Auto License Reduced.

The report of the finarca committee was made interesting by its recom- menaations relative to the reduction of the automobile license. It will be remembered that at the last session of the council Dr. Thompson, repre- senting the automobile club of this city. addressed the council in behalf of this measure, assuring the council that it was unjustly discriminating acainst the automobilists of the city in making their license so much high CT than that of the other vehicle own CTS. The matter was then referred to the finance committee, and after previously considering the matter that committee recommended, Mon- day n sht. that the automobile license be reduced to s4 for single seated machines and $6 for double seated. The city attorney, on the strength of this recommendation by the commit tee. was ordered by the council to ring in an ordinance fer this purpose, effective June 1. 1906.

Tenderness.

This world needs a shower of
tenderness. We need more ten
derness in Our homes, tenderness
extended wives, husbands, and
children.
Once upon time the writer was
in a Texas city, and a small boy
about five years old was passing
down the sidewalk few steps be-
hind his father. The child in
passing a dago's peanut stand,
took a couple of peanuts. The
dago began to yell at him saying.
Pring pack my peanuts" The
father heard it. and i'll a rage he
grabbed the child and dragged
him back to the stand, and told
the boy to tell the man he had
stolen the peanuts, and that he bad
brought them back. The hid
began to scream and say, oh papa,
/ didn't mean to steal" but the
father jerked him up close to the
dago and said, 1 tell you to tell
the man you stole the peanuts"
1t looked as though the child would
go into spasms of pure fright. l
stood it as hong as could. l went
to the father and told him 1 was
ashamed of him; the idea of you
trying to make your innocent child
confess that he was a thief. He
said, Who are your" I told him
very enphatically, and while l did
so, that poor little child stole close
to my side looking up toward my
face through his tears, and he
seemed to feel that l was his true
friend. The father stood there a
speechless coward. 1 led the
scared, snubbing child away, and
bought at another place a sack of
peanuts for him. 1 stopped with
him on a corner, wins: the sneak
ing father came up, and 1 told him
to take the child 70 his mother.
The meanest thing that any pa
rent ever did was to tell his or her
child it was thief. If your child
takes something that it should not
have taken, tell it tenderly that it
is wrong to do that way Tender
instructions when it comes to
charges of this nature will do far
more good than trying to impress
the child it is thief and make it
confess it.
We are too apt to forget that we
were children once.
know a man that not a year
ago numerically whipped his nine
year old boy for telling lie. The
next day the father was ashamed
of it, and said his boy was in bed
from the effects of the whipping he
gave him for lying. l told him he
ought to repent in sackcloth and
ashes, that he had committed a |
great sin. l then asked him why /
he didn't say to his boy, Son l |

not a practice, and that it pays to /
tell the truth,

Laugh and Live Long.

1t has been aptly said that there
is not the renotest corner of the
inlet of the minute blood vessels of
the human body that does not feel
some wavelet from the commissions
occasioned by good hearty laugh
ter. The life principle of the
central man is shaken to its inner
most depths, sending new tides of
life and strength to the surface,
thus materially tending to insure
good health to the persons who
indulge therein. The blood moves
more rapidly and conveys, differ
ent impression to all the organs of
the body as it visits them on that
particular mystic journey when
the man is laughing, from that
conveyed at other times. For this
reason every good hearty laugh in
which a person INDUCES tends to
lengthen his life, conveying as it
does new and distinct stimulus to
the vital forces.

They were married in the home of

her name as Marie l.. Gamble, daugh-

the passage over the water lasting
from IL at night until in the morn

ward until he was over the Yorkshire
coast, when, seeing the breeze was
carrying him towards the North Sea,
he decided to descend. He dropped
his anchor, but, owing to the soil
being dry and hard, it did not hold.
He passed dangerously near some
farm buildings, but finally alighted
within a mile of the sea. He has
left for Paris.

New Army Bullet.

Washington Especially The Army
will shortly adopt the new bullet,
which was recently tested by several
of the target experts at the national
rifle meet at Sea Girt and found to
be satisfactory by them. Instead of
the rounded point of the present bull
let, it has long, straight, tapering
point, and also is about one-third
lighter, weighing about $50 grains.
The new bullet has greater velocity
up to 1900 yards, greater energy
up to 1,400 yards, fiatter trajectory
up to 1000 yards and a little better
accuracy up to 1000 yards. The
new bullet will require slightly diff
ferent firing chamber in the rife, but
this can be readily effected in pieces
now under manufacture, and the ne
cessary changes can be made in the
pieces now in use with but compare
lively small expense.

MURDERED IN INSANE ASYLUM.
Miss Nellie Wicks, Aged ri Years,
Was The Victim.

Newburgh, N. Y, Especially Liz
zie Halliday, a murderess, confined
in the Matteawan Hospital for Insane
Criminals, made a murderous assault
on a female attendant, Miss Nellie
Wicks, aged 81. Miss Wicks had
occasion to go into the lavatory adj
joining the ward about $50. The
Halliday woman followed her in,
knocked her down and, taking a
pair of scissors from Miss Wicks,
stabbed her in the throat. Miss Wicks
died two hours later. Lizzie Halli-
day, who is gypsy, in 1898 killed
her husband Paul, and two women,
concealing the bodies under the house
at Birmingham, little place in Sulli-
van County.
An insane fondness for Miss Wicks
and violent opposition to the nurses
impending departure from the hos
pital was the motive which prompted
Mrs. Halliday to the murder. Mrs.
Halliday had displayed a great deal
of affection for Miss Wicks and the
nurse had made her one of the most
trusted patients.
