Fort Dodge, July 1S.-Hope HAL, the
home for ex-convicts, established by
Father" L. S. Coffin several years
ago. is to be abandoned for the pur-
pose for which 1t was established. Mr..
Coffin has offered the buildings and
real estate to the w. c. Il. u. of Iowa,
to be used as maternity home under
certain conditions. The w. G. I. Y.
will consider the matter at the next
annual convention, and it is believed
favorable action will be taken. If ac-
cepted 1t is probable that the Benedict
home in Des Moines, which Is to be re-
moved to some other city anyway, Will
be abandoned entirely and the work
consolidated in Fort Dodge.
The property is worth $4,000 or
more.
Hope Hall was one of only two or
three institutions of it's kind in the
country and 1t was altogether pri-
vate philanthropy of Coffin. He felt
years ago that there ought to be more
of kindly interest in the convict
about to be released from prison, or
just released, and he established his
institution which was open as home
to ex-prisoners until they could get
a decent place In society again.
But recent prison reform legisla-
ton enacted in Iowa has lessened the
need of Hope Hall and Mr.. Coffin
reached the conclusion that the prop
erty could better be used i'll other
lines of philanthropy. This conclu-
sion prompted his offer to the w. G.

VARIETIES IN HUMAN SPECIES,
Source Of Everything That Is Beautiful
and Interesting.

Each human being has something
distinguishing, in form, proportions,
countenance, gesture, voice-in feel
ings, thought, and temper, in mental
as well as corporal physiognomy.
This variety is the source of every
thing beautiful and interesting in the
external world-the foundation of the
whole moral fabric of the universe.
Certain external circumstances, as
food, climate, mode Of life, have the
power of modifying the animal organi-
cation, SO as to make it deviate from
that Of the parent. But this effect
terminates in the individual. Thus, a
fair Englishman, if exposed to the sun,
becomes dark and sWarthy in Bengal;
but his offspring, If from an English
woman, are born just as fair as he
himself was originally; and the chill
dren, after any number of generations
that we have yet observed, are still
born equally fair. provided there has
been no intermiXture of dark blood.

CHAPTER TX.
The Attack on the Lazy S.

It was late. The August night was
cool and sweet after a weary day or
intense heat. The door was thrown
wide open. It was good to feel the
night air creeping into the sitting
room. There was no light within; and
without, nothing but the brilliant stars
in the quiet, brooding sky. Williston
was sitting just within the doorway.
Mary, her hands clasped idly around
her knees, sat on the doorstep,
thoughtfully staring out into the still
darkness. There was a stir.
Bedtime, little girl" said Willis
ton.
Just a minute more, daddy. Must
we have a light? Think how the
mosquitoes will swarm. Let's 90 to
bed in the dark"
1--WE will shut the door, and next
summer, little girl, you shall have
your screens. l promise that, always
providing, of course, Jesse Black
leaves us alone
Had it not been so dark, Mary could
have seen the wistful smile on the
thin scholarly face But though she
could not see it, she knew it was
there. There had been fairer hopes
and more generous promises in the
past few years. They had all gone
the dreary way of impotent striving,
of bitter disappointment. There was
little need of light for Mary to read
her fathers thoughts.
Sure, daddy" she answered, cheer
lily. And III see that you don't for
get. AS for Jesse Black, he wouldn't
dare with the Three Bars on his trail.
Well if you must have a light, you

Funds Subscribed to Continue School.

Grand Cane, LA short time ago
a statement was issued by Superin
.tendent William Goss that all public
schools in the parish would close one
month earlier this year than has been
the custom in former years, giving
the chartered high schools an eight
months session, while al schools of
lesser importance have even a shorter
term The law states that any high
school failing to run nine consecutive
months each year shall be dropped
from the approved list of high schools
and shall not be recognized by the
state as such. At a recent meeting of
the Parish School Board an effort was
made to secure additional aid from the
state in order that this school might
be continued. This project was de.
featef, and today the trustees and Citi-
zens held a mass meeting at the pub
lie school building, raising by local
subscription sufficient funds
to enable the school to be continued
the nine months. At the same meet.
ing a petition to the police jury was
drawn and signed, asking that body
to grant an election for the purpose of
voting an additional 5-mill tax for sui
ficient length of time to create funds
ample to erect a $4,000 brick high
school building at this place.
