next day set out for the great farm
where work was waiting for Nicholas.
Today il you were to take a look at
Nicholas you would see a young man
just entering little cottage, with
little boy and girl tugging at his coat,
and bright young woman coming to
meet him. BY a window sits an elderly
lady with happy smile on her face as
she sees Nicholas coming in. The cough
she had two years previous is entirely
gone.
Nicholas worked hard those 10 years
and now owns a farm himself. Only
once has he been to New York, but
when he returned he brought back with
him waif he had picked up on the
streets Today this boy also is work
ing hard to earn money enough to buy
a farm of his own.

morning, bright and early, Nicholas set
out to hunt work. But he did not find
1T soon as he expected to. The sec
ond day he did; and went to work in
a little one horse affair, where they
sold everything from a needle to
frying pan But trade was not as
brisk as it might be and soon the store
was sold out to a little shriveled up
Italian, who Immediately discharged
Nicholas, saying he didn't want any
lazy boys about doing nothing.
The next three weeks were spent in
hunting work. but nobody seemed to
need any extra help.
In the meantime the little money
that they had was rapidly disappearing.
They had moved into one of the large
tenements, which are SO numerous in
the slums of New York There were
two other families in the room they oc-
cupied. One woman was aged and in
firm; another had baby, which was
really starving to death for want of
proper food.
For one year they lived this way,
Nicholas doing odd jobs, such as hold
ing horses, carrying huge grips and
other such things, but he could not
seem to find regular employment His
mother early that spring had deveI-
oped cough; it got worse, and finally
it prevented her from doing the wash
ings she had hitherto done. Then came
the heat of the summer, and accounts
in the papers showed that people were
dying from prostration.
The two families who had lived with
them all that year were now put out
because they could not pay the rent.
Other families took their places. But
one day lady came to see them. She
talked to Nicholas and finally persuad-
ed him to accept enough<moAey from a
charitable organization to buy their
tickets and set out for the great west
One month later they stepped off the
train at a little town in western Ne
braska, just two years from the day
they arrived at Ellis island. They

How the Children. Killed the
Giant
BY HELEN LoNsDALE

Once upon time in country far
away lived a cruel giant, whose habit
it was on certain day each week to
sally out of his strong castle on the
top of high mountain into the village
below and pick out his choice of human
beings to eat.
Pretty soon there were but few
people left and they decided to try and
kill the giant. But how was it to be
done? They thought and thought, but
nothing turned up, and meanwhile in
few days the giant would be down
again and this time he would take the
rest of them.
Among the people who had been
spared were a poor man with his wife
and two children, boy of 9 and a girl
of z. One day their mother told them
to go out and play, but not to go far
away. But while the children were
playing they wandered off and got lost.
Now, these children had not been told
about the giant and knew nothing
about him.
BY and by they came to a high noun

How that blue line in the distance
grew At first it was a mere line, not
easily to be distinguished against the
blue of the sky But now the build
ings began to grow plain
Nicholas brown eyes were dancing.
This was his promised land The mis-
sionary back in Russia had told him
about the Israelites' promised land; but
this certainly was going to prove more
delightful, for he had no enemies to
overcome the Israelites had
But there were more enemies to be
overcome than Nicholas or his mother
had any idea Of
Nicholas first disappointment came
to him after the officials who examine
the vessels came. They announced
that there were two cases of fever on
board and the boat was quarantined
Nicholas and his mother were two of
the few fortunate ones who did not
take the fever He would go up on
deck and sit gazing at the big city
that lay just beyond.
Slowly the long weeks passed, and
one bright morning the quarantine was
lifted. Nicholas and his mother were
among the first load of immigrants
that were transferred from the large
vessel that had brought them from
their own countries to Ellis island,
where they were to be examined be-
fore being allowed to enter the large
city.
Nicholas was found to be perfectly
sound, strong, and healthy. So also
was his mother
AS they stepped off the little ferry
that had brought them from Ellis ISL
and TO New York, Nicholas got
his first view of New York city. But
he was yet to get his first view into it's
life.
They went to cheap lodging house.

tain with castle on it. The children
did not know who lived there, and they
thought that as they were very hungry
there might be some kind person
that lived there who would give them
something to eat and lodging for one
night SO they began to climb the
mountain, but when they got to the top
they heard something putting and
snorting like a steam engine. Then
out of the ground rose fairy who
said Alas. why have you come here?
Know you not that wicked giant lives
here, whose practice ii is to eat human
beings? The only thing I can do is to
make you invisible"
She was just in time, for in another
minute the giant appeared putting and
blowing He had just come home from
hunting and was carrying all kinds of
animals. The fairy said: 'It is his
custom now to stay home till tomorrow
morning, when it is time to go and pick
out people to eat" After the giant had
gone into the castle the fairy said II
must leave you now. / can hear the
giant snoring, and once he is asleep he
viii not wake up for six hours" Then
the fairy left them.
1t was almost dark now and the little
children went into the castle without
rear, because the fairy told them that
the giant would sleep for six hours
They wandered into the room where the
giant was asleep, and the first thing
they saw was a sword which hung on
the wall, with these words written be-
meath it:
Who has this sword
Be he large or small,
Shall kill his enemies,
One and all.''
The boy took down the sword and
said to his sister; Il am going to kill
the giant" He walked over to the
couch and with one blow cut off his
head. Then. they looked around the
castle and found many gold pieces and
Jewels and freed all the prisoners the
giant had confined BY this time it was
morning and they went home and lived
happily ever after.

NO TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Cavalier Co Teachers Will Hereafter
Attend Summer SChOo!

A meeting of the county sunerin-
tendents of schools in Walsh. Grand
Forks, Pembina, Ramsey and Cavalier
counties. together with President Nc
Ney of the state university, was held at
Grand Forks last Thur day afternoon.
Many important changes have been
made in regard to summer school
education at the university. The most
important change is the including of
Ramsey and Cavalier counties as factors
in the university summer school and the
abolishing of teachers institutes in
these two counties. In the future the
teachers of Ramsey and Cavalier will
have the state university as Il mecca for
summer education and by this new
move 200 teachers in Ramsey and l75
teachers in Cavalier counties will be
affected
This addition to the field of the "U"
summer school means much to the
university, in that several hundred
teachers will go there every summer to
take up their work and their influence
will be big advertisement for the "U"
to the hundreds of pupils throughout
the state. The movement is also of
advantage to the teachers and schools
in these counties. In the future these
teachers, who have heretofore had only
chance to study for first grade certi-
ticates at the best, will have an op-
pcrtunity to take college work during
the summer and in this way gradually
complete college grade work and secure
diplomas for teaching in high schools.
The givlna uf 1nlted numner of
college sui ject, vii also broaden the
| field of the teachrr, ed ucaLlon IN this
state and the movement will result in
good from more view points than the
financial
Besides this important item the con-
ference will immediately hire teachers
for he summer school. decide on the
exact amount of coll, ge work to be given
the first summer, arrange the schedule
of studies and in fact look after all the
necessary details.
