stomach a little bit with the food and
drink and that he was quite ready to
have supper.
Angry beyond comprehension, the
princes offered another wager. They
agreed to get up a furnace which a man
of the emperor's son In laws party was
to get into. If he did not burn up the
emperor's son in law was to have all
their fortunes and treasures, and, on
the other hand, if he did burn up they
would get the princess, his wife and all
the companions.
tremendous furnace was heated
and the man who drank up the lake
jumped in. Once In the oven the inn
mense quantities of the water which
he had swallowed put out the fire in
less time than it takes me to tell
Seeing this, the sultan's sons got aw-
fully scared and implored the emperor's
son in law to let them have a third
and last bet, to which he consented.
They proposed that a quick footed man
from his party should run into this and
that mountain to get a jug full of
water while they sent a witch to do the
same, and whichever of the two re
turned first would be the winner. So
the emperor's son in law chose the
man who overlook the bird within
three hours, gave him the jug to bring
in the water, while the old witch got
a pumpkin flask. The witch flew up
in the air and the man started to run
into this and that mountain, got there
first and immediately reached out for
the water. And Just while he was
filing the jug to the brim the witch
arrived.
Now, you wouldn't believe 1t, but 1t
is just as / say. for before he had a
chance even to as much as look up and
see what sort Of bird touched him,
she took the jug and, leaving him the
empty pumpkin flask was off on her
way back. Well, of course, while the
man had to stop to fill the pumpkin
flask again the witch got fine start.
In the meanwhile the man who heard
the grass grow heard from afar the
rustic OF her wings. Quickly he ran
to the emperors son In law and said
Listen, the witch cheated our fellow
awfully. She took the jug with water
which he just filled and left him the
empty pumpkin flask Thus she got a
fine start and will be here In another
moment. can hear the rustic Of her
wings Then the emperor's son in
law called the man who had thrown
lance up into the sky which had
never returned. lie commanded this
man TO hurl spear up into the clouds,
which struck the witch, so that she
turned a somersault In the air and
spilled all the water she was carrying
or course, the princes lost this wager
also, and presently the emperor's son
IN law and his 1000 companions re-
turned TO their homes with great piles
OF treasure, and perhaps they are liy-
ing happily today Who can say?

cess was willing, but said that she
wished to take only that man who was
able to throw an arrow across the big
towers Of the city walls. The emperor
consented to her wish, and next day
the pashas, princes and counts as
sembled in the imperial castle
All tried one after the other. but none
could throw the arrow as high as the
city wall, much less across the high
towers. Now, when the princess saw
this she asked her father to send for
the slave whom he had sent to prison
week ago and have him try to throw
the arrow.
The emperor not a little astonished
at her request, for he thought the lad
had perished In prison long ago for
want of food sent Immediately after
him. But his amazement grew consid-
erably when he saw how fat the pris-
oner had become and how splendid he
looked. He handed him the arrow to
throw across the towers, while the
noblemen laughed at the youngster
who was going to try to do what they
could not accomplish. But soon the
laughter stopped as If it had been cut
in two, for they saw the arrow shoot
across the tower and sink itself in
marble block two yards deep. On see
ing this the emperor paid no attention
whatever to the lads humble descent.
but made him knight on the spot and
gave him his beautiful princess as his
wife. not to speak OF costly presents
besides.
or course now, having been conquered
like that, the pashas, princes and
counts were angry beyond saying,
Therefore to win the emperors daugh-
ter from the unknown hero they invited
them both to be their guests the coming
Friday, and also to bring with them a
thousand companions. They said be-
sides that they would prepare plenty
of drink and food, but if only drop of
the beverage remained, or a crumb of
the food the emperor's daughter would
be theirs and also the thousand com
panions They all agreed and promised
to be there at the time appointed.
At the start on Friday only 995 men
arrived, but the emperor's son in law
aid not worry and with his wife
marched at the head of the crowd. On
the way he met a man who with one
ear was touching the ground. as though
listening to something.
How do you DOR Said the emperor's
son in law. For goodness sake, what
are you doing here?
"Why, sure enough, nothing at all.
AS had just a little time l was listen
ing to the grass TO hear how IL was
growing" said the man. When the
emperor's son ia law heard this he
asked: Would you like to join me,
brother? / have been invited to sup
per; you shall have good food there"
The man consented right away, and so
they were already 996 men. They pro-
ceeded ON their journey and in short

while they met man who was stand
ing in the middle of the road and look
ing toward every region of the heavens.
How do you do?" asked the emperor's
son in law. What are you looking
about for like that?" Il laid a wager
with a bird that 1 would be the swifter

hours at the mark waiting for him.
said the man.
The emperor's son in law marveled
about such swiftness and said: Would
you be willing to Join me, brother?
The princes have invited me to have
supper with them; you shall have good
food there" This man, too, consented
Immediately, and SO there were already
997 men. Presently in marching along
they came to man who stood in the
middle of the street and stared up into
the blue sky.
'sHow do you do?" asked the emper-
or's son In law. What under the sun
are you staring up like that for?" Il
have cast up javelin and now l have
waited here for three hours, but ut

son in law asked him also to join him,
which he Immediately did Now there
were 99S companions. After wandering
for about an hour they met man who
was scratching out the kettle where
600 pounds OF corn mush had been
cooked and eaten up by himself. How

In law. What on earth are you doing

replied the man, nothing at all. l

had only been more / could have stood

This man also was invited to join the
companions, which he did with the
greatest of pleasure so they were now
999 in all They went on. In another
hour they happened to meet man who
had just drunk up a whole lake and
was now watching the fishes struggle
along without water.
"How do your What are you doing

This man, too, was hidden TO join the
company, which he did with great Joy,

We here tell the people interested in
Stems Creek High School, at Florence,
that from a conversation we had Tues
day with DR.. w. t. Lowry, President of
Mississippi College, we learn that the
gentleman chosen as principal of our
school, Mr.. John Buchanan, is one of
the finest young men in the state, for
such work. He comes of a teaching fam
lily. Is closely related by blood to the
Berry's, of Blue Mountain. He has had
one years experience in teaching, and
preferred to finish his course Of senior
year at Mississippi College he6olre enter
ing the profession fully. The school he
taught wanted him again very much; but
it was too far from a railroad, and he
decided that Florence suited him best.
To the church people we say he is a
regularly ordained minister, but will not
enter any pulpit as pastor for several
years yet. But he will preach occasionally
if desired when invited to supply an
absent pastors pulpit. DR.. Lowry eulogies
him highly. All in all, we feel that we
are extremely fortunate in getting the
fine services of such an excellent Chris
