Squeeze the bulb and out comes the

hearty! Still another clincher and the
stamping of the feet was vigorous in

Stoddard Simonton, who halls from

the piano and he is always sure of
large and appreciative audience whcn-
ever he begins playing at Y. M. c. A.

1t all comes, of course, from the fact
that Simonton Is a piano and pire

the plain and saw a laborer PEACEFUL,
blowing his field. She picked up the
peasant, the horse and the pillow, ane
put them in her pinafore and returned
to the castle to show what she had
found to her father.
What you think Is but toy" said
the giant, "is what produces the food
which enables US to live. Put back
the laborer and his horse where you
found them" From that time on.

never molested by the giants.
