understanding. Instin ctively you
know that she has sounded the
depths of human happiness and

Mrs. Vanderbilt has the capac-

suffering from the same terrible
cause. She began at once to help

COMPLAINT AGAINST THE BOYS

Like Mr.. Trynke, who complained
OF boys stealing and destroying his
strawberry plants, l, too, have
complaint to make.
Two years ago had nice patch
of potatoes near the river, and out
of sight of the house. l had to dig
them when they were about half
matured on account of the boys pull
ing up the vines. They totally de-
stroyed about $50 hills. Later
learned who they were, but other
than warning the boys, l said moth
ing.
This year they stole about one
half box of nice apples, which l
wanted to see mature, as they were
the first the trees have borne, but
they took them all. They are also
stealing eggs and chickens, and not
satisfied with this. they try to shoot
the chickens in my lot with rifle.
1t seems to me that parents CT
those boys should know a little bit
of what is going on. l would not
think SO much of it if they had just
taken their pockets full, but when
they hoard them up at home under
their parents very eyes, there is
something wrong.
There is but one end of it, "a
dose of bird shot, or jail"
am not the only one complaining
of these boys, who live in my own
neighborhCod.
