 In many instances the presence of adenoids in children is not susr ctod, and when it is, few parents seam to ltake it seriously, not realizing nat as the growth increases the mental edge becomes dulled.

 Telling Parents About 1t.
 It is a delicate ma ter to report tc parents, unauthorized, the physica shortcomings in their children. It is mot known whether or not the parent is aware of the defect, or if he has tried to overcome it. Since he ha; never mentioned his child's welfare to he teacher, it might naturally b' expected that he would not welcome her solicitude.
 It is nearing promotion time again this being the week of final examina tions. If your child is retained mak if vonr business to find out why. may be true that his stumbling bloc is something that you can easily IT move.

 Need of Health Inspector.
 If you see as we do, you will see from the above writing that the crying need of the public schools is for a Health Inspector-a competent and re- 1 spected physician who will visit every school room, make an examination ol the health conditions of the pupils and recommend treatment where it is needed. In such cases the result 0I i his examination with his recommen dations will be sent as an authorized report to the parents. Further ac-ior will remain with them. They are fcet tto employ any physician they wish, ol tiff they are unable to do this, the Cit! 1 Physician will render his services fret of charge This Health Inspector W, consider the very first need of th' school at present.

always waiting for him, and came out
to caress him and feed him Jumps of

"0ur mountain air is doing you

morning. Mrs Davis tells me that

Thus it came about that Bruce saw:
great deal more of Una Dacre than
was good for his peace of mind.
Snowfall seemed to share his regard
for the lovely girl from the East. 1t
got to be so that it was a regular
thing for Bruce to come around with
Snowfall, and for Una to start off on
one of those stirring rides that
brought fresh color and brilhancy to
her eye.
At times Bruce was fairly jealous
of the growing attachment of the
splendid animal to a person whom
Snowfall knew was a friend of his
master Bruce would stand watch
ing the picture of grace and beauty
dashing along the ravine patch or
scudding like an arrow over the level
ground.
One afternoon-ah, he never for
got it! he had seen Miss Dacre
mounted and away along the river
reach where the bluffs rose high and
craggy He had his rifle with him and
was about to join some comrades on
hunt for the afternoon, when he
arose erect and thrilled
Snowfall was in sight, and swaying
IN the saddle, a superb horsewoman,
Una had never seemed so lovely-or
dear ohm. He had sighed forth the
hopelessness of the love he dared not
express. Now alarm drove every 9TH

ing challenge which Bruce had heard
"Spitfrel" exclaimed Bruce, and he
recognized the dismounted rider as
the man to whom he had sold the
mate of Snowfall over a year agone.,
And then his heart stood still. An
answering call, glad, riotous, deliri-,
Gus rang out from Snowfall He had
seen his old friend. All was forgotten,
of discipline, of gentleness. Once;
more he was on his native plains rae
ing with the companion of his early
years.
"She is lostw died in the ranch
mans throat "Oh, my love! my love!
And l helpless"
Snowfall had disdained curb, bit
and spur: He had veered and was
making for the point where the road
was unguarded. More than once the
daring steed had sprang down that
treacherous reach, had swan the
river and gloried in the adventure.
In a flash Bruce knew that once
Snowfall started down that steep in
cline Una was doomed. A misstep, a
stumble would be fatal, Superb
horsewoman as she was, she could
not retain her seat.
I've got to do it-for her sake" is
sued from Bruce Telford's lips in a
hollow groan.
He had less than two minutes in
which to act, if he would save the
woman he loved-but, oh, the terrible
sacrifice.
With sob he raised his rife. He
was a sure shot. Bank-crack! And
Snowfall fell not 20 yards from the
verge of the dreadful precipice.
Bruce saw the animal culver,
stumble and fall inert. He saw Una
extricate herself from the saddle, APP
parently unframed. Then, white as
death, he bowed his head where he
stood, almost broken-hearted. ~.

