There are certain laws that apply to
mental processes with which everyone
Is familiar One of them relates to
the danger of idleness and it's use by
an individual whose name is not men
toned in polite society. There is
no class of people SO apt to do fool
lsh and imprudent things as the girls
who have nothing to occupy their
minds, says the Newark News. The
girl that has to work for a living is
really safer than the one who is I'M
der no such compulsion. Where a
girl has no serious interests her fu-
ture is largely dependent upon the
discretion and discernment of her par
ents or guardians. The Philadelphia
girl that ran away with hotel wait
er, according to reports, has been for
given From what Is known to the
public concerning the case, she should
have been. But has she forgiven her
guardians? She Is not as much to
blame as those who neglected to take
care of her. If her life had been
normal she would not have been
seized by the notions that have drawp
a cloud over her.

Chicago is leading the country these
days In reforming the curriculum OF
the public schools. It has just kick
ed out algebra and lot of the arith-
netic, compound interest, for instance
The effort is being made to teach the
children only those things which are
likely to be useful to them and which
they are pretty certain to remember
For this reason history Is being taught
In new fashion, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. A child is no longer marked
upon it's knowledge of the number OF
men killed in any particular battle,
bat upon the salient features in our
history which are of Importance now.
In most of the school histories a
large amount of space is given to colo
NAL times, customs of the Indians, etc.
Ten pages at most will give the sa-
Iient facts in our history up to the
time of the revolution. Those who
are interested can find plenty of de-
tails for their delectation, but what
every child should know is something
about the origin and development of
this government and his present or
prospective duties as citizen.

GIFT CANDY WAS POISONED
Sweets Containing Strychnine Left on
Porch, Almost Fatal TO
Plymouth Family.

P1ymouth.-Much mystery at
taches to the leaving of poisoned
candy at homes of several Plymouth
people. A box of the candy was
found on the porch of E. E. Eastman,
directed to his daughter. Both Miss
Eastman and her father partook of
it and the latter was made desperate
ly i'll. Prompt action on the part of
a physician saved his life. Boxes
were left at the homes of J. E. Curtiss
and William Holling. Examination
of the contents showed that strych-
nine had been injected into the candy.
The poisoning has caused much ex-
element.

Madison.-Not a dollar of loss to
any depositor in any state bank, mu-
tual saving bank or trust company
under the supervision of the Wiscon-
sin banking department is the crafty
ing statement Of Commissioner of
Banking NJ. G. Bergh in his report
made to Gov. Davidson.

that during the year, ending Nov. 10,
1910, there were organized thirty
eight new state banks, with a total
capital of $663,50O, while one bank,
with $4,000 capital, liquidated,

seven banks, bringing a net increase
Of capitalization of $653,50O, which,
with the increased capitalization of
seventeen old banks, brings the total
increase of capitalization for the year
to $1,138,500.
Commissioner Bergh reports the
institutions under the control of the
department, with few exceptions,
have had a very prosperous year; that
the trust company law of 1909 is in
certain feSpecLS uelecClVGs ana SnOulQ

itself is in need of additional assist
ance if the highest results are to be
obtained. 1t appears from the tabu-

NEW USE OF scHooLHoUsEs.

The great success of the series OF
free lectures which are being given
In the various public school buildings
In Milwaukee by one Of the most noted
teachers Of cooking in the world, Is
gratifying to those who believe In
utilizing the school houses for the
benefit of the people. The thousands
of women and girls who have attended
the lectures have necessarily learned
a great deal that they never knew
before about housekeeping, says the
Milwaukee Journal They have heard
crisp, practical talks about marketing,
about cooking, about keeping the house
clean and healthful and about economy
In the household management. They
have learned things which will help
them to achieve somewhat better re-
suits at a somewhat smaller outlay of
money. They have profited by person
al contact with woman who Is G.
mistress of domestic science. Their
families will enjoy better cooking ana

Ing here and there. The city, as
whole, will profit through some i'm
provement in household hygiene. The
current lectures on cooking, the en-
pense of which is betrayed by private
capital, shows the great demand for
one use of the schoolhouses-that of
canabIe instructions in household man
Rgement Several civic clubs, through
the use of school buildings for the
purpose, are showing what can be
done in the way Of enlighten1ng the
people in the way of public affairs
Next month the Journal proposes, by
giving a series of ten public moving
picture shows of high order, to dem
onstrate what can be done in the way
Of providing wholesome public amuse-
ment in the schoolhouses.

health of Kentucky has compiled the
cost to the people of the state brought
about last year by diseases that were
preventable, says the Boston Trans

SHOOTING OF CONVICTS
A VIOLATION OF LAW
In Opinion of Commissioner
Davidson

In Sumter county, where eighty 81
ninety convicts are employed in good
road building, the recently expressed
opinion of Chairman Davidson of the
Prison Commission, wherein he holds
that convict guard has no right to
fire upon an escaping zebra is of con-
siderable interest.
The discussion arises over the
shooting of a negro convict near AT
lanta several days ago.
This, naturally, gives rise to the
question of what use there is in arm
ing the guards at all. "Only to defend
themselves, answers Commissions
Dawson, provided he is right on the
other contention, on which he is not
absolutely sure.
Since the question is raised it will
have to be ruled on. And if it is def
nitely decided that a guard has no
right to shoot at an escaping prisoner,
the problem of convict camp surveil-
lance will be considerably more com
plicated
lat this time, in practically every
county camp, the men are given TO
understand that the man who stands
over them with his rifle or shotgun
for the specific purpose of stopping
them if they try to run, and in every
camp there are many whites and
blacks who are not chained.

New Orleans, June 22.-Cotton fu-

was shown in Texas. On and imme-

fered sport and the more active
months stood points over yesterday S
close. The market did not have a good
tone however, private reports of
showers over Texas and Oklahoma
being against it. Scattered selling
was more than the demand could alb
sorb, and at the end of the first half
hour of trading prices were 2 opints
up to points down, compared with
yesterdays final quotations.
With the market acting as if It
wanted a break, leading bulls scat
tered heavy buyink orders around the
ring and the new crops were put 90
70 points over yesterdays close. AS
soon as this buying stopped the mar
ket commenced to sag again. No spe-
cial support was offered the old crop
months and they did not share in the
rise and at their highest were only
to points over yesterdays close. The
weather forecast promised no rain in
Oklahoma or Texas, with the excep-
ton of the southeast part of East
Texas, and this was against sho-t
