He came of very respectable fam
lily. Mr.. and Mrs. Robin had built
their nest quite early that spring in
the walnut tree in the lane. All
through the sweet. spring sunshine
Mrs. Robin, the mother bird, sat on
the pretty eggs, while the devoted
father brought her dainty tidbits to
tempt her appetite. When the young
robins craned their scrawny necks
from the nest and looked out upon the
strange world, no one would have sup
posed that any one of them would
prove different from the usual prom
Using nesting of proud parent birds.
But it was not long before their doting
mother discovered that one of her chill
dren showed a distinct liking for his
own way. Do what she could, she
could not persuade him that his pa
rents were wiser than he and knew
what was best for him.
No matter what the occasion hap
pened to be, young Cock Robin insist
ed on having his say, and would ex-
press his opinion in very shrill CHR
runs indeed. The dainty morsels
brought by Father Robin for the
mother were often snatched up by this
selfish young bird, and if he had indi-
gestion afterward it only made mat
ters worse.
Father Robin often felt like spank
ing his wayward son, but the mother
love of Mrs. Robin always defended
him, and things were often stormy in
the cozy nest that spring.
How long he might have been al
lowed his own way 1 cannot say, but
the day came when it was time to
teach the young robins to fly Instead
of taking things by degrees and wait.

parents, young Cock Robin started out

{ On a certain island there once dwelt
in the olden time a good king and
queen, who had one little son, the heir
to the throne This princeling was the
pride of their hearts, but was also the
cause of much grief to them, for
more selfish little fellow never lived
than Prince Florizel He seemed to.
think that the Island Kingdom be-
longed to him-each stick and stone of
it and every mortal living upon 1t. He
grew more tyrannical each day he
lived, and the wise men of the king
dom shook their heads in dismay,
knowing that it would be a sorry day
for them when the prince should come
to be king at his much loved fathers
death.
Now, when Prince Florzel had
grown to be q good-sized youth his
parents put their heads together and
decided that they would send him off
to travel and see something of the
world.
So. Prince Florizel went forth right
happily in beautiful ship richly stored
with all necessities. Servants he had
in plenty, and music and games to
while away the long hours of sailing.
The fine craft sped lightly over the
sparkling waters until it touched at
beautiful shore.
All landed at the command OF ther
prince, and, he leading the way, began
to explore the strange country.
strange country it seemed, indeed, for
they met with nothing but field after
field of crimson flowers waving In the
wind Many men worked amidst them,
gathering the blossoms, while others
carried them away in large baskets.
With a commanding gesture, the prince
bade one of them stop and answer his
questions. But very firmly, and speak
ing no word the toiler motioned the
prince aside and went on about his
business.
The prince was so astonshed and
enraged at being disobeyed that he was
about to call to his people to fall upon
the offender, when he noticed that they
had all sunk down in slumber where
they stood. The flowers had stolen
their senses away. A feeling of awe
and fear made the prince cool down,
and, conquering his anger with great
effort, he followed the hower-laden
worker inland.
BY and by, when almost tired out

for himself, and, gaining confidence
by two or three successful flights,
suddenly made up his mind that he
would no more be a mollycoddle like
his brothers and sisters, but, being
quite grown up, would start out TO
see the world and seek his fortune. :.
He headed for the woodland and
was lost to view. When his fond pa
rents returned no trace of him was
to be seen. They were greatly per-
picked and somewhat frightened, but
Mr.. Robins good sense came to the
rescue and he said:
"Do not fret, my dear. No doubt a
taste of the world will do our boy
good II will teach him that he is not
the only one to be considered. Never
fear that he will not return, a little
the worse for wear perhaps, but
wiser and more agreeable bird than
when he left us?" And with this bit
of wisdom poor Mrs. Robin was forced
to be content
Meanwhile what had become of our
Young Cock Robin? He felt as though
he was having the time of his life just
now. He investigated everything ne
saw that interested him, with no one
to warn him of the danger, and ate
anything that looked good to him.
But by and by his tummy began TO
feel very queer, and his wings 1elt
weighted down with lead. He sat on
the limb of friendly oak and Won
dered what was the matter with him.
A catbird with her plaintive New,

''What's the matter? You don't seem
fit" she exclaimed.

our Cock in a very cocky manner in

THE sLUMBER1NG PRINCESS

with such unusual exercise over stony
roads, he came to the fields and into a
beautiful garden. Here, reposing upon
"a marble bench, richly carved, lay the
most beautiful lady the prince had ever
seen. The slumbering princess was
surrounded with attendants. who con-
tinually heaped the scarlet, sleep-giv-
ing flowers upon her, replacing the
withered ones with fresh ones as they
were brought in.
The prince stepped forward impul-
sively to arouse the lady, but one. of
the attendants waved him aside.
"Why may l not awaken her when I
so desire@' he demanded angrily.

