TWO SIDES TO Iy.

There has been quite little
talk around town about Chief
Seaver beating up poor frlendless
boy. Most of the talk originated
from an article that appeared in the
Tribune a few days ago. On
investigation, the boy tina: is sup
posed to have been beaten up is a
man for size If not for age. Next
he is an all around tough and bum.
He escaped from an offer at Joplin
by knocking the officer down and
running. Next, the chief did not
strike him or abuse him in any way.
The above is the officers side of
the case and is likely the correct
one. There was not even bump
on the boys head, at least, to show
for any abuse.
We believe in fair play and do
not think it right to censure our
conservators of the peace unpeces-
sarily or unjustly. II a few more of
the criminal classes about this town
should get their heads cracked the
officers should be commended and
not censured.
Let us always look at the other
side before censuring an officer.

LOOKING. FORWARD.

You are a pretty girl, nay dear;
we will admit that, An unusually
pretty girl. You are striking; you
have a figure, and when you pass
the hotel the men turn to leok at
you, and you have the front roem
lighted up four nights ia the week.
There is 40 doubt OF your
popularity-nons at all, my dear;
so YOU don't have to urge that as
an excuse for the way you are going,
And you know you are golng-so
do IS every one else in town. And
its too bad; you insist eD acccnting
the fact that you are she-creature.
Your dress, your gait, your general
air and attitude is that of female
rather than that of person, and
when a man is around, if you could
see the way you act, you would
blush; it isn't any one man in
partieular-just any old pair OF
trousers. Good Lord, girl, stop
flirting and get some sense. Take
off that dress that outl:Kes your
figure until you look naked, and
put on clothes like other women.
Don't say that these clothes make
you look stylish; what they do is to
make you look indecent. DON'T
devote so much time to the fact
that you wear petticoats, and spend
q little time in considering yourself
as a human being.
Of course, we know you are
smart. my dear; you know lot-a
lot of things you have no business
knowing, and that shows also. If
you knew what is written on your
face you would be ashamed to 60
outdoors; but it is all there-every
enc of thoss vain things that fill
your silly head. And where your
treasure is there your heart is. As
enc thinketh so he is, and you are
so plainly in evidence that it is
pitiful how you advertise yourself.
OF course it's fun; you are having
q good time; it's all innocent fun,
and you know how to take care Of
yourself. They all do-thosc
smart girls; and the good time gets
sloser aud closer to the edge; but
stolen waters are sweet, and bread
eaten in secret-but you don't care
10 have scripture quoted at you.
Still it is true, and it is the wisdom
Of the ages.
And you are someone's pride and
10y; your father doesn't see what
the other men see; your mother
may see and fear, and perhaps she
