The Dirty-Faesd Boy.
IChicago Inter-Ocean.]


In refusing to take two boys from
the custody of their father. to whom
they had been awarded by judicial oe-
cree after divorce suit. Judge SUM
van of the superior court proved that
he had not forgotten his own boyhood
and that he has lively sympathy with
and keen understanding of boys
Ii was alleged that the boys were
allowed to go about with dirty nanos
and faces, and that this constituted
such neglect of the children that the
father was not a At custodian for them.
Said Judge Sullivan:
The fact that the boys may be found
oity at times only demonstrates that
they are boys of the usual agility and
enthusiasm of that age. l would not
give anything for a 9-year- old boy who
would keep clean for fifteen minutes
There surely would be something the
matter with him."
\ Daniel come to judgment, Clean
illness may be next to goodness, as sc
many parents insist when admonishing
! their young sons but goodness OF thai
sort is not e. part Of boy nature. The
real boy likes TO demonstrate his SUI
periority over ordinary obstacles. He
! loves to climb trees and jump fences:
to get into what fond mothers cal
"messes," and to do number OF other
things incompatible with immaculate
cleanliness. And, as Judge Sullivan
says. such things are good for him.
| Mothers would save their sons much
youthful unhappiness and really make
| better and stronger men of them II
while impressing that Cleanliness Is
next 10 goodness maxim, they would
prudently close their eyes upon SUI
ficient number OF occasions to give the
! boys chance to find vent for theil
natural boyishness and accumulate 6
| little dirt

OLD LANDMARK DISAPPEARS.


One of the oldest buildings in Gold
field and perhaps in Wright county.
was torn down this week and marks
the passing of an old landmark. 1t was
the old courthouse building which J.
s Braden has been using as a stable.
This building formerly stood on the
corner where Mr Rraden's residence
now stands. Oidtimers differ on the
exact date of the erection Of the build
ing. bu, it was during the time Goloheid
was the county seat of Wright county
probably 1855 or 1856. 1t was the coun-
tvs second courthouse. She first one
being an ordinary log house. The build
ing was in use until about 1867. when
tn. county seat was moved TO the
center Of the county at Clarion.
Mr. Braden purchased the building
and operated general store on the
first floor for ten years US ing the upper
floor for living rooms. Following this
he had the interior remodeled and used
i. exclusively as residence The
Bradens occupied the building from
1872 to 1898, when their present modern
residence was erected
The old building was constructed OF
native lumber. walnut and oak, sawed
az a mill then on the banks of the

Der in the building is Still in very fair
