so they took him to be christened , and the parson said : ' you 'll never be able to put that child in a decent bed on account of his prickles . ' which was true , but they shook down some straw for him behind the stove , and there he lay for eight years . his father grew very tired of him and often wished him dead , but he did not die , but lay on there year after year . now one day there was a big fair at the market town to which the farmer meant to go , so he asked his wife what he should bring her from it . ' some meat and a couple of big loaves for the house , ' said she . then he asked the maid what she wanted , and she said a pair of slippers and some stockings . lastly he said , ' well , jack my hedgehog , and what shall i bring you ? ' ' daddy , ' said he , ' do bring me a bagpipe . ' when the farmer came home he gave his wife and the maid the things they had asked for , and then he went behind the stove and gave jack my hedgehog the bagpipes .

jack my hedgehog continued to herd his pigs , and they increased in number till there were so many that the forest seemed full of them . so he made up his mind to live there no longer , and sent a message to his father telling him to have all the stables and outhouses in the village cleared , as he was going to bring such an enormous herd that all who would might kill what they chose . his father was much vexed at this news , for he thought jack had died long ago . jack my hedgehog mounted his cock , and driving his pigs before him into the village , he let every one kill as many as they chose , and such a hacking and hewing of pork went on as you might have heard for miles off . then said jack , ' daddy , let the blacksmith shoe my cock once more ; then i 'll ride off , and i promise you i 'll never come back again as long as i live . ' so the father had the cock shod , and rejoiced at the idea of getting rid of his son .

and so they fetched some in all haste , and put them inside him , and the mother sewed him up so quickly again that he was none the wiser . when the wolf at last awoke , and got up , the stones inside him made him feel very thirsty , and as he was going to the brook to drink , they struck and rattled one against another . and so he cried out : " what is this i feel inside me knocking hard against my bones ? how should such a thing betide me ! they were kids , and now they 're stones .

all that night he practiced what is known as chemical sorcery ; so that when claribel sudds came next day at two o'clock he showed her a small box filled with compounds that closely resembled french bonbons . " this is a progressive age , " said the old man , " and i flatter myself your uncle daws keeps right along with the procession . now , one of your old - fashioned sorcerers would have made you some nasty , bitter pills to swallow ; but i have consulted your taste and convenience . here are some magic bonbons . if you eat this one with the lavender color you can dance thereafter as lightly and gracefully as if you had been trained a lifetime . after you consume the pink confection you will sing like a nightingale . eating the white one will enable you to become the finest elocutionist in the land . the chocolate piece will charm you into playing the piano better than rubenstein , while after eating you lemon - yellow bonbon you can easily kick six feet above your head .

" how delightful ! " exclaimed claribel , who was truly enraptured . " you are certainly a most clever sorcerer as well as a considerate compounder , " and she held out her hand for the box . " ahem ! " said the wise one ; " a check , please . " " oh , yes ; to be sure ! how stupid of me to forget it , " she returned . he considerately retained the box in his own hand while she signed a check for a large amount of money , after which he allowed her to hold the box herself . " are you sure you have made them strong enough ? " she inquired , anxiously ; " it usually takes a great deal to affect me . " " my only fear , " replied dr . daws , " is that i have made them too strong . for this is the first time i have ever been called upon to prepare these wonderful confections . " " do n't worry , " said claribel ; " the stronger they act the better i shall act myself . "

the maid had run away to cry hysterically in the kitchen ; mr . bostwick was singing " o promise me ; " the professor was trying to kick the globes off the chandelier ; mrs . bostwick had switched her recitation to " the boy stood on the burning deck , " and bessie had stolen into the parlor and was pounding out the overture from the " flying dutchman . " the senator was not at all sure he would not go crazy himself , presently ; so he slipped away from the turmoil , and , catching up his had and coat in the hall , hurried from the house . that night he sat up late writing a political speech he was to deliver the next afternoon at faneuil hall , but his experiences at the bostwicks ' had so unnerved him that he could scarcely collect his thoughts , and often he would pause and shake his head pityingly as he remembered the strange things he had seen in that usually respectable home .

it took the senator several months to recover from the shame and humiliation of this escapade ; and , curiously enough , he never had the slightest idea what had induced him to act in so extraordinary a manner . perhaps it was fortunate the last bonbon had now been eaten , for they might easily have caused considerably more trouble than they did . of course claribel went again to the wise chemist and signed a check for another box of magic bonbons ; but she must have taken better care of these , for she is now a famous vaudeville actress .

" great caesar ! " he exclaimed . but the mother came to him softly with her finger on her lips and whispered : " do n't interrupt her , john . our child seems to be in a trance . did you ever hear such superb music ? " " why , she 's an infant prodigy ! " gasped the astounded father . " beats blind tom all hollow ! it's - it 's wonderful !
