tiTTTEXLf roily Tlcian asked en-
V thualaaUcally aa she clambered
onto a high atool bestda where T. Paer
" Inhaling a bowl of clam chowder,
"what do you think about it now?"
"It's got a lot more ht In It than
It haa clams." T. Paer answered crossly
after bo had coolod a chunk of potato
with a rulp of water. "Blamed If I can
ao what they call thia stuff clam chow
der for whan It ain't never saw a clam."
"Why don't you try corned beef?"
Tolly grinned, "they cot to put a little
something solid In that."
They aura do." T. Paor retorted.
"Tou ean't even cut the fat"
Touve not a rrouch." Polly suir
gestad, "atop aaldlng your tongue and
answer my question."
"What question ?" T. - Paer asked tes
tily. "I did answer It"
"No. you dld nt." Polly denied. "I'm
talk Ins; about the special session."
"Whera'd you a-ft that stuff." T. Paer
asked ; "who said special aeswlonr
"The voters." Polly assured him.
Thay whooped t up for the fair last
Saturday didn't they 7"
Tea." T. Paer answered, "bat what's
that got to do with ltT"
"Where's your bean?" Polly asked
aareaaUcally, "We've got t& have one
now to put this fair business up to
the whole state."
"I know that T. Paer admitted, "but
that ain't what you're wantin' one for
IS ItT"
rrn, -ony answerea aiowly, "as
long aa we've rot to have It there's a
few other things that ought to be at
tended to. ain't there?"
Too tell me." T. Paer answered.
"Every time I think of a legislature I
get a headache."
"we'll have to fix this Jitney law
for one thing. "Polly suggested, "and
then there a a whole lot of business
mat s coming no."
"Who wanta It doner T. Paer asked
"They's too blamed many laws now."
"I-ain't going to denv that" Poiiv
ceded, "but a lot of them need fixing up
nam una mere.
Aiayoe may do, maybe they do," T.
rar mused, "but every time I hear
anybody talking' that way It reminds
ma of what Tom McBride told me one
ume.
"Tom's rot a pretty good noodle,
Tolly admitted. "What'd he say?"
-iie aaia." T. Taer related, "that If
may a repeal Uuj constitution 'nd all the
laws 'nd Just have the Golden Rule 'nd
the Ten Commandments 'nd let the su
preme court enforce 'era it'd br ail the
laws we need."
"It's all right for Tom to say that,"
Polly contended. "He'i part of the au-
preme court already."
"Well," T. Paer grinned, "he a had a
chance for a long time to see what's
wrong with us, ain't her'
Maybe he has." Polly answered, "but
I bet the Bar association could pass come
ringing resolutions against Tom's
scheme."
"I won't take the bet" T. Paer chuck
led, "but Til bet you they's about 90
members of the legislature 'nd a thou
sand that'd like to be that'd be ready to
recall Tom if he talks that way too
much."
"What'd we do without Jawyers?"
Polly insisted. "And what'd we do With
out legislatures?"
"Put 'em to grubbln' stum pa "nd reduc-
in' taxes Instead of uprootin' laws 'nd
increasln' "em," T. Paer answered. "If
we had more golden rule "nd ten com
mandments we wouldn't have to pay
lawyers to learn us about torts 'nd the
statute of frauds."
"Maybe that's so,". Polly admitted, "but
what'd we do for orators on the Fourth
and times like that?"
"Well, you don't have to hi a lawyer
to holler "nd wave your arms," T. Paer
pointed out "Look at George Baker,. 'nd
General Kilfeather. "nd Citizen Parker,
'nd fellahs like that."
"That's so," Polly conceded. "They
sure can pull tail feathers out of the
eagle, but it'd sound awful silent if all
the lawyers was to quit talking at once."
"Humph!" T,. Paer chuckled. "A fel
lah'd feel like he'd gone away from a
boiler factory to spend his vacation in
the country, wouldn't he?"
"I gueps," Polly mused, "there's not
much use worrying over Tom's scheme
coming true so there's no use talking
about it"
"I guess not," T. Paer agreed. 'They's
too many fellahs want to get on the pay
roll to ever cut It out"
"All right then," Polly said. "I guess
we'll have the special session."
"I guess so." T. Paer said sadly. "But
they's one thing about a legislature that's
cheerln .
"What's that?" Polly asked.
"It s like a boll on your neck," T. Paer
told her. "You always feel bo relieved
after it's gone."

1.,. Farmer Bmwn t Boy.
JURMER BROWN H boy sat on the
bank of the Big River in a brown
study. That means that he wan think
ing very hard. Blacky the Crow eat In
the top of a tall tree a short distance
awky and watched him. Hlackey was
silent now and there wax a know-in
look In bin shrewd little eyes. In calling
.Farmer Brown's boy over there he had
done all he could and ha was quite sat
isfied to leave the matter to Farmer
Brown's boy.
"A hunter has made that blind to shoot
Black Ducka from.", though Fanner
Brown's by, "and he haa been baiting
them In here by scattering: oorn for
them. Black Ducka are febout the smart
est Ducks that fly, but tt they have been
coming in here every evening and find
ing com and no sign of danger they
probably think It perfectly safe here and
coma straight In without being at all sus
picious. Tonight- or some night soon,
that hunter will be waiting for them.
"I guess the law that permits hunting
Ducks is all right but there ought to be
a law against baiting them in. That
Isn't hunting. No, air, that isn't hunting.
If thia land waa my .father's I would
know what to do. I would put up a sign
aaylng thia waa private property and no
shooting waa allowed. But It isn't my
father's land and that hunter haa a per
fect right to shoot here. He haa Just aa
much right here as I have. I wish I
could atop htm. but I don't see how I
can."
A frown puckered the freckled face of
Farmer Brown's boy. You see, he was
thinking very hard, and when he does
that he la very apt to frown. "I suppose,"
ha muttered. "I can tear down his blind.
He wouldn't know who did It But that

wouldn't do much good ; he would build
another. Besides, It wouldn't be right
He has a perfect right to make a blind
here and having made it it la his and I
haven't any right to touch it I won't do
a thing I haven't a right to do. That
wouldn't be honest I've got to think of
Bome other way of saving those Ducks."
The frown on hla freckled face grew
deeper, and for a long time he sat with
out moving. Suddenly his face cleared
and he Jumped to his feet He began to
chuckle. "I have it!" he exclaimed. "I'll
do a little shooting myself!" Then he
chuckled again and started for home.
Presently he began to whistle, a way he
lias when he la in good spirits.
Blackey the Crow watched hird go and
Blackey was well, satisfied. He didn't
know what Farmer Brown's boy was
planning to do. but he had a feeling he
waa planning to do something and that
all would bo well. Perhaps Blackey
wouldn't have felt so sure could he have
understood what Farmer Brown's boy
said about doing a little shooting him
self. As U waa, Blackey flew off about his
own business quite satisfied that now all
would be well and he need worry no
more about those Ducks. None of the
little people of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows knew Farmer Brown's
boy better than did Blackey the Crow.
None knew better than he that Farmer
Brown's boy waa their best friend.
"It is all right now," chuckled Black
ey. "It is all right now." And as the
cheery whistle of Farmer Brown's boy
floated back to him on the Merry Little
Breezes, he repeated It: "It is all right
now."
