The Declaration of Independence of the
United States says that all mon are 'born
free and equal" This has often boon
questioned by deep thinkers and cogent
reasoners. How can the boy born of poor
parents. with all the advantages of educa-
tion at his call? Common sense has in fact
been without means to reply to this ques-
ton. But "a long step has recently bsen
taken by the Anaconda Standard to equal
izs the condition of the children of the rich
and poor 80 far as educational advantages
are concerned.
In the Standard Edition Encyclopedia
Britannica there cnn now be procured for
the children of every family an education
the equal OF that given by all the schools
and colleges in the land.
OF course. no boy or girl can have an ed
ucation literally given TO him; this costs
personal effort; n father may give his son
the advantages of schools or books and en-
courage him in the proper use of these OPP
~portunities, but farther than this the parent
is powerless; the child's own mental effort
must do the rest. With tho Britannica i in
the home an unlimited education is within
tho reach of every son or daughter. Even
one volume of this work contains more ex-
pert knowledge. more practical informa-
ton than the whole faculty of any college.
With this encyclopedia in your home you
have at hand, night and day, a private tu-
tor of your own, whose services are always
yours and whose intelligence is pre-emi-
nent. That tutor will give your children an
education that will make them the peers of
the sons of the rich in the race of life. The
people Of this section are fortunate in hav-
ing the remarkable Introductory offer of
the Anaconda Standard brought to their
attention,

Peter Scharrenbroioh, who went to Mime

and the shooting of the officer about q year
ago:

Don't look like him at all. Start for homo

The policeman was in a better position to

anybody else, as it was he who first saw
them in the saloon where they were arrested
by himself and another officer. Scharren-
brooch had two of the three men in charge
coming up Main street. 1t was one of the
two he had in charge who shot the officer,
