then on Monday stand around the bar
room all day and at night sit around the
gambling table until IL o'clock, and lose
all his money, while his wife and chill
dren are, perhaps, at home without meat
and bread, is certainly wonderful
thing to me. But of all the strange
things, the most remarkable to me is
that woman will have no more sense than
to hook on for life to that piece of AMI
mated nature called a man.
Again, do you not think 1t surprising
that money has 80 much to do with the
conduct of men? Some people will
sell good name, sell character, sell
heaven for money. Tt has been said that
woman rules the world, but if she does,
is it not surprisingly strange that money
controls woman7 For it must be admit.

cellences which could not be perceived

But wantsd to wedge in somewhere
in this paper the thought that it is very
unusual, if not unreasonable, thing for a
teacher or anybody else to expect girl
with a light heart and light head to
write an entertaining essay without any
assistance. Again, to be more serious, it
is wonderful how much good our kind,
beneacent Father in Heaven has done
for his wayward children on earth.
GAS we warm ourselves by our fires made

ancient coal forostu and kept safely

80 fondly call our own and decorate 30
carefully, a few months ago may have
dragged boats on the canal, or waved in

strange thoughts ne gleam from the
study of science. Shakespeare conveys
the same thought when he makes Ariel

STRANGE THINGS.

Isn't it 9 strange thing that I have
thought and thought until 1 have
thought my head empty, and still can't
think how to commence this compost
tion? Iguess shall have to call Web.
ster to my assistance. Here is what he
says about strange: "Not according to
the common way, odd, unusual, irregu.
lar, causing surprise, exciting curiosity,
wonderful"
Now I do think it is strange thing, q
thing that excites at least some curiosity,
that young mnn will treat his own sis
ter with less courtesy and esteem than
he will somebody else's sister. When the
sister of his chum asks him to do her
favor he is all smiles aud tells her that
he will gladly accommodate her in any
way that he can, but if his own sister
asks favor of him the reply too often is
"I'm too tired" or ~ can't" or II have
not the time, and sometimes 81 wont"
Of course all brothers do not act in this
way, but quite number of them do, and
it is not confined only to the young men.
Why little boy FIVE years old was asked
few days ago by his sweet little sister
for some cards. He refused to give them
to her, but Immediately gave them to
another little girl, and on being asked
Why, he said he loved this other little
girl better than his sister. suppose,
therefore, that it must be some kind of
love that causes our brothers sometimes
to act 30 strangely.
But isn't this remarkable conduct no
ticeab.e in girls as we'll as boys? I do
not believe I would be perfectly correct
in saying that girls and young ladies
always treat their brothers with more
kindness and courtesy than they do other
boys and young men. They say that
human nature is the same at all times
and everywhere, and that man land wo-
man tool is fearfully and wonderfully
made. So / suppose that girls, too, will
have to come in for their share of these
strange actions toward Other girls broth

It is coming time for our people to
begin making their arrangements for
schools for net year. Do not put it off
until you have to take just any one. Sc.
lect the teacher you want and then make
your arrangements. Do not rely on the

A Novelty in Duels.

The details of one of the strangest
duels ever fought has been brought to
this city by prospector who has been in
the mountains southwest of Las Vegas.
The country is near the border line be-
tween Old and New Mexico, and the
people there are a mixture of the two
races. Two young men-an American
and Mexican-fell out over a young
woman they both loved, and the result
was that the enmity became too great to
be carried, and it was determined to end
it in duel.
The matter came about in an unusual
way, however, and it was not regular
challenge and acceptance, but while in
company of mutual friends the Mexican
taunted the American with being mem.
ber of race of towards and said the
American had no bravery. The Ameri
can, of course, disputed this aud said he
would test the Mexican's bravery if he
wished it. He would be willing to go
into dark room with the Mexican and
there decide the point. But the stipula-
tiou was that in the dark room there
should also be lot of tarantulas turned
loose. If either came out alive he was
to have the girl. If either showed the
white feather aud came out before the
death of the other or before all the taran.
tulas we're killed he should give up all
claim to the girl. The Mexican was dis.
posed to refuse, but the fear of being
looked upon as coward caused him to
accept
The room was prepared and the two
men went in. There we're at least a
dozen tarantulas in the room and also
two scorpions. The American walked
boldly into the room and took his stand,
while the Mexican followed, but was hes.
itating in his manner. The doors had
been CLOSED but a short time until the
Mexican was heard to scream out that he
was bitten and was dying. The doors
were opened and he staggered out and
fell to the floor. The American walked
out unhnrt, and then it was found that
the Mexican had not been bitten at all,
but had scratched his hand on protrud.

We hope to see the people, In arrang-
ing for schools, use business ideas. Do
not commit your children to the tuition
of just any one, but be as careful in Sc
leoting the teacher as the importance of
the work requires. See that you have
distinct understanding about the matter.
Arrange to pay the teacher at stated
times. Do no not expect him or her to
wait until the end of the school before
receiving any pay. Generally they need
the money. Pay them monthly, or half
in advance aud the remainder at the end
of the school. At least make some con-
tract as to when you are to pay, 80 they
may know what to count on. As we
stated before, do not depend on the pub.
lie funds. A good way for community
to do is to make up by subscriptions
from those who live near, enough to pay
the teacher, then let all the children In
the community attend. Put people on
their honor to contribute, and if you
cannot get it this way you need not ex-
pect it. Be determined to have good
school, it is worth many times its cost.

The closing exercises of the Belton

very creditable, and the success with
which the program of the closing exer.

to see such schools springing up all
through our County. We want better

schools at home 80 the boys and girls
can get an education sufficient for the
ordinary affairs of life without having to
leave home. Bolton appreciates this
and is building up good school. Her
people are united, and are pulling
together. This Will help greatly in pro.

THE GIFT

Life came TO me and spoke,
"A palace for thee have built
Wherein 10 take thy pleasure;
have filled it with priceless treasure;
Seven days shalt thou dwell therein,
my JOY shall be keener than sin,
Without the stain Of gilt:
Enter the door Of oakm
entered the oaken door;
within, no ray of light,
saw no golden store,
My heart stood still with fright;
10 curse life was fain.
Ihen one unseen before
Lad In my own her hand,
And SAID, Come thou and know
This Is the House Of Woe
am Lies sister, Pain"
Through many a GREATNESS way
In dark, on digging height,
She led me through the day
And into the dreadful night;
My soul was sore distressed
And wildly longed for rest
I'LL a chamber met my sight,
Far of, and hid. and still,
With diamonds all bedight
And every precious thing;
Not even a god might will
More beauty there to bring.
Then spoke Lies sister, Pain:
Here thou as a king shalt reign.
Here shalt thou take thy pleasure,
This is the priceless treasure.
The chamber Of thy delight
Through endless day and night;
Rejoice, this Is the end:
Thou hast found the heart of friend.
