The outside Of a refrigerator has
looked good to me all my life. When
boy I always was curious to know
what was inside, and imagined pud
dings and tellies and frozen custards
and fruits. One day I got into the one
at home!
There was a dab Of boiled rice"
showing more emotion. which l upset
In the milk trying to get out. and a
glass of jelly, bu; some one had upset
salad dressing over 1t. There was a
piece of pie but some one had spilled
catsup over It. the cheese had iirted
with the prunes, and chicken bone
was all | found that wasn't contami-
mated by too close association with
something else
1T was a great disappointment to
me. which ] hope will lessen the enor-
nifty Of my crime in your eyes"
Mrs. Lysander John said nothing that
night. but for the next two days she
acted so strangely her husband began
to wonder If the refrigerator incident
had decided her on getting a divorce.
Then she told all She, too, had been
a thief. With tears in her eyes, and a
sob In her voice, she handed Lysander
John $217. all In pennies and nickels
and dimes, and all looking as If they
had been laid away for years

there and the amounts were so small

great disappointment. 1 hope 1T will
lessen the enormity Of my crime in your
eyes"
Lyssnder John grew very thoughtful
as he sat with the money In his hands.
1T never occurred to me- before" he
said to himself after many days of
speculation, how many ways there are
for a man to be disappointment to

r is a question which is the easier,

1t was like touching a sponge that
was soaked till It could hold no more.
Mrs. Appleton, being sentimental,
soon succumbed. and fairly dripped in
her woe. Lysander John. being sympa-
thetic. blinked his eyes and blew his
nose, and wished he hadn't come.
Both went forward for prayers, Mrs.
Appleton because It was customary for
her to get converted. and habit is ev-

YOU ARE roo YOUNG FOR THAT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

years older than myself He has asked
me to give my other gentlemen friends
up and go with him. He likes me very
much and I like him.
CONSTANT READER.
girl Of fifteen is too young to let
her friendship for the boys be made
serious by monopoly. That is proper
only when an engagement exists, and
YOU are FIVE to six years too young for
that Refuse his proposal, and refuse
positively II is for your own good.
AN INCREDIBLE CASE,
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am eighteen. and have been in love
with man five years my senior for
three years. 1t seems impossible for us
to get acquainted. I know he really
likes me, for he has not only said 1t,
but shows It. l.. c. Q.
Love. they say, always finds way,
but Love has been incredibly slow In
your case.
However, It is hardly possible that
you really love each other. You have
seen him occasionally for three years.
but have never spoken to him. Your
love has no more foundation in reality
than II you worshiped picture in a
book.
Don't take 1t SO seriously, Perhaps
acquaintance would spoil the Illusion.
Unless you can make his acquaintance
in a regulation way. don't seek to make
It at all Forget him.

Why Were the Names
Left Off?

The Miami Metropolis asks the fol-
lowing very pertinent questions:
Setting aside all convictions about
the apparent chicanery that has been
used to make the presidential prefer
ment race in Florida, a contest be-
tween Woodrow Wilson, and Oscar
Underwood. the Metropolis is moved to
approach the matter in another way.
Was 1t not the general understand
ing that the voters Of Florida were to
be given chance to express their
choice for the democratic candidate
from among ALL the candidates in the
field?
Is not the spirit of a presidential
primary, the securing of an expression
of the wishes of the citizens of this
state?
Under what rule or resolution of the
state executive committee, are the
names Of Governor Harmon, Champ
Clark and Governor F'oss omitted from
the ballots?
The business of the state executive
committee, in this matter, it would
seem, would have been to certify to
the county committees the names Of
every announced candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination.
We suggest that an explanation be
offered by Chairman Price-it all looks
so queer.
The Journal can perhaps add some,
though little. light on the subject. The
State Democratic Executive Committee
met in Jacksonville, Jan. 16. 1912, and
passed resolutions providing for pri-
mary elections on April 80 and May %.
The last section of the resolutions was
as follows
Resolved further, That the campaign
committee cause to be printed on the
ballots the names of all known demo-
cratic candidates for the Office of pres
ident of the United States, and that in
case none of such candidates receive a
majority of all votes cast in the first
primary, then, in such event, that the
names OF the two candidates for said
office who have received the greatest
number of votes cast in the first pri-
mary, shall be printed upon the ball
lots as such candidates for said office
in the second primary; that the candt-
date receiving the majority vote for
said office of all ballots cast shall be
declared to be the first choice OF the
democratic party of the state of Flor
ida for said Office: and that the dele
gates to the national convention who
may be elected in manner aforesaid
are instructed to cast their vote for
such candidate so receiving such ma =
jority vote for said office as the first
choice of the democratic party of the
state Of Florida
This meant, If it meant anything al
all, that the names of ALL KNOWN
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES for the
office Of president Of the United States
should be printed on the ballot,
Under that resolution, passed unan-
imously by the state committee. II was
Chairman Prices duty to see that the
names of "all known democratic can
didates" WE'RE printed on the ballot.
Clark. Harmon. Underwood, and Will
son are all KNOWN candidates. II
Clark and Harmon, or someone au-
thorized to speak for them. instructed
Chairman Price to omit their names
from the ballot, we'll and good. II they
did not do so. then their names SHOULD
be on the ballot.
We quite agree with the Miami Me-
tropolls that an explanation from
Chairman Price would be in order.
