Crime of Frightening Cb,,dre,

The custom of securing the obedi-
ence Of children by telling them bug
bear stories is one which is unworthy
of civilized community, and any one
guilty of it ought to be punished in
some way which he or she will remem-
Der. 1t is the meanest, pettiest, most
cowardly kind of tyranny, and there is
no justification for it anywhere.
The imagination of little child is a
thing far more delicate and sensitive
than its body and, ON the whole, more
susceptible to permanent and serious
injury. The amount of suffering which
has been inflicted on the human race
through superstition is incalculable,
and there Is practically no superstition
which would affect a grown person
whose imagination had been untainted
by terrors of the unseen In childhood.
When a child is brought up among
people who tell weird stories Of ap-
partitions and portents, it is unusual
for it to gain perfect balance of
mind in after life.

Naming the Baby.

In the Pennsylvania hill country,
where such first names as Noah, Cain,
Ananias, Absalom, Judas, etc., are
common, clergyman who has a cir
cult in Lehigh county was called to Of
ficiate at christening. When he ar
rived at the woodman's cabin, the wife
seemed to be in charge of affairs. The
baby was in white, and a few of the
neighbors, members of the same con-
gregation, had been invited and were
seated under the trees. When the babe
was brought out by the parents, the
clergyman asked:
with what name shall christen
the child?"
Mas" promptly answered the wife.
"Nias?" repeated the minister, slight
ly bothered. where did you find such
a name"
''In the Bible" said the wife.
Il guess not" said the preacher
mildly.
"Oh, yes, it's in the Bible" coolly an
swered the wife. "Ananias is in the
Bible. This is a little boy, and we
only want to call him Mas without the
Anna."-New York Times.

When the door closed behind ''him,"
she went over to the library table,
pulled out a drawer, took from it
small calendar, sighed softly, then
marked the last day of the month. She
stared thoughtfully at the mark as
she made it and turned back the
months that had gone since the first
of the year. 1t made her think of
the year they were married. 1t was
not many years ago. She laid the cal
endar aside and fished out another
and another until that first years lay
in her hand. That made her sigh
again, for on the dates in that first
years calendar there were no pencil
marks to indicate the evening she had
spent alone. That was before baby
came, before he had become little
lion in the literary world Society had
not then taken him under culture, but
now it had. He was going to be big
lion some day, he said. She wondered
if he would regret marrying such a
spiritless little lioness. She wept dis
mally.
He used to ask her-it seemed years
ago now-tO go out with him to be
Honized. But there was the baby, so
she had refused. But babies do not
always need close attention. Nurse
could well take care of her, but now
he never asked.
She laid the little calendars face
downward. With them out of sight
she could pity him. 1t did seem hard
to write all day with a thousand
things to annoy him. He was en-
titled to his recreation-the recreation
of listening to those who could appre-
ciate his work. She felt her own in
ability to say bright things, and she
hated the heroine and the hero. She
wanted to choke them both at the end
of the first chapter and reclaim chin"
from the tangle of their two hundred
odd page existence.
And tonight she was to be alone
again. She went into the kitchen Of
the little fiat and dismissed the girl.
Then she brought the three-year-old

1t did not seem so many years ago.
Mamma, you is the princess, isn't

of tears.
The new people in the fat across the
hall were beginning to move about. The
mother listened. The child sat with
suspended forefinger. Presently they
both heard some one playing. The fin
gers rippled up and down the keys,
then struck up a march from a comic
opera. The execution was not perfect,
but the time was excellent. The moth
er's feet itched for movement. Then
the music changed to gavot, then to
a skirt dance. Suddenly it stopped.
The mother sighed. For a moment
she had been back in the old days.
The swish of gauzy skirts was in her
ears, the smeary makeup box stood be-
fore her eyes, and the old life and fun
she had known from girlhood came
back.

SO.

The child shouted with delight.
"All right. Sit here. Don't look

opened old trunks, pulled out old slip

THE day was when men Of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become SO justly famous, it's
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hest
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. CT. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Feruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor Of the Presby-
terrain church Of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth. My little boy seven
years of age had been suffering for some
time with catarrh of the lower bowels.
Other remedies had failed, but after
taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble
almost entirely disappeared. For this
special malady consider it well nigh a
specific. AS tonic for weak and worn
out people it has few or no equals

Iowa City, Dec. 10.-The net is tight
ening about the members of the sopho-
more class of the University of Iowa
ance at the recent freshmen sociable.
The sophomore class has been holding
daily heart to heart talks with Presi-
dent MacLean, and the Iowa City Plate
Glass Association offers a reward for
the discovery of the persons who We're
connected with the throwing Of the
rock which broke the plate glass of the
hotel where the sociable was held. One
sophomore has already left the city. and
a number of others are feeling shaky
about the punishment which will be
meted out to the offenders.
The sophomore class has offered to
pay for the damage caused by them
This amounts to $156.20. President
MacLean has accepted this Offer and a
class tax will be leveid and collected at
once. President MacLean has refused
to accede to the request of the sopho-
mores that the matter be dropped with
the payment of this damage, and the
matter now being taken up with the
members of the class is the discovery
of the persons responsible for the dis
turbance.
1t is possible that an outcome of the
recent disturbance will be the prohibit
ton of all class meetings and sociables.
Such a measure, directed at least,
against the scphomores and freshman
classes is now being considered. The
university authorities were caught off
their guard at the recent disturbance,
because 1t is not in line with college
traditions to disturb the freshmen
much at their sociables. When the
freshman banquet occurs the university
and all citizens are on the lookout for
such disturbances as may lead, If un-
checked, to the breaking of windows.

he desires, altho the names of Profess

conceded to him by common consent.
No one is suggested for representative.
altho 1t Is generally understood that the

third term. Our senatorial district
comprises Hancock, Cerro Gordo and

Kidder. He was "A years old, had been
a resident of that place for fifteen years
and for the past ten years had been In
the employ of the Great Western as

In regard to his death the supposition
is that he was walking along the

there was caught by train. which
struck him, throwing him into the
ditch and killing him instantly. He
was single man and was popular
with his neighbors.
