He stood in the middle of the rug in front

pressibly pathetic in the bowed head and bent
shoulders, something unfamiliar in the Slim

negligee she wore seemed to droop YEARLY
to the support of her arms. Yet even then he

CHARLES GUSTAFSON
IS FOUND INSANE

Yesterday afternoon Charles
Gustafson was arraigned before
Judge Chapman on the charge of
insanity. Gustafson is one of the
eccentric characters about town.
His wife accuses him of being
crazy on the subject of religion,
and said that if he were allowed
to go free she would refuse to
live with him. Gustafson was
wont to stand on street corners
and denounce the courts and Or
thodox religions in terms that al
most reached blasfemy.
He will be sent to the Stella
COON hospital for the insane.

PUT BOYS ON FARM
| SAYS COLL|COT7
Put the boys on a farm.

That is the advice of Superin-
tendent Collicott to the school
board concerning the parental
school for incorrigibles now held
at the old High school.
This old school in the heart of
the city is unsanitary, unattrac-
tive. lacks facilities and is poorly
located for the purpose, the sup
erintendent says. He would have
a new school placed out on a farm
where the boys may study and
work also.
There is nothing like good hard
work in the soil to take the bad
out of a boy.

Since the Athletics made John

many sports are picking him for an

of opinion is that the former star

The strength of football eleven
