THERE are a few In u little city
that are aware Of the number Of child
rem between 10 and IA years that are
unable to read and write their own
names. ANY number Of them can be
found lettering upon the square dur

prospect for good citizenship is indeed
small. while as thieves and social out.
casts, they are most promising. Some
OF them would be glad to attend the
grammar school and at least learn the
rudimentary parts Of an education,
but the influences at home, II it may
be called such Is not in that direction
and they are allowed to a at will.
Would it not be an excellent plan for
action to be taken toward their edu-
cation? The schools Of the city are
crowded, but there is room for anyone
who Is anxious to learn, Education is
the foundation Of good citizenship and
1t is the duty Of all to see that the
community is not allowed to become
corrupted by the evil OF illiteracy and
the public welfare endangered by
degenerates and thieves Of u own
manufacture. For by our neglect are
we not allowing dangerous element
TO grow in our midst that may some
day be of great injury to us? This is
food for thought. Charity begins at

The address Of Mr.. Henry Hellyer
Monday night at the Presbyterian
church was heard by an interested au-
dience. 1t vas a fine presentation Of
the condition Of the Russian Jew as to
his relation to the government and to
Christianity. The pathetic picture
Of the struggle a young Russian Jew
must undego In order to obtain an ed
ucation was drawn with fine effect.
The address throughout was cbarac-
terized by a spirit Of earnestness, con-
viction and power that is far out Of
the ordinary. No one could hear Mr..
Hellyer without a feeling Of sympa-
thy for him In his experiences and Of
interest in his race so oppressed in
Russia. 1t was a fine address.

Watson's Aequital Victory for Life
Insurance Companies.

A Denver paper referring to the late
Watson trial says: 1.-THE acquittal is
a great blow to the accident insurance
companies and a good-sized victory
for the life insurance companies. The
two classes Of companies have been
fighting one another tooth and nail,
the former trying to hang DR.. Watson,
so that they would not be compelled
to pay the accident policies held by
Mrs. Watson. The life insurance
companies, the other hand, fought to
save the neck Of Watson, so that they
would not have to pay for his death.
In substance the acquittal means that
the accident companies will be com.
PEELED to pay sl7, $50 accident policies
carried by Mrs. Watson. In addition,
the life insurance companies will have
to pay $4,000 carried On her life"
