Too Advanced For Him.

In Chicago there is principal Of one
Of the public schools who in his college
days was considered something Of a
"shark" at Latin and at many other
studies besides. What he did not know
about physiology was hardly worth
knowing. He was "grind" and
scholarship man.
His little girl, aged six, is now a
pupil at the experimental school at the
university, where she learns many
things out of the order Of public school
education. Recently she fell and hurt
herself. Her father found her crying.
whats the matter, Noreen" he
asked.
II fell and bumped my patella," she
replied. Remember this was in Chica
90, and not in Boston.
Papa was sympathetic. Poor little
girlv he said, and proceeded with the
best intentions to examine her elbow.
Noreen broke away in disgust.
"Huh!' she snorted. Haven't you
never learned anything? I said my
patella. That isn't my elbow. My ell
bow is my great sesamoid."
Papa went for Latin dictionary.

The Benefit of Fairy Tales.

1t is very reasonable to argue that no
creation of human fancy could last as
fairy tales have lasted through no one
knows how many hundreds and thou
sands of years unless it was very good.
For that which is not good and not
sound must surely die, and only that
which is good and sound shall last
through the grinding of the ages.
So I believe that parents should fill
their children's imaginations full Of
fairy tales if they would make those
imaginations strong and healthy. AS
for that man or woman who has not
these bright and joyous things of fancy
flying like golden bees through the dim
recesses of his memory, can only say
that I think his or her parents must
have been neglectful Of the earlier
training of their child and that I am
soEry for that poor soul who has lost
so much pleasure out Of its life.-How-
ard Pyle in Book News.

where they went through the fence in
the afternoon. Before getting there
Mrs. S. saw some objects which she could
not distinguish. Mr.. S. told her that
it was Bascom and Hartzell fixing the
fence. When they got to the two men the
horse was stopped by S. who said "Boys
are you not fixing that fence a little
too soon?" Hartzell said II guess not. -
S. said are you not going to let me
through? and they said "No."
The horse then started up two or
three fence posts and then s.. stopped
and told me to hold the horse. He
jumped out as he did so on right hand
of buggy. The last she saw of S. before
she jumped he was walking to the fence
that he had taken out of his right hand
coat pocket and was half way there.
Next she saw was just as she was turn
ing around the hind wheel of the buggy,
she heard the shot and turning saw the
smoke and flash of the gun and her hus-
band with left hand on the fence wire
turning to the right, staggered two steps
then fell on hands and knees, and roll
over on his back. Hartzell had called
shalt, halt, halt, rapidly before he fred
He was about fifty feet from Stoddard
when he fired. He Immediately ad-
vanced to Stoddard holding his gun on
Stoddard, whlle Bascom did the same
with a revolver, crying at the same time
for Stoddard to hold up his hands.
Stoddard replied once, "oh, yes, but was
unable on account of his arm being
hit. Mrs. Stoddard said to Hartzell,
"Oh Leslie you have killed him." he re-
piled, II am afraid l have" Stoddard
asked to be put IN the buggy and taken
home. Mrs. s. said to them "Why did
you do this?" Hartzell said, 81 had to"
Mrs. S. said "You could have let him go
through and then went to town and had
him arrested" Hartzell replied, 81 told
him before that he could not go through y
After they had taken Stoddard away
Mrs. Stoddard took Bascom and Hart
zells team and drove to the Bascom re-
sidence.
Mrs. Stoddard was subjected to a
searching cross examination. She stated
that the revolver that Hartzell took from
Stoddard's pocket after the shooting
when he was on hands and knees, was
the one that she had given Stoddard at
his request when he started to town in
the afternoon. Mrs. s. was unable to
remember much if any threatening Ian
guage used by her husband on the way
from the house to the place of the shoot
ing. But on being read from the min
utes of the coroners inquest and the
preliminary examination she admitted
that the most of it at least must be true
though she could not remember it now.
The language was to the general effect
that he intended to 90 through the
fence at all hazards in spite of Hartzell
and Bascom. Mrs. Stoddard said she
was badly frightened at the time she
jumped from the buggy. On the road
she had demonstrated with her husband
for going where the boys were as there
was sure to be trouble. On the prelim-
mary examination she had testified that
Mr.. Stoddard had his hand on his right
hip pocket at the time he was going to-
wards fence but did not think she had

or Appeal to Supreme Court by Defense.
After being out for over twenty-four
hours the jury in the case of Attorney

the murder of Byron Stoddard brought
in verdict at 11:O5 o'clock last Friday
morning finding the defendant guilty OF
manslaughter and fixing the term of i'm
prisonmenta at five years in the state peni-
tentiary. At eleven o'clock the jury

dard with gun. The Judge informed
the jury that Hartzell had no such right.
The jury then went out and five minutes
later brought in verdict. Judge Fisk
set Friday, Feb 10, as the date for SEN
fencing Hartzell. The defendants at

Bossard g. Bossard, of Grand Forks,
will ask for new trial, and in case the
motion is denied, they will appeal the

The jury is reported as having been
generally agreed as to Hartzelrs guilt
but were divided in opinion as to the
degree of murder or manslaughter In
which their verdict should be found, the
charge of the court leavingit discretion
