Editorial Review
CREDIT DUE ADMINISTRATION

1t is gratifying to know that be-
tween the last legislature and The
governor North Dakota taxes for
the general fund will this year be
reduced over three-quarters of
million dollars. The legislative
appropriations were less than
usual, and the observation-disclosures Of
the governor in still further re-
ducing through the veto, have
made this condition possible. 1t Is
easy to increase ones expenses,
but It surely is a duece of a job to
curtail them, so considerable
credit Is due the administration for
its good wOrk.-Beach Advance.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Mister Turkey Gobbler was the
limit. He was always gadding about
somewhere or other, with his wife
and relations trailing after him,
poor things, until they were almost
dead. Even the children had to tote
along, because their nanny was
afraid to leave them at home alone.
And, oh, but he was proud of him
self.
AS Mister Dodger said to the
Twins, the peacock at the palace
wasn't in it when old Mister Gobbler
spread out his tail like a fan, and
got red in the face, and swelled him
self out like Fourth of July balloon
ready to go up.
"Why does he like to CAD about
500" asked Nancy.
Because he is vain, suppose,
and likes to show himself off,"
answered Mister Dodger, blowing a
cloud of corn-silk smoke out of his
corn-cob pipe. Then he pulled his
corn-husk hat down over his eyes
and said, "Come on, Twins. That
reminds me. heard Farmer Smith
say to Farmer Brown that if he
didn't keep his turkeys out of his
buckwheat field something dreadful
was going to happen to them"
do they tramp it DOWN." Nick
inquired.
"No, they swallow it down." nod
ded Mister Dodger. "They snip it
off with their bills and eat it. l
don't blame Farmer Smith for get
ting cross. Well, it's getting dark
now and the moon is coming up and
Mister Gadabout and his family will
be coming back to sleep on top of
the woodpile. Yes, sir, there they
come now"
The Twins looked toward the place
where Mister Dodger was pointing,
and sure enough! There was a long
dark line trailing slowly along TO-
ward the barnyard. They knew it
must be the turkeys, for nothing
else could move so slowly-except
molasses in winter time.
Pretty soon Mister, Gadabout flew
up to his roosting place, then his
wife and then his children, and then
all of his relations.
And before long they were sound
asleep.
"Now then, Nancy" said M,ste,
Dodger. Have you got q hit Of red
ribbon about your
Nancy had the very thing right in
her pocket.
WELL declare! That's lucky
said the fairyman. "Csn you tie q
bow, Nancy? ! never wss any good
at it," s
Eyes, indeed" cried the little gir
excitedly. what do you want I,
know fof?"
Because we're going to tie !,
large red bow Of ribbon right aroun1
Mister Gobbler's neck. When HI
waksns tomorrow he's going to b
the most surprised bird In Spuesly
Moo Land. i'll TIN you Why lster.'

We hear much nowadays of interior
decorators and the wonders they can
perform in Transforming old homes
or planning new ones. Sometimes,
however, l wish there were more ex-
terror decorators-talent designers
who would take the outside walls Of
some of our boX-like houses and
beauty them until they had the same
charm that often exists within those
very walls.
To be sure, many of our modern
suburban cottages and country houses
have beautiful eXteriors--quaintne
colorfulness, and decorative quail
ity; but shut your eyes and visualize
street after street full of square
structures with plain bare walls
broken only by upright windows with
undressing blinds. Now and then
the base of the house that softens it's
connection with the soil, but the clap
boarded or succeed walls rise in
blank stretches from ground to roof.
The exterior decorator would find
many charming aids to her art. She
would discover panelled trellises to
place between windows. She would
replace the old dark green shutters
with solid blinds in which a crescent
or flying bird had been cut. and she
would paint these in some soft shade
that would harmonic with the gray
of the stucco or the white of the
clapboards. She would learn to paint
roofs a dull terra Gotta. She would
attach pergolas to side walls. put lit
tie hoods over back and side doors.
hang great wall vases in empty spots
and fill these vases with hanging
vines and bright geraniums.
The list of artistic articles for ex-
teriors is, indeed, long one-win-
dow boxes. door knockers, weather
vanes. wall fountains (from which
the birds will drink and in which
they will bathe). unusual awnings,
and SO on. For succeed houses there
are decorative tiles in color, to be
set into the plaster. or plaques of
bronze engraved with the family
coat of arms. There are sun dals
for outside walls. and bird houses to
tuck beneath the caves for the
friendly wrens.
There is no house (unless it be the
over-decorated gingerbread horror of
the eighties, trimmed with wooden
lace and embroidery and covered with
an eruption of gables) that cannot be
transformed by the judicious wiles
of the exterior decorator.

