Al SGMEME of JOHNS

John was a sleepy-head, so celebrated
indeed, that he had never been known to
wake up by what his family called a
process. He had either to be forced
out of bed in the morning by physical
strength on the part Of his big brother. or
cold water dropped OF his facial
ways some heroic measure to get him TO
breakfast. So when he went off to college,
1t was only natural that he should be pre-
sented with alarm clocks from two of his
numerous aunts.

mother; but John took them both. After
he had been established for some time in

a humorous account of 10Y he managed
to awake with the help of his two mont
tors.
He set the alarm OF one ut the hour of
rising and placed 1t at the head Of his bed
the other he set fifteen minutes later, and
each night placed 1t at the head of the
stairs outside Of Lis landlady's door.
As his alarm went off In the morning, his
first thought was that the clock on the
stairs would make itself heard in ffteen
minutes. This aroused him so fully that
he was able to spring out of bed on this
instant. 1t would never do to startle the

UNCLE JACKS
SATURDAY. TALK

My Dear Girls and Boys:
All children are fond Of chocolate, so
you will all be interested In an article l
saw the other day in a Washington paper:
This article tells what chocolate is and
how 1t is obtained. I quote from 1t:
In the United States the taste for choco-
late Is growing with the greatest raapldlty.
In twenty years the importation OF cacao
lthe chocolate beam has grown from nine
million pounds to sixty-three million
pounds. Right here is a good place to
settle the difference between the words
cocoa, cacao and coca. Cocoa Is the name
of the palm tree which produces the CO.
coanut, a fruit too well known to every
one to need description.
Cacao. Is the fruit of another tree wnlcn
grows in tropical America, and In some
parts Of Asia and Africa. 1t is from this
tree that we obtain chocolate. :.
Coca Is the name given to a shrub OF
South Africa, the leaves of which are
used by the natives to allay hunger and
thirst and to deaden pain. From these
we get cocaine.
Having once tasted the thick, delicious
chocolate grown, made and brewed In Cen
trail America, you cease to wonder at the
early enthusiasts who named the plant
s'Theodromo" dhe nectar OF the gods).
One reason why our chocolate Is INFERIOR
to that of other countries Is that ours is
aduiterated with pipe-clay. Pipe clay Is
Cheap and heavy, weighing five times as
much as the cacao, and Yankee manu-.
facturers are not above using as mucn OF
it rs they can without being discovered.
The finest cacao bean in the world comes
from Luzon, in the Philippine Islands.
These beans grow in a very odd fashion,
in large, pear-shaped pods from Ave to
ten inches In length. They are attached
to the trunk of the tree by short stems.
Rlpeness Is indicated by a delicious aroma
OF chocolate tina pervades the orchard.
The pods are cut off with sharp shears,
or with a keen-edged hooked knife fasten-
ed on the end OF a bamboo pole. They
are thrown Into heaps and within twenty.
four hours are opened. Each fruit is cut
in half to remove the mass of pulp and
seed. The beans are separated according
to size. the largest bringing the highest
price In the chocolate markets of the
world.
Monkeys, rats and parrots are the enc
niles the cacao farmers have to fear. All
three of these animals cut open the pods
and eat the beans. being quite as fond of
chocolate as boys and girls. Yours truly,
JACK

THE HARP THAT GREM
fRu BELLE Mnses.l

(BY Belle Moses
It was a great day throughout the coun-
try when Jack the Giant Killer took pos
session of the castle. The Giant had been
the terror of the nelghborhood for 80 long
that the poor people could scarcely call
their lives their own. 1t seemed strange to
have that gloomy stronghold opened wide
to the air and sunshine, and stranger stih
to see Jack restored to his own. The
castle had belonged to his father. a valiant
knight. who was slain in his sleep by the
Jack and his mother took possession Of
the castle as soon as all traces of the
Giant and his evil deeds had disappeared.
Here they lived for many years IN great
content. The Beanstalk withered away
after 1t was cut down and the steep hill
which had stretched between Jacks old
home and the castle gradually dwindled; II
became once more the gentle slope it had
been before the Giants heavy tread had
made such deep burrows along Its sides.
utttbb Gfhree nrscious things from Tie Gianfss
castle-the Hen that laid the golden Eggs,
the Money Bags full OF precious gold co n
and the Magic Harp Of geld that played
All these treasures the Giant had stolen
from Jacks, father, and Jack was only
claiming his own when he took them
away. The Harp was so small that Jack
had no difficulty In tucking 1t under his
arm as he ran with the Giant at his heels.
After the Giant was slain the Harp was
silent for many years. From the first 1t
resisted all of Jacks efforts to snake 1t
sing. so he saw 1t carefully stored in a
large disused chamber. and there were so
many other pleasures In his life that he
soon forgot all about 1t.
He grew up a very noble, handsome
youth, the pride of the countryside and the
10Y OF his mother. He was fond of the
hunt, and one evening returning from the
chase, he CHANGED to pass the chamber
where he had hidden the Harp. To his sur
prise he heard a voice chanting in low,
tender melody:
