man sold each pound of ice as a
pound and a half to make extra money
and the stunt was to figure how much
he made.
II the iceman had been homes. he
could have sold only 1000 pounds OF
Ice on his daily trip, since that was
the capacity Of his wagon. On this
he would make Is cents per 100 or
$500. On the evening route, whea
he sold for 20 cents per 100. making
a profit OF 5 cents. lie would cleaf
$3.50 on the 5000 pounds.
What he actually did was to sci!
his 1000 pounds, costing SC, for 5000
pounds at 80 cents, realizing SlS-sl2
OF which was profit. In the evening
he sold 1000 pounds, cos..ng 50 for
5000 pounds at zoe, realizing s6-s3
Of which was profit.
Therefore, by cheating he made a
profit Of SIS, whereas his honest pro-
fit should have been $3.50.

7 re trudged YEARLY along, a mite
n OF a youngster, with a mongrel
cur watching him with adoring
eyes and following closely at his
heels. Tom was too miserable to
think Of anything but his desire to
get as far away from everybody as he
could.
He had not been treated fairly. His
father had told him he could keep
the dog-the n thing in Toms uni
verse he wanted with his whole little
heart-then had changed his mind.
He gave no reason. Just said he
wouldn't have such a looking cur
about. That he must go, and Tom
decided he would go also. II grown
ups couldn't keep their promise, why
should a little boy stay at home when
his best friend was sent away to
starve?
At this thought Tom sat down and
Rugged the yellow cur close. With
doggish sympathy the pup responded
with moist tongue and a ludicrous
attempt at wagging his stump OF a
tail.
Toms misery had reached the
breaking point. Tears we're near, al
though still held bravely back. He
had walked miles and miles. No one
had seen him leave the house. Had
he but known 1t, he was a very lost
little boy with the whole neighbor-
hood searching for him far and wide.
This was not surprising. Tempted by
the shade OF the big trees, Tom had
left the main t~horoughfare and wan
dered down a little-used road that
carried him farther and farther away
from the usual haunts OF men. Now
he was very tired and very hungry.
With his arms about the yellow cur,
tears just glistened on eyelashes that
rested lightly against berry-stained
cheeks, he slept the sleep of exhaus-
tion. half hidden in the grass by the
roadside close to the end OF nowhere.
A few yards farther on the road
ended in front Of a house, a log house
with a deep, screened porch and a
gay flower border at nj side. The
forest trees grew close and within a

The last pension bill, so far as the
present session OF Congress is con-
cerned. passed the House several
weeks ago. There will ne nothing do.
ing in the way Of passing special pen
sions bill until the next session. But
there is nc rule against introducing
them. There is always plenty OF room
in the House bill basket for them.
"The Republican voters in my sec.
ton Of the State" sid S. L. Cobun, Of
Preston county, at the Raleigh hotel
today, "are contented with our ma.
tional candidate and pleased with his
speech Of acceptance. Hughes and
Fairbanks will get the party vote as
a whole in my section and. from my
own observations and what l have
been told, they will receive quite a
number of Democratic votes scattered
throughout the counties with whose
sentiment on affairs political ! am
some what conversa::."
Mr.. Cobun, who served as a mem
Der OF the House Of Delegates, Is this
year a candidate for state senator In.
the Preston district. AS a testimon.
ial Of his standing with the people
with whom he lives and does bust.
ness, 1t need only be stated that the
Democratic party did not nominate a
candidate to oppose him. Therefore,
he is as good as elected light now. and
isn't sitting up nights worrying over
that.
"The oreness growing out of the
rather too vehement struggle vel the
gubernatorial nomination Is fast dis.
appearing" continued Mr.. Cobun.
THAT Is the only thing in the sitIa.
ton which need have worried any
body, and that is rapidly disappoint.
ing, getting better every day in fact.
In every other respect the party was
in good shape and is today. Congress.
man George NJ. Bowers. now that the
people Of the district have had q
chance to see him in action and to
know him, is stronger than his party
In the district as a whole, and there
isn't the faintest chance o. the Sec.
ond getting away from him and Slip
ping back into the Democratic COL
umn. Not a chance. AS the solidify-
ing and reunion Of the party as a re.
suit Of General Lilly's magnanimous
and patriotic action proceeds, the
prospects I Judge Robinson's elec.
ton grows brighter. Ia not have a
doubt but what he will receive the
full part;;' vote, as all other candidates
will. 1t looks like a big Republican
year In West Virginia and the
strength Of Hughes AMI Fairbanks
with u eople will help the lesser
candidates immensely"
