The White Giant.

One afternoon, about $50 years ago.
a boy was sitting in his grandmoth-
er's kitchen apparently dreaming, but
In reality he was holding a very re-
maskable conversation with--a white
giant.
Now you wonder why q giant
should be in n plain little Scottish
kitchen, and you viii be still more
surprised to learn that this giant
could make himself invisible, and
when in that state lived in a tea ket-
tie. The little boys name was
James. and James used to sit by the
fire--and think. For you must know
he was a thoughtful lad. One day
he noticed the lid OF the tea kettle
rising and falling in An agitated way.
and coming, as James did, of a super
stitious race, he thought that some
great force was imprisoned 10 this
kettle, and struNed to get out.
who are y6n } in here, and what
do you want?" he said. addressing the
kettle.
Space, freedom and something to
do. am great giant that wants
| room to work and be free"
What kind Of work can you do?"
Il will carry your ships. draw your
cars and lift your weights. will
plow your fields. SOW your grain and
thresh the harvests | will hew away
mountains and build up roads. | will
turn the wheels OF your factories: In
short. II your brain will direct, | Will
be a faithful servant. ready to fulnll
your commands"
James rubbed his eyes. And l
dreaming?" he said. aloud; but no,
there was the steam in the kettle
struggling TO get out He jumped up,
raised the lid, and out came mon
ster giant, with white beard and hair,
and muscles strong enough to do all
he had promised the boy.
Grandma came in and, tapping
James's cheek. she cried:
Have you nothing TO do all day
but tilt the cover OF that kettle? CO
about your tasks and be something In
the world"
.Oh. Grandma" said James. 81
have been doing a thousand days
work sitting here by the nreside."
You are an idle dreamer. SON" !,
Nevertheless, James's dream came
to more use than many a grown mans
work, because he had the faculty o1
thinking to purpose. and In ths
many talks he had with the friendi,
old white giant he learned the secrets
OF his power. DO you know who ths
lad James was? And what the whit.
giant was?
