SARGENT CHILDREN'S BOOK RURAL DOGS ACT FROM ACCIDENTSP5.MIi 1URY -VERDICT: KUun Hwsmi. Hit, of Talent, tame lo his ilvath Friday night, us ihe result of an "accidental heir-inflicteil sun shot wound." ac cording to the verdict reached by the coroner's Jury at the inquest held at the Conner funeral homy last nit; lit. Jurors appointed by Coroner Conner were: William Lyman, foreman. I tarry I.oflaud, A. .1. Crose, Dr. C. A. Hcuchler. Loren GreRory and V. M. Howard. The firtit witness called wan Dr. A: K W. KreHKe, who reached the Kverett Leeson ranch, where the sluiotlni; occurred, a few minutes after the accident. He testified an to the range of the bullet, which entered the left lung be tween the third and fourth ribs, went between the eleventh and eighth rlhs in the rear and lodged In the cawing of the door on the unclosed back porch of the house. Statements which the dying man had made while in a semi conscious state, regarding his in- uA.jiei iciice witn u rearms, vun- vineed the physician that the death was accidental, according to his testimony. Dr. H. K. Green, who was call ed to the bedside of Klton lleeson by Dr. "Kresne shortly after six o'clock, substantiated the testi moiity of Dr. Kreese when he was called to the stany). lOverett Heeson, brother of the deceased, testified under the ex rtniuation of Deputy District At torney Frank P. Farrel that his lirother had no financial wor ries, was happy in his domestic life, was in good health and was of an unfisualiy cheerful disposi tion, thereby having no apparent motive for suicide. That his brother was unfamiliar with the Luger pistol with which lo shot himself, was another statement made by Kverett Bee son. The latter had left the de ceased a minute prior to the ac cident and went down into a field. He was retuinii'g to the house when he heard the shot, and saw Jus brother walk out onto the porch. "1 was fooling with that, gun and shot myself," Klton said, ac cording to the testimony. The injured man, held his hand over the wound. "Did you shoot your hand?" Kverett said lie asked. ".No," said Kit on. and sunk to J he ground, unconscious. Kverett moved his brothfer unto M couch in the living room of the house and called the doctor. Later he discovered the bullet of the, gun in ti e ca.semont of the door. Other witnesses, were Jonas Snil.er, who was on the ranch neighbor and friend, who was call ed to the home shortly alter the accident. Their testimony corro borated that of Kverett lleeson. Miss Olga Hanson, general nurse who attend Klton lleeson after his removal to the Sacred Heart hos pital next testified, as to state ments the wounded man had made pi lnr to his death. "My God, what did I do to my self?" she said he repeated over and over, at one time when she was alone in the room with him. She also testified p fhat he had mumbled something about fooling with the '!iin. and knowins noth ing about firearms. The jury deliberated 25 minutes before bringing in their verdict of accidental Uerith. The funeral of the deceased will probably he sel for Tuesday, according to Coroner II. V. Conger. LONDON.

Ity and freedom from any self I conscious literary effort so often .the weakness of the dairy form of personal narrative. Invents of thrilling character nnd genuine his torical lmpoidnce are condensed In a few paragraphs, and yet the story an a whole gives an unusually faithful and graphic, picture ! of army life during the 'Spanish war, and the adjustment period follow ing, particularly In the 1'hilfp plnes. .

WEEK OBSERVED ! This is Children's Hook Week, a most Hiiiruhlc time to talk to par ents about their children's read ing, a subject w ich many of them consider of small importance, but which educators recognize as ex tremely important. 1-rctptently. In my conversations with t children about their reason for not taking ( home more lxoks to read, they reply by telling me that mother1 doesn't want them to waste their, time reading, or that they have to spend it on their lessons. ! What a discouraging answer It j is, the one that dismays any touch er or librarian most, because it shows that the mother or father, has not really given the subject ; any thought at all. Any teacher; knows that it isn't the child who; reads merely, his history or goog- j raphy lesson, tho stipulated num-! ber of pages each day, that heudj' the class. It's the one who has) read history stories and tales of : other lands in his leisure time 1 who really understands the formal 1 lesson material best. My seckin-'; ; amusement through reading, a j chihl absorbs an unbelievable ' amount of information, a back- j ground of the richest kind, and one he will l ave with him all his life. A boy or girl will forget many5 of the dates learned in 'history' class but never the forgets the i impressions gathered from a good ; story on that same historic period. lies ides information, books con-: vey ideals to children, they accept them without realizing it, ami be cause of this, willingly. A book whose hero has noble ideals, im presses a boy more than ten ser-! mons. So urge rather than dis courage your children to read. Re member that from the time they are in the fourth grade until they begin hk;h school they will road more books thnn at any other period of their lives. Iteforo that most children have not mastered il c mechanics of reading and later many other things come to claim their time. So do not worry if taey are "hook worms" at this time, hut help them in making a good choice of books. Send them to the library, consult lists of hooks suggested by the teachers, and librarians, be pleased If your child 'Moves reading mote than any other fun." Alter a long day. at school, and hard playing out-! of-doors after school, what fun it is to curl up quietly In tiie big! chair at home with a good hook. For, information and inspiration visit the public library and ftce tho exhibit of children's hooks display ed in the club room during hook week. You will wish you were again eleven years old or ,' only, eight, if you plan to. give, chil dren's books for Christmas gifts, a visit to this exhibit will help you in selfeiing them.

AS PAPER BOYS I Once in a w hile u newsboy will i go to the dogs, but of late It has j become the fashion in the rural, districts around ledford. for the: dot: to go tit the newsboys, to get : the evening paper, instcV f jh'-: pemling upon the latter tu deliver; it. i Several canine newsboys h;iv, been trained during the past year) to meet the rural circulation men of the Mail-Tribune several leagues from their homes, take tho evening paper from them and run back to their owners with a speed that van not be equalled by the weary carriers.

Others set out at the same time each day, regardless whether they hear -the whistle or not. and wait for Hie carrier to appear.
