WILL BE LONGER THAN 60 DAYS

Little Rock, May 2-Members of the Legislature are declaring that the next session will be longer than 60 days, notwith standing the fact there is little doubt the the Norwood amend ment is adopted providing for sixty days session. Being a co, ordinate law making branch with the people, the legislature will have power to amend repeal, or propose any act passed by the people under the initiative, and it is intimated that it may not be considered convenient for the members to get through their work in sixty days next session. An effort will probably therefore be made to postpone the short session law until 1915.

In Behalf of the Schools

It seems that a public eXplan- ation should be made just here in regard to our requirements in the public schools. Before this term it has been the custom that no one be excused from the room under any condition. If such excuse was necessary, it was counted mark against t h @ room. But believing that such requirement. was too often de trimental to the pupils health and general physical condition, at the first of this term we dis carded it.
 The ruling that has been work ed in this year is that in case of sickness of a pupil in attendance, the parent write an excuse to the teacher explaining the situation, then the pupil is excused. And if it becomes necessary for any pupil to leave the room when he has not the written statement, he is taken at his word, depend ing on the judgment of the teach CT always.
 A child physically disabled is not prepared to do good mental work. And in as much as the

 l was nettled now at all these things which were coming to puzzle and. per turb an honest fellow out for a morn ing ride.
 ''Yes," I answered him. "since you are anxious to know, I'll say I can throw any man in Fairfax except one"
 And he?"
 ''My father. He's sixty. as I told you, but he can always beat me"
 ''There are two in Fairfax you can not throw," said Orme, smiling.
 Sir" I said to him hotIy. "I pro pose taking you home with me. But before I do that and since you seem to wish it l am going to lay you on your back here in the road. Frankly, there are some things about you I do not like and if that will remedy your con- ceit I'm going to do it for you for any sort of wager you like"
 Money against your horse?' he in quired. stripping to his ruff1ed shirt as he spoke. "A hundred guineas, five hundred?"
 ''Yes. for the horse,'' I said. He's worth ten thousand. But if you've two or three hundred to pay for my soiling the shoulders of your shirt I'm willing to let the odds stand so."
 ''I like you" he said simply. eff all the men of this country resembled you all the world could not beat it''
 Orme came to me with no hurry and no anxiety. light on his feet as a skilled fencer. As he passed he struck for my shoulder. and his grip. although 1t did not hold. was like the cutting of a hawks talons. He branded me red with his fingers wherever he touched me. although the stroke of his hand was half tentative rather than az gressive. I went to him with head low. and he caught me at the back of the neck with a stroke like that of a smiting bar. but l flung him of. and so we stepped about, hands extended, waiting for a hold.
