First Kick Registered

One somewhat diegruntled indi- vidual, this week, first conducted an assault upon the office door, which chanced to be locked, and then devoted his attentions to the editors. With little ceremony he registered a kick in regard to the placing of Lis advertisement in the News the week before. We admit ted that he had some ground for complaint and agreed to do better by him next time.
 . Ii so happened that we had on file dun recently received from this mans concern, for a bill that had been paid by check few days previous to the arrival of the state ment of innebtidness. The time being opportune we showed this to him. He admitted that there was some justice in our remonstrance, and gave assurance of bettar treat

w. K. Ross, of Belmont, called at the News office Tuesday. MT. Ross believes that he has solved the feed problem for the ranchmen and farmers. He informs the editors that for several years he has raised c, orn that grew to be twelve feet in h eight, but the season was too short to let it mature. He is of the opin- i on that if the farmers would build silos and take. care of their crops in this way the question of winter feed will be solved. He is en husiastic on the silo proposition and is going to build one on his farm next season. The editors have lived in the region of short crops for a num- Der of years and know that the silo is the thing for the farmers.

The Dull" Pupil

"He is slow in his studies;;" ";;Someway he doesn't seem to do well in school" You have heard these and many other like confess ions by worried I arents concerning their 'dull'' boy or girl. To call the pupil dull used to be consid- cred explanation enough and the matter would be let lesl there. Not so, today.
 The medical profession has been looking into the ailment of 'dull- ness" and they have learned that almost invariably the dullness can be traced to some physical ailment or delangement. Many of these, like adenoids, poor eyes, poor hear ing, and bad teeth, can be easily remedied and the dullness quickly and permanently removed. Others that have been due to some more deepseated Arrangement have prov ed more difficult, but even cases where the brain has been affected nave sometimes been relieved.
 It seems little strange, at first thought, that a child could suffer for some serious physical defect without its parents finding it out, but such has often proved to be the case, where the truth has been brot out by physical examination of the children in public schools. In one case which comes to mind ten year old boy was found to be blind in one eye all unknown to his parents.
 Has Williams any dull pupils? The teachers will answer, yes. Who knows how many of these cases may bo due to some physical cause that could be easily remedied! Think what an injustice is heaped upon the child forced to go thru school dummed "dullard" when he n i, ht be enabled to do well in his studies.
 Williams schools, and all schools, need to institute thoro physical ex- animation of all pupils entering school. It has been done elsewhere and it can be done here at very lit tie expense. The Williams schools are right up to date in many ways. Lets add this to their credit and make the dull pupil bright.

WHITE HOUSE BRIDE

Many persons profess TO see an
evil omen in the fact that Miss Jes-

BY some persons of nearly all
nationalities the number IS is re-
garded with superstitious fear.

In England the superstition is be-
neved to have arisen from the old
calculation of the insurance offices
that one out of thirteen persons ia
ken indiscriminately will die with
in year. Others trace the awe in
which the figure is held to the last
supper at which thirteen were pres
ent.
The antipathy to thirteen is old
er than Christianity, however In
the old Morse mythology the thir-
teen party was deemed unlucky be-

god Holder at the instigation of the

He became president of the United
States in 1913.
Announcement of the engagement of
Miss Wilson and Mr.. Sayre was made,
by coincidence, on the first anniver-
sary of Woodrow Wilson's nomination
at Baltimore for the presidency.
There have been some twenty odd
marriages in which either the bride or
bridegroom resided in the White
House, but the last wedding to take
place there was that of Alice Roose-
welt to ex-Representative Nicholas
Longworth, and that was the twelfth
wedding ceremony performed in the
presidents mansion.
Acknowledgements Wedding Simple.
While the wedding of Miss Roose-
Welt was extremely impressive it was
still simple in character. Compared to
the pomp, ceremony and gorgeousness
that attended the recent wedding of
the Princess Victoria Luise, only
daughter of the Kaiser, and Prince
Ernst August of Cumberland, at Ber-
lin, the ACKNOWLEDGMENT wedding
becomes almost Puritanical in it's
plainness.
Probably the wedding attended by

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.

