Burdette Pictures the SchooIboy Bully

And the DULLES in the school. l guess
there will always be DULLES in all schools.
There were some mean ones in the kin
dergarten. The boy bully was always a
coward, of course; bit of a sneak as well,
cringing to the big boys and brutal to the
little ones. In the presence of the teach
er he was half crazed with terror, crying
out, :'What have | to do with thee?'
But the weak pupil, whom he could
handle, he mauled without mercy. 1t
was his nature to be brutal Rather than
not have anything to worry he would tor
ture hog, even though he had to live
with the animal to get at him. Robert
j. Burdette in the June Ladies' Home

road, continuing as such until that road was
merged into the Boston Il Maine control OF
late years Mr.. Strout had acted as counsel for

election of Lincoln, ever since which time he
acted with the Republican party. He acted

found that could justify the theory of an
outside explosion. The report gives the
testimony of a Spanish officer, Julio Perez.
and of the senior pilot, Francisco Aldao, both
eye witnesses of the catastrophe. They
swore that they noticed that the only ex-
plosions were in the interior OF the Maine
when she was on fire. and that there was
absolutely no disturbance on the surface of
the water in the harbor or around the Maine
that could have been caused by any exterior
cause. Much stress is laid in the publis he'd
extracts from the report upon the alleged fact
that after the catastrophe no dead fish were
found floating in the harbor. whereas when
ever wrecks have been removed with the
help Of explosions everybody has noticed
the destruction of fish, which are abundant
in the port of Havana. Much stress is also
laid upon the fact that the catastrophe did
no damage to the quays and none to the
vessels moored close to the Maine. whose
officers and crews noticed nothing that
could lead them to suppose that the disas-
ter was caused otherwise than by an acci
dent inside the American vessel.