The little man laughed and then,
replied, please do not worry! 1 be-
lieve that l can fool the old Witch's
magic! Now here we go!" And he
took the ladder out from under the
Magician so that the Magician hung
in the air with his whiskers tied to
the rope.
The Magician kicked and wiggled
around a little bit, for it felt funny
to find the ladder taken away from
under him, the little man said
please do not wiggle and kick so
hard. for I may snip your chin If
you move about"
Then he reached up with the large
shears and with one snip he cut
right through the long whiskers.
AS soon as the whiskers were
shipped in two, the Magician tumbled
to the ground and sat there feeling
the remaining part of his beard.

ROMANCE

Richadrd did not speak until the
front door closed behind Muir. Then
he turned to his hostess with a sad
smile.
You see what the trouble u.s." he
remarked. 1T is next to impossible
to make successful man under
stand-isn't it?"
TT seems co." the girl said regret
fully.
She did not want to admit that
Donald was at fault. Yet-she could
teal in his way of looking at the
young reformer's ideas.
DO not fancy that I am blaming
him." Rankin FASTENED to assure her.
Had I never anything but comfort
and happiness and success, I might
possibly regard life as he regards it.
But, you know, have had to deny
myself the beautiful things-so I can
sympathize with others who must
do so. Nevertheless. Muir is the kind
of man who will look well after your
affairs. Your money will be safe
with HIM"
Il know my father thought it
would-what there is of it"-she
added.
She sank into a big chair and mo-
toned him to take the one near her.
Don't you want to smoker" she
queried.
She felt very bold and modern as
she suggested this. Miss Hall had
disapproved of girls asking young
men to smoke in the house. But Miss
Hall seemed very d-fashioned now.
Yes. thanks, I will be glad to-"
Richard said. do you mind piper"
Not a Bit" she replied. But"
as an afterthought, suppose you
close the portieres into the hall, SO
that Mrs. Bates may not see the
smoke as she passes"
she can smell it," he reminded
her, laughingly.
She will think 1t is Donald
mean Mr.. Muir" she corrected her
self.
Richards eyes narrowed slightly.
Evidently her guardian did pretty
much as he pleased in her house.
Il must get some cigarettes and
keep them here in case anyone wants
to SMOKE" Winifred declared. MIR.
Muir calls them coffin tacks,' but 1
do not care if he does.'
Richard closed the portieres and
returned to his chair. Lighting his
pipe, he leaned back and drew sew
eral long breaths. Winifred watched
him through a haze of smoke. She
felt suddenly very sophisticated-like
woman of the world. Here she was
entertaining in her own drawing
room an artist, man unlike any
other man she had ever seen. And
there was nobody to object-unless,
of course. Mrs. Bates were to smell
the smoke and peer in between the
portieres.

''Wheew tho Snoopwiggy AL the
Wiggysnoop and Grinny Bear and the
Raggedys cried, your whiskers are
not growing a speck, Mister Hokus"
Il really believe you have fooled
the old Witch's magic" the Magi-
clan said to the little man, How in
the world did you do it?'
The little man laughed again as he
said, We'll Sir! Before, when you
tried to get rid of the magic whis-
kers, you cut the whiskers off of
you But l fooled the old Witch's
magic! For, instead or cutting the
whiskers from you, l cut you from
the whiskers!"
And indeed, this was true, for
there hanging from the tree was the
Magician's whiskers and they had
grown twice as long as they had
been before: but this did not bother
the Magician now, for the whiskers
were not upon his chin as they had
been before.
