THE GIANT AND HIS SERVANTS

leave him in the kitchen to help wash up the
cups and saucers."
The first thing that Jack saw in the kitchen
was a clock so big that he thought 1t would
take a whole day to make the minute hand
90 round the face OF it and whole month to
bring the hour hand round. The porter left
him on table Jack saw window, and with
in the window space he noticed the furnish
ings of little room; there was table that
was small compared with the Giants; there
were chairs and bed, and all were the same
size as in the house of human creature
Are you there, Brown Jillin3" said the
Giants porter.

We'll, leave it and come here"
A Young woman came from behind stock
ing that was hanging from line. She was
only a little less tall than Jack himself. She
had nice brown eyes. But her hair, which fell
about her shoulders, was coarse like the hairs
in a horses tail, and sticking in it were burrs
that never fell off. And between her shout
ders there was hump.
This youth is to help you to wash the cups
and saucers and be good servant to tho
Giant" said Michaeleen. I'll leave him with
you now, and l hope you'll get on well to-
gether" The doorkeeper with the cats eyes
then went out Of the kitchen.
Jillin didn't speak to Jack. She stood at the
table and washed big cup with scalding
water

NO" said Jack. "The girl l marry will be
as handsome as a pigeon"
Now, if Jack had been reared by well-man-
nered people instead of by the Hays of the
Long Teeth he would not have said that for
tears came into Jillin's eyes, although, hold
ing her head sideways, she smiled at him.
lack was not even sorry for what he had said.
Jack dried the cup and hung it on hook
she could reach. She put chair for Jack at
the little table and gave him piece Of bread
and sup of milk. And when he had eaten
she said: "One of US is in great danger to-
night. The Giants hunting hawks have flown
home and the Giant is in the habit of giving
them a human creature to devour. He is
asleep now Maybe before he wakens l can
advise you how to battle him when he comes
to take one Of US"

NDREW SUGAR ALMOND was
IA very mild looking little candy boy,
- with a nice pale pink suit of clothes
and pale pink cheeks. But he was really not
at all like his looks. His great ambition was
to go to sea and be sailor. One day he said
goodby to his father and mother and brothers
and sisters and started off.
After walking for miles and miles he reached
the sea- And there, lying at pier, he saw
fine ship made of cocoanut shell, with strong
waved paper sails. Her name was the Nifty
Nellie
That is the ship for me-" thought Andrew.
And he got on board when the captain and
sailors were not looking and hid in the hold.
Pretty soon the ship sailed away. Andrew
Almond began to get very hungry, SO he
ventured out. Some sailors saw him and said,
Why here's a stowaway,' and took him to
the captain.

took lack out Of the basket and flung him
toward the door. Jack thought he would
surely be dashed to pieces. But some one
who was standing in the doorway caught him
and he got only shaking. Good, Michael
cen, my porter" said the Giant and then he
lay down on the ground outside the house.
His big dogs came out and rubbed him and
stretched themselves upon him. Then he and
the dogs went to sleep.
Michaeleen, the porter with the cats eyes,
put Jack under his arm and went through the
house. In one room the Giants wife and his
three sons and four daughters were eating
meal. They were seated at a table of stone
and they ate out of stone vessels with big
wooden spoons.
What have you there, little Michael"
asked the Giants wife.

porter with the cats eyes. I'm going to

asked.

"And what family have you'" said Jack,
who always asked questions.

that makes him very useful to me"
"Is there any one that is like myself in your
house?" said Jack.

the kitchen girl. But as one mill in one day

They crossed the plain and went amongst
trees that grew up nearly to the sky. And
when they went past the trees they saw the
Giants house And beside the house there
were towers OF stone.

Jimmy was out In the cornheld feeling
very unhappy indeed because his father
~ had decided just at the last minute that
it would be too dangerous to let him
have that new air rife he wanted. jimmy
felt very much abused and unappreciated He
thought some of eating many green ap-
pJes as he could, because he had heard Aunt
Sally telling his mother about little boy who
got collie and died from doing that. But he
decided il would be better to run away, or
ms, stav hidden out in the cornheld over
night. because then they might be sorry and
give him the rife, and if he were dead he
couldn't use it.
So he sat down on a stack and dug his ell
bows hard into his knees and pretended TO
himself he didn't want any supper. Then the
sun began to go down. ever so slowly, and by
and by il got dark and the moon came out. 1t
was a beautiful moon, and Jimmy wasn't
afraid at a--oh, not at all.
But he jumped pretty hard all the same

Their Silence Recorded Is Our Shame

Their Silence Recorded Is Our Shame
THE attitude of an eminent attorney to-
i ward the impending struggle between con-
tractor grabbers and loyal Philadelphans for
the control of the next Administration is set
forth in another column. Mr.. Pepper is will
ing to trust the selection of the next Mayor
to the Republican party. He frowns upon
"amateurish" independent movements. and
would encourage them only in the most eX-
ceptional circumstances
The Republican party as constituted at
present in this city is in the hands Of the Or
ganzatlon, which has shown time and again
that 1t will put forward dsinterested citi-
zens for high office only when 1t fears defeat
by independents. Possibly this fear can be
usually expected to give the city Organiza-
tion Mayors of a higher type than the men
who become Organization Counclmen; but
Organization Councilmen can do az much
harm as a good Mayor can do good, as we
unhappily have learned in the last four years.
Undoubtedly party men of Mr. Peppers
type vote at primaries for good Councilmanic
as we'll as good Mayoralty candidates But
they are outnumbered, obviously. But so are
the officers in an army outnumbered by the
rank and file; yet the rank and file follow
the officers What is needed is good leaders;
and that It is possible in a Pennsylvania
party for a determined band of reorganizers
to wrest it's leadership from professional
politicians has been shown by the success of
Mr.. Palmer and his associates.
Mr.. Pepper notes with regret the indiffer-
ence of those who think of themselves as
representatives of "old Philadelphia" and
who hold themselves aloof from the political
interests OF the great mass of citizens. The
regret cannot be too much emphasized that
those from whom by tradition we are to ex-
pect hlgh-minded civic service refuse to ap-
pear on the platform or at the street corner
or wherever the needs of a campaign shall
call them, to contribute their eloquence and
their ideals in competition with the appeals Of
the ward heelers to whom they relinquish the
management OF their party.
1t may be some satisfaction to vote accord
ing to the conscience, but men who have been
trained for leadership are responsible for
more votes than their own, whether they
wish it or not, for their silence is recorded
In our shame.

