DeTore has for sometime been considered and regarded by those who have beard him in the man agement of law cases KS one of the ablest, shrewdest, and hardest work ing lawyers in the State.

His recent vic tory in the case of Harling and Bunch against King has gained for him the same reputation on the west side of the county that be enjoys at home. The early education of the chil dren which is the object of the Kindergaraen, comprises the most important epoch in the life of a child. It is the period of absorp tion, when more is learned and retain ed than at any later time of the life. Habits of system and concentration, a part of the Kindergarten training, give the child a mind well prepared for entrance into the duties of school life. Before the children have become fixed in disposition the Kindergarten teaches them in theory and practice those ideas of unselfishness and ?rood deportment which in the future life, will minimize the sorrows of their own heart, the annoyance to teachers, and the embarrassment of parents.
