’the yeuiijr Experience has shown
th a t such teaching' is corrective
of the courser tendencies of our
common nature and thus a suc-
cessful preventive of crime If it
cannot he made a part of the’ re-
gu'ar school work language
talks nature work "memory
gems and the reading material
give abundant opportunity to
teach this and to install into the
minds of voting children the nee-
cessitv of care anil wntchlulness
over the needs of dumb animals
Supplementary 'reading in the
schools offprs a good opportunity
to bring ho fore children stories
literature precepts etc which

There might he an occasional
short talk hy the teacher a selec-
tion read or repeated by one or
more pupils some account of
children's observations of the
habits of animals with notes of
their beauty and usefulness Such

A Prosperous Boslnsss
While there is considerable
talk of hard times and several
business houses in St dwell have
l'eeiV'frrced'tO-si1spend or quit
tl ore are a number - that have
a very different experience uniing
the njiist notices kle perhaps Iv-
ingthnt'of the Live and be t Live
Grocery managed by G L
Stewart
Something like tu n years m-o
this institution op-nl with a
small stork of pood in the mr-
row room just east of th First
National Hank and ever sl-ce the
first dav of openirg the hiiin"ss
lias been increasing and the stock
carried growing larger and better
all because the managers behei e
good treatment and good goods
is ulwavs appr cm ted hv the
public During the summer busi-
ness had become far two large
for the old location aiid actually
much of t lie time' the store was
so crowded with customers that
others were unable to get in and
make purchases It was then
determined to seek new quarters
and in September the Live and
Let Liye moved west into Blank
Building giving several times the
floor space of the old building-!
but with tho adding of a line of
dry goods and a larger general
stock there is n space unoccu-
pied And apir-rently the trade
has increased int the same pro-
portion making it evident at no
distant djy new quarters will
again have to he - hciuired be-
cause of overcrowding
Of course the success is very
pleasing to the proprietors who
are spending every effort to
make the store still more attrac-
tive to their patrons
Politics Works Great Changes
Politics works great changes
it is said and the truth of
the statement can be seen in
tho actions of “our” Uncle Sim
Crocker who wns a candidate for
representative and va8 included
in the list of those who ran
Since the election Unc'e Sim has
shed his listless do nothing air
and has assumed the role of an
honest wood chopper As he is
of massive frame and good build
but few blows are required with
a well prepareq axe to convert a
tree into good stove wood Uncle
Sim has taken on a fresher
younger look and is no longer
stooped and cringing in his walk
but his step is elastic and easy
We have always believed that
there was gocnP in “our” Uncle
Sim and we now know our faith
was not in vain
