The Truth: Heed it, Parents.

From the Newton Republican.
Parents should keep their eyes on their
boys and see that they are at home
nights. There is no better way in the
world to educate tough, than to allow
a boy to run over town at his own sweet
will. If he has natural inclination to
be tough and to be with tough boys, the
liberty OF the streets Will develop his
toughness with alarming rapidity. Keep
the boys at home nights, even if you
have to tie them there.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The sun is a shining today;
The larks SIRE singing so gay:
Altogether it looks as though

Still we all know
1.-The north winds will blow

Der a grange picture that was something
like this: 1.-The lawyer pleads for all;

Now, it is self evident that when the

it is only question of time. After the

spring follows winter and winter comes
again: SO we know that better times are

And one of the brightest signs IS the
EAGLE joining in the fight for the pros

of friends here amongst all but those

''all resubmissionists and all in favor of

But l candidly think things are going

comes in, "Revolutions never go back
