High School Items.

Lewis Rist is on the sick list this
week.
On Thursday morning of last week
Rev. Barron of the Methodist church
gave the students very interesting
scientific address.
The Delta High School Literary
Society gave very good program on
Tuesday evening after school. One of
the features of this program was the
piano duet by Miss Agnita Evans and
Charles Sanders. This duet was well
played. The other numbers on the
program were also good.
On Friday morning of last week the
students were somewhat surprised to
find smoke throughout the whole build
ing when they came to school. The
trouble was traced to the furnace
where one OF it's doors was accidently
left open. The door was closed and
the smoke soon cleared away.
Friday afternoon of last week the
school was closed on account of the
foot ball game. Delta High School
tied Colorado Springs in the hard
fought contest for the championship of
the State. The score resulted to 5
and we have the greatest reason to
believe that our team did the best
playing, and we think that we ought
to have the honors.

LAMOREUX
ENUMERATED
Comes out on top in charges
Made Against


of Racine, at Superior today, Frank
Lamoreux has been exOnerated, and
the disbarment proceedings have
fallen through. There were thirteen
charges against Mr.. Lamoreaux
covering a period of a dozen or fif-
teen years. Above five of these
charges Of unprofessional conduct,
were dismissed, while the case was
on trial. Judge Belden has evident
ly been looking up the evidence in
the others, since the adjournment OF
court. and today, he renders his fl
nal decision. Senator Sanbourn
telephones the following as gist of
the decision.
The Judge stated that the evil
demo epresented by the prosecution as
to all but three or four of the charges
filed against Mr.. Lamoreaux was
such that no explanation was neces-
sary on the part of the defendant.
That as to the three or four charges
which hs thought did require expia-
nation, the explanation of Mr.. LAM
oaeaux was entirely satisfactory,
and that he found nothing whatever
liz the conduct of the defendant
which was subject to criticism. The
Judge further stated that he would
file a written opinion in few days.

We have just been looking at the
pictures in "a prom; nent magazine OF
a dozen or more women and their
dogs only two of whom (the women)
own in public print to being mothers
and only two are married, There's
one woman we read of whe instructs
her maid to let her ''Lottie" out to
meet her when returning home, and
will pick her "Lottie" dog up. kiss
il on the month and rapturously ex-
claim did darling come to meet
mamma"
Fudge! it makes US sick. If we
were a man with wife who
wouldn't mother" anything but a
dog, we'd take the first train to
Utah or some other country where
women are willing to be what God
designed them to be for and are con-
sidered a heaven sent blessing.
And man has got down pretty low
when he consen is to stand 'father"
to a brute. We all sympathize with,
her when she sings, "the lips that
touch liquor shall never touch mine, !"
but we think he is a great deal worse
off when he has to share his kisses
with my lady's pug.
Just imagine the Madonna pic
tured holding puppy instead of the
child Christ! ''Sacrilege!" Not O.
bit of it. Every woman is the living
exponent of poten tial motherhood,
and every woman in whom is the
spirit of maternity is visible Ma
donna.
G., yes: we like dogs-faithfuI,
honest. affectiOnate creatures-in
their place, but childhood's place is
not a dogs place. ''The horrid
thing" CHATS meg cries Mr.. Fitz
poodle Smythe, when he knows we
gave a thousand dollars last year to
the Orphan s Charitable institution. +"
Bless your soul. children don t want
institutioning, the want mothering.
Think of the arms holding brute
against a womanly breast when
there are so many, many little baby
heads pillowing only on cold charity.
Think ola woman turning away
from grieving rose-leaf lips to kiss
a Shiny snout. Think of the heart
hungry little ones to hom blows
are as many as the caresses you give
to you dog. Think of the little
human buds choked by the weeds OF
poverty and neglect, that might
grow fit for heavenly gardens in the
very places where you are raising
dog weed.
Go to, woman. the savage mother
with her babe strapped to her back
is ages nearer the womanly ideal
than you. Unless you can 'evo-

for you with only the little ones
there and Fido and his kind shut

EARLY RISING.
ss fs Not Good For Those Who Have

! &c ts Not Good For Those Who Have
to Work Hard All Day.
There is no adequate support for the
impression that the early morning
hours are in any way more wholesome
or healthy than later periods of the
day. Except in summer time, they are
apt to be damp, fOggy, chilly and
among the least desirable hours of
daylight. 1t is quite true that during
the summer there is a sense of exhila
ration about being abroad in these
early morning hours, but this evapo-
rates with the dew and is apt to be
succeeded by a corresponding depres-
sion and loss Of working power later
In the day. l have been observing my
friends and patients for the past TWEEN.
ty years in this respect and am in.
clined to the opinion that not little Of
the depression and nervousness whicb
so commonly develop in hot weather is
due to excessive exposure to light,
from habits of early rising, inherited
from agricultural ancestors, not coun-
terbalanced by three to four hours
rest in darkened rooms in the middle
Of the day.
Secondly, that the exhilaration expe
rienced during the early morning hours
is an expensive luxury, which has to
be paid for later in the day. In fact,
have found that, as a general rule, to
put it very roughly, the business or
professional man who rises an hour
before 7.3O or 8 o'clock goes to bed or
Asses his working power an hour and
q half earlier in the evening. Each In.
dividual has in the beginning of his
day about SO much working power
stored up in his brain and muscle
cells. If he uses this up with great
rapidity In the early morning hours he
naturally exhausts his stock the soon
er in the afternoon or evening.
1t is largely q matter Of when a man
wishes to be at his best If his occu-
patton Is of such a character that he
can clear off the brunt of his work in
the early morning hours, then let him
rise early If, on the other hand, he re.
quires full vigor and readiness of mind
and body in the latter part Of the day
or at night, then he must rise later to
get it. Even in pure muscle work it is
false economy to work too long hours
