somebody tiptoed in to see if the child
was covered, only the angels knew.
Primrose dreamed that her mother
kissed her.
Thenceforth began strange expert
ences for Primrose. The tangle of
bright hair was confined in two tight
pigtails. Miss Abigail, taking fright
from her own growing satisfaction
in "goldilocks,' felt that thus she
nipped vanity in the bud. For the
same reason, combined with neatness,
the dainty frocks were covered with
long-sleeved, high-necked check
aprons which Primrose's beauty-1ov-
ing soul abhorred.
She had been at the farm nearly a
month when one morning at break
fast Miss Abigail said abruptly:

crackers tomorrow"
"Crackers?" Primrose's eyes grew
large with wonder.
H'Firecrackers, of course. Don't
look so Wild
Primrose tried to modify her objec-
tionable expression.

''Yes'm; Friday"
''Don't you know about the Fourth?
Sal1es alive! Your father used to tear
up the whole farm that day. Nor why

Primrose ventured weak-''Nobody

Miss Abigail strobe to the small
corner shelf and took down a dingy-
covered volume. Its time you knew
some history she said, ''but I can't
stop to tell you now. At least you
can read the Declaration Take it
out under the big walnut. Never
mind about the dishes this time.'
And Primrose, struggling over the
long words, wished she was at her
wonted tasks.

students Want to Control.

John Madden, one of the regents
of the state normal school, has be-
gun fight for student government
at that institution. This action is
the result of trouble between the stu
dents and the head of the physical
culture department., Miss Maud Stone.
The boys want a person in the phys
zeal culture department who can act
as a football coach. President Taylor
believes that a school con no more
be governed by a popular vote than
can an army, and it is generally con-

state normal should succeed, he would
resign.

the kitchen 'sCome in here. I've

after some time.
Primrose found her seated on the
floor before an open bureau drawer,
her lap full of little cases. You were

she said, amiably, motioning Primrose
to draw up a chair ''I've got a little
more time'n usual so I might as well

''This is your pas mother at the age

Queer enough Primrose found them,

she must drive to Stockton Primrose
