A miserable imposter is said to
be travelling the country selling a
recipe for taking off warts, when
everybody knows that the one way
to remove warts is to rub it with a
potato, while afterward it is Luried
by nigger in the northeast corner
of a graveyard at midnight, in the
dark of the moon. AS the potato
decays the wart will disappear.
Principal Ferris arrived here
from Ohio, this week, and took
immediate charge of the La Jara
public schools. The new instruct
or makes his debut as a student
from the class room, and thus is in
a position to give the school at
tendance at this place, the benefit
of modern teaching. Our school
has, through unfortunate cir
cumstances, been running in hap
hazard way since the beginning OF
the term, much to the detriment
of the entire school and all 9th
ers concerned; but that has passed
now, and work has begun in ear
nest. There is one thing, however,
which should be considered well
by parents and that is to not en-
courage, but rather prohibit the
idle gossip and fault finding
of children as regards the teacher.
Children at their best, are not per-
feet; their home behavior proves
this statement; and those who
have reached the smart Alex"
age have such an overflow of know
ledge that it is impossible to teach
them anything. Running up
against an aggregation of this
kind is not the most pleasant
thing in the world, and, if at
times, your child comes home
at outs with his teacher you may
be sure that the latter is not alto
gether to blame. In short, if
you have any sympathy in the
matter, give it to the teacher; there
is where it will result in the most
good.

Noticing recently couple of
small boys carrying loaded gun,
there came the thought that a
grave responsibility is assumed by
parents who intrust firearms to
sons who have not reached the age
of maturity or prudence. Were a
little more vigilant supervision
exercised in this respect there
would be less of sadness and
mourning to be endured as the
consequence of foolishness and
carelessness on the part of boys
with guns.
We fancy that no right-thinking
person would complacently regard
the total abolition of the pleasant
custom of gift-making at Christ
mas. Rightly observed, the Gus
tom truly typifies the best spirit
of the holiday season. The abuse
of it has been greater, we believe,
in the past than it is now. The
Christmas card or the holiday
book, preferably pretty edition
of an acknowledged master work,
has come to be an accepted sub
stitrte for more expensive gifts
between friends" The habit of
promiscuous gift-making was al
ways pernicious, and anybody
who makes gifts he cannot afford,
is foolish the whole year round,
and not especially a Christmas
fool. Some good and energetic
women in Chicago have formed
society to abolish Christmas gifts.
The society is doomed to failure.
