LeVAY THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., MAY 23, Bert burst into the house with a | whoop of delight. He dashed out into !the.kitchen, where his mother was | making a pie for dinner, and instantly | took possession. “Say, mother!” he shouted. “I want some bread and butter and some cookles and an apple. And, say, moth- | er, when you bake the pie will you cook one in the little pie dish so I can have it soon's it's done? And, say, mother, can I have some of this ginger-bread? Gee, but I'm nearly starved.” When his wants had been partially supplied and he was towing away bread and butter, ginger-bread, apples and other trifles, he broke into a mirthful chuckle. “Say, mother}” he said, “if we didn’t | have the foxy time at school today, I got another guess comin'. Say, gee you'd ‘a’ died if you had been there i Honest, I thought I'd bust wide open. { I never thought a fellow could have | 80 much fun in school. “You see, Fred Gunkle, he's the smartest fellow in the room, I guess. At least, he knows his lessons best and he never seems to study none, too. Say, and the teacher likes him, ‘cause you can see her eyes twinkle when he cuts up, and then she turns her back a minute and when she turns around again her face is just as sol- emn, and then she scolds him, but Fred doesn't mind. He just kind of stays around after school and jollies her. I bet she like him best of any of us, but, gee, who cares? Who wants | the teacher to like you, anyway? “Well, this noon Fred he come back early and there wasn't nobody in the room when he come, and so he takes some chalk that he gets off the black- board and he rubs chalk all over the fronts of the fellows' desks, so when they sits down they'll get chalk on the front of their legs. So when they gets up, all the fellows and the girls and everybuddy, for physical culture, and begins to march around the room, every fellow had chalk on the front of his knees! And Fred had some on his, too, so the teacher wouldn't know who done it. “Gee, I thought I'd die laughin’ till the teacher's face begins to get red i and she hollers, just as mad as she can: ‘Halt!" Gee, 1 guess we all started. And everybuddy was scared. Only, of course, I wasn't scared, but lNelIle—she marches right in front of | me—gee, she was scared, and so was the other girls. “So the teacher says—and by that time she was just as pale in her face ~—she says: ‘Children,' she says, ‘T in- tend to find who is the proprietor of this outrage.’ “Then the teacher she begins and she says: ‘The girls may go to their seats and the boys may march right along in front of my desk.’ So we marched right along in front of her desk after the girls went to their seats and sat down, and every fellow had to march by himself 'way from the back of the room. Gee, when it come my tura my shoes sounded like a motoreycle or something, they made such a awful racket, putting chalk on the desks? And then when the fellow says, ‘No,’ she says, ‘Do you know who did it?” And then the fellow would say ‘No,’ because, of course, we didn't none of us know, be- cause we didn’t see Fred do it. “So it come Fred's turn after awhile | and he was the very last fellow. And so when Fred come along he didn't wait for the teacher to say a word to him. He just started right in and he says, ‘Miss Smith,’ he says, ‘I know who done it, but I don’t feel like I'd better tell, so please don't ask me.’ “Gee, I thought me and the other fellows would die, we was so full of laugh, because, of course, Fred want- ed the teacher to think he didn't like to tell on some other fellow, but we didn't dare to laugh. Of course, we dared to, but we felt so kind of fun- ny we didn't. “Miss Smith she says, ‘Well, Fred,’ she says, ‘if it's a point of honor with you not to tell, of course, I won't press the question,’ or something like that. “Then we all went back to our seats and she give us a big long spiel about how bad she felt because some one in the room had told a lie, because, you see, Fred was the only fellow that didn't say he didn't do it, and she said she was glad Fred hadn't told, be- cause she hated a tale bearer, and she hoped we'd all try to be And, say, she never tumbled that Fred { was the one that did it. And, say, she took up the whole recitation hour preachin’ at us, and so when we come out of school I thought we'd die laughin’.’ good. \ | | Bert's mother looked “That wasn't a very nice tt she sald. “It s as much as told & Bert put two cook and half a bar “Aw, [:0\‘ " he gust, “don’t you ever kave a little fun? | school Fred sta it, and I thought i ‘aause us fellow stayed out in the h { and listened.” “Every time a boy came and stood ' in front of her desk she'd ask him: ! ‘Did you have anything to do with this and, | reproachful. | 23 1914 ____———-______.——— POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR REPRESENTATIVE The friends of Mr. Eppes Tucker, Jr., desire to announce his dacy for the office of representative | of Polk county. candi- FOR COUNTY TREASURER i 1 announce my candidag for the| office of county treasurer, subject to| the action of the Democritic pri-| mary.
