The age of leap year child was
the chief point involved in the case
of Cowden VS.. State before the Texas
court OF criminal appeals. The child
claimed that she was born on Febru-
airy 90. 1896, and her mother and
brother also testified to that effect,
while her father and other witnesses
insisted she was born February IS,
1898. The child testified that the only
birthdays she remembered were In
1904 and 1908. The conflict between
the father and mother as to the age
OF the child caused the trial judge to
permit the sheriff and deputy sheriff
TO testify TO their acquaintance with
the general reputation of the child as
TO her age. They said she was thir-
teen and not fifteen years old. The
higher court reversed the case be-
cause OF this testimony. holding that
the age of q child whose parents
were alive could not be proved by
general reputation, although the par
snts testified differently as to the age.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS.

When Hon. Geo. w. Peck was elect
ed governor of Wisconsin, his first
act was to remove the signs keep off
the Grass" from the Capitol Park.
Like the well known resident of New
York, Mayor Gaynor, he would
rather see dead grass in the parks
then dead children"
1t is generally known that in many
of the parks of the country walking or
sitting on the grass is punishable by
arrest and subsequent fine or impris-
onment. And still the parks were
created for the public benefit. Can
we expect children or invalids who go
to parks in search of relief to sit quiet
ly on hard bench, when the green
grass looks so inyiting2 It's far better
as the New York gentleman says, to
have dead grass than dead children.

When the Boy Is a Problem.

The high school period-including
the years from fourteen to eighteen
is the most critical period in the
life of the boy. President G. Stanley
Hall of Clark college calls 1t the age
OF temporary insanity; others style
1t the fool period, the anti-domestic
era, the hateful period, the era of the
birth of the will At this time, says
a teacher, an active fermentation oc-
ours that may produce either wine or
vinegar. 1t Is time of restlessness,
of egotism, of unbelief; in short, of
vagabondage. This broad-shouldered,
husky lad, with the strength and pas
sions of a man and the Judgment of
boy, scorns all advice from his
elders, although never in his life did
he stand in such need-of It, The
Germans have a way of expressing
the period from fourteen to eighteen
They call it the Wander-Jahre And
truly for many of the three million of
American boys at the age of Adde'S
cence. these years are literally wan
der years.-Suburban Life.

A HoT-HEADED youth, son of a
confederate general, started rumpus
on the battlefield of Gettysburg on
July End, by referring to Ex-President
Lincoln in an insulting way. The
result was that a fight ensued in
which the young man drew knife
and stabbed eight old veterans He
was finally knocked out and placed in
jail. He says he does not remember a
thing about it; that he only has a
sort OF dream in which he thought all
the unionists in Gettysburg were his
enemies. Too bad he could not have
been knocked senseless before, rather
than after having done his horrible
work. One of the men stabbed by
him may die.

oreaon,a Great Volcano.

The highest mountain now existing
in Oregon, Mount Hood, is only H.
225 feet high, but there was time,
probably before the dawn of life upon
the earth, when great volcano
lowered far above Mount Hood, and
probably several thousani -feet. This
was the great Mount Mazama. But
thousands OF years ago this mountain
disappeared into the bowels of the
earth, and all that is now left is the
huge rim around Crater Lake, the in
side, walls of which are nearly 1000
feet high and almost perpendicular
The crater is about six miles wide,
and the lake within 1t Is in some
places 1000 feet deep.

Dry Forces Make Gains in
tuesdays Elections

Tuesdays elections added more dry cities to the
everncreasing dry territory of the state But better
still the voters in dry cities fortified the
license law by electing city officials pledged to the law
enforcement program. 1t is becoming more and more
apparent people that the work of wipng out the
traffic in drink in the cities is only half finished with
the voting out Of the saloons, that it is necessary
have the city administration in sympathy with the
license law to make that law most effective. In
than few instances dry towns have been recaptured
by the license forces because the no-cense law had
been but halfheartedly enforced This is
usti6able because it is clearly case of sur
rendering to the lawless element of the community

1t is the lazy way Of solving difficult problem, and
the brewery and dstiery interests have been slow
to recognize this weakness in human nature. They
have, therefore, persstently aided in law violation by
not only supplying liquor to the blind pgger, but by
assisting him to escape the penalty of the law by fur
nshng him attorneys for defense and money with
which to pay his fines if convicted They have, in fact
in many places deliberately carried campaign of
law violation for the very purpose of making people
believe that the no-cense idea is failure and that
laws prohibiting the sale of liquor cannot be enforced.
