THIEVES BUSY
IN THIS CITY

Flower thieves are busy again
in Grand Junction. These pests
and yandals make their appear
ance and get in their work early
each spring, when the first flow
crs begin to bloom, and they
keep up their work well on into
the summer. IL is to be hoped
that some of these vandals will
be caught and prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. 1t is said
that in most cases the petty
thieves are boys but this is not
always the case.
Last night a number of petty
thieves invaded the flower bed at the
home of lady who is especially fond
of flowers and raises a great many
flowers each year, and stole over 100
beautiful tulips, which were being
tenderly cared for and which had not
yet reached maturity.
1t is charged by some people who
have made investigations this spring
and last spring that these thefts are
not committed by children of fam
lilies of the poorer class but in many
cases the vandals have been members
of prominent families and one gentle
man declared to The Sentinel this
morning that parents have been
known to receive stolen flowers from
their children without reprimandine
the children. Certainly a most de-
plorable state of affairs.
If any one sees a flower thief at
work, let him or her report the Of
fender at once and assist in the pros
ecution.

Howard Burrell has another letter
in the current issue Of the Washing

black as ink. In winter these swarthy
pirates live in caves in the limestone

goats, saints to sheep, and when sins
piled up, to be toted off, 1t was always
William who was chosen as scape-

HOW TO BRING UP BOYS.

Two young sons OF United States
Marshal John r. Alternately of Okla,
homa, aged respectively six and ten
years, have just completed a trip by
horseback from that state to New
York City to meet Colonel Roosevelt.
The elder Alternately was rough
rider and is q warm personal friend
of the former President. The long
journey of 1000 miles was consider
able of an undertaking, but the boys
made it without accident or delay
from any cause. The western self
dependence exhibited by the lads
prompted New York reporters to In
quire into the kind of training they
had had. 1t developed that their
mother died some time ago, leaving
six or seven children, all young. Cap
tain Alternately took their training in
to his own hands, assisted by his old
est daughter, a girl of fourteen He
is quoted as follows as to his ideas
about bringing up boys:
Teach boy self-reliance from the
moment he tumbles out of the cradle,
keep his traces taut and work we'll
forward in his collar and ninety-nine
times out of 100 his independence
will assert itself before he is two years
old. Then guide him with a firm, but
tender hand; instill into him the prin-
ciples Of right and wrong, and the
rest is easy. If there is no faint in
his blood, and he doesn't possess a
yellow streak, he will develop into a
firm man. That's my rule, and if you
don't think I'VE taken the right track
talk to my boys for five minutes and
they'll convince you that they are
men in principles, even if they are
babies In years, God bless 'em.
you see, Temple was less than
four when his mother died | was
away from my ranch much of the
time looking after my duties as
marshal and the boys had to hustle
for themselves Their sister, Kitty
10, had to mother them, and she took
the place at the head of the table, fol
lowing her mothers death. She's
conducted the household affairs Of
the ranch ever since. The other girls
are Goldie, twelve; John, (she's girl
too, and named for mel, eight: Pearl
three, and Lucille, two"
1t is quite possible that the method
followed by Captain Alternately would
not be as successful in all cases as il
has been In the case of his own boys
but 1t holds good nevertheless thai
self-reliance should be taught more
generally than it is at the present
time The boy lacking in self-depend
ence is apt to be SISSY" boy and Ger
tainly is seriously handicapped in life
There is danger on the other hanc
that the boy who is too self-relian'
will become smart alec In this
as in other things, the medium groune
is the safe ground

The Gate City undertook to compli-
ment Editor Richards of the Mt. Pleas
ant Journal for his good work in that
paper in the interest of Taft, Carroll
and Kennedy in the recent primary
campaign, but inadvertently credited
him to the Mt. Pleasant Republican.
The latter paper also did valiant SER
vice for the cause of real Republican,
ism, but The Gate City had the Jour-
nal in mind at the time. The type
writer on which the paragraph was
written is a good one, but like all
writing machines it lapses into heter-
ophemy occasionally Perhaps this
big word will hold the editor of the
Mt. Pleasant Free Press a few min
utes at least. 1t was he who called
public attention to the error in giving
credit to whom credit was due.
