Correct You Are.
From the I.addoBia Herald.


The story sent out from Mexico
last week about parties near Wor-
cester whipping band of gypsies
was merely the wild Imagination
of some newspaper man. There
isn't q word of truth in it, and the
story will only help make the
Eastern people believe that all
Missourians are a band of Bald
Knobbers and White Caps. The
facts of the case are that two boys
belonging to a band of aovers
made rough remarks to two ladies
who were passing on horseback.
The boys were promptly given a
thrashing by their parents for their
misconduct.

HORRIBLE suFFERINGs.
Mrs. Polly COLLISION, of Shamrock,
Victim of Vaccine Virus
Poison.

Mrs. Polly Collision, of near
Shamrock, Galloway county, is not
expected to live, as a result of care
lessness in handling vaccine virus.
Mrs. Collision procured some virus
a short time since for the purpose
of vaccinating her children. While
using the contagious poison, she in
some way touched a finger end to a
small sore under her left eye. The
sore soon grew larger and became
very painful. Medical assistance
was called, but in spite of all that
could be done the irritation spread
all over the side of her face. The
eye is now eaten out and all of the
flesh on that side of the face has
sloughed off. The poor woman's
sufferings are dreadful and it is
SAID tha. she cannot live.
Mrs. Collision was once a pupil
of Joseph Williams, of this city.

Emotional Prodigality.

Something has been wisely said of
late about the danger Of over-pressure
in our schools. The time spent in
study that ought to be spcnt in out
door play or in exercise in gymnaSia
is worse than wasted. But the over
pressure Of intellectual work would
not be so bad were it not for tho emo
tional prodigality of many children
both at home and at school, Teach
ers are spurred to strain pupils to the
utmost that they may meet the conf
ing tests for promotion. The healthy
spontaneous emotions that mako it the
delight of childhood are crushed, and
FICTITIOUS emotions OF fear and dread
are substituted. At home tho emo
tional excitement is often greater than
at school. Prizes. the expectations of
parents, piano practice, company par
ties, dances, petting, and reproofs arc
the stimuli, eliminating often in late
hours spent In preparing half dozen
lessons for the next day. The tasks
at school, hard rs they are, often arc
less injurious to children than tho
emotional dissipation at home. Who
ever reyels in EN- otion and squanders
nervous energy at one period OF life
will lack the needed support for intel
leo+ual activity at another period -