Helen, who do you think, came
into the office today"
"Who?" absently, intent on the diff
ficult process of pinning veil over a
large hat They were going out for
dinner.
Uncle Joe. He would have come up
to see you, but he was in town only
for a few hours"
Uncle joel" With a thrill of dis
may, as she thought of the silver
bread plate he had given them, and
that she was now having engraved for
Estelle Hardman's wedding present.
Eyes, it's the first time he's been in
since our wedding. He asked after you
and seemed sorry he couldn't get up.
1t seems that mother told him we had
received three bread plates-and he
was quite distressed. Said he had
bought his at Tifrany's with the I'M
derstanding that it could be exchang-
ed. So he wants you to take it back
and get something else. He suggested
a tray or berry dish"
"Oh," pulling nervously at the veil"
l wouldn't think of exchanging it. One
can't have too many bread plates
and besides | would rather keep what
7 he selected"
. That's foolish. Well never need
three bread plates and he wants you
to have something else, something you
can use. told him you'd see about it
this week. I'll go with you, if l have
time"
ooh, no-no-you needn't do that"
Eyes, / said | would. Uncle Joe is
getting old and rather childish, so
promised him I'd go with you, If
could. He'll probably be on to see us
some day next week. Well try to get
it exchanged before then"
Her fingers were trembling as she
finally adjusted the veil. What could
she do? The plate was, by this time,
already engraved and probably on it's
way to Estelle, for she had directed
the engraver to send it.
What COULD she do? How could
she keep Warren from knowing now.
If only she had sent Estelle some
inexpensive present, as he had told
her-or even nothing at all! Anything
would have been better than sending
one of their presents and risking War
rem finding it out.
And when he knew-with his innate
hatred for untruths and deception in
any form-what would he say? For the
first time, Helen felt that she might
be afraid of her husband.
1t was Annals afternoon off and for
a change, they had planned to take
dinner at a down town restaurant. But
Helen was too worried to eat. She
pleaded a headache and merely toyed
with the food on her plate.
The place was crowded and the ser
vice bad And Warren was impatient
and irritable with the waiter, as he
always was unless he was we'll and

\ CCORDING to Francis Bowes
~ Sayre, the young man of twenty
eight who is to marry Miss Jessie Will
son, one OF the three daughters of the
President, the wedding will take place
in November in the White House.
HOOdOO numbers have no terrors for
Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, second
daughter of President Wilson. Her
fathers career has been strangely in
termingled with the supposedly I'M
lucky number thirteen, and now Miss
Wilson is to marry Francis Bowes
Sayre and become the thirteenth bride
of the White House. But the daughter
Of the President is not one of those
persons who declines to sit in the thir-
teenth row at the threatre or objects
to being the thirteenth guest at an en-
tertainment. Many times has Miss Will
son detied the superstition about the
number thirteen and sat in the thir-
teenth row of a theatre with her faith
err who prefers to sit in that row and
regards the number as particularly
lucky, at least with regard to himself
and his family.
For thirteen years President Wilson
was connected with Princeton Univer-
sity.

the Red Cross service did anything
to alleviate them. Think of the old
castles, many of which had beside
the dungeons salaried tOrturer and

matte tortures of the centuries, of
the witchcraft mania and of the In

Smithfield and in every great city of

Freedom of speech, even of

how, then, did the love of truth sur
vive as an ideal of today? To escape
these horrors, the gentle, the good,
the learned and the peaceful had to
seek refuge in monasteries and nun
neries.
Ought we not to be thankful that
such education and custom, the var

most promptly served. His constant
railing at walters was one Of the
things from which Helen always
shrunk.
And, now, as she listened patiently
to his irritable complaints, the thought
came: Why should all the forbearance
and adaptability come from her? Why
must she try to be reconciled to all
his faults, while he was so intolerant
of hers?
All the way home, she dwelt on this,
and the thought gave her courage. But,
for fear it might be only a fleeing
courage, she resolved TO make the
most of it now She would tell him the
facts about the plate. He did many
things Of which she disapprovei and
which she was forced to accept! Why
should he not accept someof her fail
ings also?
When they reached home, she hur-
riedly threw off her wraps and went
into the sitting room where he was
settling down with his paper.
Warren, we can't exchange that
plate Uncle Joe gave us. | have given
it away"
He looked at her, too astonished to
speak.
Il had it engraved and sent to Es-
: telle Hardman for a wedding present.
! You said give her something inexpen-
| sive or nothing at all-and | couldn't
do that, after she had given up that
expensive vase. We had three silver
bread plates and | sent her one
that's all. 1t was not that l didn't ap-
preciate Uncle Joe's present-but to
me that seemed the best way to use it.
l know you will think differently, but
in many ways, we are different.
And then she waited for the storm.
1t came. He was angry, very angry.
He said many things, among them
that he had thought her at least hon
est-and, in this, she had deceived
both Uncle Joe and Estelle.
Are you quite through" she asked.
Then, for a moment listen to me. We
have been married two months. Most
of that time I have spent trying to
adapt myself to you-and to your
faults. You say you are, in all things,
literally truthful-and that you abhor
any form of deceit. That l know.
But | know, also, that you are irri-
table, and selfish and unreasonable
and domineering! l do not think am
any of these things. But l admit that
in small ways, harmless ways, | am
not always truthful nor always quite
honest-few women are.
81 have had to accept your failings
and now you may learn to accept
mine"
And without waiting for a reply she
quietly left the room, closing the door
after her.
1t was the first time she had assert
ed herself in any way. And for long
time he gazed at the closed door, more
astounded and disconnected than he
had probably ever been before.
