Wouldn't steal ride Oh wagon, but

but he was paid apprentice wages. The
first month he was cheated out of S25.
Next the boss beat him out of $50, and
| heard him say to his widowed sister
(whose husband had been killed in the
workings that he would steal, beat
or do anything rather than work. This
boy was generous, sober fellow. The
holidays came on. He bad no work,
and was too proud to return to the
boss that cheated him OF his earnings;

born and bred in a child who's mother
was victim to circumstances, then
should my boy turn out thief, or girl
steal, we are to blame. ] say the whole

anyone, but sin. The man who has a
stylish wife and daughter and family
to educate is in difficulties. Everything

stances.
The school teacher who lost them
because of boys temptation AMI

ed in her hands means of livelihood

Anna Spoilers Case.

COLNILLE. Wash, Nov. 20-The
case of Anna Spellcr was the most in
teresting topic of conversation about
the courthouse here yesterday. Anna
had been abandoned by her parents
a month ago and on application to
the superior court the girl, who is
about IL years of age and a winsolne
child, was given over to the custody
of the board of county commissioners
and by them entrusted to the kindness
of John Il. Stone of Spokane, who had
designs on adopting her to become u
part of his family. Yesterday Mr.
Stone returned the child to the board
of commissioners with the information
that rather than become member Of
his home and to enjoy the privileges
of a public school education, she had
expressed desire to become a charge
of the Catholic schools, and under the
circumstances he thought the board
should take her out of his hands. A
petition was already in the hands OF
the board asking the girl to be turned
over to the Catholic mission at Good
win, near Meyers Falls, and the board
granted 1t. The girl says her friends
insisted that she should go to the mis-
sion as soon as Mr.. Stone had edu
Gated her.
