Resist Melancholy.

Never give way to melancholy. Re
sist it steadily. for the habit will en-
croach. l once gave lady two and
twenty recipes against melancholy.
One was a bright fire; another to re-
member all the pleasant things said to
and of her; another to keep a box Of
sugar plums on the chimneypiece and
a kettle simmering on the hob. l
thought this mere trifling at the mo-
ment, but have in after life discovered
how true it is that these little pleasures
often Danish melancholy better than
higher or more exalted objects; that nc
means ought to be thought too trifiing
which can oppose it either in ourselves
or others.-Sydney Smith.

Mrs. Z. S. Peterson, principal

Mrs. e. S. Peterson, principal
of our school, called at The Press
office since our last issue, and takes
exception to some Of the state
ments we made last week in re-
gard to the criminal exposure to
the cold water of two of the young
er pupils of the school. The two
statements to which she objects
are Q) the inference that the oc
curence took place on the school
house grounds, and (2) that the
guilty culprits we're escaping due
punishment.
The Press has to acknowledge
that it made some strong charges
without first making an investiga-
ton as to the truth of its state
ments, or the veracity of it's infor-
mant, and that the article in ques-
tion might be construed as SLAM
der on the Forest City school.
This is far from what The Press
wished or intended to intimate.
Mrs. Peterson informs us that the
pupils who were guilty of the
overt act were disciplined in ac-
cordance with the rules Of the
school,
AS to exactly what did take
place, or who all were guilty, we
do not deem that they need to be
rehearsed or exploited in the col
umns of The Press; for the reason
that we are not one of those who
would curtail the liberty of ''young
America" in his aspirations for
''life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" on just the same
grounds as we, in common with
the newspaper and magazine fra
ternity, demand ''freedom of the
press"
But this freedom is to be used
for CON-structive-not DE-struc-
tive purposes. The occurrence
which we mentioned was
evidently done without 'smalice
aforethought." 1t is the same
way with the vandalism of certain
youngsters in this town that claim
the liberty of the street. The,
are charged with Q) breaking
window lights and doing othel
damage to unoccupied buildings
(2) digging holes and caves in th'
bank of the river, (3) making
splay"-dams in the bitches ane
drains of the new road that th'
county commissioners gave us las

just now there arc couple
of smallpox cases reported in Pot
ter county in addition to the one
at Cheyenne Agency, and that is
the justification for The Prcss's
s'breaking out us it did last week.
There arc some folks that say, if
you have anything to do with q
person afflicted with certain all
ments, or with someone else who
has,-1F YOU get sick with it,
THEY have given it to YOU.
The Press objects to any such the
DRY or belief. This is not to say
anything against the quaranting
of smallpox or other similar dis
eases EXCEPT aohen 1t l1tte1Jcrcs
quith q PERSONS business.
We have not GOT any long
lingo with which to set ourselves
up in opposition to the medical
fraternity, or governments quar-
antlnc, but sin conclusion we
wish to reiterate what we said last
week ON the subject:
''It is probable that The Press
would not have paid any attention
to the incident, but for another
view of tie matter. towit: Accord
ing to our experience and obserya-
tion, it is the exposure to cold, i'm
it's various forms of sweat, exhaus-
tion, ETC., such as that to which
the two young pupils above re
ferd to were exposed, that is the
cause, or starting point whichev
er you choose to call lt-of conta-
gious diseases.
"Medical science, we believe,
says that contagion comes thru
germs and microbes, which are
bred by nnsanitary conditions
IN plain English, 1t comes thru
cnposurc to cold. Some people
get scared at even the Thought OF
a microbe; the infection and con
togion they giuc to others is Mci1
.ten1.'
