Happy Little Folk.

One of our reporters passed a
pleasant hour this forenoon in the
kindergarten room of the public
schools, where Miss Margie Murphy
is conducting private summer kin
dergarten. Some fifteen happy little
folks ranging in age from three to
five years-nearly all less than five
were certainly most entertaining
in the various exercises of the
school. Miss Murphy, whose seven
years experience as an assistant in
the kindergarten here has made her
most efficient in her methods, con-
ducts this school along regular lines,
and it is indeed surprising to find
how readily the babies not yet four
years old respond to her directions.
A morning prayer, motion and &C
ton songs, games, regular gift work
using blocks and forms-paper
folding, FASTING and cutting, are the
usual routine. For outdoor recrea-
ton the children have access to a

The statement is to the effect that

the deputy sheriff was not there,

Schmidt, who is a German-P Porto
Rican, might have remained at large
for an indefinite period. He had
many friends who were sheltering
him and taking turns at feeding him.
He surrendered, he said, because the
officers had arrested one of his
friends, John Rodrigues, one of the
homesteaders above Pauilo, and be
cause he had been told that they also
had jailed his aged father. Rather
than see his father and friends suffer
he was willing to submit to the au-
thorities and let the law take its
course.
At the same time he has displayed
a peculiar streak of inconsistency, for
he told Sheriff Pua and Deputy Sheriff
RickHrd that eff they don't treat me
good at the Jail l won't stay. I'll es-

AS a result of the murderer's child
