DIED

Thomas Larkin died Sunday evening
at his horne on the bench. after an ILL
ness lasting several months. The
cause of his death was gall 1T mes,
from which he was severe sufferer.
Thomas Larkin was born ut Crsnbrook
England, in 1874 For many years
he was a sailor on merchant ship
and had travelled around the world
three times. There was not an osean
or sea that his ship had not sailed in.
Upon giving up his seafaring life. he
became = member Of the police force in
London. and was terror TO evil doors.
In those days he was a powerful man
and weighed 245 pounds. In 1885 he
came to the United States with his
family and settled at Benttie, Kan,
whore he remained until coming TO
Emmett eight years ago. He was
twice married. Twelve children were

operation in School Work.

Last wear was n discauraging ons
for school work, but we are hopine
TO make this a very successful year
The only way TO do this is for teach
ers and pupils and parents to work to-
Rether.
A certain amount Of home study II
necessary from the Fifth grade up
Fifth and Sixth grade pupils should
do some work at home II the teachers
10 direct; Seventh and Eighth grades,
somewhat more, and High School stud
ents still more.
School work must be made Of first
Importance. There should be no dis
tracing influences allowed to hinder
regular preparation Of lessons during
the school work. We earnestly recon-
mend that there be no parties or
sociaIs Of any kind among the pupils
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or
Thursday nighta.
All school socials are TO be held on
Friday night. at the schoolhouse, I'M
less especially arranged otherwise by
the teachers with the consent of the
superintendent. Other parties or
dances that may be gotten up and
held away from the school building
are not school affairs and the teachers
are not responsible for them. Parents
should not permit pupils TO attend
these during the school week. nor NJ
any other time unless they are well
regulated and controlled by some old
or and entirely responsible people.
There seems to be misunderstood
Ing Of the compulsory school law by
some people. Parents are required by
law to send their children TO school
every day. This applies to all be-
tween the ages Of and is years in
elusive. The only excuse is sickness
of the pupil. Parents have no right TO
keep the pupils out for work. Some I
parents have not started their child
rem TO school yet. This is violation
Of the law. More than this, the pupils
will stand very poor chance to make
their grades unless they start in at
the first and come regularly.
am addressing this note TO parents
to secure perfect cooperation with the
teachers for the best interests Of the
children. Parents are welcome to the
office Of the superintendent or the
rooms Of the teachers at any time.

my last bit or strength found a mark
IN his body?
Otto must be dead, my instinct
told me. because I was alive. The
giants brain had been so obessed
with the necessity for my death that
I knew he would have carried out
his intention 10 kill me If there had
been breath enough left IN his body
10 enable him 10 crawl 20 my side.
Ny husband, my home and my
mother-in -law-I dismissed them all
with a passing, loving thought Ny
confidence in Lillian Was such that
just her words, Everything Is all
right at home and everywhere" as
sured me not only that they were
safe, but that she had saved them
worry in that marvellously efficient
manner Of hers.
CuriOusly enough, al my concern
centered around one person. and
that one, a man whose name I did
rot even know.
Was the young army officer who
had befriended me so wonderfully
lying crushed in the ruins OF the
wireless or was the fact that I was
alive and with Lillian a proof that
in some miraculous manner he had
escaped?

as far as my comprehension went
there crept into my brain a persist

With unerring intuition she had

my awakening nerve tendrils could

She deftly held the tube of the

which enabled me to drink without
raising my head so much as an inch,
and I obedient1y swallowed some
thing hot and pleasant, although I
had not the slightest idea what it

of the nurse came past her shoulder

my lips and eyes obediently.
But I could not control my
thoughts and as the effects of the
potent steaming draught I had swal
lowed crept through my veins my
memory went. leaping back to my
last moment of consciousness, and
the scene my eyes had left.
