1t is often asked why the boys
and girls do not attend school
longer. Many-by far too many
of them drop out at ten or twelve
and it is seldom that the boys at
tend after thsir fourteenth or
fifteenth year This should not
be so aud it would not be the case
if parents used the proper enoour-
agement. Because boy gets rest
less in the school room his parents
need not conclude that it is waste
of time to send him. He will do
well if encouraged and kept at it.
1t is poor economy to put q boy at
work when he ought to be in
school, unless it is necessity. Give
him the best education he can get,
and fit him to do something in the
world. Because you succeed. with
but little education. is no reason
that your son be deprived of all he
can get. Conditions have changed
in the last thirty years. 1t re-
quires more skill and training to
rise in the world than it did when
you was boy. Your son win be-
come a better mechanic, a better
farmer. as well as better business
man by having good education
Your daughter will be better
house keeper. better wife and a
better mother by having all the ad
vantages that the public schools of
our land afford. Your can afford
to stint your children on fine
clothes, fine houses and fancy food
much better than you can afford
to starve their intellects and cum-
pei them to narrow. sordid lives,
because their natures are not de
veloped You can afford to bear
extra burdens for long while in
order to fit them for the burdens
of life. They will thank you for it
in after years.

Mrs. L j. Williamson.

A Chicago policeman protected
a prisoner from lynching mob of
500 persons for half an hour until
aid came from the police station.
He simply placed himself against
wall and declared that he would
shoot anyone who came within
arms length of the prisoner. He
evidently meant what he said, and
there was no one bold enough in
the mob to invite death.

Mrs. Margaret Carroll Linehan,
widow of James Linehan, was born
in County Kerry, Ireland. March
26, 1918, died at Point Pleasant,
September 80. 1904.
She was the daughter of Johan-
ma and Jeremiah Carroll. She
came to New York when she was
20 years of age where she lived
with brothers and sisters until her
marriage to James Linehan, June
Is, 1858. After their marriage
they came to Hartford. then to
Mason City. Two sons were born
to them but died in infancy. In
March, 1886. her husband died and
until year ago she lived by her
self in her little cottage in Mason
Last fall her neice, Mrs. M. L.
Moriarty brought her to make her
home here. In July of this year
she had paralytic stroke which
affected her right side, aud was
bedfast from that time until week
ago when she had second stroke
which proved fatal.
She was true, christian, faith
full in all things; was life long

patient in all her suffering; she re
ceived the last rites of her church
and was willing to go. Burial in
st Jos eph's cemetery, Mason. Flu
neral conducted by Father Alphou:
sus, of Charleston.
We bent today over a cohined form,
Our tears fell slowly down;
We looked our last on the aged face
With its look of peace, its patient grace,
And hair like a silver crown.
We touched our own to the clay, cold hand,
From life's long labor at rest;
Among the blossoms bright and sweet,
We noticed a bunch of golden wheat
Lay close TO the silent breast.
The blossoms whispered of fadeless bloom
OF land where falls no tears
The ripe wheat told of toll and care,
The patient waiting the trusting prayer
And the garnered good of years.
We know not what work her hands has found
What rugged places her feet;
What sorrows were hers, what Joys that were
bright,
We saw but the peace the blossoms bright
And the bunch of golden wheat

To Protect American Ships.

A Washington special says: With
view to being fully prepared for any
contingency that may arise in connec-
tion with the passage of any American
department has began an exhaustive
study Of all the prccedents since the
Crimean war, in regard to the stop
page OF neutral ships by beligerents
and the exercise OF the right Of search.
All the information possible respect
ing the present actions Of the Russian
volunteer cruisers in the Red sea is
being gathered. The United States
flag Is seldom seen In that quarter OK
cept on a government vessel passing
to and from the Philippines, and OF
course there will be no interference
with such craft by either belligerent.
The state department has taken
very broad ground respecting the ex-
emption OF neutral shipping from an
nOylng interference as markedly
shown in the proclamation of Presi-
Hent Mckinley at the beginning Of the
Spanish war. The general contention
was that a neutral nag covers neu-
tral goods, and while It is admitted
here that 1t is not yet a universally ac-
cepted tenet Of international law, it
is held that 1t should be such and tho
state department has lost no oppor-
tunity to bring that to pass.
But aside from the question OF con-
traband goods and neutral ships, the
officials in Washington feel that the
action Of the Russian ships in connec-
tion with the malls is the gravest IS
sue now presented. In the famous
Trent case, where the American ad.
miral, wilkes. boarded the British
steamer Trent and carried off Mason
and Slldell. the confederate commits
sioners, the British government in its
contention, which was practically ad-
mitted by the United States in the
end, remarked that the summary re-
moval from the ship Of the commits
sioners was almost as bad as re-.
moving the mails would have been"
showing clearly what the British idea
was then as to the right TO carry of
mail
