That Settled the Officer,

Recently a 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 IL 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?'

would want to get as much education
as possible before taking the respon-