THE HUMAN APPEAL

Far DER the waves of the seas desolatlon
Borne on the winds of the tempest-racked sky,
Drifts the red reek of the great coniagration,
Echoes a torturic and terrible cry
Brothers, brothers over the sea-
Locked in the throes OF deadllest strife,
Hark to the wall of humanity:
Turn from the shadow of death to life
Children are pleading, women are needing
Comfort and strength In the day of their woe;
All the bright land in it's anguish is bleeding
All its dear homes in mourning brought
low.
Brothers. brothers over the sea,
Never alone have you battled and bled;
Kinsmen OF all the struggle are we,
Ours are the wounded, the dying, the dead.
Look where your banners of triumph are way-
ing,
Needless of suffering, reckless OF loss;
There our battalions the stricken are saving,
Under the flag of the blood-red Cross
Brothers, brothers over the sea,
Deep are the burrows your cannon have
ploWed
Fearful their crlmsoned husbandry-
Over the harvest the mourners are bowed.
Ours not to Judge between guilty and blamelssa
Ours but TO sue for the captiYe's release,
Suceor the fallen, both knightly and namelesa
Plead for return OF the blessings OF Peace,
Brothers, brothers over the sea,
Ebbs not the tide OF bitterness yet?
Turn, from the fetters Of hate set free
Brothers, forgive! Forgive and forgetl
Lol in the East the morning is breaking.
Dawns a new day for the children OF mem
Hearts that with horror and anguish are aching
Welcome the light and rejoice once againl
Brothers, brothers over the sea.

Hark to the voice OF humanity.

THE loan shark will think twice before
i trying to fasten upon the future salaries
of city employees. A test in court may, of
course, set aside the opinion of City So
licitor Ryan; but loan sharks are not noted
for passion after court proceedings. What
ever may be private practice in the matter
of garnishment, the community can have
nothing to do with such mortgages of the
future against the present. AS Solicitor
Ryan Justly puts it. such methods virtually
amount to a species of peonage or chattel
slavery"
A Just loan, on just security, whether OF
personal character or physical collateral; a
just rate of interest. and just collection by
Just court procedure; but no personal host
age to a loan shark. That on the face of
1t, is the best public policy.

| JUDGE sULzBERGER's ruling that two
Y streets may be extended through the
gFounds Of Kirkbride's goes only little way
toward the solution of the problem with
which the city is confronted in the existence
OF so vast an obstruction in the way of the
people of West Philadelphia. Half measures
are Of doubtful value. The asylum would be
better located for its own needs and pur-
poses If 1t were somewhere outside the city,
and the interests of Philadelphia certainly re-
quire it's removal. The delay has already
been too long. The property would have been
bought by the city before this but for the
difficulty Of agreement on the price. 1t

A GOOD WORD FOR NEARING

To the Editor Of EVsTiH0 Ledger:
Sr-I was greatly amused In reading a letter
signed II. NJ B. in 1t he glorifes the fact that
DR. Scott Nearing has been dismissed from the
University of Pennsylvania, and then comes to
the hasty conclusion In which he terms the
dismissal OF the assistant professor as good
riddance OF bad rubbish" He gives no reasons
whatsoever He does not know Doctor Nearing
He calls him q radical" and associates him
with group OF men whose opinions are totally
diverse from those OF Doctor Nearing have
known Doctor Nearing personally for three
years. At every class he has impressed me as
being an enieient and inspiring teacher, one
who does most to make a student sef-reliant,
and one who Is instrumental in widening the
horizon OF every person who has the occasion
to hear him. My esteemed friend is somewhat
incorrect In stating that Doctor Nearing Is one
who, such the w. w. loafers like to
hear He has lectured TO students who, from
all surrounding circumstances, appear to be
far superior to an ordinary loafer; he has also
spoken to many distinguished persons and all
have enjoyed him. In fact. his theories have
been accepted by most people as representing
true social modernism
The dismissal Of Doctor Nearing Is deplor-
able. Such an arbitrary act savors of mediaeyal
dominance. II has undone In one blow what
the University has labored for so many years
sincerely hope the solution OF this grave
problem viii be found in such a satisfactory
way as to restore the University to its high
pinnacle In public opinion which It occupied be-
fore the arbitrary sjeetment Of this beloved pro-
fessor. ]. MARINEI.iI

while present ideas OF health and morality
are so much at variance with the law. There
are parks and parks. of course, but any sort
is likely to get by so extreme statute.
II does not write one down as an advocate
OF an "open Sunday" to venture the opinion
that people cannot be kept in doors on the
Sabbath and that II park is run with de-
cency and sobTiety. 1t isn't bad place for
them to get breath OF air and a bit Of
recreation. 1t is no more lacking In civic
consciousness to suggest that statutes unen-
forced or held up TO laughter by evasions at
$3.50 apiece. cast the whole majesty OF our
law into disrepute.
