THAT GOOD OLD PASS.


I've been reading up Cushng's Manual,
find lot of things think vital:
I find a Kansas statesman has title
To hold every R r. line annual.
also find IT is not constitutional
To change by law contract obligation;
1 A pass such a contract, its donation
Is due by right, it is not contributional.
hope the pee-pu1 will get too notional:
They too liable to raise q rumpus;
On some election days they try to bump US,
They're hard TO handle when they get emotional
But don't part with useful things unwittingly;
To give that pass up have little humor;
They've got to cut it from like a tumor,
Therefore vote as things appear most fittingly.

woman and her sister lived in a cot

pupil In the Jackson public school

the contents of a one-ounce bottle oil

is practically no hope that she can re-

The girls action was a deliberate

Anna. they declare, had been out
during the evening and did not return
TO her home until not long before
midnight. Her mother was awaiting
her arrival and upbraided her. A lively
argument ensued. during which, It is
alleged, Mrs. Dragnetu expressed her
feelings strongly against the company
in which her daughter had passed the
evening. Anna went to bed after the
rcprimand, and when school time came
she left the house as usual, and with
no outward sign that her mothers
words had left any sting.
She had gone. however, to a closet In
the house wherein Mrs. Dragnetti kept
little stock OF medicines, abstracting

she knew to be a deadly poison. II

session was nearly at an end when
Anna was seen TO take the tiny bottle

her lips. Her teacher and schoolmates
saw the action simultaneously.
Confusion reigned in the classroom

At the hospital every effort was
made to revive the unconscious child,
and the only hope held out by the
doctors is that the atrophine. which is
one of the dealiest forms Of poison
known. has lost some of its potency
from the long period during which II
was kept in the Dragnetu house.
