CITY BOWLING GOSSIP

Tuesday nights play in the city
bowling tournament failed to bring
out any new leaders. The doubles

splits in their final game held them
back and they had to be content
with a total of 1,211, which tied them
for seventh and eighth places with

chance when they started with 441,

so wonderful. t
Jack remembered the Ogres saying that the harp vas all he had left,
o he meant to get away with it If there wa a possible chance and take
it to their new home. Then he could forget the Ogre.
The Ogre had eatens o much that he was soon lu1ed to sleep by the
sweet sounds of the harp and began snoring loudly. Jack quietly climbed
out of the kettle, took up the harp and started to run off with it, when
the harp began playing louder and louder until it finally awakened the

Again the Ogre's wife was in the doorway. She told Jack that q
small boy had come some time before, and after she had fed him and
given him a place to sleep, he had stolen her husbands money and ran
away with it. The Ogre had been o mad that he had given strict
orders that no n was to be allowed to enter his castle.
For a long time she refused to allow Jack to come in, but finally
she agreed to take him in and give him his supper.
After a while the Ogres tread was heard coming across the hill
His step was 81 heavy that it shook the house, and she hid Jack in a
closet.
After supper the Ogre called out, wife, bring m e my hem" She

by the Ogre and left the room.

tented himself with watching his hen lay golden eggs, which he placed
in a large basket, until it was quite full. BY and by, growing tired of
playing with the golden eggs, he began to doze and finally fell into a
sound sleep.
Jack came quietly out of the closet, and as the Ogre low snored very
loudly and there was no one to see, he picked up the hen very carefully
and quickly ran off with her. He wished to take the eggs also, but could
not carry them. Anyway, he would have all the golden eggs he wanted

Gmkm1 (6 Bemstlk

Long, long years ago, there was
\ little boy named Jack, who lived
with his widowed mother in a little
cottage and they were poor. At last
they became so very, very poor that
the mother decided to sell their only
COW to buy food.
Now Jack was really too small a
boy to take the COW to market; but
he begged so hard that his mother
at last consented and he set out.
On the way to the village he met
butcher, a very sharp fellow, who
asked where Jack was going.
I'm going to market to sell our
cow" said Jack.
Its very lucky 1 met you," re-
piled the butcher, "for l want to
buy just such a cow as yours"
The butcher took a handful of
bright colored beans from his
pocket and offered them to Jack for
the cow. OF course Jack did not
know how much the COW was worth;
put he liked the pretty beans and so
he made the trade. Then he ran
home to show the beans to his
mother.
She was very angry and scolded
Jack about the bargain he had made.
Then she threw the beans out of the
window and they both went to bed
without any supper.
Neither Jack nor his mother knew
that they were magic beans. So
when Jack awoke in the morning
and looked out, he was much sur
prised to see a great mass of green
leaves covering the window. He
hoped out of bed to see what new
tree has grown up over night and
found that one of the beans had
taken root in the night and had
grown SO tall that the top reached
right up into the sky.
Jack being very curious, without
waking his mother, at once began
to climb the beanstalk to see where
It went and what was at the top
of it. He climbed and climbed all
the morning and was not yet near
the top. Late in the afternoon, when
he was SO tired he thought he would
surely drop, he came to the top and
found himself in a strange country.
There was no house in sight and
no one to talk to. Jack felt very
lonely. He was a brave boy or he

to the Ogre. He had grown larger and
stronger and felt sure that the Ogre's wife
would not know him now.
When he reached the castle this time, the
door was open and he was much surprised to
find no one about the house. Jack wandered
through the rooms looking for something to
carry off, but found nothing Of value. Just as
he heard the Ogre's wife coming he hid in a
large copper kettle near the fireplace.
The Ogre's wife went along preparing

So he hrmed away and got safely down the emstaE.
Jacks mother was very much pleased with the en, which laid so many golden eggs
they became very wealthy.
They built a beautiful house in the village md had all the money they would ever need;

would never have climbed the bean
stalk; but now it was getting dark
and he wished he were at home with
his mother. He was much too tired
to climb down again and he didn't
know what to do.
Just then a fairy came from no
place at all and she told him it was
not far to a castle where a great
Ogre lived.
1T was he who robbed and killed
your father" said the fairy. 81
gave the beans to the butcher to
give to you, so that you might climb
up here. Now you must try to get
back your fathers wealth from the
Ogre"
The fairy told Jack how to get to
the Ogre's castle and promised to
watch I'VE him. He was delighted
with the idea of the adventure and
set off toward the castle.
When he got there a woman was
standing in the door, and Jack asked
for something to eat and a place to
sleep.
Il dare not let my husband see
you," said the kind-hearted woman,
cor he would surely eat you" Then
she took him and fed him. While
Jack was eating his supper, they
heard the Ogre coming and his wife
hid Jack in the oven.
When the Ogre had eaten his
great supper he called to his wife,
Bring me my money
She brought two big bags of
money and the Ogre played with it
until he fell asleep. Then Jack crept
out of his hiding place, and, hosting
the bags upon his shoulder, slipped
quietly away with them.
The Ogre was snoring so loudly
that he did not hear Jack, and he
got safely away and escaped down
the beanstalk.
His mother was much relieved to
see him again and she was delighted
with the bags of money, which was
enough to keep them in plenty for a
long time.
BY and by Jack became anxious
to make another trip to see what
else he might take from the Ogre.
So he dressed himself in
other clothes so that the
\ Ogre's wife would not
know him, and climbing

And this is the way he says 1t should

Devices for Foiling

While II may be impossible to pre-

there's no need for a merchant to give
up big sum of money simply because

Grocer.
In the first place, all the money pos
sible should be banked late in the af-
ternoon If the bank closes at four
o'clock everything should be cleaned
up and banked by that time. If the
bank keeps open until six o'clock or
nine o'clock so much the better, for
merchants should see that their cash
registers or money drawers do not get
too full. Along about the time the
crowd begins thinning out, and before
stragglers start coming in, the bulk OF
the money, the big bills most Of the

Work Must Haze Been
Terror TO Printers

II has always been n subject of Inn
passloned debate among the unfor-
Inmates who have to deal with such
things just how bad a manuscript can
be.
We have Ben Jonson's word for II
that Shakespeare never blQtted n line
which must have endeared him to
his copylst and printers, no matter
what the critical Ben thought of It..
We have also Arnold BENEFITS asser-
ton that he never touches pen to pa
per until he has his subject so well
thought out that all he need worry
about Is calllgraphy. We know that
Anatole France shamelessly seized
scissors, paste and pen and began the
real revision when the proof sheets
arrived, the Living Age says.
But the glory of writing very nearly
the worst manuscript In literary his
tory must certainly go to Dostoevsky.
The great Russian seems to have had
nearly as hard time keeping his pen
sedately at Its own proper employ
ment as the ordinary run Of mortals
experience when they sit down to ex-
press what they believe to be thoughts.
One page, which has found Its way
from his famlly's possession into the
Dostoevsky room In the Historical mu-
scum at Moscow, shows a portrait
sketch, a deft bit of Gothic archltec-
ture, and the name Rachel scrawled
over and over again In Roman letters
Of copperplate perfection, contrasting
oddly with the incredible badness of
the Russian writing.
With all this 1t Is amazing that the
novelist should find any room at all
for his wrltlng-but he did, and for
innumerable corrections. lnterllnea-
lions, and marginal corrections, also.
