Up and up and up 1t went, till 1t
seemed to touch the sky.
And Jack said to climb It he was
bound to try.
His mother said, More foolishness"
but Jack would go.
He climbed on up and UP, till he
had reached the top, and SO
He gave a look around him, and
saw a castle near.
Now he was very hungry from
climbing, so twas clear
That he must go and give knock
and ask someone for bread.
A woman met him at the door: For
the love of Me! she said.
What ever be you doing here? Oh,
oh, my dear,
You'd Better go as far away as e'er
You can from here!
my husband is a giant with an
awful taste
For little boys like you. dear, so
you'd better make haste!
But Jack was very hungry. and he
begged her 80,
That she let him in to get bite,
but she said, you know
If we should hear cry 'Fee-f-fo-
fum!'
TIL have to hide you quickly. for
twill be he. come"
And indeed 1t wasn't long before
these words were said,
II smell the blood Of an English
man! Be he alive or dead,
I'll grind his bones" the giant
cried, "Tll grind his bones"
he said,
I'll grind his bones, his precious
bones, to make my bread"
She popped Jack in a closet, and
shut him up tight
Just in time-for here came. strid-
ing in his might,
The giant. "Wife!" he cried, and
wife, he cried again,
There's someone in this castle, for
can smell him, plain"
He wrinkled up his ugly nose. and
gave her such look!
She faced him squarely but her
poor knees shook.
TT is only fresh steak, and nothing
else beside;
There is no one in the CASTLE" the
poor woman lied.
So the giant ate a huge dish Of
steaming steak, and then
CO." said he, Quickly, and bring
me my hen!'
Peeping through the keyhole Jack
saw the hen;
"Layw said the giant, "Lay"-and
Right before his very eyes she laid
an egg of gold!
Another and another did our Jack
behold.
Bye and bye the giant put the hen
down on the floor;

Then he fell so fast asleep that
Jack crept through the door,
Seized the hen and ran as fast as
legs could carry him,
Slid right down the bean stalk and
reached the bottom, BLIM!
When his mother saw him she wept
for very joy;
So happy now to have again her
very careless boy!
Now they had a-plenty, and would
never have to beg;
Jack need only say 'Lay!" There
was a golden egg!
Jack made other Journeys, took the
money bags, once,
From the giant, who lay sleeping,
and stupid as a Ounce.
But when Jack tried to carry Off
the gold magic harp
It cried MASTER and he was after
Jack sharp.
They raced for the bean stalk, but
Jack was so slick
He was down in fifty, crying,
Bring the ak, quick"
Jack cut the bean stalk with one
big whack!
Down came the giant, breaking his
back;
Breaking his neck, too, and break
ing his head!
"Whoopee" cried Jack, In glee,
1.-The old giants dead"
Now. lest I make my story longer
than I ought,
I'll have to hurry up a bit and try
to cut it short.
In the end it turned out that long
time ago
The castle had belonged to Jacks
father, you know.
So he and his mother went back
there again,
Taking all the money bags, the
harp and the hen.
There they lived happily. SO the
story goes,
But, just how long a time, nobody
knows. Olive Benson.

Public speaking is a great boost
towards starting our life, or so the
Juniors think. They have been
studying the art of public speaking
and some of the talks have aston
ished the teacher. The first week
was spent in personal experiences
and craftsmanship talks. The Sec
ond were after-dinner speeches.
The subjects for the week were
as follows: Athletic Association,
Football, Class Reunion, Farewell
Dinner, Homecoming.
These were delivered by groups
of six, each having a special day

games, much to the dismay of the
losers.
About eight o'clock the Scouts
retired to Mr.. Kowalke's class

a very interesting demonstration
of building fire with flint and
steel. He certainly produced a fire
in a hurry. The entire troop en-
joyed it very much and many of
the Scouts decided that they would
study that method of fire building.
AS usual, one of the four patrols

An Old Favorite Retold

Jack was a lazy boy. who lived with
his mother;
He hadn't any father or sister or
brother.
They had a little cottage, and an
old, old cow:
One day his mother called him and
said to him, Now,
Jack, we have no money, so our
COW we must sell:
Take her of to town, and luck DO
with you" Well
Jack took the old cow and started
off for town
Up hill and down hill, and up hill
and down.
Bye and bye he met a man who
said to him, How
In the world do you expect to sell
that old cow?
Now, I have some magic beans and
I'll give you one
In trade for the old cow" Jack
said. Done"
Then he turned himself around and
started off for home
Up hill and down hill, the way he
had come.
Soon he was homo again, and his
mother said. Jack.

On his part, Mr.. Putnam will learn a great deal from
the farmers Of Burleigh county. And the worthwhile
things he learns from one individual he can tell to 9TH
ers. The net result Of it all should be an increase In
the net profits Of every farmer with benefit not only to
the farmer but to every other person in Burleigh county.
When the farmers have money to spend they spend it and
business is good In this section Of North Dakota. The
more they have to spend the better business is.
For this reason, and because Burleigh county folks
are naturally that way, Mr.. Putnam will find this a
friendly community. We hope he will like us. We know
that the people Of Bismarck and Burleigh county are
prepared to like him.
And so, at the same time we wish him good fortune

welcome.

No Comic OPERA Revolts

1t had been a good many years since South America
had been troubled with revolutionary disturbances. Now
within a few weeks. revolt seems to have broken out on
all sides. Supposedly stable governments are overturn-
ing almost overnight. Rebellion seems to be the order
Of the day.
Obviously, something out Of the ordinary is resting on
the Latin-Amercan mind; but it would be a grave mis-
take to set the trouble down as nothing more than the
traditional Latin-Amercan upheaval. The grasping
politician of the old-style revolutions seems to be alb
sent.
Indeed, that Is what makes the whole thing so inter-
esting. These revolts, almost without exception. seem
to mirror some fundamental popular unrest and dissat-
isfaction. At this distance it has been hard to say Just
what the trouble may be; but it is clear that the great
masses Of the ~populace feel that they have some pro-
found grievance.
