asoW II happened that the king was

road in front of his castle dressed in
tne beggard's rags. The fairy was be-

mind to call her, but you must not

does not wish to resume his form again,
If he wishes to remain upon your
throne you will ave to live a beggar
as you have wished"
All went happily for a time with the
beggar king. He ate the rich food
from the kings table and drank from
"a golden cup n wore the rich robe

saw one of his attendants drop some
thing into a dish of food, and, being
suspicious, the king gave it to one Of
the dogs, which ate it and died instant
ly.
After that he ate with trembling
and fear. His robes grew heavy and he
wished for the comfortable clothes he
wore when he was a beggar and
tramped along the road.
The cares of his kingdom weighed
heavily upon him. and his soft bed no
longer brought sleep to his weary body.
The coach which he expected to en-

could see him n shout Long live the

GREAT WAKE COUNTY DAY
New Court House Aceepted-secre1
tary Daniels, Judge Clark, and |
Governor Speak. !

notwithstanding of the Navy
Josephus Daniels, Governor Craig and
Chief Justice Walter Clark were
guests of honor Of Wake County for
the formal opening and dedication OF
the county,s court house and admin-
istration building. There many
hundreds OF people here from every
section Of theNcounty and tho 0xsr-
cises continued from 1920 a.. m. to.
3 p. M, the building being thronged
with people throughout the day.
Mr.. Daniels congratulated the coun-
ty upon the erection of the county
court house, which he declared was
more especially for the comfort and
convenience of the peopls than for the
bar. He dissented from the view that
lawyers are prominently the cham
nels of justice and insisted that the
jurors are the great bulwark for the
people. He hoped that this new tenn
pie Of justice would mean a new dedi-
cation of the hearts and mind of the
people to the cause of right and JUS
tice and a new reverence for these
great principles. He declared that
IlO great JuT1SLS WHO udQ 1Q-Cn0 QdSU
made their impress have been men
who dared to blaze the way for new
adaptions of law for the needs of their
people rather than following blindly
the ~precedents, which he characterize
ed as being oftentimes stumbling
blocks to real justice.
Governor. Craig declared that he
honored the commissioners for their
wisdom and courage in erecting in
the Capital City a splendid structure
such as this to be venerated as a
temple Of Justice for many years to
come. He declared that justice is
the spiritual energy of the state and
is not a r%espector Of persons. :
Chef Justice Clark commanded the
fearless enterprise of the county
authorities in the erection of the
splendid building which he character
lied IS a county administration
building as well as a court house, and
appealed for the county highways
and other internal conditions to be
brought UP to a standard such as
that set by the present splendid build
ing.

Great eritaln Needs s.ooo.ooo &c.


{ London-"Great Britain needs 3d.
100000 men by next spring." This
declaration vas made by Brig. Gen.
Eric Swayne, director of recruiting in
the northern command, in a speech at
Hull. General Swayne estimated that
Germany still has between 9,000,0 900
and 10000, 900 men from the ages OF
18 to 45 and that, therefore, it was
useless to talk about wearing out Ger
many.
In the spring, said he, Germany
would lose more men than the Allies,
which would balance the numbers Of
the Allies and the Central Powers,
but if Great Britain should raise 81
100000 additional. Germany probably
would recognize that it would be
fruitless to continue.
