AN EASTERN exchange, in commenting upon the

Willie is degenerate, and why? Because he killed
his little sister No! No! The father Of those
children is responsible for Lena's death. He is
the degenerate little Willie. Has he not ex-
hibted wanton carelessness in leaving loaded fire.
within their reach? The father who hasn't
deeper feeling for the safety and welfare of his
children than is encompassed in the head of the
father of those children, is not only degenerate,
but guilty of that chlds death. Undoubtedly this
