laughter, and magically Hotshot had
become one of them. In company
with the big woman, Carl's little
friend went into the fields making
big talk, while the other pickers
struggled along behind listening ap-
preciatively. Carl gazed a little long
ingly after him, and wished that he,
too, could so easily mix with these
simple toilers.

use of the scales, which swung from

turned to the big house, leaving Carl
in the field. 1t was about seven
thirty, and the warmth of the early
sun was grateful. In few minutes
two girls it'll half filled sacks
emerged from the field.
One of them, well built, clear
brown, and openly approving of their
new weigher, greeted him Familiarity.

Carl was a little astonished at the
freedom of the unknown girls ad-

How much cotton I got in my sack,

Carl weighed the girls sack and

Don pay her no min'," the taller
girl babe him. "She ain nothin' but

'Elmira! You stop sayin' such about
mel" Iissy cried.
Carl was weighing Elfnira's cotton,
and sensing that the two girls were
not really serious, he merely smiled
and said nothing.
Seeing that their efforts to draw
him out had failed, the girls went
laggingly back to their work, casting
glances, which were mixture OF
shyness and boldness, back over their
shoulders.
One after the other the various
pickers dragged their sacks up to the
scales to be weighed. Carl went about
his work quickly and quietly, end
feeling inadequate to the sallies with
which his new friends greeted him,
merely smiled and said little. Hot
shot was fulfilling his prophecy that
he could pick much cotton by drag
ging up two seventy-pound sacks by
ten o'clock, and by noon he had fifty
pounds more, making a total hundred
and ninety pounds. Apparently his
cotton picking prowess had caused
the large Sally to admire him, for she
came in with him each time ne
weighed, bringing her own filled sack.
"Eny man whut en- pick mo- cottnn

friends at noon. Especially a little
man"
"An' eny woman whut en- almost

Hotshot returned CALAMITY, with sly
wink in Carl's direction. Then In one
of his stage whispers he asked Sally

FIFTH PAIR OF
TWINS ARRIVES

formed his wife had given birth TO
their fifth pair.
Pride shone from his glance as
he announced, "They told us before
there were several families with
four sets Of twins. Now its cinch
we've got them beat"
Married in 1905, Mr.. and Mrs
Roger half-expected twins when
they learned their first baby was
coming. for there were twins in
both branches of the family.
They were disappointed the first
time, however, when Orren. now Is,
appeared. High hopes faded three
years later when Ellery was born
and almost disappeared two years
later when Bessie made her appear
ance.
Then hope hared again and was
rewarded with the appearance of
Clyde and Claude in 1913. Abbie
and Addie followed in 1915. and
Floyd and Lloyd came in 1920.
Said Andrew to his wife as she
fed the latest arrivals:
II told you so. There's twins and
twins on both sides. Thereu be

Jeanette showed up and the par

SALADS are more and more Q part
of the ordinary American dietary.
Perhaps We haven't reached the degree
Of salad eating that some Europeans
have. In an Armenian restaurant in
any OF the larger cities here you might
see how the people o.. that part of the
world eat salad. They have whole
head set before them-well washed and
crisp. They break off two or three
leaves at time, wrap about them a
piece OF their almost paper-thin bread,
dip the ends of the leaves in sour
milk-and fall to munching like a
rabbit. The whole lettuce disappears
with surprising rapidity and, of course.

It seems that some people find 1t
hard to get firm mental grasp on the
reality of the world in which they find
themselves. In order to stabilize their
thoughts, they attach weird values and
fears to things and persons. AT least,
1t seems so to the so-called normal peo-
pie. The term 'fixation" is used now
adays to describe these common but
weird mental attitudes.
Some people, for example, have fixa-
tons for germs. They fear that con-
tamination and disease are lurking Just
around the corner. They suffer from
what is known as bacillophobia, or fear
Of germs.
Among children especially the reality
OF an charging knowledge of things
and persons Is q source of constant be-
wilderment. Most of this bewilderment,
OF course, never comes to light. Chill
dren cherish more secrets than the
average adult can ever suspect.
But now and then you find them
carefully keeping tab on the very pave
ment stones, houses, trees and the like,
which mean little or nothing to their
parents. Search your own stock of
early memories and you will find that
it's the insignificant fixations of early
life that you now recall, such as avoid
ing stepping on the cracks in a side
walk, hitting every post you pass, ex-
aiming piece Of paper on the street,
and so forth.
FtxationS normally mean a process of
connecting one experience with another.
There Is nothing abnormal about them
until they become so absorbing as to
narrow your powers of observation.

Last Hours of Great Fighters
Failure Accept Strangers Warning Cost Caeser His Life
BY J. r. GLASS
BY J. p. GLASS.

On the evening of the 14th of March
Caesar supped at the house Of his friend
Lepidus.
The conversation turned on death and
the kind of death most desirable,
Caesar. who was signing some papers,
while the others talked, looked up and
said: "A sudden one"
That night his wife, Calpurnia,
dreamed that he was murdered and
that she saw him ascending into heaven
to be received by the hand of God. In
the morning she begged him not to
attend the Senate that day. AS he was
not feeling well, he assented.
The great conqueror was King OF
Rome in fact If not in name. He did
not desire the name. He understood
the Roman people. They believed in
the republic, even though it was only
a Fiction. They did not resent Caesar,
the dictator; King Caesar they would
hate.
The Senate would have liked to trap
him into calling himself monarch. They
offered to make him king. He declined
the snare.
1t had been the same when his
friends in the army, who sincerely de-
sired him to be crowned, had caused
the mob in the streets to salute him as
king.
Nay" he said, II am not King, but
Caesar"
Having failed to destroy Caesar by
bringing odium upon him, the senatorial
party, moved by ambition for them
selves and hatred of the conqueror, re-
solved to kill him. They justified the
murder by pleas of patriotism, saying he
would doom the republic.
On the 18th of March the Senate was
filled. The conspirators were in their
places with daggers ready, for the day
had been set for Caesars death. When

Flower Prints for Appliques

The clever home dressmaker can make

dresses, scarfs and blouSes for her Sum-
mer wardrobe. A clever French dress
we saw the other day was made of crepe
de chine with q rather large flower
printed design. The little jacket that
went with the dress was made of solid
toned georgette, with one large flower
cut from the georgette used as an ap-
plique design on the left side of the
Jacket.
Sometimes the flowers are cut out and
applied to the same material. A little
shoulder cape may be edged with q
succession of cut-out flowers forming an
irregular scalloped edge for the cape.
