Brother, Aged Seven.

Statesboro, Ca, Feb. ,24.-John
Deal, 15-year-old son of ]. L. Deal,
a farmer living near here, yesterday
afternoon shot and killed his 7-year-
old brother.
The boy was standing in the front
yard with a shotgun in his hand
when his youngest brother came to
the front door. The boy with the
gun called out that he was going to
shoot. The little fellow ran away,
his 7-year-old brother taking his
place. The older boy said: "Well,
I'll get you," and fired, killing the
other instantly.
Young Deal says that he did not
know the gun was loaded.

Why Living is High.

Ours has been called the richest
nation in the world. 1t is not the
richest nation in the world. 1t is
not the possession of vast wealth, but
the use we make of it that is of the
highest Importance. Wealth is a
trust, and the larger our means the
greater our responsibilities. How
some of our national wealth is spent
may be gathered from these figures,
complied from recent statistics:

three children to tell the truth, to
love God, to love their brothers and
to do honest labor with their hands

died the papers did not notice it,

reached for a fresh pen and turned
over to a clean page, "A queen is
