for a good blow or low enough to
strike the bone.
The King looked on for a time,
watching this curious performance.
and then he asked the cook what he
meant
Said the cook: 'I am puzzled to
know which is the nearer to me-heav-
en- or hell. When L am raising the
hatchet / think heaven is the nearer,
and then 1 have to stop raising it for
fear of striking heaven; when 1 am
lowering the hatchet I am afraid hell
is the nearer and stop 1T for fear of
striking hell, and in a puzzle 1 am
what to do. Perhaps you could help
me out?'
Il can," said the King, "if your deeds
are good salvation is nearer to you,
and if your deeds are bad hell is the
nearer. Now you can go on with your
work"
The cook went on with his work and
the King went on about his business.
After dinner the shanachy was called
in to entertain the King. And he said
to the King, I'VE will divide the night
into two parts. If you tell stories for
half the night 1 Will tell stories for
other half, and 1 will give you your
choice of the first or second part OF the
nj light"
Very well.' said the King. "As I
do not sleep very we'll and like man
to tell stories to me to put me asleep
l will give you the second half and
take the first half myself
Consequently the King told stories
for the first half of the night, and at
midnight the shanachy had to come to
his bedside to tell stories. The instant
the King fell asleep the shanachy re-
membered what their father had told
them when leaving home, that King
Fintonnach would get knowledge
when be was asleep of who they were
and what they were, so. as he feared
to stop speaking lest the King would
awake, he made his brothers bring in
horses head into which he put a
magical pin that caused the head to
speak and begin telling stories as he
had been doing.
Then leaving this horses head by the
bed telling stories. he and his two
brothers started off as fast as they
could from the castle. They travelled
all night, and did not cease travelling
until the middle of the next day, and
then. when they looked back, they saw
the King and his men approaching
them. Not far from them were three
men threshing corn, and the youngest

of the three brothers suddenly made
up plan to get hold of the fails and
begin threshing instead of the men.
They went up to the three threshers
and the youngest said Il have bet one
hundred pounds with these two broth
straw faster than 1 will battle it after
them You men can lie on the straw
there and rest yourselves and we will
decide our bet by working for you"
Very glad of this, the three men
threw themselves down on the straw
to rest and sleep. for very tired they
were; and the three brothers took off
their coats and transformed themselves
and were threshing and working as
fast as they could when the King and
his men came up.
Said the King, 'Have you seen three
young men run past this way?" They
said yes that there were three men ly-
ing sleeping in the straw, who said they
had been travelling since the middle of
the night. and that they were tired and
asked leave to lie down and sleep. And
they pointed out where the three men
lay and the King and his men fell on
the three poor threshers and killed
them, and then started for home again.
When they were out OF sight the
three brothers dressed themselves once
more and began iourneying onward.
And that night in his sleep. the knowl-
edge came to King FintOnnach that he
had been outwitted by his three grand
sons. and that he had killed three poor
threshers instead. Next morning with
his attendants he mounted on horse
back and started off in hot pursuit
again. and when once more his three
grandsons found him coming up they
covered themselves with the blood of
dead beast and they got sticks and be-
gan fighting on the edge of the wood.

THE KING LOOKED on FORA THE AlATC HING
THIS CURIOUS PERfORfNANCLE

And when the King came up they
were so bloody that he did not know
them. He drew rein and asked them
what they fought about. They said
they were fighting about the ownership

said one of them. And I say il belongs
to me- said another. "And I say it
belongs to me-" said a third Perhaps
you will decide for us?" they said to
the King.
That I will very quickly" said the
King. IF you will state your claims"
Very we'll and good" said one OF
them. When father died he left me
everything that was old and young in
this wood.
And" said the second, when our
father died he left me everything that
was straight and crooked in this wood"
And" said the third. when our
father died he left me everything that
was above ground and Under ground in

And now" said they. "to which of US
does IT belong?"
When the King had thought over 1t a
good while and could not give an an
swer he asked for a night to solve it,
and they agreed to give him a night.
He went home that night and he slept
over it, and the knowledge would not
come. and as his death had been prOph-
esied when he would get riddle that
he could not solve or a question that
he could not answer he never woke out
of that sleep more.
His grandsons returned 70 his castle
and stated who they were. and his
kingdom was divided between them.

how he knew that there was a gray
horse in the garden, for he surely did
not see him.
The eldest son saio: Very stupid
would be if 1 did not know, since5
found the gray hairs he was shedding
everywhere about"
And the King asked the second how
he knew IT was lame in the left hind
foot, and the second said very stupid
he would be IL he did not know that,
after seeing the marks of all his feet
and noticing that that particular foot
left a fainter mark than any of the
others. The King inquired of the
youngest son then how he knew it was
blind in the left eye, since he had not
seen him. and the youngest said he
would be very stupid indeed if he did
not know that seeing that the beast
ate everything to the right of his body
and nothing TO his left.
And when the King heard this he
concluded that his sons were ready to

Then he and his Queen bade good by

They travelled on and one until they
came into their gradfather's country
and on then until they came to his cas-
tie, and when they came there Finton-
mach came out TO question them and
asked them who they were and what
they wanted.
The eldest said he was butcher look
ing for service, the second said he was
a cook looking for service. and the
youngest said he was a shanachy, or
story teller, looking for employment
also.
Well" said King Fintonnach, "a
butcher, a cook and shanachy I want,
so I will employ all you three"
The butcher was sent to kill bull,
and after some little time a messenger
came to the King and asked him what
sort of an idiot he employed as a
butcher.
"Why?" the King queried.
Well, come out to the barn and see
for yourself said the messenger Out
to the barn went the King and there
he found the butcher changing two
vests as rapidly ever he could. One
time he put a wooden vest inside and a
cotton one outside, and the next min
ute he would be putting the cotton one
inside and the wooden one outside, and
he continued at this without ceasing
The King looked at him for a good

Napoleon Originator
of the Press Bureau

Napoleon knew what was going on.
He was the inventor of the press clip
ping system. He had diligent men
who kept watch for Objectionable ar
ticles.
When the articles appeared he would
write like this-tO FOuche. OF course:
"The Journal de rEmpire still goes on
badly. What business has II to insert

hagen intelligence Had the EDITOR

fool. Tell him so from me. II he does
not change his ways shall change tho

Napoleon was the first of sovereignS
to realize the usefulness of a press
bureau He wanted public opinion
turned his way. He did not summon
the journalists to his palace and ex-
plain his policy to them. He was deep
er than that. He used Fouche. One
day he wrote TO FOuche from St Cloud:
Have articles written bringing the
conduct of the King of Sweden. who
has shamefully abandoned one of hgs
towns to the enemy, into strong re-
lief The articles must be conceived
in a serious tone. Ycu must

All this was before the day OF th.~
