ers and ran to the princess, calling:
''The spell is broken. We are Free"
and as they rushed to her she sprang
up with the prince. They looked
amazed at each other. and then the
princess face frightened, for she re-
membered how she and her father had
spoken Grossly.
The prince then stepped to the prin-
cess and whispered words to which she
replied aloud:
"If you will be kind and unselfsh."
Then they passed on to the ships,
which carried a good supply of the
scarlet flowers seed, and now in the
garden of the beloved King Florizel
and his wife can be seen the same
flower. HELEN MACE,

Hush, oh prince, or her dreams will
be troubled and then her prince will
never come.
After a while as Prince Florizel
gazed and gazed at the slumbering
princess, a sleeping sensation came
over him and he found himself say
ing:
"Sleep on, oh beautiful princess,
For when find the magic key,
1 shall come and take thee home with
me-"
Then as a gentle breeze stirred those
lovely fields of flowers Prince FlorizeI
fell down in slumber.
On the tenth day he awoke hearing
the flowers Whispering:
Awake, oh prince, go take thy
bride.
Prince Florizel went over to the
princess and, taking her hand, helped
her up. Before him stood the most
beautiful princess he had ever seen.
ooh, most lovely prince, you have
awakened on the tenth day and thus
broken the spell that bound me. No
other prince could have done what you
have done. 1 will consent to marry
you. You have also, dear prince, freed
yourself from all selfishness."
On the same day all of Prince Fiori-

The prince was so astonished 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 fiower-laden
worker inland.
BY and by, when almost tired out
with such unusual exercise over stony
roads, he came to the fields and into
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 I not awaken her when
so desire?" he demanded angrily.

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 a
more selfish little fellow never lived
than Prince Florizel He seemed to
think that the Island Kingdom be-
longed to him--eaeh stick and stone of
it and every mortal living upon it. 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 Florizel had
grown to be a 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 a 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 their
prince and, he leading the way, began
to explore the strange country. A
strange country it seemed, indeed, for
they met with nothing but field after

HONORABLE MENTION


HN HE prince, much to his astonish-
ment, received no answer from
4 the attendants with the excep-
ton of a push to another bench SIM
liar to the one the princess was on.
Here they forced him to lie down,
after which they caused him to smell
the flowers.
He gradually fell into a deep sleep,
with a vague memory of heaps OF
scarlet flowers and of the muteness of
the men.
The prince slept on SO long that his
parents became worried and set out
to find him. Whether by luck or in
stinct, the first place they landed was
on the enchanted island.
AS they passed through the fields of
scarlet flowers they saw a man, to
whom the king said:
''My son, the prince is lost. Do you
know where he ISL" and as he made
no reply the king turned to his wife,
who, with a smile, replied:
"Will you please tell us?'

Just before he left he asked who

good to mankind, but still he fell
short of the high standard.

ARE YOU AMONG THE GUILTY?

Editor The Argus: The worst of all the
many wrongs committed daily to ami
mails and birds is the wrong commit
ted by common usage and custom.
What mean is that, while we fully
realize that we do wrong, we neverthe-
less commit or permit it on the plea
that everyone else is committing or
permitting it. To this category of Of
lenses belong also the practice Of
shooting at birds with air rifles and the
cutting off the tips of dogs ears and
| tails.
| Usage and custom are so strong in
favor of these cases that 1t becomes
an actual impossibility, in many a
case of this nature, to punish the
wrongdoer, for the simple reason that
every one takes the act as a matter of
course. Recently a case came to my
attention where a party of five men, as
pious act of a Sunday morning,
clipped off the tips of four little pups
ears. OF course, the case is cruelty TO
animals" pure and simple. Upon in
vestigation, however, 1 was satisfied
that this was not the exception, but,
rather, the rule of general and COM
mon ignorance of the offense and of
| the existence of specific law for the
| punishment of such acts. 1t, there
fore. occurred to me that, in this case
as in all other similar cases, where ig-
norance is the plea, the proper step to

public to the particular act on the
statutes book of our state. governing
such cases, proving thereby that the
offense will, in the eyes of the law, at
| least remain an offense, regardless of
usage and custom.
Therefore, I beg you to print the
copv of the laws, here appended, and
to permit me to state that to torture"

is an offense punishable by fine of
