I WAS of a Nottinghamshire fam ily and educated at Cambridge. Likewise was I educated In medi cine, and preferring u ship's surgeon cy to any preferment ashore, It came about that after several deep-sea voy ages I found myself surgeon of thnt ship, the Antelope, which wns wrecked in a violent storm on a coast north west of Van Dlemen's Lund. Of all the ship's company I alone escaped to the land, where, In utter exhaustion, I lay down and fell nsleep. I awakened to find myself bound hand and foot, and surrounded by swarms of the tiniest human creatures. They brought me food and drink and con- veyed me to their capital, where the king, of a majesty a full lialf-lnch taller than any of his subjects, came I .with his court to view me. I In time I learned thnt I was In the kingdom of the Lilliputians. By them 1 I wns kept a long time In captivity. I Being ultimately satisfied of the harm- lessness of my Intent, I also adding my word of honor to do them no In jury, they released me, nnd set aside six professors of educntlon to teach me their language. For my bodily sustenance they allowed me a quan tity of meat and drink suillclent for 1724 of their own people; for so, be ing exact in their mnthemntlcs, they estimated the proportions of my bulk to theirs. Three hundred cooks nnd one hundred nnd twenty wnlters were nnmod to dress my meals, two hundred senmstresses were apportioned to mako my linen, nnd three hundred tailors for my outer clothing. With my wants thus attended to, I was desirous to be of service to them. My first service wns not tb damage their people or their property as I wnlked abroad, a most likely dan ger when the men were of such size that I could accrete two or three of them In one of my coat pockets. In walking the streets, were I to step heavily, there was danger of my slink ing down large buildings; or, by not having an eye below me, I could eas ily trend to death half a dozen of their cattle. One day the king, who wns most friendly to me, came to mo In great trouble. The emperor of the neigh boring kingdom of Blefuscu bad threatened to lny waste the kingdom of LIHIputla. Tho Blefuscunn navy, consisting of fifty great ships of wir, was even then nbout to set sail ; but I. by wading and swimming, reached their chief hnrbor where they were yet at anchor. With my pocket knife I cut the cables of their fifty ships of war, and then, tying each ship to a' piece of twine, I drew them after me to dry land, nnd so compelled the capitulation of Rlefuscu. While this deed redounded to my glory. It also raised me up powerful enemies, one being the high admiral of the Lilliputian navy. Had I wished. I could have crushed them and their entire kingdom under my boots, but there wns my pledged word not to harm them. So when by secret In trigue they had me tried nnd con demned to tho log of my eyes, there Was nothing loft mo hut escape. I went to Blefuscu, where I wns given a great reception nnd where they would havo me stay; but I wns weary -of kings and princes, and told them thnt I desired nothing except that they would provision for mo a hont, which I had found drifting on the shore, nnd allow mo to go my way. They stored the boat with tho car casses of one hundred oxen, three hundred sheep, with cows, hulls, nnd ns much ready-dresRfd meat us four hundred cooks could provide. Being W. N. I) SIOUX CITY, NO. 43-1920. thus protected against famine, I g. sail on tho third day nnd was plckei up by an English merchant cnptnln, who deemed me crnzy when I told dm my story. Not until I hnd taker sev ernl head of cattle from my pockets would he bcllcvo me. To my great grief, one of the ship's rats carried off one of my sheep on the wny home. On renchlng shore I learned that m uncle John hnd tiled nnd left mo his estate near tipping, nnd tho same be ing suillclent to keep my family from wtuit nnd the lust to wander being still quick within me, I set oft to sen once more, this time In the Adventure, bound for Surnt. On this voynge, after a great temp est, we put Into a strange bay for wa ter. Rambling on the shore, I boenme separated from my companions and fell Into the hnnds of some natives of Brohdlngnng, colossal men, of whom hardly ono was under sixty English feet In height. I wns here put on exhibition, nnd my fnmo renchlng the ears of the