The ShOrt-hOrnS Arrive.
In at least one respect, the
short horned messenger had told
the truth. Before twenty-foul
hours had gone by, the fellow re-
turned to Farmer Green's door
yard; and with him came a great,
fat person who belonged without
question to the Locust family.
Nobody could call his horns
long. Nor could anyone call them
medium. They were short; and no
one in his right mind would deny
it.
where's that fellow youe call
Lcaper?" the messenger asked
Chirpy Cricket. Here's his cou-
SIM And the rest of the family
will be dropping down here in just
few minutes"
Chirpy Cricket replied that he
hadn't seen Leaper the Locust
since the night before.
That's strange!' the messenger
remarked, turning to his fat COM
panion. "He was to be here to
welcome you"
''Ah! see him now! He's right
here in this tree" exclaimed the
fat one. And he jumped,
half-flew into Kiddie Katydid's IA
vorite tree.
"You're wrong!" said Kiddie
Katydid. Pm a Long horn - and
you can't claim to be a cousin of
mine"
My mistake! My mistahe"

Candidate For
Senate Clerk

John P. Hunt of Woodburn. will
be a candidate for chief clerk of
the senate during the next session
of thel legislature, according to an
nouncement made here. Reports
reaching Salem indicate that he has
received enough pledges of votes to
insure his election. If successful in
his campaign he will succeed John
w. Cochran, who is now deputy
secretary of state. For several ses-
sions of the legislature Mr.. Hunt
served as assitant to the chief clerk.
Miss Rosina Miller of McMinn-
vile, secretary to President Vinton
of the senate during the 1919 ses-
sion, is said to be making a drive
for assistant chief clerk of the SEN

ty third chair by the bay window
inclined them to caution in speech,
lest memcgy strike them suddenly
deep and unawares, and their voic-
es betray their mems hearts to
each other-which is not an incli-
nation between men,
Cleland Senior glanced involun-
tarily from the empty chair to the
table, where, as always, a fresh
flower lay beside the service plate.
No matter what the occasion, un-
der all circumstances and invaria-
bly, Meachem laid a fresh blossom
of some sort beside the place which
nobody used.
Cleland Senior gazed at the
frail cluster Of frisia in silence.
Through the second floor hall
way landing, in the library be-
yond, the boy could see his suit
case, and, lying against it, his
hockey stick. Cleland Seniors pre-
occupied glance also, at intervals,
reverted to these two significant
objects. Presently he got up and
followed in silence by Cleland Jun
ior.
There was very tall clock in
that room, which had been made
by one of the Willards many years
before the elder Clelands birth;
but it licked now as aggressively
and bumptiously as though it were
brand new.
The father wandered about for
a while, perhaps with the vague
idea of finding a match for his Ell

Yes, dear - yes, old chap?'-
with forced carelessness which de-
ceived neither.

ready"

all alone here!" broke out the boy
impulsively.
1t was moment of painful ten
sion.
Cleland Senior did not reply; and
the boy, conscious of the emotion
which his voice had betrayed, and
suddenly shy about it, turned his
head and gazed out into the back
yard.
Father and son still wore mourn
ing; the black garments made the
boys fair hair and skin seem fairer
than they really were--as fair as
his dead mothers.

| An average New York house or
a side street in winter is a dark
affair; daylight comes reluctantly
and late into the city; the south
side of a street catches the first
winter sun rays when there are
any; the north side remains shad-
owy and chilly.
Cleland Seniors old-fashioned
house stood on the north side of
80th street; and on the last morn
ing of Cleland Juniors Christmas
vacation, while the first bars of
sunshine fell across the brown
stone facades on the opposite side
of the street, the Clelands' break
fast room still remained dim, bath
ed in the silvery gray dusk of the
morning.
Father and son had finished
breakfast, but Cleland Senior,
whose other names were John and
william, had not yet lighted the
cigar which he held between
thumb and forefinger and contem-
plated in portentouS silence. Nor
had he opened the morning paper
to read paragraphs of interest to
Cleland Junior, comment upon
them, and encourage discussion, as
was his wont when his son hap
pened to be home from school.
The house was one of those 20
foot brown stone houses-archi-
tecturally featureless-which was
all there was to New York archi-
lecture so years ago.
But John William Cleland's dead
wife had managed to make a gem
of the interior, and the breakfast
room on the second floor front,
once his wife's bedroom, was
with it's lovely early AM
erican furniture and silver, and its
mellow, old-time prints in color
Cleland Junior continued to look
rather soberly at the familiar pic
lures, now, as he sat in silence op-
posite his father, his heart of a
boy oppressed by the approaching
parting.
$50 you think you'll make writ
ing a profession, Jim 2" repeated
John Cleland, not removing his
eyes from the cigar he was turn
ing over and over.
"Yes, father"
"All right. Then a general edu-
cation is the thing and Harvard
the place - unless you prefer an
other university
THE fellows are going to Har-
ward - most of Them" said the
boy.
"A boy usually desires to go
where his school friends go. :.
It's all right, jim"
Cleland Juniors fresh, smooth
face of school boy had been
slowly growing more and more SOL
mn. Sometimes he looked at the
'rints on the wall; sometimes he
danced across the table at his IA

him again.
Never fear! If he fails us Wen

"a savage frown.

What 1 would like to ask vol
| young people today is: How many
of you have devoted yourselves to
the like adventure? How many OF
you will volunteer to carry these
spiritual messages of liberty to the
world? How many of you will
forego anything except your al
legiance to that which is just and
that which is right?'
A Day of Infinite Hope.
Two days later, on October 27
President Wilson delivered a short
address before the Southern Com
mercial congress at Mobile, one OBJ
ject of which was to promote
American trade with the Latin
American states. The following
are noble sentences with which
that short address concludes:
do not think, therefore, gentle
men, that the questions of the day
are mere questions of policy and
diplomacy. They are shot through
with the principles of life. We
dare not turn from the principle
that morality and not expediency
is the thing that must guide us,
and that we will never condone
iniquity because it is most conven-
lent to do so.
ut seems to me that this is a
day of infinite hope, of confidence
in a future greater than the past
has been; for | am fain to believe
that, in spite of all the things that
we wish to correct, the nineteenth
century that now lies behind us
has brought us a long stage toward
the time when, slowly ascending
the tedious climb that leads to the
final uplands, we shall get our ulti-
mate view of the duties of man,
kind"
These two addresses of October
25 and 27, 1913 - one to college |
youth and the other to southern
business men - express strong ex-
oectation of good for humanity |
soon to come, and invite the listen

Until the day the baby came.
And now we could not get along
Without their laughter and theii

Joy is not bottled on a shelf,

And Benjamin grinned horribly.
Freddie Firefly shuddered. 1t
seemed to him that he had never
passed such a dreadful night be-
fore. But Benjamin Bat was hav-
ing the time of his life. He SAID
that he hoped the Short-horns
would like Pleasant Valley SO well
that they would decide to stay
right there for the rest of their
days. But, strange to say, BenJa-
min made things as unpleasant as
possible for the newcomers. He
ate as many of them as he could,
remarking that from such horde
a few would scarcely be missed.
