Some of our village boys have been led
into mischief of a serious nature, but it is

those who hold the reins of government

more to elevate and inspire confidence,
than the stern rigor of the law. Boys are
the stuff men are made of and they need
careful handling. Not that we would
wink at wrong doing, but "charity suffer-
