WHEN SCHOOL OPENS.
SOME "D0N'TS" FOR PARENTS

Do not believe all that your children
tell you about school. There was only
one George Washington, and he Ii
dead.
Do not tell the teacher that Willie
will not lie. She probably knows bet
ter.
Do not condemn the teacher with
out a fair hearing. That is accorded
to even the worst criminal. There are
usually two sides to story.
Do not send a scathing note to tbs
teacher by Nellie, the contents Of
which she knows Her aggressive look
of triumph is not soothing, and the
teacher is only human.
Do not make unfavorable comment
Epon the methods of the teacher in
the presence of your child. Send him
to carry In the wood while you are
doing so, If 1t must be done.
DO not plead lack Of time to visit the
school. There is no excuse for shirk-
nix a duty.
Do not reproach the teacher with
the fact that Tommy has not learned
a single thing the entire year" She
is not responsible for his lack of
brains.
Do not send verbal request to have
Jessie's seat changed. There is often
40 vacant seat, and one change usu-
ally means at least half a dozen.
Do not expect the teacher to man
age without friction q child whom Won
yourself have never been able to con-
Srol.
Do not insist that the teacher is
keeping your child back through spite
She will hardly risk her reputation az
an instructor to crafty a persona!
grudge, however disagreeable the chilli
may be.
Do not forget that the parent owes
4 duty to the teacher just as surely az
the teacher does to the child.-Alice

The Californian had cut loose with
his right and waded in, swinging both

Mrs. Bessie Boughton, and has left
with the remains for New York. The
Identification was made complete by
by scar upon the right ride of the
left forefnger, as well as by the hair
The mother charged that Milton
Franklin Andrews attempted to muir
der the girl by poison while on the
Pacific coast. and this convinces the
police that if they can capture An
drews they will be able to establish
a murder charge against him.
The body of Bessie Roughton was
found on Cutler mountain, south of
this city, on the afternoon of Deem
Der H. 1904, by DR.. Chamberlain and
party of friends. Death was caused
by a 3S caliber bullet being fired into
the head Every article of clothing
was removed by the murderer and the
body placed across the stump of a
tree, face downward In the effort to
prevent recognition of the body, the
murderer poured gasoline upon the
body and built a fire under the face.
But the exhaustive dental work upon
the teeth was not destroyed, and it
was this work which has led to the
Identification of the victim.
