STUDY AND PRACTICE
OF ENGLISH
EDITED BY SARAH B. HARRIS

The subjoined two stories by little
girl of twelve have the characteristics
of simplicity, directness and exclusive
devotion to the narrative. Little boys
love to bother little girls and the little
girls are obviously disappointed when
they go to school or return from IL un-
less they have had an encounter with
a little boy whom they regard as their
enemy. The state of opposition and
sometimes of warfare which exists in
childhood between the individuals of
opposite sexes diversifies the social life
of youth. Without IL childhood is dull.
The bad little boy, the first crisis in
whose history is related by this little
girl who was apparently one of the
little girls who lost her skipping rope
and hat-pins to the girl-hater, is
good example. But Nemesis arrived in
the shape of the new girl and the boy
fell to the level of the other boys who
had honored him for not exhibiting
evidences of softness or any sentiment
whatever Both stories bear evidences
of the power to store evanescent i'm
pressions for future use.

HIS FIRST LOVE.
Jessie Harris.

Frank Hardy who went to First
Washington School was greatly hon.
ored by all the boys of that school for
his hardheartedness. He could catch
up girls jumping rope and then have
a glorious Tug-of-war from which he
appeared victorious, his cheeks red and
his hair ruffied.
He would take hat-pins and return
them, when the owner had forgotten
they We're gone, as for balls, il you
lost one, why you'd know where to
look for it. He hated girls.
One day a new girl came to WASH
ington school She was pretty and
graceful.
All the boys stared at her, yes, even
Frank Hardy. He felt very queer
about it.
On the way home from school she
walked right i'm front of him and the
back of her bobbing curls seemed to
say, Come. walk with me-"
He wanted to go right up to her and
say something. He started but soon
stopped for what would he say?
That afternoon he was playing in
one of his favorite haunts when the
shadow of a large hat told him he was
not alone. He looked up. There was
the new girl. You took my rope"
she said, Il want it." He stammered

THE COURIER
The Police Judge and His Tribulation.


Not even a fourth-class postmaster
in rural community encounters the
trials of a police judge in the city of
Lincoln.
In the first place, If such an official
does not have a small regiment of
friends he cannot be elected. After the
election some of them can not be made
to understand that there Is a radical
difference between the ordinary course
of friendship and the devious paths of
law and precedent. For all offenders
must be treated alike. This sometimes
makes the acquaintances Of the police
Judge look askance and think he is a
heartless migrate.
OF course the number of small poll
ticians who think they have a pull are
countless. Some denizen of the 'steenth
ward gets pulled for excessive and ex-
hilirated conviviality. He is arrested.
He telephones for the politician. The
latter arrives on the scene. Be it day
or night, Sabbath or holiday, the po-
lice judge is hunted up no matter where
he may be. Generally a bond has to
be given. Sometimes the politician re-
fuses and tries to talk the case out of
the judges mind. Then the latter. must
"call" him.
Holidays are prolonged periods of an
noyance. Friends of imprisoned parties
troop up all day long between the
hours of 3 and o'clock. All this comes
in to vary the anything but pleasurable
routine of court work where the walls
of small offenders against the ordi-
nances of the municipality arise in
monotonous chorus.
If man gets fined he generally
kicks. If he doesn't meet with a sem
tence the other fellow kicks. 1t is only
the perpetual rounder that views the
court merely as a bad piece of ill luck.
Getting the judge up is one of the
most annoying things in connection
with the duties of the Office. A gang of
frisky sports are brought in by the
police. They imagine that the disgrace
of the whole thing lies in the fact of
being locked up. OF course there is
rest and fine. Acting on this strange
theory they call the police Judge up by
telephone and ask him to come to the
station and hold a special session of
the court He must dress, come to the
station and while away an hour in fix
ing up things or else the gang will
curse him loudly and deeply forever
after.
They never imagine that the Illicit
doings of the gang has anything to do
with their plight. 1t is always the po-
lice judge who is blamed for not being

A WET STORY.
By Jessie Harris.

