the Thoughts of Youth Are Long,
Long Thoughts.
The boy at our house was Just an
average, ubiquitous and irrepressible
little animal-mOrally well disposed in
the main but inheriting on his pater-
nal side. his full quota Of original per
versity and a predisposition to look for
trouble whenever there happened to be
none lying around handy. And he kept
US busy. Probably that was what he
was for, but-we had time.
one day he came home from kinder
garten in a dreadfully demoralized con-
dition. His Tam q Shanter had been
trOdden under foot, and his once natty
little lunch-bOx was a battered wreck.
He was muddy. His clothes were mud
der His umbrella was covered with
mud But he brought ii all into the
house:
Il met a big boy" he burst out. NE
was big feller-awful big He grabbed
me and my basket dropped into the
ditch, but hung to the parasol. Then
when he pulled me round | got big
stone off the street, an said, Le' go,
you, or I'll give you this" He said,
Hit me 18th that stone an I'll cut yer
blame head Of
An then /" with a stagger at a
sneer, that ended in sort of a sob Il
hit him with the stone, an'-he didn't

Subsequently he received strict orders
from his mother to stay off the street
during the afternoon. 1t seems that his

elders for an hour later he was found
playing with a small companion on the
Curbstone. He was hustled into the
house.
Didn't you distinctly understand
that | forbade you 10 go on the
street," demanded his mother.
He dug his toes into the rug and
squirmed: "Y-e-s, but-yOu say so
very much-how was l to know" he
argued
Another afternoon he appeared in
tears straight from school, and sat in
a corner and muttered to himself.
When dinner was called he declined to
have any. His father questioned him.
Here's how twas" said the boy.
Joe and me played marbles. Joe

His father spoke sternly, but with
withering scorn: you're a great chap,
you are, TO let Joe lick you. You're no
son Of mine If you allow an alley gam
in to get away with you. You could
whip him If you would Why don't

The boy seemed to see a great light
He Strengthened his face and ate, but
sparingly. He seemed 20 be trying to
get used TO some grim purpose. Speed
lily he slipped away from the table and
left the house. After the dinner the
family sat on the porch. Suddenly the
son and heir came around the corner
He limped, and his little blouse was a
tattered disgrace. There was blood on
his tear-streaked face, and he seemed
worn and weary. His mother sat

From the Rocky Mountain News
Is it true that the sound Of the hui

James Perchard. clerk of the state
court of appeals, is inclined to answer
the question in the affirmative. He has
for twenty years past been almost OF
the belief that a word OF farewell which
he shouted In one of the mountain
canyons cost the lives Of two persons.
