charged the weapon. YOnngstrom was

The West End Reading room Is a
largo building in which young people
are to be instructed by competent in
structors in moral and industrial at
tainments and where the physical sys-
tenn will be as fully developed as the
moral.
The building is supplied with a good
library oflthe solid useful order; rooms
for the teaching OF drawing. music or
whatever may be deemed useful by the
managers, and large gymnasium for
physical recreation and development.
