1t is a mistake to suppose that
children will acquire good manners
when they are as people phrase
it, sold enough" to understand
their propriety, if the observances
of good breeding are ignored OF
neglected in the first four or five
years. Mothers sometimes for
get that the active and receptive
stage of child-life in the nursery
is never surpassed at a later peroid.
The little N is taking suppression
every moment, acquiring gentle
habits or the opposite, picking up
words and sentences, surprising
his elders by the facility with
which he learns what they would
rather be should not know. In the
baby's home the foundation is
laid for the good or bad manners
of the mature man.

P o OF GRAND JURY.
Grand jury Recommends Selling of the
County Poor Farm.

To the honorable, the Circuit
Court of Montgomery county,
Missouri, sitting at Montgomery
City, May term, 1907:
We, the Grand Jury of the State
Missouri, duly empanneled,
sworn and charged to inquire with
in and for the body of the County
Montgomery, would most re-
spectfully beg leave to report to
the court, as follows, to-wit:
We have found and returned
nine indictments, which complete
all work which came before us.
We find that our prosecuting
attorney has prosecuted without
fear or favor, and this body wishes
to commend him for his faithful
and untiring efforts in maintain
ing law and order in our county.
We examined our county jail,
kept by u sheriff, George E..
Earnest and aided by his deputy,
John D. Ulrich. We found five
males and one female confined in
said jail. We found said Jail in a
neat, clean and healthy shape and
condition. Found the prisoners
clean, and found the Jail as a
whole kept clean and free from
filth and insects.
We found the prisoners we'll
cared for and well fed. We also
found that the prisoners were be-
ing treated humanely and kindly
by the sheriff.
The Jail is in good shape, with
the exception of the furnace and
floor of furnace room; and we
commend the sheriff and his de-
putty for the manner in which it is
kept.
We would further recommend
that the sheriff be allowed fifty
cents per day for keeping each
prisoner as the cost of living at
this time is much more expensive
than it has been for some years.
We find the furnace in a dan
gerous condition and unsafe. We
recommend that the county court
buy a new furnace from the fact
that the one now installed will not
heat the Jail. We would also re-
commend that the county court
put a concrete floor in what is
known as the furnace room, from
the fact that we find the earthen
flo or very damp and unhealthy.
We also recommend that the
county court install a meter
whereby the expense of lighting
the court house and Jail at Mont
gomery City may be reduced, as
we think the expense of lighting
same extravagant.
We further recommend that the
county court furnish rock where
by the prisoners confined in the
county Jail may be worked, and
said broken rock be used for the
improvement of the county roads.
We have made an investigation
of the condition at the county
of farm.
W. find the twelve inmates, with
few exceptions, we'll pleased with
their superintendent. We find the
general health of the inmates as
good as could be expected under
existing circumstances.
W. find that most of the build
ings will need repairing before
cold weather. But we recommend
that the county court sell said
county farm and buy a smaller
tract of land near some railroad
town and be more convenient, and
be improved with modern build
ings for the better convenience of
the inmates.
We also visited the county seat
at Danville, and found all of the
Offices of the county officers in fair
condition, and all we'll provided
with fire proof safes.
The Grand Jury, having con-
cluded it's labors, asks to be dis
charged. j.. SLEIaHT.

of tho new four act melodramn based
upon the tragic fate of Queen Draga of
Servla, which Theodore Nrcmer has writ
ten for Selma Herman the well-known
emotional actress starring under the d.
rection of p. Fl. Sullivan and which
comes to the Biiou Theatre next week,
The play is built around, the incidents
of the Servian revolution in which Queen
Draga and her husband, the King, lost
thicr lives, having been stabbed and
thrown out OF the throne room by a
band of revolutonists. In order to OBJ
tain local color Mr. Kremer actually went
to Belgrade, the scene Of the tragedy,
mixing in with some OF the revolutions
lists and obtaining valuable information,
us well as number of arms used In the
uprising, The play gives Miss Herman
an opportunity to display her ability as
an actress and also a chance to wear
eleven magnificent gowns Mr.. Kremer
claims this TO be his very best work
having spent moro ulan two years In
building around the play. He has a
reputation as lightning dramatist, 1t
being said that he wrote 1.-THE Fatal
Wedding on only five days notice.

but there Is Of necessity much of inter-
est in a fourteen year-old girl Of to-day
who can play Juliet with success before
an American audience. This is what
Miss Maude Fealy has done, and al
though her playing of Shakespeares he
rolne was presented a few years ago, she
has done much Of value in her work
