keep Him BUSY.

If, instead of giving the Young
homllies on vice, and thus directine
their attention constantly to it, they
were simply kept busy at some whole
some work or play every minute, they
would be far more thoroughly helped
and clednsed than would be possible
in any other manner. Most parents
either do not realize the gravity OF
this task or are too lazy or incapable
to attend to it. For young people
work is worth all the white Ribbon
exhortations in the world, useful as
they may sometimes be. The first
duty of the rich is to be industrious
and to inculate habits of Industry in
their children. according to the Wo.
mans Home Companion. If they are
only taught to keep constantly busy
in some useful and ennobling EMPLOY
ment the chances of their evolution
into honorable men and women are a
million times increased. Awaken their
intellectual curiosity. Study with
them yourself, mothers. 1t is the
parent who is usually best fitted to
form the early habits of the child If
he will only take the trouble to do
1T. The making of collections and the
hard study of almost any branch of
natural history are likely to interest
children. The making of machines.
the intricacies of music, the manage
ment of a printing press, may be used
to busy children.

der OF his wife begun in the District
Court here Tuesday morning. Kun
KEEL is accused of using poison in ac-
comphshing tihe crime, and at one
time this community was arrayed
against him almost as unit, but with
the lapse of thine sentiment has
changed and the general opinion now
is THAT if "a conviction rs secured 1t
will only be after "a long and stubborn
fight.
The best lawyers in this section OF
Kansas are interested. Colonel John

are Kunkel's attorneys. They deserv-
eddy enjoy the reputation of being in
the front rank of criminal lawyers
and when once i'm a case contest 1T
bitterly and step by step to THE end.
This characteristic was noticeable IN
their conduct at the preliminary ex-
animation held before Justice Charl-
ton last October, and latter in demand
ing, in the District Court, the release
of their CLIENT on bail. They were
succussful and Kunkel ever since has
