books aud pondered them at their
work in the fields. But who
reads books IN that way now?
Who reads them as a COW crops
grass, and gets the real good out
OF them, as she does, by raising
the cud and chewing it? Its the
chewing that does the business
in the matter of milk and cream
in both cases.
Giving everything to children,
requiring them to do nothing,
seems a likely way to et11asculate
them and instead of fitting them
to fight their way amid the COM
petitions and rival strengths of
life, as We fancy, really units
them, by denying them all exper-
fence beforehand.
1t is a bad thing for boy to
know that his father is rich.
It is an equally bad thing for
him if that father, out of mistak-
en- compassion and affection, does
everything for the boy without
requiring him to hustle, exercise
self-restraint and self denial, and
earn good share OF the privi-
leges of life.
This complaisance often and
often costs the boy an honorable
career, worthy character, and
ruins him absolutely.

FiREMEN AT MITCHELL
There Will be Great Sport for the
Volunteers for Three Days.

Mitchell will have the pleasure OF
entertaining the fremen Of the state
on June "a, rs, 26, when they will
assemble in their annual convention
and tournament. It has been several
years since the fremen have held a
tournament, and doubtless now that
they have been revived there will be
a great crowd to go to Mitchell on
the dates set aside for them.
Hesetofore there has been great
deal Of professionalism connected
with The various teams that have
been entered for the firemens' races,
but that has been entirely eliminat-
ed from the departments, so that the
irmen in the smaller towns can 90
to Mitchell and take part in the tour
nament with the full assurance that
they will have an equal show with
their local talent. This professional
ism has always had tendency to
keep out the smaller towns and the
board Of control performed wise
act when it adopted the rules that
puts every department on an equal
basis.
A very attractive program has
been arranged for the three days
that the firemen will be there. It
will include hose races, hook and
ladder races, laddermens' climbing
contests, etc, for which good prizes
are offered by the state department.
Special prizes will be given for spec
ial races, and for this $3.50 has been

THE BOY PROBLEM.
Some Methods Suggested as IL

Howard A. Burrell in the
Washington, To-, Press: Prob
ably in so per cent of cases it is
unfortunate to children if their
fathers are we'll off, or rich. It
spoils the bari4s, They early
learn that they will be taken care
of, need not exert themselves, and
ID the absence Of the spur of nec-
cessity, they haye no ambition or
gumption, and fall into idle
habits, and naturally begin to
SOW wild oats and accumulate
vices, They go in for pleasure,
not for work, and there is but one
end to that program.
The two Pullman boys were
CONSPICUOUS examples of this ten
dency. They became good for
nothing. and even worse than
that, They knew they need not
do lick of work, so they went IN
for a good tine,. cared nothing
for education or for business, had
not even the natural ambition to
step into their fathers shoes, and
ease his work-just went to the
devil across lots and the million
aire must have seen the irony Of
his millions, and wished tho,1s-
and times that such degenerates
had never been born to disgrace
him and embitter his last years.
In men Of lesser, but still of
comfortable fortune, you see the
same thing in all communities.
Boys DRIFT into evil associations,
fall into habits of intemperance,
gambling, loaferism, social evil
and the like, carefully avoiding
alllthe virtues and forming a syn
dicate of all the vices, embarKing

There is more hope Of manli-
ness in a boy who is poor, When
!, at the age of 10 or II years he
realizes that he must paddle his
own canoe, the conviction will
act like like tonic on him, firing
his ambition, setting his will firm
like a helm IN storm, girding.
up his loins like belt, and he
will amount to something. He
may overdo it; if he becomes rich
his children may be corrupted and
the pith punched out of them.
Riches do not pay.
There can hardly be a question
that we are inclined to do to much
for children. We do not throw
them enough on their own re-
sources. Coddling is always bad
for them. The more selfreliance
they have the better for them.
Pampering never makes heroic
fiber. The boy who has to shift
for himself and hustle will be
likely to become a stalwars man.
If a boy has to get his own edu-
cation by privations, self denial
and hard knocks he will appre-
c1ate 1T and it will do him some
good-vastly more good than to
the boy who has every favor
dumped onto HIM with a silver
| fork.
| 1t is doubtful if our modern
schools are not ilarming boys and
girls. The next generation may
show that we have made colos-
sal mistake in doing everything
for children and allowing them
to do nothing. A rich legacy or
lucky strike nearly always ruins
the recipient, especially if he is
young when the good fortune, so
called, comes to him. Instead of
good fortune it is really an ugly
fate. AS a rule young folks now
adays do not appreciate the
schools. They are gratuities,
and gifts are nearly always bad.
Usually a good whipping IS bet
ter than a big gift. The thing
earned does good-an education
alolg many lines goes with the
earning; but what discipline is
there in receiving a gift?
The attitude of our young peo-
pie toward education and culture
is vastly different from that of
Lincoln, Greedy and many poor
boys two generations ago, when
books were scarce and they walk
ed two miles to get one and read
the same on their backs or bellies

THE GILA MONSTER.
Not yenomOus. rs Generally Sup.
posed. But a Hard Bitter.

