The Seven Brother Giants

In their old age. Their only wish was to
leave some protection for the people
whom they loved when they themselves
had gone. About that time a good fairy
gOdmother made her home in the Anselm
forest To her the giants told their wish
pie after their death. Fortunately the
good old creature knew that giants could
not climb trees for when they left the
ground their strength left them, SO she
said:
Il will give the Anselm people this
protection. At the death of every brother
Of you seven giants. tree shall spring
up which will grow so tall that 1t will
be safe shelter for all those who climb
into its branches. No giant will ever try
to climb the trees. for that would mean
weakness to the monster. The branches
shall be so thick that many may hide
in them with their bows and arrows. If
any giant shall ever live again about
Anselm he will fear'these hidden enemies
with their deadly weapons. so will not
go into the forest"
The fairy was as good as her word, for
when the seven brothers died great trees
sprung up Their leaves, which looked like
hands with many fingers, beckoned their
welcome to the travellers who journeyed
through the woods for wild game. In the
fall the huge trees dropped their acorns
to give food to the forest animals. Year
after year more acOrnS fell and more
sprouted and grew into trees until tall
oaks the giants of the forest, stood guard
over all the people of England 1t must
have been as the fairy said for no ILL
natured monster was ever known to visit
anywhere within the boundaries of the
island of the happy people. who have
never seen a real giant since the giant
oak trees have grown over their land.
fortresses to defend all who take shelter
within their branches.

Mamma stopped short (she had been

OF chocolate candy and told you that you

1t is not good for little children to eat

peoples, to return after long and perllous
voyages 70 tell the wondering CROWDS oi
the strange things they had discovered.
One of the boldest and most prollnc OF
explorers Of the early times was Vasco
da Cana of Portugal. But it Is better
to quote from the interesting book, Ihe
Worlds Discoveries" than to try TO
give you the story Of da Cana in my own
words.
What Columbus sought, Vasco da
Cana found. Indeed, it would be difficult
to overestimate the consequences OF his
voyage. 1t opened a new epoch in the
worlds development. In Importance. 1t

cries.
lone circumstance shows the immense
influence of Marco Polo in stimulating
the spirit of exploration. There was
mythical parsonage called Prester john
of whom much was heard in Europe from
the twelfth century down to compare
lively. late day. He was reputed to be
a mighty priest-king, reign1ng In almost
uncomfortable splendor over a great Chris
tian kingdom. A score Of archbishops
sat on his right and a hundred mitered
bishops on his left hand. The thousand
knights and a hundred thousand footmen
were his bodyguard. In his palace the
corflmonest articles were of gold studded
with gems. All these fables Europe be-
lieved, and they seemed to derive conflr-
nation from the narrative OF Marco
Prester John and locates him In eastern
Asia We are not surprised, therefore.
that Vasco da Cana was especially
instructed to seek the kingdom of Prester
John. Accordingly we find him every
where inquiring for Christians in eastern
Africa and India; and the expectation of
encountering them led him and his fol-
lowers into some ludicrous mistakes.
Unlike Columbus, Cana did not origi-
nate the scheme of his voyage, but was
selected by the king to take command of
the expedition which he proposed sending
out. He was already known as man
Of energy and capacity and we'll versed
in nautical matters.
1.-The fleet was made up Of three ves-
sels-the flagship, the San Gabriel. the
San Raphael, commanded by Paulo da
Cana, and the Berro. by Nicolau Coelho,
with a store ship.
new departure. Instead of creeping along
the coast, as had been done by his prede-
cassOrs. he boldly shaped his course
through the mid-Atlantic or the Cape of
Good Hope. Thus he did not sight land
again for ninety-three days, nearly three
times as long as Columbus was out of
sight of land. Then he made his landfall
at st. Helena bay. not far from the cape.
1t was q bold stroke, and wise as 1t
was novel. Sailing vessels at the present
day follow almost precisely the route
which this daring Portuguese struck out.
1t avoids battling currents.

anchor in st. Helena bay. There he re-

He had barely finished the garment
Help! Fire"' came the words Of some one
in distress. John dropped the garment
he was spreading afresh on his ironing
table and ran out at the back door. for
A slight curl Of smoke could be seen ris-
ing from the roof of a one-story summer
kitchen in the block directly opposite the
backyard of John Chinaman's shop. And
lady waving her arms excitedly was
calling in faint voice: Help, Fire.
John ran as fast as he could to the aid
Of the helpless woman. He found that a
fire in the summer kitchen, a long, low
board room attached to the rear Of very
handsome house. had burst through the
fragile brick chimney and had ignited the
dry shingles. The servant girl who had
been responsible for the accident, having
built too fierce fire in the kitchen stove.
had gone to the market on an errand for
her mistress and there was not a soul
about the place to put out the fire. The
neighbors had not even heard the call for
help. and only John Chinaman came to
her assistance till after the fire had been
extinguished.
The first thing that John did was to
grab a bucket Of water and toss II up
over the place beside the chimney where
the slight flame was seen. Then he
brought SOiuc ooAcS IL OiI Oil OuI1iOdcC
and climbed upon them to the low roof
Then he called to the lady to hand him
pals Of water as fast as she could do So
After some five minutes fast work John
had the fire in the roof entirely extin-
guished. AS he was descending several
neighbors who had at last heard the call
for help (for the mistress Of the place had
kept on calling Fire! Help while she
handed UP water to the Chinaman) came
quickly into the yard. asking excited
questions. And Immediately behind them
came running three boys. whom the
Chinaman recognized as his tormentors.
