A Kind Act

There was once a very rich prince
who never gave any of his gold to
the poor. He hated beggars and when
they asked him for food or money he
often had them cast into prison. Often
he would go into the mountains and
come out very joyful. The people
wondered why, SO one day a man fol-
lowed him and discovered that all of
his gold was hidden there.
When the prince found out that his
secret had been discovered, he had the
man who had watched him cast into
a dungeon and condemned to die. The
king of these lands, who was very just,
heard of his cruelty and summoned
the prince TO his court. He said:
"You have been very wicked. shall
release this man and as punishment
to you l am going to send my soldiers
to take possession of all your gold.
You are now beggar yourself, but I
shall be kind to you" And he gave
him loaf of bread before casting him
out.
The prince was walking along the
road the next day and his bread was
nearly all gone. A poor beggar
woman came up TO him and asked for
just a crumb. For the first time in
his life the princes heart was touched
and he gave her all that he had. I'm
mediately she became a wonderful
fairy and she said: "At last you have
done a kind act. shall go to the
king and make him restore your goldl"
And she did, and ever after that the
prince was kind and generous TO the
poor.-Percy Braitman, Christian
street.

GARMENT WORKERS HAVE

Organizer for Future, She
Has Planned 10 Years for
This Fight

She Is little. but she is mi yhty, this
diminutive Miss Anna Bitvackoff the
Joan Of Arc of the garment striking
girls OF the Quaker City
To look at her one would never think
that for 10 years she has been working
in the garment making houses of Phila-
delphla, and at the same time, without
salary, has been organizing the girls of
the city Into effective corps so that when
a crisis such as the present one arrived
the girls would "be prepared"
Though she ia but slip of woman,
the high officials of the union go to her
and confer with her about this and
that" in n really awed manner. This
morning at the Sd Regiment Armory men
went to her for orders. and girls came
from all directions asking her questions
and taking -ders.
without the least sign of fatigue. all
though she had been doing pickle. duty
since daylight. and with cool and col
lected mien, she met the quest!oners one
and all, and gave orders with the abil-
ity of a general. She Is president OF
Council No. 10.
But there is another side to the life of
this little woman, the home side-and she
speaks of 1t with as much enthusiasm
as she does the vital questions which are
taking her time In connection with the
garment makers strike.
The home side of her life centres In an
ancient couple, her father and mother
with whom she lives at 2ii7 South 7th
street. She is their sole support.
Indeed, have a real reason to work so
hard organizing the girls" said the little
woman this morning as her deep brown
eyes sparkled with emotion, the excite

struck the fire-lSilled forests. Winds
from Hudson's Bay had driven the flames
In an unbroken sea into the west, ana
they had left not vestige Of life or q
patch of green. Blind Gray Wolf could
not see the blackened world, but she
sensed II. II recalled to her memory
Of that other fire, after the battle on
the Sun Rock; and all of her wonderful
instincts, sharpened and developed by her
blindness, told her that to the north
and not south-lay the hunting grounds
they were seeking. The strain of dog
that was in Kazan still pulled him south
It was not because he sought man, for to
man he had Tow become as deadly an
enemy as Gray Wolf herself. II was
simply dog instinct to travel southwark; /;
in the face OF fire 1t was wolf instinct
to travel northward. At the end OF the
third day Gray Wolf won. They re-
crossed the little valley between the two
ridges, and swung north and west into
the Athabasca country, striking course
that would ultimately bring them to
the headwaters Of the McFarlane River.
Late in the preceding autumn q pros
pector had come up to Fort Smith, on
the Slave River, with a pickle bottle
filled with gold dust and nuggets. He
had made the find on the McF'arlane.
The first malls had taken tho news to
the outside world, and by midwinter the
earliest members OF a treasure-hunting
horde were rushing into the country by
snowshoe and dog-sledge.
Other finds came thick and fast. The
McFNariane was rich In free gold, and
miners by the score staked out their
claims along II and began work. Late
comers swung to new fields farther north
and east, and TO Fort Smith came rumors
of finds" richer than those OF the Yu-
kon. A score of men at flrHt-then n
hundred, five hundred, thousand
rushed into the new country Most OF
these were from the prairie countries to
the south, and from the placer beds of
the Saskatchewan and the Frazer. From
the far North, travelling by way OF the
Mackenzie and the Lizard, came smaller
number of seasoned prospectors and ad-
venturers from the Yukon-men who
knew what 1t meant to starve and freeze
and die by inches.
One of these late-comers was Sandy
McTrlgger. There we're several reasons
why Sandy had left he Yukon. He was
''ln bad with the police who patrolled
the country west of Dawson, and he was
"broke." In spite of these facts he was
one of the best prospectors that had ever
followed the shores of the Klondike, He
had made discoveries running up to
million or two, and had promptly lost
them through gambling and drink. He
had no conscience, and little fear. Bru-
tality was the chief thing written In his
face. His undershot jaw. his wide eyes.
low forehead and grizzly mop of red
hair proclaimed him at once as n man
not to be trusted beyond ones own vision
or the reach of bullet 1t was sus-
pccted that he had killed n couple of
men. and robbed others, but as yet the
police had failed to get anything on him.
But along with this bad side of him,
Sandy McTrigger possessed a GOODNESS
and courage which even his worst en-
could htIt ndNntrp. and nlqn
certain mental depths which his unpleas-
ant features did not proclaim.

DON'T STARVE FAT AWAY;
JUST EAT AND GET THIN

TIAIR ladies who are troubled with
i what the Bard of Avon called too
too solid flesh won't have to fast them
selves into sylph-like proportions any
more. Times change, and so do methods
OF reduction. 1t used to be epson salt
baths, rolling, horseback riding and
dumb-bells. Now you Just eat. But you
eat according to fixed rules. avoiding
certain articles of diet which are de-
cdedly fattening.
Mr.. Vance Thompson. In his book on
how to Eat and Get Thin" points out
that II Is so much easier to make n list
of the eligible foods than the forbidden
ones. because II too many restrictions
are placed on ones meals the result is
sad and thorough falling off from the
get-thin ranks. Few women are willing
to stick to diet, even to improve their
good looks. Fewer still will reconcile
themselves to glass of buttermilk and a
Bent's water cracker when they are en-
TREY surrounded with chocolate eclairs
and kindred sweets.

But Miss Giggles simply couldn't

Then Mr.. Princeton Tiger announced

So Longtail put the sad picture on