Little is known of this curious lizard
and probably on account of the terrible
stories told of the agonizing death strug-
giles of hunters or Indians bitten by this
deadly animal continuous war has been
waged on it, until now it is almost ex-
tinct. II is reported to be so fearfully
poisonous that its breath even is supposed
to be fatal to those inhaling it.
AS compared with the gila monster. the
rattlesnalle is considered almost harmless
by those residing in the locality inhabited
by these dreaded pests. People in a rat
tlesnake country seem to become accus-
toned to them and lose the fear borne by
the ordinary individual. despatching large
rattlers with small stick horsewhip or

People who seemingly handle a rattler
with impunity never lose their fear of the

They might be called bulldog lizards.
from the fact that like a bulldog fhev

ing their mark, and hold on to the vic
tim with death-like grip for a long time
The teeth are about one-third of an
inch in length curving backward in the

lief, there are no cavities in the teeth
nor poison glands. Frogs bitten by this
reptile have >rown no i'll effects, and

The size of the animal has been vari-
ously represented to be three feet long

largest did not exceed two feet. The In
dians will have nothing to do with the
animal. and no offer of gold irewater
or trinkets, however tempting. will in
duce them even to be made a party to the

stition dates back to the ancient tribes
that inhabited this part of the country

Closing Hour Finds the Quotations
Practically Unchanged.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The cotton mar
ket was almost stationary. bulls doing lit
tie owing to the continued large receipts
and bears holding aloof owing to the per-
sistent predictions of falling off in the
receipts within the next few days.
Large interests are still identified with
the bull side. and adhere tenaciously to
their opinion that the near future will see
4 marked decrease in the crop movement
and an important advance in prices.
And even the most confirmed bears,
while they scout the idea of this crop be-
ing small in the light of the very large
movement, are yet indisposed to take the
aggressive. At the moment it is really a
small, narrow waiting market bullsswait-

Wheat Rules Nervous and Closes
Firm Mt an Advance.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The wheat market
ruled very nervous all day with large
trade. After opening lower on further
liquidation by longs. it later rallied on
coverings by shorts, ard in sympathy with
the strength in the coarse grains. but re
newed selling on the advance caused
sharp reaction, on which the local opera
tors evidently got short, for just before
the end of the session. when they tried
to cover, they found little for sale. and
prices sharply advanced again and the
close was firm. lac higher than last night
Foreign markets were generally weak in
sympathy with our break of yesterday
Cash demand here was rather quiet but
the Southwest reported better demand
there. Seaboard reported a fairly good
business done there for export on the
early break. The movement of wheat in
the Northwest is reported light. and the
falling of in Minneapolis receipts at
tracted some attention today.
Corn-There was large and active
trade in corn today, and the market gen.
orally followed the course of wheat. and
eign markets were steady Country of
ferings were very light. while there was
decided Improvement in cash demand
and some sales reported. made today TO
go to the seaboard, presumably for ex-
port. The undertone to the market was
strong all day.
Oats-There was fairly large trade
in oats, and the market. like corn, gem
orally followed the course of wheat and
closed, May sc, July. a higher than last
night Country offerings were light. Cash
demand was rather quiet
Provisions opened very weak on heavy
receipts of hogs at all points. There was
some rally on buying by local scalpers,
but the outsiders sold heavily all day.
There was a rally at the close on jan
uary lard, but the list closed almost on
the bottom for the day. There was no
bearishness shown today, and the liquida-
tion was not helped along by any aggres-
sive selling. The fact is, the crowd is
not prepared for break, and fight it

RIGHT TO ISSUE WARRANTS.
No Provision in Code Giving Powel
to Justices of Pence.


Mr. Andrew B. Duvall, the City Solicitor,
yesterday sent to the Commissioners an
opinion upon the duties of the newly ap-
pointed justices of the peace as defined
in the code. The question was brought to
the attention CT the Board few days
ago, in q communication from Captain
Gessford, of the Police Department
AS defined by the Solicitor the ques-
tions involved are:
a. Whether the justices Of the peace
may issue warrants for the arrest of a
party returnable to the Police Court
(2) Whether the code of law for the
District of Columbia abridges the au-
thority OF the Superintendent of Police to
issue warrants under sec. 402, r. S. d. C.
Mr.. Duvall states that the laws of the
District, prior to the time that the code
went into effect provided that any jus
tice of the peace could issue warrants
returnable to the Police Court against
persons charged with crimes and Of
fences committed in the District.
No such authority, he says, is granted
these officers by the code, and he is
strongly OF the opinion that such author
ity should rest in the justices of the
peace.
With reference to the question of the
authority Of the Major and Superintendent
OF Police. Mr.. Duvall thinks that they are
precisely as they were before the code
went into operation.
