Another sanguinary Cht between

the school grounds. The youthful com
batants pounded each other up nntil
they could hardly see, and blood was
streaming from many wounds. They
would not have fought so long or so
hard, but they were cheered and encour
aged by those, who call themselves men,
but whose only claim to the distinction
is their year. The little contestants
were thua taught a demoralizing lesson
" that will help them en the road to the
penitentiary, and jierhaps rob some
future law-abiding citizen of hi life.
Then there were numbers of little boys
of all age watching the contest, all of
whom left with the idea that it is smart
and manly to fight. It would have been
a mercy to bave arrested these boy and
taught that it is disgraceful to fight,
rather than encourage them in lawless
ness. A the twig is bent the tree is in
clined. A boy who will fight at every
provocation makes man who will'kill
another in the beat of passion. And
since circumstances and education makes
us all what we are, the crime really rests
upon these thoughtless men who made
tiie boy fight in childhood. fShame

Dmrtcd Her Family.
Mrs. R. D. White, ho lived in Klicki
tat, Wash., a few miles from Arlington,
left her husband and family of five
children a few day ago and went out
into the world. She is a woman of pre
possessing apiiearance and more than
ordinary intelligence, but seems to have
become infatuated with the idea that
she is worthy of a hither or more pleas
ant life than staying at home with her
husband and attending to the duties in
enmbent on a wife and mother. All
good people will pity her, but not one will
say she did right. Her own conscience
will continually npbraid her. 8he can
not go down on her knees and ask God
to forgive and smile on her. None but
the vicious will tolerats her, and they
even will dispise and scorn her. There
is nothing j-ossible for her to do
but to return to her family, acknowledge

Mr. Wm. Strong and familv went to

stool prows from sheath, which muy
be either pulled up with the sjifciiucii
or w hich may remain in the pmund

The pills of the deudly toadstool al
ways remain white, or iu upc are
sliphtly tinped with yellow. The
mushroom pills under the cap are
pinkish, chanpinp to purplish black
with ape. The poison of the deudly
toadstool does not tuke effect under

dermic injection of one-sixtieth of a

of Mr. Mcllvaine's ex-plicit directions j

of the same durk-eyed little Indiun

a marvel. They npprouched to within
