FINED FOR BAD BEHAVIOR,

Within twenty-four hours after
he had been released from the Paris
Jail, where he was held on a charge
of having a moonshine still in his
possession, his bail having been re-
duced from $500 to $3.50, Charles
McFeeney, in company with HIS
brother, Collins McFeeney, was ar
rested on warrants charging them
with disturbing religious Worship at
Blacks Cross Roads. being drunk in
church, carrying a concealed weapon
and resisting an officer.
The testimony offered at the ex-
aiming trial was to the effect that
Collins McFeeney was drunk, that he
created a disturbance in the church,
and that he was twice removed
from the building. That while he
and his brother were scuffling out
side the church. a bottle of whisky
in his pocket was broken, and that
a revolver was taken from him by
one of the bystanders. 81.
One witness testified that Charles
McFeeney had threatened to kill
Sheriff Will G. McClintock and his
son, Deputy Sheriff Thos McClin-
took, who had come to arrest them,
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff JAS

PARIS HOUSES SHOULD BE PROP
ERLY NUMBERED

THE NEWS has on many occa-
xions endeavored to impress upon
the people of Paris the urgent neces-
sity of having all the business
houses and residences of the city
uroperly numbered, in order to help
the safe delivery of mail, and to
make Paris a place where stranger
could find certain place without
multiplicity of directions. The sys-
fem has never been completed, and
with hundreds of new houses going
up in various parts of the city, new
business houses recently completed,
and many old houses not numbered
at all, the problem has become a
very perplexing one, and one that
should be solved.
The suggestion has been made that
the new Board of Council should
take the matter up, and see that the
work is properly done. THE NEWS
heartily endorses the suggestion. II
is something badly needed in place
like Paris, for the benefit OF the pos
tai service and the citizens alike.
One condition of the establishment
of free mail delivery here was that
all the houses should be properly
numbered and receptacles for mail
placed for the convenience OF the
mail carriers. Has this ever been
done? We think not. Let's get
busy and correct the mistake.

HEALTH IN THE SCHOOLS

A nationwide campaign to teach
health rules to the 25,OOO,0O0 chill
dren in the country through the me-
dunn Of the public schools is urged
by the United States bureau of ed
ucation. The plan of the campaign
is outlined in government pam
phlet on Suggestions For Health
Teaching In the Elementary
Schools" which is now being distrib-
uted broadcast.
The goal is to make health in
structiOn as fundamental a part of
the child's education as are reading
and arithmetic, and thus to make iii
health as rare as illiteracy.
The bureau claims that out of the
100000 children in the country
not fewer than 100000 are suf-
fering from physical defects which
might be prevented.
If this is true, and such a state.
ment would not be sent out by a
government bureau without having
knowledge of the facts, it reveals q
startling state of affairs and makes
such campaign as is proposed
highly necessary.

WHERE IT WILL DO THE MOST
GOOD

When Judge Porterfield, of Kansas
City, Mo-, removed one of his low
cuts and set about the correcting Of
four juvenile delinquents in a bust
nesslike way he started something.
We are not thinking of the endless
bromidian paragraphs, of those who
can be relied upon to repeat, Spare
the rod and spoil the child. We are
wondering if this dramatic interlude
may not set people to consider
whether after all the old-fashioned
remedies had not some merit of their
own and might not, on occasion, be
be resorted to with advantage. For
Euancy the old way was a good
way. If it was a real spanking ad-
ministered ICON amore," the boys are
not going to forget it in hurry.
There is besides certain element of
disgrace attached to public castiga-
ton which does not seem to go with
detention in a home for such offend
ers. Not only so, but the associations
formed in such a place are rarely
such as are harmless and frequently
most scandalously the reverse. These
then are saved.
The boys went back to school, we
are told. We can believe it.

Ray Clarke paced up and down the
floor and wondered how he could have
been so happy-so free from nervous
ness for so long time.
He hated the great beauty of the
outside world. When he heard people
wishing each other Merry Christmas"
he almost hated their smiles and their
cheerful voices.
How deeply he loved Lillian. She
was worth all the Christmas presents
I'm the worlds Of course. There were
no two ways about that.
And the doctor had said with such
a genial, merry twinkle In his eyes ::
Well, / fancy the young son and
heir will be a Christmas present from
the misSus to you"
He had laughed at the time, and
Lillian had blushed and smiled and
laughed, too The doctor was such
friendly old soul-he had been the
doctor when Lillian had been born.
And he was fine, too.
But perhaps he counted too much Oh
Lillian's strength. Ray had been sent
out Of the room and he had been alone
here now for so long.
AT first he had been SO full Of high
spirits. But the delay had been So
strange. They hadn't told him there
would be any such delay. They had
simply sent him out of the room and
had said that everything was all right
and that they'd come and tell him
soon 10 be back to see his child.
He would go upstairs. He cOuldn'l
stand this another moment. And ii
WAS so quiet. He had fancied ii
would not he quiet. Then he heard a
strange shrill voice.
How curiOusly it sounded. Was
that Lillian. She must be very III to
have voice sound so curiously. He
never heard it like that
They couldn't keep him from her
She would want him, too OF course
she would.
He hurriedly ran up the stairs. The
doctor was at the top Of the stairs.

fast the doctor smiled. 81 was COM

he heard shouting across streets, wish
ing others "a Merry Christmas"
Now and again the wind blew loud
ly, but not shrilly nor harshly nor
with a wailing sound. The wind, too,
seemed to be quivering with happi-
ness. All of nature had Joined to-
gether to be as beautiful, as radiant,
in honor of the day as possible.
The hills were covered with snow.
The branches of the trees were laden
with 1t. Icicles hung from caves and
from corners of houses, and windows
were frosted with exquisite designs
The shrubs, too, were covered with
snow. 1t looked more like Fairyland
than anything else.
In the house they were waiting, wait
ing, waiting.
How tense and long seemed the wait
How nervous. how frightful, and yet
how marvelous-if all went well.
But just suppose everything didn't
