PUzZLETO SAM PORTER

sIxTY DAYS ON ROCK PILE AND NO
CHICKENS. 1AGGED.
Laura Emerson Talcott, Also coIored,

Affections. .'t

ine misting rain had been falling for
hours and the ground was slippery un-
der foot.
The asphalt streets, as somebody or
other said, looked like a newly caught
catfish, and dirty drops trickled from
the awnings.
But in the midst Of the drizzle Sam
Porter (colored) made his slipshod
way, his face serene and his gait as
energetic as the gait Of Sam por-
ter (colored) ever got to be.
To gnd out why Sam Porter (color-
ed) was out In the drizzle it is neces-
sary to go back three days, the Gal.
weston News tells its readers.
Three days before, Laura Emerson
Talcott, also colored, but not quite so
much so as Sam, had been fired from
The employ Of one Major Tanner, and
though they had accused Laura of
stealing silver match safe, and had
found 1t on her, shs was naturally in
dignant.
Being indignant, therefore, Laura
had told Sam that Major Tanner has
as fine alot Of white Plymouth Rock
fowls as man ever raised: that the
chicken house was away from the
house, and that the staple was loose.
This was welcome information to Sam.
He wasted no time In acting upon it.
Through the alley back of the Tan.
ner home Sam sneaked, his sodden,
burst-out shoes suuashed merrily.
Occasionally he paused to listen, pre-
pared, If discovered, to throw away the
sack he carried in his shirt front.
The alley gate was locked, and Sam
had to climb over the fence. The
major had ornamented the fence with
nails and barb wire, and as Sam jump
ed, apparently the nails and barb wire
Jumped toward him, and he landed
upon pile Of loose lumber, bruised,
scratched, and torn, with a noise as
II house had fallen. But nobody
came.
Recovering his breath, he crept to-
ward the chicken house. Better than
reported! It wasn't even locked.
Cropping within, Sam felt every inch

no fowls.
Out in the alley he scratched his
ear ref1ectively. It was plain that
something, had gone wrong. But Sam
didn't know what.
1t was that Laura had swiftly trans.
eerred her affections to a yellow mig
ger from up In the country and had
told him about the fowls also, and this
yellow man, seeing that Sam might
possibly be swift mover, decided to
be like lightning. ee 80 -acis."'s
And passing policeman, in a bad

bed Sam as he emerged from the al
ley. He had been too badly ratified
to throw away the sack and this
caused him to be sent to the station

On on general principles.
And the next day the major appear
ed against him, and the sack and his
presence in the alley, coupled with the
loss of the majors fine fowls, gave
Sam 60 days on the rock pile.
The go days are not yet up, and Sam
doesn't understand yet why he didn't
get those chickens.

upon which the members of the COM
mission were not satisfied. One hour
was given to each. After this cSn-
elusive hearing, the Wheeler Readers
were adopted. They won before a di-
vided commission over 13 competitors.
The Baldwin Readers in use in 35
counties had been sold for 1925 a
series. The Wheeler Readers were
adopted at $205 a series. It was state
uniformity that brought the price of
readers down-making a saving of zoe
on each series of readers to be sold
under state adoption.
Meaning of Exchange Prices.
Under state adoption, the exchange
of old books for new is provided for.
this of itself is a feature of advantage
almost unheard of under county
adoption. 1t is true that few Florida
counties had such a contract, but the
practice of exchanging old books for
new books was by no means general.
Under state adoption exchange prices
will have some meaning and will mean
some saving to a great many people.
AS an example of what may be done
under state adoption where the oppor-
tunity for greater business spurs the
contractor to do his best, we have but
to cite that one of the contractors al
lows so per cent of the contract price
in exchange for old books. thereby
going the requirements of the state
law 10 per cent better. More than that,
promotional exchange is allowed. This
means that a child may take a first
reader of any kind to the book store
and get q new second reader in eX-
change for the old first reader upon
the payment of 15c, or 40 per cent of
the contract price printed on the book.
The principle works all the way
through the series. In computing the
benefits of uniformity, it should be re-
membered that Florida has been pay
ing an approximate advance of 25 per
cent of the prices paid in other states
for a long term of years. This would
have continued indefinitely had it not
been terminated by the passage of the
Cone uniformity bill. There is really
no way to circulate accurately what
the saving will be to the people of
Florida under the new system. If we
save on photography, arithmetic, gram
mer, history, reading and physiology
as to each individual subject. it must
follow that weN save on the aggregate
number of such books purchased.
Neither the acts nor the motives Of
the members of the text book COM
missions are to be impugned. They
worked faithfully, conscientiously and
according to their best lights, and so
it must appear to any one who ex-
amines infinitely the record of their
work, which is open to the inspection
of all upon request.

It Is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avo.d as
far as possible the suffering of such
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health
and strength unimpaired. This she
may do through the use of Mothers
Friend, remedy that has been so
long in use, and accomplished so
much good, that it is in no sense an
experiment, but preparation which
always produces the best results. It
is for exernal application and so pen
Grating in its nature as to thoroughly
lubricate every muscle, nerve and ten
don involved during the period before
baby comes. 1t aids nature by ex-
banding the skin and tissues, relieves
tenderness and soreness, and perfectly
prepares the system for natural and
safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and its use will
prove comfort and benefit to any
woman in need of such a remedy.

the rest of Europe either)-that
is, with the name and sense used
in this country. In England they
are called public-houses. In wear

Buildings of even that height are

gowns, like those of college gradu-

wigs, of the Louis XIV style, with
short pig tails. Referring to bar
risters may say that in England
there are two distinct kinds Of
lawyers, known as solicitors and
barristers. whose functions can new
er be combined in one person. The
former never appear before court,
but have everything to do with
the working up Of case. 1t is to
a solicitor that person must turn
for legal council. A harrister is
not allowed to receive a case from
a client; he can do nothing with
a case unless it is presented to him
by a solicitor, at which point the
latter's part ends. The barrister
then takes charge of the case in
court.
