CHARLESTON, Jan 1.-two more
economy measures were dropped into
the house of delegates today, the first
by r. S. Garvin, Democrat Of Mt
Hope the other by E. w. Fighter OF
Shinnston.
Garvins resolution if passed, will
cut the soft money about the legis-
lature for committee, clerks, attaches,
synthetis reporters and minor lobby
lists about Is percent, and likely send
wall Of rage through the capitol,
where it is reliably reported that more
than a score Of clerks have obtained
leaves of absence in order to accept
positions with the legislature. In
Gaavin's scale of wages, the senate
and house clerks would receive $40
daily, assistant clerk IS, sergeants at
arms Sc, assistant sergeants at arms
SIS. committee clerks So pages 50,
Journal clerks ST, pages Sd, cloak
room attendants So.
And in addition to the foregoing
Garyirr has asked that special COM
mittee be appointed TO examine the
applications Of the job hunters.
An enlightening commentary on the
methods employed in some depart
ments Of the state house is found in
the ease with which these clerks get
off for two and three months to at
tend to the needs of the legislature.

DUCKS AM PUDDLES

"Quack, quack," said Mrs. Duck,
"how 1 do love puddles. OF course, a
pond is wonderful. and SO is a brook,
aud so is a river, and so is a lake.
@But when things have been drying
up a bit after a dry spell of weather
and a good rain comes and there are
little puddles, oh, how l do love them"
"Quack, quack," said Miss Duck, 81
love %puddles, too. Indeed I do"
"Quack, quack, quack, quack,' said
Mrs. Duck, ~ like puddles after a dry
spell and l like them In tie spring
time. In the springtime 1t is SO nice
to find the puddles and put ones beak
down and feel the soft earth. The
frost comes out of the earth then, and
we can dig into the earth for some
~delicacies. Oh, quack, quack, that Is
pleasant"
And L remember" said young Mr..
Drake, 'how you all followed me along
on the Duck Cross-Country stroll we
had this spring. To be sure we didn't
go so very far, but we had a nice walk,
and we found many a nice puddle and
many a nice thing to eat.
"And how you all did quack-quack,
and how you all did follow me and
waddle along after me, stopping to
eat and stopping to drink and stopping
to see what the soft earth had In 1t
and what the little ponds had in them.
But there was almost more rejoicing
over the puddles than over anything
else"
"Quack, quack," said Mrs. Duck,
"you are most certainly right. l think
I shall give a party and invite all the
ducks to come and each Of us will tell
the story of the incest puddle ever
seen.
81 think it would be fun to have a
splendid duck pond dinner and then
we could all float about and each tell
a puddle story"

Miss Duck.
