BRITISH SPIRIT FIRM,
ROYAL SPEECH SAYS

| Continued from rage One
! fall from horse on the western front.
| The Kings indisposItion has at no time
! been serious II was stated. but his ply
sCians advised him to exercise caution
during the period of convalescence.
The Kings speech was read to members
of both Houses, who assembled in the
House of Lords, by the Lord Chancellor.
The fight for better air defcnses was
opened Immediately after the King s
speech was read. Joynson Hicks, MEM
ber of Commons, offered an amendment
to the royal address, urging the placing
of the air service upon iirmer basis and
"regretting the nadequacy of the present
arrangements"
Another amendment was offered recon-
mending that all merchant ships be placed
under the control of central authority,
with the power to requisition and direct
all vessels.
The sixth session of England's war
parliament" had the following program of
business before 1t:
First The voting of another credit OF
81 25O, 900, 900, which will bring the total
war credits up to $9,j6OOOO,OOO
Second. Adoption of measures to
strengthen the air defenses of England.
Third Amendments to the policy of
blockade to prevent goods from reaching
Germany through neutral ports and an
extension of the navy's power.
Fourth. Adoption of policy of econ
omy for both the Government and public,
and the possible curtailment of imports.
In connection with the discussion of
national economy it is inevitable that the
question of discontinuing the salaries Of
the Cabinet members will again be before
Commons
Another question which will receive
serious consideration is that of taxation.
For some time Reginald McKenna, Chan
ccllor of the ExcheQuer has been engaged
upon the troublesome problem of finding \
new sources of revenue, and this need will
he even more urgent when the next war
loan is introduced later in the session

After an excited admonition to the

small as this; no one, am sure"
Tell him | will get his ring"
whispered the mouse to Nina.
My good sir, | happen to have a
mouse In my pocket that will do any
| thing ask, and if you wish will ask
it TO get your ring"
oh, if you can do this for me-"
said the man, ''the gold shall be yours,
and you shall have fine house to
live In besides
So Nina told the mouse to hop out
OF her pocket and run into the crack
in the rock and in a minute it came
out with the ring in its mouth
Come with me to my castle" said
the man, and the gold shall be yours,
and ! will give you a house which is
not far from my castle: you shall
never want for anything, for without
this ring my life would not have been
| worth living. | have had so many
enemies
| Nina went with the man to his
| castle, and he gave her the gold and
| then he showed her the house which
was to be hers, but he told her she
would have to get rid of the mouse
! because it would eat all the corn and
grain in his storehouses.
When the mouse heard this il
| jumped out of Mina's pocket and ran
up on the shoulder of the man who
was just putting the ring on his finger
which SO frightened him that he
dropped the ring.
| Quick as a thought the mouse
| jumped to the ground and, taking the
ring in his mouth, off he ran with it.
| Nina called to the mouse to bring
back the ring, and the man offered
more gold if the ring was returned
but the mouse did not come back
! Suddenly an old witch appeared be
, fore them, and the man began to
tremble
"You have lost the ring for good
this time" said the witch you are
| lost and so am l. The Prince has
/ come into his own again"
AS she finished speaking the sky
became dark and terrible noise was
heard, which shook the very earth
beneath Mina's feet, but in an instant
it ceased and it was light again.
You have saved me- said someone
beside her, and Nina turned to find a
handsome youth bending low before
her.
THE witch and her wicked son are
gone forever, and | have taken on my
own form again.
u was doomed to remain a mouse
until should be carried by maiden
to the place where the son of the
witch should drop the ring. and as you
were the one to help me I will make
you my wife if you will marry me, for
this is my castle and | am prince"
Of course Nina could not refuse to
marry the prince, for she needed a
home very badly; but, besides that,
the prince was so handsome and kind
looking she fell in love with him.
SO they were married that very day
and lived happily in the castle all the
rest of their days, and the ring which
had helped the prince to recover,
Nina wore all her life.

You'll understand that we don't wish

The dignified old gentleman's voice
held note Of panied resentment, with
Which Ramon Hamilton could not help

THE MOUSE AND THE RING.


once upon "a time there lived a
poor little orphan girl named Nina.
and one day when she went to the
pantry she found that all that was
ieft were few crusts of bread and
some cheese
THESE she put into her pocket and,
tying up her few possessions in a
bundle, she started off to try to earn
ner living, not knowing where she
would go
Nnen she was short way from the
house she heard someone calling
Nina, Nina, take me with you"
Nina turned around and saw run
ming toward her a mouse.
When the mouse came I'D to her it
said: Take me with you and you
VIII not be sorry If you leave me in
the house l will starve,."
You will starve perhaps if you go
with me-" said Nina, ''for l have only
few crusts in my pocket and a piece
OF cheese, but if you like you may hop
into my pocket and come along"
So the mouse hoped into Nina S
pocket and they went off together
toward the city
When it came time to eat her din
ner Nina sat down on the roadside
and took from her pocket the crust
and cheese. The mouse hoped out
and sat up beside her, waiting for his
share
Il suppose l may as we'll give you
part of my dinner, she said. 1T can't
last long anyway, and then we will
both starve.'
Take me with you and you shall
not starve,' said the mouse when
Nina had finished eating.
SO Nina told the mouse to hop into
her pocket again. and she walked on.
She had not gone far when she saw a
beautiful black horse standing beside
rock, and the rider on his knees
looking intently at something which
Nina thought was on the rock
But when she got up to them she
found that the man was looking into
a crack in the rock and seemed to be
very much disturbed.
Are you in trouble, SIR" asked
Nina; you look very unhappy"
oh. | am in great trouble" said
the man. Il have dropped into this
crack in the rock a ring which was
given to me by a witch and which
keeps off all trouble; now l know
