Now, the girls and boys who go
skating, and more especially those
who go oppossum hunting, are
frequently accompanied by faith
crs or older persons than them
selves. Those who doubt this
statement may feel free to inves-
tigate.
The author wrote very emphat-
ically and made several broad as

which source we hope her knowl-
edge did not come.
The reflection cast upon the
teachers of the young girls and
boys was ridiculous, to say the
least Of it. | feel sure that there
is not Il teacher in the Mansfield
school but who would be willing
to uncover their character and
past life and put same on exhibit

We are not as peSSimistic as
YOU are. Mother. We dote highly
upon the manhood and woman
hood Of America.
Just because One OF two Of our
girls have had their characters
blighted recently, and a desperate
from Douglas county was arrested
here a few days ago, we must not
think the world is going to the
bad. or that there are no good
boys and girls at all. There are
some left vet whose characters are
as pure as the water that flows by
Gods throne.
We must know that the minds
of our young folks + not as poi

us believe. We appreciate the fact
that not all of our girls are afraid
of themselves. even if Mother does
not cOnfde in them. 1t is not every
hoy or girl that keeps his or her
mind loaded with corruptness,
ready to discharge when associat-

They even exhibited a marriage
certificate, which, from what they said,
must have been made out with our
names, and Mrs Chambray and the
doctor signed their names as witness
es. AS nearly as / could make out,
they were going to use this as evil
dence that Richard was my husband,
that he had the right to administer
my estate during the time that I was
incapable. They had even arranged
that a young woman who was hope
lessly insane should take my place
when the executors of the estate came
to see me, if they took the trouble TO
do that. AS it was some years since
either of them had seen me, they could
easily have been deceived And for
their help Mrs. Chambray and the doc
tor were to receive a handsome sum.
Il could scarcely believe nay ears at
first It seemed to me that I must be
mistaken that they could not be talk
ing about me. But my name was men
toned again and again, and as each
link in the horrible plot was made
plain to me, my terror grew so great
that I was on the verge of rushing
into the car and calling for the con-
ductor and porter to help me. But
something held me still, and I heard
Richard say that he had just inform
ed the trainmen that l was insane, and
that they need not be surprised if |
had TO be restrained He had told
them that | was comparatively harm
less, but he had no doubt that the
conductor had whispered it to our fell
low-passengers in the car, which ex-
planned their prolonged absence in the
smoker. Then they all laughed, and
it seemed to me that the cover of the
bottomless pit was open and that I
was falling in.
Il sat still, hardly daring to
breathe. Then I began to go over the
story bit by bit, and to put together
little things that had happened since
we landed, and even before | had left
Vienna; and l saw that was caught
in a trap. 1t would be no use to ap-
peal to any one, for, no one would be-
lieve me. I looked wildly out at the
ground and had desperate thoughts of
climbing over the rail and jumping
from the train. Death would be better
than what | should soon have to face.
My prosecutors had even told T1ow
they had deceived my friends at home
by sending kilograms of my mental
condition, and Of the necessity for put

ting me into an asylum. There would
be no hope of appealing to them for
help. The only witnesses to my sani-
ty were far away in Vienna, and how
could l reach them if l were in Rich
ards power?
q watched the names of the stations
as they few by. but it gradually grew
dark, and l could hardly make them
out. l thought one looked like the

could not be sure.
Il was freezing with horror and with
cold, but did not dare to move, lest
l attract their attention.
I'VE began to rush past rows of
houses, and knew we were approach
ing a city. Then. suddenly, the train
slowed down and stopped, with very
little warning, as if it intended to
halt only second and then hurry on.
There was a platform on one side
of the train, but we were out beyond
the car-shed, for our train was long
I could not climb over the rail to the
platform, for l was sitting on the side
away from the station, and would have
had to pass the car door in order to
do so. l should be sure to be seen.
"On the other side were great
many tracks separated by strong
picket fences as high as the car plat
form and close to the trains, and they
reached as far as l could see in either
direction. l had no time to think, and
there was nothing could do but climb
over the rail and get across those
tracks and fences somehow.
My hand were so cold and trem
bling that could scarcely hold on to
the rail as l jumped over.
Il cannot remember how l got
across. Twice had to cling to a fence
while an express train rushed by, and
the shock and noise almost stunned
me. 1t was a miracle that | was not
killed, but did not think of that until
afterwards. l was conscious only of

What So Precious
AS q Healthy Baby?
Every TourgJfer Can Have Fine
Digestion If Cipcn a Good
Baby Laxative.

In spite OF the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constpated. and II is fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many n young life. To start
with good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But. as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels. we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of n laXative-tonic
very highly recommended by n great
many mothers. The remedy Is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced of its merits buy the
dollar size.
Its mildness makes II the ideal medi-
cine for children, and 1t is also very
pleasant to the taste II is sure IN its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little OF II is required and it's frequent
use does not cause 1t to lose its ef-
feet, as is the case with so many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to It's merits
in constipation. indigestion. bilious
ness, sick headaches. etc, among
them reliable people like Mrs. James

Alleged Fact Of Natural History Alto
eether Too Much for Him

The best people in Dark Hollow had
Just begun to sit up and take notice of
the fact that along the Great White
Way and in other large centers there
was such thing as the turkey trot.
The Martin family. however. living on
the far outskirts of the Hollow had not
heard Of this peculiar and seductive
motion.

Dark Hollow Weekly Struggle that a
lot of chickens in Chicago are turkey
trotting."
"Shucks." said Mr.. Martin, with in
effable disdain. That's Just another

TOO FEW SPECIAL SUNDAYS
Move to Secure Cooperation Of
Churches in Effort at Social
Betterment.

In report on social Sundays sug-
gested to be observed by all of the
churches in the United States. the spc-
cial committee which investigated the
subject says:
"One OF the results of this investiga.
tion was the revelation that the num-
Der of special social Sundays now be-
ing observed on a national scale is
much smaller than has been generally
supposed Only six special Sundays
not specifically designated by the cal
endar are at present observed on any
considerable scale throughout the
country. These are Child Labor sun
day, Mothers day. Peace Sunday. La
Dor Sunday, Prison Sunday and Tu-
berculosis day. The other special
Sundays in the calendar given above
are all fixed by certain national or re
ligious holidays. such as Washington S
birthday, Memorial day or Christmas.
The report of the committee will be
submitted to the Federal Council OF
Churches, representing most Of the
Protestant denominations. to the Ro
man Catholic church authorities. to
the Jewish church authorities and 10
all other church organizations which
can be interested in this movement
The aim of the report is to secure the
cooperation of all of the churches OF
the country in movements for social
betterment
