have been the water made
the blood flow to his head:
It may have been that dreadful fib
Lay on his soul like lead;
This much is true-he went in gray,
And came out very red.

A poor miller named John Peter. his wife.
Claudine and little son. Peter. lived in
Brittany in the time of good King Robert.
John Peter Hospitality welcomed Mr.
Wind and Madam Rain to bis cabin one
night while his wife and child We're asleep
and in return for his kindness they brought
prosperity to the miller and his family.
Some time afterward their lord, the Baron,
seized all their savings. John Peter Went
to Mr.. Wind for assistance and was given
with magic wand. there issued "a number
of elves, who prepared. sumptuous meal
for any number of guests. He yielded to
temptation, however, and sold II to the
Baron, but received. only one-tenth OF the
sum promised him. The money was soon
spent and the miller again asked aid OF
Mr. Wind. He tried to deceive Mr. Wind,
however, as to how the Baron happened to
gain possession of the cask. and was pun
fshed by having given him a small golden
cask from which appeared, when he tapped
1t with magic wand, a terrible giant. who
beat him till he was sore. The greedy
Baron. innocent of the nature OF the cask,
purchased 1t for 20, 900 francs. and received
sound thrashing from the giant.
The Baron never forgave this injury, ana
through him poverty again threatened the
unfortunate family. John Peter then sought
the promise she had made to bestow her
favor upon little Peter So she ordered
her spirits to give the miller a. copper box,
wand and gilt-edged book for the lad. after
receiving which the miller hurried home.
fCONTJNIIED FROM LAST SUNDAY
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-01

But about midnight they were awak-
ened by the whole place trembling, and
then they knew that it was not a safe
place for them to stay and were very
much frightened, as Thor said he was
sure 1t was an earthquake which shook
everything so much. He told his two
companions to lie still while he got up
and hunted for better and safer sleep
ing place.
He went out to look about him, but 1t
was so dark that he was frightened, and
went back and told his companions to
come, too. So they walked along in this
beautiful dark forest with strange
sounds on every side, and just on the
right Of the hall which they had left
was another building with still larger
entrance, and Thor, being Of ain In
quisitive nature, said they would go in.
But as they stood at the door he said
he was afraid to go any further, but
would stand watch with his hammer to
DEFEND them no matter what happened.
But even he with his great strength
was much frightened as he heard a most
terrible groaning as if there were
hundred carts going over cebblestones.
But as he was afraid to go out into
the dark, he concluded to stay where
he was and wait until morning At
dawn they all went out and found lying
near them the largest giant they had
ever seen. He had been asleep and it
was his snoring that had been this
terrible noise they had heard and
thought was an earthquake.
Thor was afraid to try his hammer on
this giant, SO, walking up to him, he
asked him his name.

"Fizz" must be used IN place of the
number five or any of it's multiples, all

A HARD-HEADED FELLOW

Skrymir said the best place to rest
was under the pine trees, which was
always a soft and pleasant place. So
he picked out the largest grove that
he could find, and there they all made
ready to spend the night. 81 will lie
down now," said the giant. Mean
while, unpack the dinner and get things
ready"
He soon fell asleep, and then Thor
tried to open his wallet, but he found
that 1t was tied so tight that he could
not even move the string. He was so
angry at this that he made up his mind
that he would kill the giant, and he
struck him with his hammer on the
head, thinking that, Of course, it would
crush his skull.
But Skrymir opened his eyes and said:
"I feel as If there were a lot of little
leaves falling on my head. Have you
seen any falling?''
This made Thor furious and he then
swore he would kill him as soon as he
fell asleep again. It was not long be-
fore the giant was snoring so loud that
the forest echoed with the noise, and
this made Thor more angry than ever.
He buckled on his belt OF strength to
give him greater power, and taking his
hammer IN both hands again he hit the
giant on the skull with all his might
So hard did ne hit that 1t made deep
dent in his head, but the giant only
opened his eyes and smilingly said:

something falling about here. ] think
there must be storm coming up; u

SCENE 1.
The King of England wishes his
daughter, the Princess Byzantine, to
wed Prince Christian of Denmark, but
the Princess loves Sir Jessamine, a poor
knight. She has refused to speak for
days, and now at last Prince Christian
is expected to arrive and claim her
hand. Her father Is very angry because
of her stubborn silence and threatens
her. Just then Prince Christian is an

Thryn received them courteously, and
was more than pleased to see. as he
thought. the beautiful Freya. He in
vited hia beautiful bride to have supper,
and was very much surprised when he
saw what large appetite she had. She
ate twelve large salmon. grown COW,
six chickens and many other small
things, washing them all down with
three large barrels of wine.
He said: II never thought any woman
could eat 90 much; but she seems
hungry, and, though wish to be good
to all women, and especially my bride,
] never thought maid could eat so
much.
Loki laughed so loud and long that
Thor feared all was lost for him. When
Loki answered Thryn that his bride had
not tasted food for eight long nights in
her haste to see the ruler Of Jotunheim,
the giant was more than pleased, but at
last he had the curiosity to peep under
his brides veil. He started back in hor-
ror and said: tI have never seen
maidens eyes glisten with such firel Can
this be the beautiful Freya?"
But Loki said: "Her eyes sparkle with
her great love for you," and the giant
was again pleased, and said no more. OF
course, he believed that Thor was Freya,
and so he ordered his hammer to be
brought and laid at his brides feet. AS

handle, he killed Thryn with one mighty
