END OF A STORY.

/ The last chapter in the story of the
Ffe and death OF Miss Anna Pelley
has been written, but the memory
thereof should and doubtless VII re,
main with tho people of Cairo always.
The grand monument unveiled and
dedicated at the grave in Anna Gene
terry Sunday afternoon is an elo-
pnent tribute from a great host of
people In Cairo and towns in the
vicinity, most of whom knew her
only through the sad and terrible
manner Of her passing away
tribute written in everlasting granite
to one whose life was a beautiful ex.
ample and her death a cruel sacrifice
1t were mete that the anniversary of
her death NOV. 81 be made each
year an occasion for such review and
inquiry. resolves and action, as viii
conduce to better citizenship and bet
ter government in this community.
Before permitting the ceremony OF
Sunday to pass into history The Bull
letin wishes to join the relatives of
the dead girl in an expression OF
thanks to the many contributors 10
the fund for the monument, in the
collection of which 1t was proud to
play an humble part; to the monu-
ment committee, Mrs. John A. Miller
and J. p. Schulz of Cairo, and Mr.,
Pickrell of Anna, who gave much of
their time freely to the work of pro
curing the monument and to whom
belongs the credit of executing the
wishes of the contributors so admir-
ably; and also to those who took part
in the ceremony of dedication, max
ing it fitting climax to the whole
sorrowful proceeding.

Try Mrs. Wiaes' Way.


II was Mrs Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" says an exchange, who used
compliments instead Of spankings in
bringing up her children. and there Is
an up to date mother who has two
very well behaved children who says
that the keynote Of her success with
them is that she says do" instead of
don't when her Youngsters are in
need of correction or direction. The
consistent following of this simple
principle requires thought aud quick
wit The first impulse when there is
mischief or disorder being made or
soHie other rcprehensible business go
ing ON is to cry don't" but do" as
Illustrated by drawing attention to the
opposite Of chid's actions awakens
interest and is far more effective In
correction II am sure the idea of
saying do instead Of don't is the
right one" says this mother. "Of
course 1t Is not always possible to OBJ
serve this rule. but whenever one can
l believe in the substitution OF the
positive for the negative. In other
words. the child's mind Is given some
thing definite to work uron. No child

mics of our modern methods. mot all

their babies lived and grew up In spite
Of what mistakes they made they try
to have their daughters make the same
mistakes.
There Is no doubg about ii that
modern methods have reduced Infant
mortality immensely. and, though OF
course It's true that plenty Of babies
grew up into healthy children with
the old, careless methods, baby
brought up IN the modern way has
twice the chance to grow up that they
did
But the grandmothers don't see 1t
that way. They say all their babies
grew up, or If one or two died they
would have died anyway. no matter
what precautions were taken. and they
tell their daughters that all this steril-
izing and boiling and the rest of the
things that we are trying to teach
them is all nonsense.
Most Of them talk behind our
backs, but once In awhile one of them
speaks right out to me. so know

opportunity ii predicted has already
occurred and that with the recent purr
chase or exchange Of the new pair Of
browns from st. Louis the fire de-
partment now has an extra horse
and further that old Prince, the vet
eran of the department, that has
served the city for the past six or
seven years has about reached the
limit of his capacity for active SER
vice.
1t would seem as if this sturdy old
fellow who has responded to alarms
SO promptly, night and day and in
good weather or bad. and who has
worn himself out in the service O,
the people is entitled to something
better than being sold for what he
will bring to whoever has the price
and without reference to what his
future care will be, We all know
how rapidly old horses descend the
scale and the dragging existence Of
starvation and abuse that is so often
the portion of their latter days The
Bulletins suggested experiment Of
fers at least a temporarily more
happy fate for Prince, equine dean
of the Cairo department, and it is be-
lieved that his sedate promenade up
and down the avenues and paved
streets of the city would furnish
source of real satisfaction to every
lover OF the horse aside from the
many benefits that would follow as
explained.
The bankers convention will be
held In Cairo next week. bringing to
the city probably the most important

Ind reckless behavior on the streets
is what the. bankers and
heiH wives will not only see but
experience If steps are not taken to