king nnd queen, they commnnded my pres ence nt court; and thither I was brought, In the chnrge of the daugh ter of one of my captors, n little girl named Glumdnlclltch, nine years of age and smnll for her years, being not above thirty feet In height. In the train or their majesties I trnv eled nil over the kingdom, which wns six thousand miles In length by three to five thousand In breadth. The cap ital city was fifty-four miles In length by forty-five In breadth, n wonderful city where the king's pnlace was seven miles around nnd the chief room therein two hundred nnd forty feet high, and brond nnd long In propor-' tlon. The king's stnble was also n goodly building, housing five hundred horses, noble creajures of n height of from fifty-four to sixty feet. Of tho Lilliputians, I used to say that they were people without a blem ish In their persons, nnd the Brob dlngnng'lans coarse beyond descrip tion; but later reflection Induces me to think that the Lilliputians had blemishes proportlonnte to their size, the same being too tiny for me to es timate; and thnt possibly the Brob dingnnglans appeared more vulgar than they truly were, their colossal proportions magnifying every defect. In some mntters these large peoplo were at least larger-minded. Thus, In the matter of whether It was proper to break an egg on the little or big end which had almost split the Lilli putian kingdom In twain as to that matter the Brobdlngnnglnns would hnve lost little sleep. I judge this from a comment by the Brobdlngnn glnn king on a political matter which I spoke of In connection with my own country Englnnd. "It Is tyrnnny," ho said, "for a government to requlro those who held differing opinions to chnnge or not to chnngo them." Ills majesty was much Interested to hear of England; whereat I relat ed at length her history, which aston ished him. Ho protested that It seemed no more thnn u sequence of conspiracies, murders, revolutions, bnnlshmcnts, the worst effects thnt avarice, faction, hypocrisy, hntretl, lust, malice and nmbltlon could pro duce. "What a pernicious race of odious vermin to be allowed to crawl upon the earth !" ho said ; which In jurious Judgment of my noble nnd be loved country pnlned mo exceedingly. Now while I hnd become n favorite of n great nation, It wns upon such a footing ns III became tho dignity of human kind. I wished to bo onco more with peoplo of my own mind; nlso I longed for n whiff .of thnt sea which looked toward my own land. In response to my entreaties, I was taken to the sen coast, - My little nurse Glumdnlclltch being 111, I wns put In charge of a page; who left me alone on the shore while he sought for birds' eggs. While thus nlone, the traveling cnblnet In which I lay was seized by u great bird who took It far out to sea and then let It drop, nlmost nt tho ex act moment that an English ship hap pened by to pick mo up. Thus was I slngulnrly rescued nnd brought onco more snfo to Englnnd. I made other voyages nnd hnd div ers adventures, n most singular ono being that of my rescue from n desert continent by tho people of nn Island which flew In the air, tho same being mndo to rise and fnll by menus of nn Immense londstone. The people of the flying Islnnd held themselves ns n su perior race, for no grenter reason that I could see than that they had ono eye turned lnwnrd and one turned up ward. A later voyage took mo to the coun try of the Yahoos and the Ilouy hnhnms. The Yahoos, being servile attendants to the Houyhnhnms, were of disgusting hnblts, and so much resembled humnii beings thnt tho wiso and virtuous Houyhnhnms took me nlso for n Yahoo even to the end of my stny with them, a Judg ment which grieved mo much. Tho Houyhnhnms, who had tho forms of horses, hnd tho most sensible laws of any creature that I ever lived with. Their abhorrence of mnny of our human habits was ho deep that I came In time to havo n contempt for my own species nnd wished that I, too, were n Houyhnjinm and be nl lowed to remain with them; but they bnnlshed mo from their kingdom ih ono who might set up for n leader of the Yahoos and so Rometlmo glvo them trouble. They allowed me to build and provision a boat; and o I pnddled off nnd In tlmo renched Eng lnnd, where my wife and children were very glad to see me. CopyrlRht, 1919, by Pout Puhllnhlm; Co.
