I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?whereGod has not" A Lesson and a Warning. The shocking tragedy of the opera house Friday night should prove a lesson and a warning to men and boys who have the pernicious habit of "pistol toting." A pistol is a weapon designed solely for the purpose of taking life?primarily human life ?and great is the pity that such ^ -a weapon was ever invented, especi. ally the automatic, steel bullet affair that seems to be the spe-cial pet and plaything of many young bloods about town. There is some excuse for having a pistol In one's home to protect his household, hut there its usefulness ends. As a toy it is a distinct failure, and statistics show that more inen who never "pack a gun" die natural deaths than those who go armed for self-protection. The affair at the opera house is fid indeed. It is by the mercy of Providence that it was not far worse. Suppose the hall had U?n crowded with ladies and children?think what might have resulted. The thread of human life is too brittle to In* imperiled by stray bullets. Again, we say,, let this l?e a lesson and a warning. Democratic Success.

Everyone became very much interested. A few have about decided to study this language. The spelling match between the third and fourth grades resulted in a victory for the latter, although the little third grade pupils did fine selling. The tenth grade had per- j :ius?>i<m iu acct-uu auu i, ncj ujv,. it very much. The library is now open on Monday and Thursday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30, Miss Erckmann being librarian. Each pupil is expected to attend at least once a week. Quite a number of pupils have been suspended on account of mumps being in their immediate families. A Christmas Prersnt That Means SomethingThere is one especially good thing about a Chris :mas present of The Youth's Companion. It shows that the giver thought enough of you to give you something worth while. It is easy to choose something costing a great deal which is absolutely useless, but to choose a present costing only SI.75 that will provide a long year's entertainment,and the uplifting companionship of the wise and great, is another matter. There is one present, however, which does just that?The Youth's Companion. If you want to know whether it is appropriate or welcome, just visit the home of some Companion subscriber on Companion day. Do not choose any Christmas present until you have examined The Companion. We will send you free sample copies and the beautiful Prospectus for 1911, telling something: of how The Companion has recently been enlarged and improved. The one to whom you give the subscription will receive free all of the numbers of 1910 issued after the money is received; also The Companion's Art Calendar for 1911, lithographed in twelve colors and gold. These will be sent to reach the subscriber Christmas morning.if desired. You, too, as giver of the subscription, will receive a copy of the Calendar.
