"Oh, no: you rate my devotion too
high by far. Peters life has not been
endangered.
But the guard told me he was the
direct cause of all that firing beyond
the ravine."
The starlight revealed the swift
merriment in her eyes.
'T-I-well, believe he was orig
lnally responsible. but-wel, you see

really there is no danger that he will
get hurt. l cannot imagine what they

even wasting a smile on the racket

my attention has, indeed, been
called to that fact. Yet that does not
explain how he could lie in two places
at one and the same time"
Nothing that Peter pleases to do
is explaiuable. His ways are not our
ways, nor his thoughts our thoughts.
He Is simply Peter He started all
this, but was never in front of those
guns long. They must be shooting at
shadows. But, Major, we forget where
we are, the perils about us, and the
necessity of your immediate escape.

my arm, urging me toward the thicket
where the horse was concealed; then
suddenly paused with a new thought.

OF the suggestion, and moment later,

Rangers, slipped through the thicket
of trees, and took the reins from her
hands.

Suicide Among German Children

SuCtue among herman CnilCFeh
Why do so many German childra
commit suicide? No che seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed it has been said that
the majority of suicides are those Of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grissly epidemic with the
educational system, That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind Of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the discourag Of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know if any Of
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such
acrrid social phenomena as that OIL

Let Reason Control Emotions.

The mind must be controlled before
the emotions can be. A man can never
be philosopher until he can control
his emotions. Emotions. like hope, are
stronger than reason, as are some 9TH
ers, but such emotions will never go
very wild If reason Is virtually active.

GLENDALE SCHOOLS
WITHOUT PRINCIPAL.
School Election Passes Off Without
Excitement Death Takes Two Citi-
zens.

Having just returned from the City o.
Baltimore where with our son we were
honored guests at the great National
Democratic Convention, we find our.
selves unable to produce a lengthy list
of news items. We would be pleased to
give lengthy account of our visit to the
convention but this might not be inter-
esting to our readers, as the daily
papers have been giving the doings of
the convention i'll detail. We will say
that this great gathering of over thirty
thousand democrats is the largest throng
of humanity that it has ever been our
privilege to witness. Great crowds for
three blocks and as far as the eve could
see were clamoring in vain for admission.
1t was strange sight to see many of the
old political leaders go wild with excite
ment whenever the name of their favor
ite candidate was mentioned, some of
them shouting and yelling until almost
exhausted.
On Sunday afternoon one of the most
notable women of this community, Mrs.

children all of whom are grown. The
deceased will be sadly missed, she was
a sympathetic and helping companion in
the time of sickness and distress, and
beloved by her neighbors and a host of
friends. Her remains were laid to rest
beneath a bower of roses and flowers,
tokens of loving kindness from the ten
der hands of sorrowing friends.
