adopted resolution stating that
tile true intent Of the school law is
that all children living on or near
the dividing line of two counties
have the undenlable right to at
tend the public school nearest to

absence of any provision by the
school commissioners of the res
pective counties for the mainte-
nance of schools, the board in the
county in which the children reside
should pay TO the board in the
county in which the school is 10.
Gated, for each child so attending,
sum equal to the average cost OF
each pupil in the school. A rcsolu-
ton also declares that the action Of
district school trustees, who have
not taken the oath Of office, i;
binding so far as it effects third
parties, and that their actions are
valid as to the public and obligatory
upon themselves. The board o.

the life which is taken away. No

some Of the fair local talent that
we are fortunate enough to be
blessed with in this town. The
place was rather public but never
theless the entertainment was
very enjoyable. These open air
concerts will be quite an addition
to the town and will no doubt fill
the place of a band which we are
unfortunate enough not to have,

there will never be a shortage IN

TWO KINDS OF MOTHERS.

In this world there are many objection,
able people, but to me the woman who
constantly talks of her children, their
virtues and ailments, is the one who
''never would be missed" l love a
good mother. One who is careful that
her children do not go to school with
buttons off their shoes, untidy hair and
soiled fingers; one who, instead of con-
stantly threatening, does not hesitate to
punish when the need arises, and who
inspires her children with sufficient
wholesome fear, combined with love, to
insure respect.
The mother admire, says writer in
the Philadelphia Press, does not believe
it old-fashioned to teach her little folks
that children should be seen and not
heard. Neither does she mistake sauci-
ness and impertinence for "cuteness,"
and instead of encouraging forwardness,
effectually suppresses it by keeping her
children in the background.
She does not bore you for hours with
uninteresting stories of the wonderful
ability for this or the other thing which
Ethel is developing. Neither does she
imagine because Ethel recites some little
childish verses that she is an embryonic
Bernhard and cause you to observe
mentally that she is borrowing trouble
when she tells you that although it is
against her wishes, for there was never
any one in the family on the stage, she
would never interfere with such God
given talent.
But know woman who is i'll every
way opposite to the mother | admire.
She has three naughty children. Her
home is a bedlam from morning till
night, because the children have been
taught rom babyhood that their wish is
law. Everything is subservient to the
children. When you call they bring all
their playthings into the room where
you and their mother are sitting and
noisily chatter around you. Slowly
your ire rises, and you wonder the
mother does not send them away, but
there she sits, to all appearances deaf
and calmly oblivious of the pandemon-
ium under her nose. All at once it is
with guilty sense of Joy you see the
largest child strike the little one,
followed by terrific yell of rage as the
little one kicks back. Now surely their
mother will interfere, but she simply
turns her head and says languidly:
ETHEL, darling, play nicely with your
sister,
Speaking Of children-a story told me
by mother of two little twin girls is
very funny. The children were full of
mischief, and the wonderful resemblance
between them served frequently for the
subject of some prank. One night the
nurse was giving each of them a bath.
Having finished with Edith she called
Edna. About an hour later, hearing the
children laughing in bed, she entered
the room saying:
what are you children laughing
about?"
"Oh, nothing" replied Edna, "only
you have given Edith two baths and
haven't given me any"

HIS STRUGGLE WITH OPIUM.


One day realized, writes former
victim Of the opium habit, that my
word was NO longer a symbol of truth,
and the moral nature | had not quite
drowned leaped up in the dark and
called me ''liar!" to my face. Then /
awoke. and for the first time for many a
day prayed. Then also came the re-
solve, the determined resolve. come
what may, to be done with this damna-
BILE tyranny. At 6 o'clock that evening
/ took hearty meal of meat (princi-
pallyI and little very little) red wine.
1t was June 10, 1868, l had determined
to walk into the summer night, walk till
I died, if necessary, but walk till l won
my battle, if l lived through the ordeal
l left my watch at home that l might
not pawn it for opium: took no money
with me; even as left home and struck
across the downs felt the craving COM
ing on 1.-THE hour for my penultimate day
dose was at HANDY, and knew my temp
tation was with nue., and realized how
long and bitter the struggle was to be.
The craving seemed to me palpable
shape that walked beside me, presence
that outran me and lost me, and came
back to me like faithful dog that would
not lose or leave me, that l could not
leave or lose! Sometimes l sang, some
times l raved and swore, sometimes |
prayed and wept, but never once, thank
God, did my resolution falter.
Much of that night can not remem-
Der. Dim things came back to me at
times, such as fall had once, hurting
my knee. l think frightened some one
who asked me some questions, and l
believe can recollect that l myself
grew at one time full of fear-fear of
hurting myself, not others; and then /
suffered thirst-such thirst, such awful
thirst-but must have slaked it some
where, for in the morning my clothes
and necktie were all wet, and so was my
hair. At I in the morning of the next
day found myself leaning on gate
and looking out on the landscape before
with sort of curious wonder as to how
l came there; my head dropped or my
hands, slept for Il think) only few
minutes, and awoke quite well. Since
that day l have never touched it, and
have never been tempted to touch it.
OF course, / am well aware that the
doses to which had become accustomed
were not very large, but am also sure
that they were on the increase; and hay
ing told my experience lately to distin.
guished English physician, he begged
me, for the sake OF others, to put on
record these plain and simple facts
This l now do, and if l do so anony-
mously, it is only because / believe that
no further good could follow the knowl
edge of my identity or name.-Sunday
