THE sEWiTcHED PUMPKINS

Many years ago there lived some
very rude little boys who thought
they knew so much more than their
schoolmates, and so they called the
children who failed in their lessons
naughty names like dummy" and
pumpkin head"
One night on their way home
from school, as these rude boys ran
after their schoolmates and threw
stones and called them names. all
of sudden they found they were
sticking fast to the ground. and
there in front of them stood a
witch, who told them that for beng
so rude and unkind they would be
turned into pumpkins. and they
grow in the fields with corn and
other pumpkins. They never should
talk any more except on halloween,
when the fairies would cut faces on
their yellow heads and they would
then be able to run about and talk
and play from midnight till day
break, when they would have to go
back to the fields again.
Sure enough their feet had
turned into roots In the ground,
their bodies were long green stems,
and their clothes were leaves, and
each one saw that the other boys
head was huge. round, yellow
pumpkin. How they wished they
had listened to their teacher and
not been so unkind to their little
friends.

criminals if the recommendations
of the commissioners on uniform

The committee holds that 1t is

assertions that the woman Is al

From the best statistics, the
committee reports, the offense is
increasing, and it appears to be
due to moral rather than to physi
cal causes. The deserter lights out
because he wants to avoid ordinary
cares or some unusual trouble.
The penalty recommended for the
offense, for either husband or wife
deserter, is fine of not more than
$500 or Imprisonment at hard labor
for not more than IL months.

Goods Roads.
Charlotte Observer,


Nobody has ever yet heard Of
a case where a county has voted
bonds for good roads, or has built
good roads out Of tax money, as
has been the case inMecklenburg,
regretting the action. There is
not case where good roads have
ever been built, where the peo-
pie would give up the roads and
accept the return of the money.
An investment that nobody ever
rues, must be a pretty good in
vestment. The cost of Mecklen-
burg good roads wouldaggregate
a very pretty sum, possibly be-
tween three and four hundred
thousand dallars. Yet if today
any sort of offer was made to the
county authorities to give up
these good roads, go back to the
condition of mud highways be-
fore the time ofgood roads, accom-
panied by the return of all thu
eney, the vote on the question
would be lost ten to one. Peopl
t who have never had good road
! may doubt the investment, bu
: those who have them, know tina
the investment is a good one.
