SHOULD TIE SESSION SE EKTENDED9

There is much talk about extending the session of the legislature in order that.certain very important investiga- tions may be concluded and the neces- sary laws may be enacted. The question is: Should it be done? There are few criticisms of the extension up to the middle of May. Every one who thought much about the situation regarded it as necessary. It may be necessary again, but it is only necessary if at all by reason of the fact that the time has been taken up in enacting special and local bills, many of which ought never to have been introduced.
 A resolution was read in the Senate yesterday afternoon looking to an ex- tension to June 10th Senator Goodwin offered to amend providing that no per diem be paid after May 14th. Senator Oldham suggested that in view of the fact that there is great difference of opinion as to who will be governor when the session adjourns, if Gov. Lit tie is at that time unable to be at his post, it may be advisable to take re- cess of twenty days in order that all committees may finish their work and report and Acting Governor Moore could then sign all the bills and possibly prevent litigation over the validity of the acts signed by either Gov. Moore or whenever the Senate may elect as lieutenant governor.
 In any event the thing to do is tc give the right of way to things which are absolutely essential and let the others some up for consideration il there is time.

 That to be poor without losing self respect or a sense of enjoyment is a fine art.

No 90 degrees in the shade up to this
9th day of May as yet, but that it looks
and acts more like spring must be ad-
mitted by the most casual observer.
Fences have been repaired, boulders re-
moved from the field by dynamite, dress
ing hauled out and the cattle in the
pasture getting part of their living.
And yet there has been snow drift
near by so that no other ice has been
used in the creamery up to date.
Frank Brooks has moved back from
Locke's Mills, but is not yet settled in

rather thinks it will have to be amputat-
ed at the first joint, as it should have
been when the accident occurred.
Speaking of the black squirrel, it is so
rare an animal, at least in this section of
the state, that We have seen but one
ST ecimeu during our somewhat pro-
tracted pilgrimage and that was some %
years ago. We saw an animal running
along on the wall near by similar to the
common red squirrel, but black as a
mink, and perhaps there might have been
some doubt as to what ID was had not
the cat brought in the same animal a
day or two later, when on being examin-
ed at close quarters, it was found to be a
black squirrel-nothing more nor less. 1t
has been said that the black squirrel is
not distinct species, having been found
in the same nest with the common red
squirrel, but as to that matter we know
nothing, yet why not, since black and
red kittens are sometimes found in the
same nest, and yet no one doubts but
that they belong to the same species.
