He had been to the boarding school

his only child. He had parted from
her, proud to be tie parent of such a
handsome maiden, pleased with the in
nocence of budding womanhood. The
principal accompanied him to the door.
Madam he said, with deep feeling,

which you have reared my child since
she has been under your care. When

placing her in your charge"

That Settled the Officer.

Recently Duluth miniOn of the law
had occasion to visit family living
in the west end. He wanted to see
the man of the house, but, as he was
not in, he sat down and waited in the
kitchen. A young girl, apparently
about II years of age, was busying
herself kneading bread.
The officer watched the proceeding
for some time, when he remarked
Don't you go to schOol?'
"No, / stopped school some time ago.
Il should think that girl your age
would want to get as much education
as possible before taking the response
bility attending household duties"
ayes, maybe
''But why don't you go to school
them"
"WeIl," she stammered, "becausemy
husband thinks l had better stay al
home"
Then the officer looked out of the
window, and the conversation came tC
an end.-Duluth News Tribune.

Depew's Explanation Failed.

About a month ago a constituent OF
Senator Depew came to him to seek
his influence in getting an office.
"You write letter telling what you
want and l will forward it with my
Endorsement" said the senator when
he had heard the mans story.
Yesterday the man met the senator
in the Capitol lobby.
"You remember telling me to write
you a letter." he said.
"Oh, yes" was Mr.. Depew's reply,
as he cordially grasped his visitor by
the hand. LET me see. You sent me
the letter, didn't you, and if remem-
Der rightly, l Endorsed it quite
strongly"
NO said the man, II never wrote
the letter. I've been sick. Washing

your condition at once. If you are sleep

movements are slow, If you are subject

j. S. Veazey and children, since the
death of Mrs. Tcazey, last week, are liv-
ing with a family opposite the postoffice.
Last Saturday the little boy, five years
old, was playing with a pet wolf that was
in the yard back of the hospital The
boy was on the outside of the fence and
was teasing the wolf by punching it with
n stick through a crack in the fence.
Presently the wolf became so enraged
that it jumped over the fence and dash
ed after the boy, who ran for the house
The boys little sister, aged three years
had followed her brother out in the street
and the boy ran past her on to the house
The wolf, failing to catch the boy, at
tackled the little girl, biting her severely
on the back of the neck and head. Mr.
Veazey had come out TO look for the child
and got TO it about the same time the wolf
did, and but for his prompt actions the
little one would have been torn TO pieces.
As it was. the flesh and scalp were badly
torn but no serious injury inflicted. The
hospital surgeons dressed the little one 5
wounds and the wolf was dispatched.