REPARTEE OF THE DIAMOND

and Pich got out of the hole | had helped
get him into. Also he went through the
ninth without ans trouble, and won the
game, thereby keeping New York out Of last
place by margin OF half-game.
TIM SCOTT of the Chicago White Sox and
y Dan Noelcr of the Washington team are
the best OF friends: but this relationship was
momcn,arily strained during game at
Washington last season 1t resulted from
SCOTS starting to kid Mocller about his
ability as a batter In ordinary circum-
stances the Washington outfclder is far
above the average with the stick. He was
in a batting slump, however. and had proved
easy picking for the Chicago pitchers during
the opening games Of the series. He was i'll
no mood TO be kidded when Scott opened
up on him from the Chicago bench. Mana
ger Callahan had just sent in a young coll
legian by the name of Lathrop to finish
pitching the game, and Alocllcr was the first
man to face the recruit.
Here's soft one for YOU to break in on,
Kid" yelled Scott TO Lathrop.
Moclcr glared toward the Chicago bench,
and was greeted with row OF smiling faces.
On the first ball pitched he sent up little
fly to the catcher.
SAY, Dan. when are YOU going to get a
hit?" asked Scott.
when YOU pitch, if Callahan ever gives
YOU a chance. | expect to get enough hits
then to make up for my entire slump, an
Swered Moeller.
Scott was silent during the remainder Of
the game.
EVERY now and then the public is msled
- as TO the nature of what is taking place
on the diamond. Several years ago in a
rather important game at Detroit, with two
on and two out, Sam Crawford hit long
drive to right field. 1t was the last half Of
the ninth If Crawford was able to reach
home on the hit, it meant a tie game and
extra innings The fans were worked up TO
a high pitch, and were pulling like mad for
him to reach the plate in safety. He was
thrown out at the plate on a close decision,
and naturally the fans were much disap-
pointed As he got to his feet he began 10
talk to me. and we walked to the dressing
room together.
"Tell it to him, SAM" yelled number Of
the fans.
On the car going downtown that evening
a couple of fans sitting in front of me were
discussing the same play. Both appeared to
be fair-minded chaps, and they agreed that
from the stand it looked as if the catcher had
blocked Crawford off, which was just what
had happened.
did you notice that Crawford followed
the umpire off the field, thought. asked one.
Il wonder what he said to him?'

the conversation.
1T was worth taking the chance said
Sam; although | hardly thought ! could

"Fine" | answered. "She is making this
trip with me-
Good. Mrs. Crawford will be awfully
glad to see her, and talk over that trip TO

COAL QUESTION
TO Be DECIDED
Authorities Must Announce
Whether 1t Constitutes
Contriband of War.
ESPECIAL ee....rsss.se.,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Govern-
nent authorities here will be called
on in few days to make final and
decisive announcement as to whether
coal constitutes contraband of war.
England has already announced the
cargoes which are to be subject, to
"onfiscaaon. The United States ST.
prerce court in 1866 made ruling
which Eeld that merchandise might
be divided into three classes: first, to
consist Of articles primarily and or
dinarily Ised for military purposes;
second, articles. which may be used
for either war or peace, according to
circumstances; third, articles used en-
clusively for peaceful purposes.
The two articles, however, over
which there has always been dispute
are coal and provisions. The coal
supplies for battleships is of the ut
most Importance and heretofore the
great part OF the coal for nations en-
gagged in war has been furnished by
England. Just now it is up to the
United States to make its decision. In
the past 1T has been the custom to

FLOOD GATES.
Thrown Open by the Under.
wood Bill for Filing of Con-
federate War Claims.
t.,.elAL 10 1nl 1llre.A.,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. TO-
Thousands OF war claims mounting up
In the millions may make a heavy
drain upon the treasury, II the amend
ment of which Oscar Underwood,
Democratic House leader, is the au-
thor, is forced through. Mr.. Under
woods amendment is the first instance
In fifty years where the barrier OF
loyalty to the government, which has
always been the basis of all war
claims, is absolutely shattered.
So far as the Democratic leaders
amendment is concerned, the flood
gates are thrown open for the filing
OF hundreds Of thousand Of Confeder-
ate war claims. II the Democratic
leaders policy is approved, 1t may
mean the payment OF millions Of dol
lars to the South. And 1t looks as
though it might be, since Democrats,
South and North, followed Mr.. Under
wood in his break over the loyalty
bars like sheep.
Republican Leader Mann fought
valiantly against the establishment of
this unusual precedent in the House,
but he was swept away by the Demo-
cratic current.
The particular claim was that Of
Antonio'Q. Lowell and heirs-at-law of
Confederate General Quitman for fed
eral occupation Of lands owned by
that general, in the crop year Of 1865.
The United States court of claims re-
jected the claim because the owners
OF the land failed to establish their
loyalty to the government. The stand
ing committee on war claims likewise
rejected It, but the Democratic leader
put 1t through.
Concern has been expressed by
those who see the possible drain on
the treasury that this precedent may
create, lest, Immediately after the
coming elections. thousands of other
such claims may be considered and
allowed, regardless OF the loyalty or
disloyaltg OF claimants during the
war: Minority Leader Mann called at
tentfon to this danger, but he was
ignored by the Democratic majority.
