The Republican territorial con-
vention which assembled in Silver

We have had occasion TO attend the
sessions. of circuit court frequently
since the beginning of the Spring term.
1t has been very pleasing to note the
creditable and efficient manner in
which the local young men attor-
neys have handled their law
cases. It's very easy matter for
one to sit back in the audience and
criticize: but it is another matter
to present clients case before the
court and jury in concise,
clear and acceptable manner. 1t
requires knowledge of law and
tact in presenting only those points
in case that are beneficial and favor
able TO the attorneys client. After
the evidence in case has been care
fully presented, it is quite important
to review the evidence and present it
to the jury In pleasing and convinc-
ing way. Grand Rapids has several
young attorneys that have &C
quilted themselves ably and well at
this session of the court and we take
pleasure in mentioning them at this
times MessrS. w. E. Wheelen, Theo,

DESTINED TO DIE BY BULLET.
Mothers Belief in Boys Fate Seemed
Justified by Events.

People may jeer at fatalism and
led in predestination," said Senator
Culberson of Texas at small gather
ing, of friends the other day in Wash
ington, but sometimes man rubs ell
bows with events which make him less
skeptical about such things. A fine
young boy near Dallas was shot while
out hunting, and the bullet lodged so
near his leart that there was not one
chance In a thousand that he could
survive an operation. But he did sur
vfve, and the operation was one of the
things of which the surgeons in the To-
cal hospital were very proud. But
the boys recovery was tedious and as
soon as the fever left him he was
allowed to see his friends and to play
cards and generally to amuse himself.
The bullet had been given to the boy
and occupied conspicuous place on
the table. Every caller saw and handled
the bullet and talked over his almost
miraculous escape from death. One
day the boys mother was with him
and several relatives when a boy
who had formerly gone to school with
the patient paid him visit and of
course he wanted to hear all about
the operation and to see the bullet.
The boy told it all with great vim
and then, taking up the bullet, he said:
Here's the bullet that caused all the
trouble, and now 1 shall bite it to
pieces to pay it back and he laugh
ingly put it in his mouth Just then
he was seized with a coughing fit, the
bullet slipped down his throat, lodged
in his windpipe, and in few minutes
he had strangled to death. The poor
mother was nearly crazed with grief,
but she afterward told the pastor of
her church that she felt her son YVES
destined to die of that bullet and that
she had little confidence of his re-
covery, even when the operation was
pronounced successful. She had dab
bled somewhat in The occult sciences
and she declared that the boy had been
predestined from all time to die from
that particular bullet and that nothing
could save him from that fate"

ONLY EDUCATION THAT COUNTS.
knowledge Absorbed Must Prove an
Equipment to the Mind.

man may be ignorant in nine lam
guages; he may have conned the ac-
cumulated knowledge of the world
and yet be uneducated; he may read
the works of the wise men of the
world and yet learn little wisdom; he
may garner a huge collection of facts
and yet avail himself of none of them.
Education does not consist of knowl
edge, nor of learning mere facts, nor
even of the exercise of the reason in
connection with the facts and the
knowledge. Roger AScham limited at
the right education when he said of
the improbable exercises of the
schoolmen of the middle ages that
they were always learning and little
profiting; their whole knowledge was
tied only to their tongue and lips, and
never assembled to the brain and head"
That education is alone the real edu-
cation which gets into the system"
becomes an instrument in the hand,
an equipment to the mind, a part of
the nature, an addition to human pow
ers, development of the body and of
the moral nature, the cultivation of the
soul or the man spiritual

Death Reward of Dogs Devotion.


Pete was the name of smart dog
in the Loudner family back of Millrift,
Pa The Loudners are Germans, and
the youngest is three years old and a
boy. Because the dog was too clever
It was killed.
But it was mistake.
The child and the dog wandered
some distance from the house in the
afternoon, romping with rubber ball
fastened to the end of stick. Sud
denly the dog appeared at the house
and ran about the rooms, and, barking
and yelping, pulled at the women's
dresses and otherwise acted in such
a strange manner as to cause them to
scream Mad dog!" and seek safety
on chairs.
George Loudner, attracted by the
noise, came into the house and shot
the dog. Then the child was missed
and search was instigated They
found the youngster in high glee at
the antics Of big rattlesnake which
was playing with the rubber ball.
The boy would reach out the whip
with the bali attached and hit the
snake on the head. The reptile
would resent the attack, plainly trying
to sink it's fangs into the rubber globe,
all the while rafting and coiling and
uncoiling as the ball circled about it.
Mr.. Louder killed the snake. The
dog was not mad, but had tried in
vain to get some one to aid the child,
and met it's death by being too faithful

the beach from his house. The launch
