A Jackson Boys Experience.

The story of Lloyd Bickford, also of

is worthy of note. He writes as follows:

80 in all, costing me ST. so TO feed them.
They were Matched on hay chaff in stable

them into coops, carrying them into the
stable every night After their mothers

covering the coops with horse blankets to

| used wire to shut them up at night in

Whereas in England the proportion
of divorce is only two to every 10000
marriages and in the United States It
is So; in Japan there are no fewer
than 173 divorces to every 10000 mar

have been brought about by mutual

the go-betweenst responsible for the
original union. They were accomplish

sess and to make your riches invisible
to all eyes but yours, for with all your
subjects you must be In constant dan
ger of having them overpower you and
take 1t away"
Now It happened that this was the
very thing that the giant was afraid Of,
and so he told the Prince that he
would gladly know this wonderful
power.
So the old giant took the Prince into
his storeroom under the house and
showed him all the gold he had taken
from the Kiug stacked about the room
as high as the head of the Prince.
you must sit upon the floor and do
as tell you," said the Prince, and the
giant obeyed.
"This power can only be possessed
by those who are big and strong like
you. You must close your eyes and
do as tell you"
The giant was not afraid, Of course,
OF such little man as the Prince, al
though he really was a strong man,
and when the giant closed his eyes, he
ooius A~OW aiu6t UluO your eyes 6O
you cannot Eee."
The giant consented to this, and
when this was done the Prince began
to put the bags of gold through the
gratings of the window as fast as he
could.
What are you doing?" asked the
giant, outings his hands to his hea
dand trying to remove. the bandage.
III you remove the covering before
tell you the spell will be broken and
you will be in danger Of loosing your
gold, for already the giants who are
your subjects are beginning to plan
now to take 1t away from you," said
the prince.
At last the last bag was removed
and the Prince said, Nov will show
you the magic trick, but must tell
you that il 1t should happen you can
not see the gold you will know that
your strength is gone, so I advise you
not to let 1t be known even If you do
not see It,"
The giant tore the bandage from
his eyes, and, of course, he saw no
thing but the bare walls.
Now, Your Majesty, call your sub
jects," said the Prince, "and ask them

II they see the gold. OF course You
see 1t piled about the room, but the
spell have thrown over It will keep
the others from seeing it."
The old giant did not dare say he
could not see it, for fear the Prince
would know his strength was gone
and tell the others. SO he said, "Of
course see It.; will call my subjects
and hear what they have to say"
When the giant went to call the
other giants the Prince slipped
through the window and ran down the
mountain.
When the Giants subjects came into
the room he asked them what they
saw. Bare walls, Master" they re-
piled.
This satisfied the giant, although he
was terribly frightened that he could
not see the bags Of gold himself. and
when he tried to break bar OF iron,
to see If his strength was really gone
he found that he could not bend 1t;
fright had made him weak.
OF course he did not want his sub
jects to know this, so he sent them
all away and locked himself In his
empty stOreroom.
When 1t was dark that night the
Prince returned with some of his Ia
theirs servants and carried off the
gold while all the giants slept and
took 1t back to his fathers castle.
The old giant brooded over his lost
strength and the fear that his subjects
would find it out, until one night he
walked to the edge Of the mountain
and threw himself over, and that was
the end Of him.
His subjects were all trees and
rocks which the giant had got witch
to change into his subjects and when
the giant threw himself over the side
Of the mountain the other giants

able TO the fact that ideas of individ-
ual rights aid obligations as well as
knowledge and experience Of the law
are but scantily developed in the
minds Of the Japanese people. But
since the Japanese women are now
growing in the consciousness OF their
dignity and rights we hear now and
then Of cases of women fighting for
divorces in the courts OF law"
In conclusion the report urges strict
er regulations. pointing out that the
general tendency In the civilized world
is toward gradual diminution Of di-
vorce and that the proportion in Japan
is becoming alarming.

THE CLEVER PRINCE

Once upon a time there lived q
Prince who was very poor His IA
ther, the King, had lost all Of his for
tune In warning with q giant who
wanted his kingdom.
This giant lived on top Of noun
tain that overlooked the vast lands Of
the King, and every time he wanted
gold he would cause all his subjects.
who were giants also, to throw rocks
and trees upon the Kings castle until
In desperation he would send bag Of
gold to the wicked giant, and he would
stop until he again wanted gold.
At last the King had no more gold
to give and the giant sent word to the
King that he wanted his castle now
that he might become King himself;
that a man so poor rs he should not
be King.
The poor old King began to weep
and wiring his hands and wonder
where she should live and what he
should do for a home, when his son
said to him, Father, let me go to this
giant and see II can not find way
to be rid of him and get back your
gold"
The Prince was so Set upon trying
that the King gave his consent, and
the Prince without anyone with him
or even sword to protect himself
started off for the home of the giant
on top of the mountain.
When he reached the giants house
the door was SO big that the Prince
looked like little mouse walking in.
How dare you come into my house
without knocking" reared the giant
when he saw the Prince.
Your Majesty, your house Is so big
and grand and am so very little that
/ could not expect to make you notice
me even II did knock" said the
Prince.
It pleased the old giant to be called
your Majesty.9 so he said, well, you
are pretty bold even II yor are small,
but do you want and where did you
you come from?"
Your Majesty said the Prince, Il
came from the lowlands and knew
there was no one there so wise as
you; SO ! climbed the mountain to tell

the wonderful quality of the imitation leath-

denotes superiority. BY that we mean that
it is superior TO many genuine leather up-

test and will withstand the greatest strain.