NEW PRIZES

Dear Boys and Girls:
AM so glad that the artists didn't
really need the little scolding I gave
u them last Sunday. There were so
many pretty designs received right
away that it made me quite proud. I
hope that you will do as well in the
new topics announced.
Don't say anything about Halloween
and see what your Aunt Laurie has
planned for you, but in the stories for
October 80 tell me all about your last
Halloween. 1t surely was an exciting
evening. OF course mother would
not let you stay out very late
and when o'clock came you were hav-
ing such a good time that it seemed
as though you couldn't leave. Tell me
what made you have such good time.
Did you tic-tac peoples windows and
were you dressed as ghosts to frighten
anyone who would be frightened?
Maybe mother let you bring some of
your little friends home and you bobbed
for apples and walked downstairs back
ward with looking glass-and-oh, so
many, many other funny things-tell
me all about it.
Now this is your chance, artists.
Your Halloween pictures should be a
perfect wonder of black cats, witches
and ghosts. Your exciting experience
while you were hanging the neighbor's
back gate on the telegraph pole last
Halloween would make a fine picture.
Dear boys and girls, 1 will have the
new pins right away, and 1 know they
will please you. Next week you may
have them and 1 am sure there will be
so many of the Juniors who want them
that each one will have to work hard.
You will notice this week that have
made a special announcement about
the delivery of the prizes. Two books
are waiting here for the prize-winners
who live in town. They are for Maude
Edwards and Charles Lamb Johnson,
and 1 am sure they have been wonder
ing why they didn't get them. 1 would
like so much to have visit from both
of these Juniors.
There may be a little lesson to- you
in the unfinished story this week. l
think it very pretty lesson, however,
don't you? OF course the real inter-
esting part of it had not developed
when the story stopped to let you tell
in your own way how the little prince
was punished for his seldshness. The
island must have been a most romantic
spot, don't you think? Red poppies are
brilliant, indeed and can you imagine
whole fields of them? I say poppies,
for 1 have imagined already that they
were poppies, haven't you? You know
popples grow that way and sometimes
they contain opium, which produces
sleep.

DAWN. OF INDUSTRIAL PEACE

The terms Of settlement of the great cloak
makers strike in New York constitute one Of
the most hopeful signs of the needed understand
ing and adjustment of the relations of organized
capital and organized labor The deplorable
feature of many labor controversies has been an
utterly indefensible refusal on either side to
recognize the, principle for which the other con-
tended. Employers have time and again chal-
lenged the very right of the unions to existence
1Ae unions have time and again challenged the
very basis tenets of their employers freedom.
In these respects both capital and labor have
fallen outside the spirit of the law and the con
Aitutien and by doing so both have weakened the
Justice of their causes. To the inevitable econ
omic loss pertaining to a strike has thus been
asdded ths moral loss always incident to denial
f practical charity
In the present New York case, the strike
pueht itself out TO basis of reasonable com
pnaise The unions for their part gain I'M

their part are sustained in their refusal to sacri
fee their constitutional right to contract. By
establishing what is called the preferential
union shop it results that tho unions gain the
conditions for which they have fought, while
the manufacturers do not surrender the prinel-
pie Of conducting their own business, for which
they have commended By agreeing 10 encourage
the unions, and TO preferentiallv employ union
labor, the employers concede everything which
the strikers could in justice demand BY reced-
ing from their demand to control the employers
right of contract the strikers have conceded a
point to which the employers could not have con-
sent6d without the loss of self-respect.
1t is because in great strike involving sew
cny thousand determined unionists and costing
in nine weeks $10000,000 in wages and many
other millions in loss upon the manufactured
product there was found a reasonable and Just
working basis for agreement, that the result sug-
gests the dawn of an epoch in industrial rela-
tons. In the light of this important phase, the
incidental benefits of better working conditions,
of shorter hours and improved wage schedules,
more than all the adjustment of the ''sweat
shop, are olcrshadowed, but of deep significance.
On the eve of Labor Day. this important step
toward an established industrial peace may we'll
stand as cause for congratulation to the country
as a whole.

"LABOR DAY"

Labor Day suggests the approximation of the
practical in the principle of democracy. It's
observance carries recognition of obligation
and guaranty of rights. 1t indicates the
concrete application of established theory.
The debt which commerce and industry and
capital owe to Labor is not yet paid. Perhaps
it were a millennial hope that it ever will be
fully discharged. So long as human nature
is constituted as it is, the greater reward will
continue to go to the few who concentrate the
work of the many. But Labor is beginning to
bridge the gap between its investment and its
dividend As it points and erects new standards
of human participation in profits, it means the
certain and constant broadening and elevation of
those standards upon higher planes of human
sympathy and new conceptions OF human Justice.

which Labor Day cannotes~ He is deaf who does
