The GHOST IGNORES
THE SHERIFF DUO
Neither Patton nor WooIIcy
Received Their January
Salaries Yesterday.

The ghost didn't walk for either
Sheriff James Woouey or Sheriff
James Patton yesterday. although
the day had long been marked as
pay day on the calendars of both
officers To make matters more
complex the county commissioners
met in regular session and salaries
were paid to every other omploye on
the payroll
Although the matter was not dis
Cussed officially yesterday by the
commissioners, they declared that
Sheriff Woolley would not receive
any part of his salary at this time
and his deputies will be paid only
the fees due them. The commits
sioncrs would not say whether Pat
ton and his deputies would be paid
at this time and the matter prob
ably will be brought up for discus
sion at today's meeting
ono of the commissioners said
yesterday that Patton and his dep
uties would be paid out of the reg
ular salary fund and if Sheriff
Woollcy is declared innocent of the
accusations made by the grand jury
he would be paid out of the con-
tingent fund.

for him he'd come In Instantly.
The afternoon of the festival came
at last. The program was indeed n
pretty one. There were dances-all
kinds of dancing in groups, with each
little maid as fresh and sweet and
pretty in her dainty frock as the flow
ers she carried. Several of the little
girls danced "solos'-that is, danced
| by themselves. to the delight of their
fond parents and, indeed, to the de-
| light Of all the grown ups" present
Then, after the dance by Grace and
Tillie and our two bad little heroes.
was to come the grand finale-which
was dance for all the children
around the big May pole.
! But. alas, ten minutes before the
program started both George and
Frank were very crestfallen young
gentlemen. For Miss Dodd had an
nounced:
Children, the fathers and mothers
of many of you have all contributed
to fund with which we have pur-
| chased ice cream-vanilla and choco-
/ late and strawberry. Now. there is
more of it than we will need to serve
everyone"-the children didn't see
| how that could be possible-"so I've
decided to give each boy and girl who
! dances well plate of ice cream Just
| as soon as he has finished his part
1 II he
over, all of us, including the fathers
and mothers and other spectators, will
| all be served with ice cream in the
big assembly room. So-as Won can
see-every boy and girl who dances
well will get two plates of cream
one Immediately after his dance and
the other when everybody is served"
Miss Dodd thought 81 new the eff
feet such an announC ellent would
have upon her little charges; but not
even she had anticipated such zeal
and earnest attention to business as
the dancers manifested
George looked at Frank, and Frank
looked at George. Then they both
looked away and. would you believe
it, seemed to be trying to avoid each
other until the time for their dance
came.
And how we'll they danced it, Miss
Dodd was simply amazed-for she had
been fearful that they would not re-
member the steps and turns. But
they danced like little dancing mas
ters-and gentlemen.
Also, George didn't whistle. He
must have forgotten to do so. And
if he had, it is extremely doubtful
whether Frank would have seized his
ribbon, turned about and made a mad
dash to wrap it around Title and the
May pole as they had planned
The applause was great.
George can be so nice and sweet
when he wants to-" said his mother
Il am simply amazed at Frank. -
answered that youngsters mother. ~
had no idea he was SO fond of dane
ing"
Two minutes later George and
Frank were in one corner of the as
sembly room, each with a big saucer
of ice cream in front of him.
I'm going to take chocolate next
time" said George
And I'm going to take strawberry, >,
said Frank.
III give you half of my choco-
late if you'll give me half of your
strawberry" suggested George.
Maybe, only l got to taste It
first"
But neither of them said so much
as one word about their deep-laid
scheme to break up" the May fes-
tival.

Romance The Angel PLAYMATE

II WONDER what all our poets and
story-tellers would have done If
they had never had The Ara
y bian Nights Entertainment" to
read as children. You can't be said
to be really educated until you know
these as we'll as Mother Goose and
all the standard fairy tales-because
all the grown-up people go on writ
ing about them and referring to them
whenever they can; they love to do 1t
just to show they have not forgotten
all they once knew. Then, too they
are on sure and solid ground, for they
know that everyone will understand
what they are talking about; which is
not always the case with some of their
finest poems.
For instance, there IS a great Eng
lish poet called William Ernest
Henley. He had but one child, Mar
garet, a dear little girl who died when
she was six. After her death, he
scarcely wrote at all. The blow broke
his heart. He calls her "a little ex-
quisite Ghost. smiling with the serenest
eyes seen in this world, and calling,
calling still Come. Dadsie. comet"
Probably it was for her that he
wrote a long poem called Arabian
Nights Entertainment" He confesses
