MELANCHOL|A
CAUSED SUICIDE
THE TRAGIC SUICIDE or MISS
BouTiN As SHE SAT BEFORE
cRUCiFIx.
SHOTGUN WAS WEAPON.
0Ir Bore q spotless Reputation and
Had no Love Affairs and Cause 10
AscrIbed to Mslanohoita.

Tragic In the extreme was the sui
eide of Vsna Boutin, aged 10, who
shot herself through the heart while
facing a crucifix as she was alone in
her home, two miles from Provement,
a French Catholic settlement.
She had begged to be allowed to re-
main away from church while the
other members OF her family attended
services. Her fathers shotgun was
the weapon chosen for the deed and
the girl had prepared for death with
evident calmness. She placed the cru
cifix on the box stove In the parlor
and drew up a chair. Then she sat
down and, placing the butt of the
gun against the stove. pulled the trig-
ger.
When the family returned Mrs.
Boutin was Mortified to see her
daughter sitting with head thrown
back in the chair, her waist still
smoking from the guns discharge.
The shot had torn gaping hole in
her left side.
The girl is declared to have had
nothing In the way approaching a
love affair and bore a spotless repu-
tation.
The verdict of the coronsr's Jury
was suicide due to melancholia." II
was rendered at / O'Clock Monday
morning at the Boutin home. the in
quest having been begun at midnight.
1t was brought out at the inquest
that the girl had been reading relig-
ious magazines, fasting and praying
much and was respondent. Besides
her parents she leaves three single
brothers and one married sister. Bur
ial will be at Provement.

Skim-Milk Fed CaIves.-So many
people speak of the trouble of raising
calves on skim milk. Now there is
trouble in raising a calf by any
method, If its mother is used for dairy
purposes. To let a calf to the COW and
take ii away when it has enough Is
more work than feeding by hand Fur
Their, there is no absolute way of tell
ing when the calf has taken the proper
amount of milk. You just have to
guess at it. The calf that is fed by
hand can be raised on skim milk after
a few days, and the cream saved. The
calf that takes its nourishment from
the COW consumes all the cream in the
milk. hence an expensive calf. The
handled calf will soon learn to eat
grass, hay, or grain and will make as
good growth, with care, as the calf fed
in the natural way. 1t lives on cheap
feed, is always contented, and through
constant handling becomes a gentle
and serviceable COW. Those who have
tried the two methods find that the
skim-milk method is safe, easy, and
profitable In every way.

Give The Country Boy A Chance.

One of the important pieces of educa-

it the duty of the board to not only
pay the tuition hut expense of travel
ing as we'll. The law reads as follows:
Section 1. The board of education
of anv school district which does not
MAINTAIN high school shall have au-
thority and is hereby required to vote
a tax sufficient to pay the tuition to
the nearest high school OF any chill.
dren residents of said district who
have completed the studies of the

the transportation during school days
of such children. Provided. That the
parents of such children shall give
notice to the board of education on or
before the fourth Monday of June that
they are the parents or legal guardians
of such children and that such children
desire to attend high school during
the ensuing year. Upon receiving
notice of children eligible to attend
high schools the board of education
shall vote tax sufficient to cover the
necessary expense for tuition. and may
vote a tax sufficient to cover the