We were spending the day i'm Hast
ings on the Mississippi.
George had on a new suit, very up
to-date.
We have a dog. The pet of the
household. He is a fine, white, pedi-
greed bull terrier, a little fat, but
quick.
We were standing on the banks of
the Mississippi when George remarked
smartly Il better throw the dog in.
20, no." said we. But already the dog
was being carried out on the swift cur
rent of the Mississippi.
Every one who has seen or been on
the strength of the current.
Imagine a dog who had never so
much as smelled a pond being given
his first swimming lesson in the Mis-
sissippi River.
He was going down and out SO rap
idly that we all forgot our senses. Sis

ing for help. George ran along the
shore ealing to Topper and Topper
tried to come in but couldn't. So
George in all his fine clothes, not even
stopping to take off his coat went
splashing in. He took hold of Topper's
collar and pulled him out.
Both of them looked like drowned
rats when they came out.
Georges trousers; wrapped them
selves tightly around his legs. and sent
streams of cold water into his shoes.
At every step the trouser legs tapped
up and sent more water into his shoes.
Sister dropped on the rocks and very
nearly went into histericks. Topper
came and rubbed up against us, and
then we started for the hotel.
Mama laughed, but George didn't,
for that was his only suit there and
he had to lay all day in his nightshirt
while his clothes dried in the laundry.
George will never throw another dog
into the Mississippi.

Men and women, young and old, OF

they are more conscious of overtaNed

When such a condition is experienced
Paine's Celery Compound affords adj

the tardy circulation. 1t strengthens
and encourages the kidneys and enables
them to filter from the blood all waste

Ellery's Royal Italian Band in .
Delightful Recital-Theater
Beautiful.

| The doors of the Odeon, which is
most beautiful in its remodeed state
We're thrown open to the public Mon
day evening. the season 1923 being
ushered in by most delightful enter
tainment, a grand concert by Ellery's
Royal Italian Band.
While the patronage was far from
being satisfactory to either the Messrs
Busby or Mr.. Ellery, there were those
in the audience who We're competent to
thoroughly enjoy the soul-inspiring
strains of the classics, and they made
up in their appreciation what the audi
ence lacked in number. Ellery's aggre-
CATION was heralded as the greatest
musical organization of it's kind in eX-
istence. and many of the critics who
heard the concert are of the opinion
that the statements bearing upon the
bands eXcellency have not been over
drawn. While perhaps Sousa and hines
both strike a more popular chord in
their concerts, the real lover of music
can get more true enjoyment out OF
productions such as given by the 1tal-
ians. Cayaliere Emilio Rivela, who is
conceded to be 1taly's most eminent
bandmaster is by far a more finished
director than either Sousa or Innes.
Especially does he seem gifted in the
matter of climaXes, which he is able to
bring out in the most inspiring manner.
Signor Rivela is the youngest cavaiere
in Italy. having been knighted two
infn 10
the badge of the order as the only dec
Grafton of his costume as director.
There is no criticism excepting of the
highest order that can be made to the
delightful program forming the eve
ning's entertainment. Each number
was the acme of perfection and of the
same high degree of excellence. Signor
Rivela gave as the opening piece a new
march of his own composition. played
here for the first time, and dedicated
"Odeon" in honor of the Marshalltown
theater. Other numbers on the pro-
gram that proved exceptionally delight
full We're the overture from William
Tell" Saint Saens' Dance Macarbe; y
Mascagnis Hymn to the Sun" from
Iris" and the grand fantasia, Car
men," Signor Setaro's harp solos were
also greatly enjoyed.
The newly remodeled Odeon is Ger
tainly thing of beauty and was the
pride of every Marshalltown person
who attended the opening. The Messrs.
Busby think that they have the finest
theater in the country of its size. and
it does not seem possible that money
could make house more beautiful
than is the new OdeOn.
Mr. Ellery and his musical organiza-
ton left the city at o'clock this morn-
ing on special train on the Central, to
make Rock Island connection at Grim
nell for Davenport. The band gives but
the two concerts in the state, and is on
its WAY to Omaha.
