SUGAR MAKING LONG AGO

"When I was boy" said Bob
by's father. my home was on a
big farm. and every spring, when
the snow began to melt and sap
would run in the trees, / would
have to get up very early to help
my father.
He let me drive the team of
oxen drawing the long, low sled
back to the sugar camp. First we
would hollow out troughs of pop
lar, and placing these beside the
maple trees, we would bore holes
and put into the trees a tiny
wooden pipe. made by pushing
the pith out of an elderberry
stock. When the troughs would
be nearly filled with the sugar
water, we emptied them into the
barrels we hauled on the sled.
Then we would boil and boil the
sugar water in huge kettles, hang
ing over a wood fire, till 1t became
syrup.
One night my father allowed
me to invite some of the boys
out from the village to make
taffy. Like all boys, we ate and
ate taffy till we could eat no
more. Then we pulled what was
left, and twisted 1t into candy
canes. Then we wanted to hide
them where no one would see
them, and at the same time keep
them cold. So we put them all
down in the sugar water barrel
while we went out to play games
and tell stories.

MAY HAVE
SOMETHING Up HIS SLEEVE
Politicians Profess to Believe That In
surance Is Not Only Thing Legis-
Iature VIII Consider.

Austin, Texas. June 16.-That there is
more than the fire rating law involved
in the call for a special session of the
Texas legislature to meet at l o'clock on
the afternoon of July 10. which was is
sued Yesterday afternoon at o'clock, is
believed in local political and official
circles.
Efforts to secure definite statements
regarding this belief met with declina-
tions TO talk for publication this MORN
ing, but il is safe to assert that knowing
ones in the old state capital believe the
governor has something up his sleeve"
1t is conceded that Hawkins, commits
sioner of insurance and banking, will be
deprived of a place on the board, be-
cause that part of the law will be re-
peaIed, but whether it will be arranged
for the senate to decline TO confirm his
appointment to office Is wholly a mat
ter of conjecture and the assertion is
made that Campbell will not go so far
in opposition TO the commissioner, be-
cause the repeal of the law would work
the change the governor desires.
Hints are thrown out that submission
will be proposed in a new way. There is
talk of a change in the election law so
as to preclude a nomination by a plu-
rality vote in the primaries but friends
of the governor say he cOntempIateS no
such thing.
Johnson Not Worried
San Antonio, Texas, June 16.-'I am
not worried over any special sessions"
said Cone Johnson, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor of
Texas here today.
There is no necessity for governor
Campbell to bring any political matters
before the legislature. There is no dan
ger of ColqUitt being elected governor
of this state
Further than this Johnson has moth
ing to say referring to the call issued
yesterday afternoon.

an opinion on the special session of the
Legislature, o. B. ColQuitt, candidate for
Democratic nomination for governor of
Texas, said he thought the people of
Texas needed and wanted a rest from
Just such political clap trap"
He asserted that when he was COVER
nor he would not urge the Legislature to
pass an act and then be forced to call
special session to repeal the same act.
He got what he wanted said Col
quit, and now he is angry because an
official he appointed won't act on the
suggestion that the companies be per-
mitted to violate the law"
