Professor Chester Kent
Dear Kent: Here goes! met her

the afternoon. Some wonderful

hoofs, and horse with girl in the
saddle came whizzing round the
turn almost upon me. Just there
the rain had made a puddle Of thick,
sticky mud, the mud-pie variety. AS
the horse went by at full gallop. a
fine. fat mud pie rose. scared through

Small thanks to you that you
didn't"
MY tone silenced her for a mo-
ment. Somehow, though. I got the
feeling that she was amused more
than abashed at my resentment And
her voice was suspiciously meek
when she presently spoke again.
You're an artist. aren't you?
"No," / said, busily scraping away
ut my copperplate. I'm an archeol-
ogist, engaged, in exhuming an an
Client ruin from square mile OF

She laughed; but in a moment be-

she said. II know | shouldn't come

less way. May II should like to-
buy your picture?"
You may not I replied.
THAT isn't quite Fair. is it," she
asked. "If I have done damage, I
should be allowed to repair It."

propose to do it? ! suppose that you
think a picture that can be bought

THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
DISCUSSED IN CANADA.

London, Ont, Dec. 16.--The Pro-
vincial Highways Commission meets
here today in an effort to gain the
pulse of the good roads movement.
Provincial Highway Engineer Nc
Lean outlined the special desires Of
the commission for these meetings,
which are understood to be merely the
precursors of others.
There are seven matters on which
information will be sought in parti.
cular. These include:
(I The benefit to be derived from
road improvement.
ca The kind of roads considered
desirable for the locality represented.
CD The source from which revenue
for roads should be derived.
(4) The value of statute labor.
90 The classification of roads and
the governing body in which control
of each should be placed.
(6) The roads or the locality, which
are or which should be constructed on
main roads for local market or other
accumulated and important traffic.
ca The width of tires and the con.
troll of automobile, traction engine,

G. 0. P. MEETING TO-DAY

Washington, pec. 16.-Members OF
the Republican National Committee
from every State and Territory in the
Union are to attend the big powwow
today. The meeting will be devoted
to a discussion of party matters, Chair
man Charles d. Hilles and Secretary
James B. Reynolds having made this
plan I'm the call issued for the confer
ence. The decision to call the Nation
al Committee results from the repeat
ed requests of Republican party The
principal changes demanded are in the
basis of representation from the
Southern States at National conven-
lions, and in the method of electing
delegates from States that have pri-
mary laws covering that subject.
1t is expected that the National
Committee will not agree to the call
ing of a National convention without
protest on the part of its members,
who claim that the committee itself
has ample authority to make the nee
essary changes in rules and regula-
lions.
California, Iowa and South Dakota,
however, have statutes which provide
for the election of delegates to Nation
al party conventions on the Statewide
plan. The law committee holds that
the National Committee has authority
, to make exceptions in calling the spe-
cial convention as to conform to the

Little Rock, Ark. June 24.-There has been little change today in the fig ures that are being compiled from the gubernatorial race of last Saturday. Judge Hays still retains his lead at midnight and the indications are that he will continue to do so at least un- til Phillips county is heard from, as it is claimed by the Brundidge man. agers that that county will report a big majority for the Searcy man.
 On the other hand the Hays manag- CTS declare that while they believe that Phillips county will give Judge Hays majority, yet they could give Colonel Brundidge 1000 votes in that county and then have several thous- and majority
 The Hays managers will not show their hand" They are claiming the nomination of Judge Hays by several thousand they assert that they have confirmed reports from all but one county to justify them in their state ment of victory.
 On the other hand the Brundidge headquarters is confident of victory. There are many who believe, however that Judge Hays will get the nomina tion and among them are many former staunch supporters of Col Brundidge No explanation has been made as to why the Phillips county vote has not been reported. Efforts to get it from Helena have failed.
 The Gazette's totals tonight. giving Judge Hays a majority of 504, were made from the returns sent in by it's correspondents from over the state. It is admitted, however, that these re- ports are not complete, for in many of the counties heard from there are various townships in which elections have been held but which have not re- turned the gubernatorial vote.
 It is freely talked here that the Hays headquarters has received prac- tically the entire vote cast over the state, with the exception of that in Phillips and few townships in Sharp and Newton counties. It is upon the figures that have been received that the Hays managers are passing their insstent statements that their cham l pion has won.
 There has been nothing to indicate however, that the Brundidge managers are worried about their candidate, but at times it appears that there is Hull of enthusiasm around the Brundidge headquarters. Manager MllWee IS still confident his man has won, how ever, and will not concede anything The Hays managers continue to tell their friends that there is no occasion for doubt. "It's cinch" they say, anC Judge Hays continues to receive con gratulatory telegrams from every sec tion of the state.
