Send Your Children to School.

Parents why don't you keep your
children in school? How many boys
and girls in this city do you suppose
there are who are not attending
school? Our institutions Of learning
are maintained at public expense.
Good teachers are provided, good
libraries are at the disposal OF the
scholars, an opportunity is given
every American child to obtain a
good common school education, at
least. Too often do parents indulge
their young offspring 10 the foolish
notion that they need no more school
ing When boy gets at that age,
where he THINKS he knows more than
his old father ever knew, is Just the
time he wants to be brought under
the severest discipline, aud this IS
when teacher and parent should CO.
operate. Again, boys and girls are
kept from school, it may be from APP
parent necessity, to earn paltry pit
lance for the general support. II
parents could realize that they are
taking away the only chance their
children have Of ever being more than
humble toilers, dependent upon their
days wages, they would make great
er sacrifice to keep their children at
school Give the average American
boy or girl common school educa-
ton, and if they do not succeed the
fault lies at their own door. This is
an age where the thinker rules the
toiler, and it remains with you which
position your offspring will occupy.

A Lone Tombstone.

The other day we were strolling
down through deserted cemetery no.
far from here and all of a sudden a
lone tombstone came up before our
eyes and we walked up TO it and read
the last parting word Of the wife as
she left the vineyard to the coyotes
and started east with her second hus-

how much we are in need of money.
Only our immediate relatives were
present and our views on the money

need more money and less prohibition,

promising young man. That is, he
has promised US to work aud paw
