The ChiId,s Mind.

. "It's great pity" somebody says, 'to
see so many people without children to
educate them" And we may add with
justice that more's the pity that those
having children solidly refuse to be edu.

A Mouse Catching Files.

In Cambridge one Sunday afternoon
many people were much amused by the
conduct of a mouse which for the time
being was the landlord of a show win
dow in Poplar street. The little fellow
made fort of the platform at the bot
tom of the window and used set of
holes around the edges of the window
and just beneath the platform as sally
ports, from which he issued and caught
flies, the most of which he seemed to be
storing away, but some of which he ate
on the spot.-Baltimore Sun.

Cover For Bag.

If you have plain rubber hot water
bag, and this seems to be the kind most
common, you will do well to have a cro-
cheted cover at hand to slip over it in
case the rubber is disagreeable and un.
pleasant to the touch.
Use rather fine, soft cotton and shape
1t to the bag. The upper edge is finished
with tiny scallop, just below which is
run small cord with which to draw the
bag up. You will see at glance that the
top must be as wide as the middle in or
der to slip the bag In easily. The stitch
may be plain or fancy as the crocheter
can execute.

with wondering eyes the stories which
came from Ireland of the regal magnifi-

women was dazzling the British people;
how she had become the wife Of the
brother of the Duke of Wellington and
how the court Of the newly welded pair
at Dublin castle rivaled the brilliancy of
royalty itself. She was called The Amer

married Richard Cation, poor English
gentleman Of handsome face and pres

According to the arguments ad
vanced by former citizen of Mis-
souri, Valley, the foundations of this
hamlet are i'll imminent dan
ger of toppling over into the yawn-
ing abyss of ignominity and the only
way to prevent such dire calamity
Detailing this fair city is for the ever
generous citizens to raise by vOlnn-
tary contributions the sum of $40 cash
to assist criminal in carrying his
cas-. to the supreme court.
The letter was written nv "Number
1929" who is now sojourning for per-
Tod of several months in Ft Madison
penitentlary. The former name of
the writer was Zeb V Good according
to the prison records and he was sem
fenced at recent session of the dis
trict court of Harrison County to serve
term of imprisonm. mt in the penit-
entry for obtainlng money from the
citizens OF this CITY Inv the circulation

pnrpose of defraving his expenses to
some town i'm Virginia where his wife
and child had been seriously injured.
THIS part of the story is we'll known

tally the business men who contribu-
ted.
The letter which constitutes the lat

itentiary. and is addressed to "The
honorable mayor of Missouri Valley
and your honor" Mr. 1925 commences
his, in more ways than one. touching
epistle by latent apology for writing
but excuses his act by the statement
he wishes to clear from the name of
the generous citiz" ms of Missouri Val
lley q terrible blot. The court that
sentenced him to wear the "nnmber''
wasn't no gentleman neither was the
witnesses" The only restitution now
in the power of the citizens of this
city is to send him s4Oin cash to en-
able him to carry his case to the high.
er tribunal where he is confident he
will he acquitted.
In winding up his letter 1925 grows
rather eloquent and remarks to the eff
