the trial marriages we have heard
about.
1t could not be a real home when the
children had no rights which the
| father and mother were bound to re-
spect A defective or girl baby was
usually exposed or abandoned or killed.
Sometimes, when the father was away,
the mother would be too tender-heart-
ed to kill the child and would abandon
it. The abandoned children were usu-
ally left at Velabrum, near the city,
and those who were childless would
sometimes watch for the castaways,
pick out one and adopt it, The rest of
them went to the witches or the slave
dealers or wild beast or birds of prey.
That same wise and noble Seneca said
it was not anger but reason to thus
separate the useless from the sound. If
we were hunting for home in Greece
we would not fare any better, even
where esthetic and intellectual culture
was the very highest. There was purity
among the women of the early Ger
mans till the Romans took them over,
but even there the wives were bought
and could be sold and beaten at pleas
ure.
There is space left to speak of two
facts about the American home One
is that 1t Is safeguarded by just and
generous laws. The reason for this is
that the people themselves hold in
their deepest consciousness and con-
victions the sentiments that are essen
tial in the home; and the legislatures
and courts have given them what they
were taught by the home to give.
Every child Is guaranteed protection
against brutal treatment; so is every
woman; so Is every man, If he should
need such protection. The state re-
serves the right to take away any
member of the family thus mistreated.
Another fact is that the American
home has been the most powerful in.
stitution in generating tides of patriot
ism and education and in conserving
the treasures of religion. 1t has felt
the need of schools, and, under urgent
home sentiments, the leaders have
gone forth to found and fashion educa-
tional agencies to assist the home in
it's nurture of the young. The home,
rather than the state, has been the
nursery of patriotism, as mothers have
taught and fathers have showed their
children how to live for the land they
love. And religions mightiest work
has been done in aiding the home in its
sacred tasks.
And two very hopeful signs encour-
age us. One is that the psychologist
has invaded the home. He is studying
the institution as a whole and In de-
tail, especially mothers and boys. The
great international home congress.
just held in Brussels, helped. The
children's exhibit on home condi-
tions, now being prepared by some
men and women in New York, will
help some. The other sign Is that
movements are starting In the home
for self-inspection and self-rectifica-
ton. II has got as far as the mother
and we have mothers clubs. Next we
must have fathers clubs for the study
of the whole situation. We have boys
and girls clvbs, but no sons and
daughters Clubs as yet. These will
come next.

more men, who were placed in con-

Trepoff knew in his own mind that he

The months heightened into year,

his mind day or night, and scarcely a

some new scheme for bringing the gull

persons were arrested for minor po-

he closely scrutinized the evidence In

called for the purpose of demanding
satisfaction Of General Trepoff for his
tyranny in ordering a political pris-
oner, named Bogolinbuss, to be flogged
for a slight breach of prison dis
cipline. 1t seems that for years she
had been nursing a grievance against
the chief of police. She believed that
she was to be the instrument by which
Trepoff was to be removed from his
position. Her life, it is asserted, was
an apprenticeship for one thing-the
killing of the czar's chief of police.
At the age of seventeen she had been
arrested and kept in prison for two
years because she had received letters
from a revolutionist. After that she
passed an examination as school
teacher and was working at book bind
to st. Petersburg. Her experience had
prepared her for the deed. On the

called upon Trepoff, promoted him to
the position of counsellor of state and
then charged him with the commits
sion of capturing and furnishing the
man or men who were guilty Of the
outrage in the winter palace.
Trepoff was man of remarkable
capacity. He was burly in form but
singularly nimble in thought. He had
the cunning of the fox with the pa
tience and persistence of a we'll
trained hunting dog. A number Of
men were arrested on suspicion. That
was necessary. 1t seems to be the
practice of the police in all countries
to arrest somebody at some time in
connection with every crime that is
committed. Afterwards, if the person
can prove his innocence, all is well,
but in the meantime there is feeling
that the police have been alert and
have done everything in their power
to capture the criminal. But in this

OBITUARY


Jeremiah III. Klinger died at his

Tuesday. November IA. 1911. as was
stated in our issue Of that day. The
funeral was held YESTERDAY, and th.
following written by his lifelong
friend, Hon. Daniel Mcdonald, was
read:
.sThere passed away Tuesday
morning after a lingering illness of
infamatory rheumatism and heart
affection. one of the oldest residents
of the county, and also one of the

NJ. Klinger, at his home on Michi-

Plymouth on the north. Mr. Klinger
has been a ling for several months,
but his affliction was of such a nat

any relief of permanent nature,
and gradually wasted away, and
peacefully passed away to his long
home as stated.
He was born near New Lexing-

was in his 10Th year at the time of
his death. He came to Marshall

er of Chicago, Finds An Alarm

Dr. Young, City Health commits
sioner of Chicago. has just made a
report to the Superintendent of the
schools of that city, and declares
that the condition of the child s
teeth has much to do with his ability
to study. He says that the condi-
ton of the teeth of Chicago chill
dren is menace to their proper
education. Following is an extract
from the Chicago Tribune on the
subject: What do you think an
examination of the school children
cf Plymouth would reveal?
Only three out of every 100 Chica-
60 school children examined by the
health department have their teeth
properly cared for. OF the r-st,
half are found to have cavities in
their first permanent molars, and a
fourth of these are beyond saving.
The discoveries are the result of
an investigation made by the health
department, cooperating with the
school authorities The figures were
made public yesterday by DR.. Young
the city's health commissioner, in a
letter to the superintendent OF
schools. The probable result of the
discoveries made by DIR. Frederick

P. b. s. Loses to Bremen

The p. III. S. basket ball team were
defeated Friday night by the boys
of the Bremen High school by a
score of 27-14. Prof III. w. Outer
who went along with the boys as
coach. stated this morning that the
real reason for the loss of the game
was that the Plymouth boys did not
play as hard as they should. They
did not seem to enter into the game
with that determinate spirit with
which they faced Argos last week.
But the bows can harlly be blamed
for this. In the first place, they
felt the loss of their captain,
"Rick." Then there were not over
half dozen Plymouth people there
to yell for them, whereas Bremen
brought out fair sized crowd, de-
spite the bad weather.
The game was played in a hall
above fine new garage. This is an
excellent place for indoor athletics
and Bremen is to be congratulated
pom having so fine a place for their
basket ball games.
The score at the end Of the first
half was 1913 Bremen's favor

work for the home team. he making

the social and economic life of the

that it Is a law unto itself. 1t Is
moreover so cosmopolitan and demo
cratic in its scope and method that
class lines and social distinctions
are forgotten.
The dominant spirit of this organ

is wide and ever widening field of
common interest in which everybody
