hurt in fnlling. I fell five storios
once and bruised my shoulder a bit.
"There is an art in knowing how
to fall. You want to double yourself

worry. It i3 this thing of grabbing
at the air with your arms and legs
as you jro down that makes trouble."

NUDE BODY OF YOUNG '
WOMAN FOUND IN WELL
(United Press Leased Wire.)
LOS ANGELES, Cnl., Nov. 29.
A undo human body, presumably
that of a young woman, with tho
right side of the skull fractured and
tho jjnw broken, was discovered at
the bottom of nil old well on tho
Crinklnw rnncli, in Coyote pass, just
out of the city limits, last night and
will Ibo brought to tho surface today,
Every indication pointed to foul
play. Tho body, stripped of its
clothes, hnd been dumped into -tho
slush of tho well. A board jammed
against it had kept tho' body from
rising to the surfneo of tho brakish
water until tho formation of gases
lifted it up,
Editor Mail Tribune: A few days
ago, whilo wife and I were basking in
the wnnn autumn sunshine nt our
front gate, discussing and admiring
tho many elegantly dressed ladies
passing in their mnny varieties of
autumn colors and costumes that
would keep the rainbow guessing
whether God gave all his beautiful
colorings to tho cold green earth be
low or tho starry heavens nbove, and
to note tho indescribable bevies of
clenn, rosy-cheeked school children
leisurely passing to and fro, our at
tention was particularly attracted to
a bright-appearing boy of some 12
summers, perhnps, who came saun
tering aimlessly, up with but little
concorn apparently, smoking tho fa
vorite cigarette, and stopped in front
of us, nnd without introduction or
any preliminary remarks, snid:
'Hello, Joo nnd Mary. Did you folks
seo that old guy of a rainbow of n
mnn thnt jjust passed by with gray
hair and beard and enrrying a
cane?" Well, kind render, if a thun
derbolt from n Southern Oregon sky
could not of struck us with more
force nnd astonishment than to hear
tho words just spoken from the inno
cent lips of this bright, inischiovnus
youth, and our feelings woro touched
with sympathy nnd pity for tho un
limited neglect of his homo training
nnd the lack of a jjudicious applica
tion of thnt old-time remedy, hazel
and poach tree sprouts. But swcot
memory nt once recalled to mind my
limited experience in homo training of
ZOB HA KNKTT,
Dainty little soubrettc, who will appc ar in "King Dodo" next Tuesday night
the boys and girls in the good oldd
pioneer dnys of SO years ago. Brief
ly told, we were tnught what obedi
ence means nt home and at school
and that iicvcr-to-hc-forgottou in
dellible copy that manners makes the
mnn, but does the ahovo apply to this
fast, busy ago of attractive environ
ments nnd the knotty question arises
has thero been any noticeable im
provement in tho teaching of man
ners, morals and tho proper respect
duo to the nged gentleman and lady
among tho young boys and girls of
tho 19th century, which we think is
the keynote and foundation of their
future lives. But wo leave this for
tho modern parent nnd educator to
answer. '
Well, wo looked our Young Amer
ica boy acquaintance over pretty
cnrofully and became fully convinced
ho wns not a Medford boy, but one
of thofio no, yes, hello, filthy cigar
ette, old guy class of boys that had
porhnps been smuggled into our clem,
virgin city of good manners nnd
morality from some of tho old pio
neer niosshack cities of the north,
the homo of reform schools and cor
and many other fruit nnd society
posts, which, wo note, aro moving
rapidly south to taint nnd infest and
corrupt our beautiful indescribable
Hague River vnlloy of pcaco, power
and plenty.
In conclusion, permit your liumblo
writer to suggest to the clean, bright,
promising young boys of our young
city to bo propnred to mcot all the-o
vicious hnbits with tho manly words,
"No, sir." J. G. MARTIN.
