little and dance a. little, caused ha-
bitual wrangling which finally
wrecked the frail bark of the never

finished it's. course, A little ques-

of the association brought forth the
pious remark, peace to it's ashes!'
which would leave little more to be
said upon the subject. In future
years an alumni association may be
in peace and harmony,
but the outlook Is dubious. Alumni

or his mother. They were "just play.
ing"
One of the things, every child
should be taught from the first mo.
ment he has playmates is that he
must never point a weapon at any
person or animal. 1t doesn't matter
whether the weapon Is real revolv-
er, a toy pistol, knife, or merely
a stick. He simply must not point
it at the other fellow. Because if he
does, someday he will forget, in play
what he is doing, and the stick will
put the other chaps eye out, or the
revolver will prove, after all, to have
winged death within it.
1t won't take the joy out of life,
particularly, to observe this simple
rule. An imaginary weapon is just
as effective for playing bandit as a
real one. And at worst, little sac
rifice of interesting play is better
than to carry in ones breast lifelong
remorse.

ILLINOIS Gen.
TRA \. c. REPORT
Cold Weather Puts Check on Work
of Corn Planting Small Grain
Doing Well.

Dubuque, May 23.-According to
the weekly crop report issued from
the Illinois Central superintendent's
office, "the weather of the past week
has been very unfavorable for the
growing crops and for farm work in
general. The. average temperature
has been about five degrees below
normal, the latter part of the week
being unseasohably cool, and We
have experienced one light frost, but
no damage has been reported. .&
con the 18th and 14th we had a
heavy rain over the entire division
and this coupled with the cold, has
suspended corn planting. Those who
have their corn in the ground are
very much afraid that the seed is
rotting, and it will be necessary to
replant. The majority are holding
off for more seasonable weather, be-
ing willing to take chance on late
planting rather than to run the risk
Of having to pillow up ground again,
which is in excellent condition in
most places for seeding with little
discing. With several warm days
during the coming week the greatest
portion of the corn will be planted.
''The oats are in first-class condi-
tion.% While their growth has not
been rapid, it has been steady and
even. The other, small grains are
in equally good shape with the ex-
ception of winter wheat, which is
below normal. Haylands and pas
lures are little backward due to
the cool. weather and rain of the past
week, but will average up to the
growth of normal years. So y
indications are that all fruits
will be exceptionally short this year.
Potatoes and garden truck are max
ing fair progress
