Partridaes' Devotion.

Few birds are so devoted to one an
other as partridges. but like other
much less affectionate birds they seem
to get over their bereavements in re-
markably short space of time.
When a covey in September takes .
fancy to lying in particular bit of
clover or a little patch of rough grass
and thistles you may be almost sure
of finding them there at certain times
Of the day, and unless they are dis
turbed too frequently there they will
be found so long as any Of them are
left. They are devoted alike to each
other and to particular spots, but their
family fondness is only existent SO

suYING THEM A LITTLE DRINK.
City Official Hadn't Consulted the
Tastes Of His Clerks.

Some time ago, E. w. Bemis, super
tendent Of the city water works. asked
two clerks in another city department
to make some computations for him
They worked late and finished the hg-
ures to Mr.. Bemis' entire satisfaction
That's very kind Of you, boys" he
told them. "I guess will have to
buy you little drink"
They didn't mind. So the three
sailed forth from the city hall. Mr..
Bemis led the way down Superior
avenue. When he passed some of the
drink dispensaries without casting as
much as glance in their direction
the two clerks began to wonder.
He must be going to take us to the
club" whispered one to the other.
At last they entered a bedizened
spot at street intersection. Walk
ing up to the rail, Mr.. Bemis spoke
to the white-aproned attendant.

said. What flavor will you have.

Corporal punishment formerly had
. wider significance than mere whip
ping. Henry de Bracton, chief ju-
dietary of England in the reign OF
Henry ILL.,, divided corporal punish
ment into two kinds. those inflicted
with and without torture. The stocks
and the pillory would rank as corporal
punishment; also mutilations and 9TH

NEvADAvILLE SCHOOL NOTES.

School reopened Monday after a
three days vacation.
Fifty-four volumes of books suitable
for all grades of pupils, inclusive of
eighth grade pupils, have been added
to the school library. The proceeds of
the Washington's birthday program
made possible the purchase. This
amount of new reading matter will give
the boys and girls ample scope upon
variety to select books that will fasten
upon them the reading habit. The
reading habit works either for good, or
for i'll, all depends upon the sort of
reading material in the books that form
the habit. Poison the minds of the
young with trashy literature and the
results are reaped in the category of
crime either upon self or upon society.
Delmor Brown will represent the
Nevadaville schools in the declamatory
contest at Idaho Springs, April oath.

nevadaviIIe's Election.

In silent hours, while all alone
In this strange land, so far from home
A man will dream of that, and this,
Aye, cen the joys of welded bliss.
Yet all my dreams for near a week
Have centered round Old Baldy Peak
Where candidates with open hand
Electioneered to beat the band.
But now the strenuous days are past
Our men have been installed at last
And by request of quite few
I'll show them in grand review.
Our mayor, he is mighty man
The Towering pride of all the clan
And when it comes to getting votes
'Tis like reaper reaping oats.
He's caught the deer by hook and crook,
And ran three miles beside brook
In which the trout went up the falls
Like lice in roughnecks' overalls.
He has also been in every town
OF low degree and high renown
From Herchel Isle to Shanghai Post
And east and west, from coast to coast.
The trustees, too, have quite history
But as for me, tits all mystery
So will be at a swift retreat
It's up to them to STAND the treat.

1t would seem from the above facts
relative to attendance, that the pupils
from the absentee habit. A closer ac-
quaintance with facts would disclose
different deduction. 1t is true that
majority of pupils are working hard to
make their attendance record a credit
able one. Yet, there are few, far too
many in fact, who are, as it would seem,
doing their best not to give the school a
decent attendance. 1t is the parents
who are to blame for such neglect. This
would be a strong statement to make
unsupported by facts. But facts are
available to clinch every assertion set
forth in these articles. Sickness is a
valid excuse. but too many parents try
to hide behind it's cloak. Some parents
must be stupid, otherwise they could
readily see that the worst form of
cowardice is that of parents who dare
to deceive because they are not frank
enough with themselves to tell the
truth. A child that is too sick to go to
school, is too sick, (unless the ailment
has been drawn-out affair." to ramble
over the hills in search of-what nobody
knows, lest it be health-and that is a
doubtful find as most boys and girls go
after it.
Not long since the writer visited a
home where sickness was used to ex-
plain away the absences of two men,
bers of that family's school force.
Great stress was placed on the extreme
seriousness of the girls condition-her
condition was far too serious to think of
letting her go to school. However SER
ious the girls condition was, it is a
strange paradon, that this same girl,
that very evening, was sent through a
cold, chilling windstorm for can of
beer. Whenever parents think so much
of their stomachs as to so far forget
their duty to their offspring, that they
pass over the risk of injuring for life a
conditions in that home have reached
such limit of endurance, that the ad-
visibility of longer allowing such par
ents to have jurisdiction over their chill
dren should seriously be questioned.
