Kendall tiptoed to the bottom of the stairs and called "Mother!" in voice which to the uninitiated might have indicated that he was one of those gentle, retiring children known gen erally as not daring, to speak above whisper.
 There was no answer. So, mutter- ing to himself, well, l guess she ain't at home, or I guess she said she was going downtown today" he made a very subdued, genteel exit
 But Kendall had reckoned without his host. Before he had reached the street he was stopped by voice from the front upstairs window. Mrs. Boyd had not been Kendalrs another twelve years without having become more or less acquainted with his ways.
 Kendall, dear," she said, where are you going?"
 Kendall halted on the lower step and kicked the newel post viciously. Then he regarded the toe of his shoe with great disfavor
 Play ball." he said. "Over in the lot With the fellers.
 But, you know, dancing school be gins today" and his mother, sweetly You must come in and get ready"
 She withdrew her head discreetly in time to avoid being convicted oi hearing her son respond. "Aw. rats on dancing school I ain't going!"
 Then Kendall sat down on the ster and bumped the railing with his bat for several minutes. There was nc further sound from the house and he repeated his former remarks in loud CT tone: "Aw, rats on old dancing school! I ain't going this year.
 Say, mother" he shouted, bellig erently. q ain't going to change my clothes, anyway. These is goot ! enough for old dancing school"
 There was no response.
Holbrook argus., 1912-03-26

Say, mother, my foot hurts me aw- ful, bet my ankles sprained. Any wayo I bet 1t will be if I dance all afternoon.
 I'm going to wear my pumps over to the hall and then I won't have to change them after I get there. It makes me tired having to change my shoes hundred times every day Wellr anyway, I'm not going to change them when I come home. I'm going to wear my pumps. We'll, anyway. if I don't wear them home this time I'm going to the next time. Say, mother, I won't have to walk home with any girl, will F"
 No son." replied Mrs. Boyd, com fortingly, That's one thing I don't consider absolutely necessary for your social salvation The time will come soon enough when you'll want to-"
 Gee! be AI on'tl" said Kendall. Say, mother tie my necktie for me, will youf G is! I hate 'eml Geel when I'm grown up bet I won't ever go to dancing school or speak to a girl or anything Gee! Don't I wish I was grown up?
 Say, mother, honest, do I have to ! go to daacing school2"
Holbrook argus., 1912-03-26

"Aw, rats!" Kendall said once more. q wish there hadn't never been an old dancing school. Then maybe I wouldn't have to go."
 After relieving his mind by giving the steps several much louder knocks than before, he rose and went into the house, kicking each step as he went. He draped himself about the banisters and swung there noisily until the sound of the maternal voice came to him from the upper regions.
 Come up, Kendall, and begin dress ing"
 "Aw, don't want to go to old danc- ing school" Kendall reiterated. Ken dall's vocabulary was somewhat limit ed. Say, mother, don't make me go this year. Nobody but sissy boys go to dancing school"
 There was no reply. Mrs Boyd was past mistress of the art of coercion by silence.
 Well, anyway, I'm just going to wear my school clothes. I'll take my r pumps, but these clothes is good enough"
 Clump! Clump! Clump!
 Say mother!" said voice from the depths of Kendalrs closet q don't have to wash my neck, do I? Say, gee! gave 1t a good wash this morn ing. I ain't going to wash 1t again this afternoon"
 Silence.
 Well, anyway, I ain't going to wash ! it tonight before I go to bed if I have to wash it this afternoon I don't see what difference it makes. I'm clean enough to go and dance with g lot of girls and lot of sissy boys"
 Splash, splash, splash, from the bathroom.

 Silence.

WILSON AND THE FARMERS.

Maine is pre-eminently an agricul-
tural state, and the democrats spell
binders who canvassed it for a few
weeks before the election-Speaker
Clark. Governor Foss, of Massa chus-
etts; Governor Baldwin. of Connecti-
cut; Vice-Presidential Candidate
Marshall, and the rest of them-laid
special stress upon the tariff as the
main issue of 1912, and as of especial
interest to the farmers. That demo-
cratic bogus farmers free list bill
which the president vetoed was cited
as an instance of the sort of relief
which the tillers OF the soil would re-
ceive if Professor Wilson should car
ry the country in November.
Then Maine went right ahead and
declared against Wilson and his party.
| Why did Maine turn down the school
master? Because it believed that he
had no knowledge of the real needs OF
the people, and particularly because
| that he was on the wrong side
of the tariff question. Maine heard
the best arguments which could be
made against the tariff and the repub-
lican party, and then it cast its ballots
for both. The first talk which Prof.
Wilson made outside Of his state after
his nomination was to gathering OF
farmers, and to them he told some of
the things which his party would do ii
it should elect him and democratic
house and senate His words were
sort of keynote" of Marshall, Clark
and the rest of the talented democrats
who acclaimed before Maine audiences
of farmers. The defeat of Gov Plaist-
ed and the plurality of over 1000 for
the head Of the republican ticket, with
an incidental gain of republican con-
gresham and republican United
States senator, is Names answer to
the democratic plea.
For the democrats the September
result in the Pine Tree state has an
element of instructiveness," says the
democratic Brooklyn Eagle. 1t adds
that candidate Wilson is entirely
right in making it clear that he is for
radical and unhesitating reform by
downright revision" The Eagles
counsel to Wilson is correct. AS a
free trader the candidate should talk
free trade doctrine. But he cannot
fool the farmers thereby. They are
not quite so yerdant as some people
suppose. The tariff is an old subject,
and the farmers know more about it
than Prof. Wilson thinks. A demo-
cratic presidential candidate third of
century ago disparaged the tariff as
a matter of national concern and said
that it was a mere local question. The
schoolmaster treats the issue a little
more seriously than did the general,
but his ill luck will hardly be less.
He is honest and innocent, just as
General Hancock was, and he is like
ly to meet the fate which hit Hancock.

Heavy damage was done along the
Turkish coast today by continued
earthquake shocks and reports to
Turkish officials increased the death

been injured and there are probably
$4,000 homeless and in want. Many
towns and villages along the Darda'

Sea of Mamora have been destroyed or
wrecked by the earth tremors. Be
cause of the Balkan troubles and the
war with Italy the government can
not spare enough soldiers to feed the
victims and clear the ruins.
At Gallipoli a number of buildings
which had been left standing from Fri
days shocks were razed today.
Inhabitants of the earthquake zone
have fled from their homes taking ref
uge in fields or on the mountain side:
and are in danger of starvation. Ths
scant supplies sent by the government
are inadequate to stay the suffering.
