Lament Of a Little Girl.

My brother viii, he used to be
The incest kind of girl,
He wore little dress like me
And had his hair in curl.
We p aged with dolls and tea sets then
And every kind of toy.
But all those good old times are gone,
VIII turned into boy.
Mamma has made him little suits,
With pockets in the pants.
And cut off all his yellow curls
And sent them to my aunts,
And VIII. he was so pleased. believe
He almost jumped with Joy,
But must own l didn't like
VIII turned into boy.
And now he plays with horrid tops
don't know how to spin,
And marbles that try to shoot.
But never hit or win,
And lespfrog-I can't give "bsck"
Like Charley. Frank or Roy,
Oh, no one knows how bad feel
Since VIII has turned boy.
have to wear frocks just the same,
Aud now they're mostly white.
i have to sit and Just be good
While Will can climb and fight.
But must keep my dresses nice
And wear my hair in curl,
And worse--oh. wors est thing Of all
have to stay a girl!

CDR" Watson Gave Leg dali.

Marshal Richard Ashby of Bruins.
wick had an exciting experience al
Moberly, Tuesday of last week, with
"Dr." H. w. Watson. COL, whom he
had -eanhIred at Paris Mnproe county,
and was taking back sol Brunswick
to answer a charge of having Obtained
money under false pretenses from a
colored denizen of Brunswick named
Morehead.
While Officer Ashby was changing
cars at Moberly to convey his prison.
er to Brunswick, "Dr." Watson took
to his heels and made good his escape.
Mr.. Ashby shot at his fleeing form five
times, but neither of the shots took effect.
"Dr." Watson came to Brunswick a
few weeks ago and represented him.
self to be an M. D., and at once en-.
tered upon the practice of his profes.
sion among the representatives of his
race at that place. He was called to
to see Mrs. Morehead, and after
making an examination he told her
husband that an operation would have
to be performed, and induced More
head to produce several dollars of his
hard-earned cash to pay for the "nec.
essary operation" But the operation
was never performed, and .'Dr." Wat
son subsequently left Brunswick for
other fields, and his arrest at Paris
followed with the result already given.
Others of Brunswick's colored citi.
zens besides Morehead are also said
to have been uctimized through "Dr."
Watscn's wicked wiles, and their tears,
too, are mingled with:those of More
head over misplaced confidence in the
dusky doctor, who wore good clothes
and pair OF gold-rimmed spectacles,
looked wiser than an owl and could
out-talk woman's sewing society.

The Anderson Case Dismissed.

Two weeks ago the COURIER gave
an account of the arrest of VIM. !.
Anderson of Musselfork township up
on a warrant sworn out before Squire
R. P. Chapman by Miss Ema L.
Prather, charging Mr.. Anderson with
assault with intent to commit a rape
upon her at his home on the night of
the 10Th of January, 1898.
Squire Clarkson set the case for
trial, Wednesday, Feb. and, but when
the prosecuting attorney failed to put
In an appearance on that day to rep
resent the state in prosecuting the de-
fendant, and the additional fact that
fun investigation of the merits of the
case led Squire Clarkson to believe
that Mr.. Anderson had been wrong
fully accused, further proceedings we're
dismissed and the defendant dis
charged.
VIM. ]. Anderson has always borne
a good name in every community in
which he ever lived, andve are glad
to learn that he has established his M
nocence of the serious charge made
against him by Miss Prather.
Squire Clarkson informs us that the
entire community join in exonerating
Mr.. Anderson from the accusation
brought against him by Miss Prather,
as he has lived a Christian life in
that vicinity for many years.
We hope that Mr.. Anderson may /,
see his way clear to prosecute his
traducers, and that the punishment
they deserve will be dealt out to them
with lavish hand.

i could see l would suppose that he
put the rope around his neck himself.
His face was pale; there was no sign
of life about him. saw him last night
about halfpast 6 O'Clock. Ihad some
conversation with him yesterday even
ing. He seemed as near in his usual
mind as / ever saw him. Isknow of no
reason why he should have committed
suicide. i assisted in taking the body
down. did not see any marks of
violence on him, only that he had tied
his hands together. His hands were
tied behind him. There was only one
way by which he could have tied his
hands behind him, and that was to tie
one hand and tie a running moose and
then slip the other in this behind him.
His hands were tied with binder twine.
There was a ladder by which he could
60 up to window in the top of the
barn. aud 1 suppose this is the way
he got up, as there was mud on the
ladder"
After viewing the body of the de-

monv, the jury returned the following
verdict:
THE VERDICT.
Deceased came to his death by
hanging, with suicidal intention"
Walter G. Houston, the suicide, is
a man who has always. stood high in
the community in which he lived, and
his untimely and tragic taking off is
severe blow to his family and rela-
tives, all of whom lave the deepest
sympathy of their neighbors and
friends.

Work Becomes Moro Interesting Is Time
Progresses.
The afternoon session OF the normal
institute, yesterday, was very interesting
to teachers and visitors. The second
lesson in the Speer method of arithmetic
enlisted the keen interest of all, Miss
Jordan, in presenting the method, was
enabled to show its merits much more
clearly by the use of certain solids and
charts which had arrived too late for the
former lesson.
The subjects OF school law and school
management are of interest to all the
teachers. in whatever grade of work.
Mr.. Shook elaborates upon some OF the
more technical points OF the law and then
invites questions and discussion.
Prof. De Long began unfolding the
subject of school management by dis.
cussion Of the conduct of the recitation,
leaving the matter Of school government
for later treatment. In considering the
recitation, three topics were discussed,
namely, the assignment of the lesson,
the object to be attained, and the method
of attaining that object. Then he made
classification OF the more important
things which must receive attention un.
der these respective topics.
The morning session. today. was OPEN
ed with music and very helpful t-lk
by Prof. Callahan. The regular routine
of work followed. The discussion and
presentation Of childrens stories by Miss
Teft and the lesson in stocks and bonds
by Prof. De Long were especially inter.
esting.
1t was announced by the conductor
that an excursion to Mont Alto and

Al. w. Callahan, Phi. D., head master

Colorado. Mr.. Callahan called at this
Office, and we found him an affable and

the composite qualities essential in the
instructor. He said that while he was
visiting the various towns in the interest
of the preparatory school of the uni.
versity, he did not wish t. interfere with
the work of the local schools. 1t was
for this reason that he deferred an in.
tended visit to Brush. He said that all
schools should be encouraged to better.
ment, and where possible the higher
grades should be added. Altogether his
conversation proved that he had higher
education. generally at heart; that he
was interested in the intellectual ad'
vancement of everyone. and he was en-
tirely free from that advance.agent.
none better air 20 frequently met with.
