NIGHT SCHOOLS CLOSE.

Director Patterson.

District public night schools will
close June S, it was announced to-
day by Walter P. Patterson, director
of special schools. The bookkeeping
class at Business High School, how

that the students can be awarded a
certificate showing that they have
completed the prescribed nine months

The Truth at Last.

The truth concerning Reuben Rife
has ne'er been put across; men
thought because he beat his wife
he was a total loss. He was man
who earned his bread in labor's hon
lest sweat, and for long years his
|neighbors said he was a good safe
bet. His wife he treated like a
|queen: he treated her too well and
in her course the cause is seen OF
trouble that befell. With too much
idle time on hand, she fooled with
this and that; once she was drum
mer i'll the band, again, an acrobat.
She studied boxing in the school that
old jeff Dempsey ran. till she could
whip a kicking mule, and paralyze a
man. And being anxious to display
the skill she had acquired, she
soaked poor Reuben every day until
she made him tired. At first he
smiled a sickly grin when his Miriam
da Rose would swat him lightly on
the chin or biff him on the nose. At
first she held herself in check. dealt
friendly short-arm jerks, and when
ishe hit him in the neck it didn't jar
Ibis works. But soon she gave him
all she had, haymakers and repeat,
and when she hit his liver pad she'd
lift him off his feet. And it was then
that Reuben's ire. long dormant,
filled his breast: he smote her like
la house afre. and knocked her gal
ley west. And people say he is no
good. lis every act they roast; they
do not know how long he stood. the
household whipping post. And half
the time we do not know the facts
when we arise and call down judg-
ment. doom and woe on other human
guys.
