Our Boys.
Just what is to become of my
boy has been a perplexing ques
tion and the source of much
anxiety on the parent's part. It
will always be a source of worry
and much concern. Last week
in Caruthersville a batch of boys
were arraigned in the Circuit
court and sentenced to the re
form school for their misdeeds,
of a felonious nature. They
were paroled, and it is hoped
that they will not violate the
terms of their parole. They
were not street gamins, but boys
of good parents and good train
ing. There might have been a
laxity of discipline, the reins
might have loosened on their go
ing and coming. At any rate
they went to the bad, step by
step. The world knew of their
first misdeads, but the parents
did not. The world shakes its
head hypocritically, and wags
its tongue unmercifully, but is
too cowardly to give the warn
ing to those who should and are
entitled to know. The guiding,
parental hand might have called
them back if it had only known,
possibly not. Give your boy
education, careful home training,
and instill in his mind high
ideals, and the chances are that
he won't go far wrong. This is
the safe way. Dexter Messen
ger. Charles Gaber, a buyer of Jer
seyville has acquired a six legged
hog as a mascot. The hog was
raised on the farm of the Vaughn
Brothers six in number three
miles east of Jerseyville. When
the cholera began to attack swine
the Vaughn Brothers decided to
sell the freak pig. Charles
Campbell of Jerseyville pur
chased him at the regular market
price of $5. CO a hundred and sold
the animal to Garber at a small
profit
Negro Saved From Mob By Ken
lucky Sheriff.
The St. Louis Times says a!
mob of several hundred whitf
men near Fulton, Ky., tried to
take Reaul Barfield, a negro,
from the sheriff last Monday
night and lynch him. The. ne
gro shot and killed Frank and
Lewis Ramsey, two white men
with families. When it was
learned that the sheriff had cap
tured the negro a mob gathered.
I The Sheriff stayed in the woods
j until midnight and rushed into
I Fulton just in time to catch a
j train for Paducah.. where the
negro was put in jail.
I Time To Act.
j We have hoard that twin dolls
! are coming in style. For heaven's
! sake let's not l't that idea get
I into the heads of children. If
t they are reared to such ideals
ithe time will soon come when
the population will increase
faster than the potato crop. An
(ordinary amount of mother in
jstinct, seasoned with sweet
(modesty, is a delightful thing
but well we think it unwise
this "twin d 11 fad. Bernie
Star.
Editor of The Star shows a
fatherly instinct for his sub
scribers by denouncing the "twin
doll fad." But while discussing
the propriety of dolls why not
mention the old-fashioned rag
doll that us editors once played
with, which has taught so
many to "chew the rag." Be
sides, the rag doll is not so ex
pensive as , these new-fangled
twins mentioned in the Star.
However, we refuse to elaborate
on the subject of twin babies;
they are the embodiment of
fashion and good taste in any
age, the expense in bringing
them up on a dollar a day salary
being the most undesirable fea
ture connected with twins. Fer
haps the editor of the Star is
sad because he has no twin
brother to take his place in the
event of death or deprivation of
his editorial faculties?
Orighi Of The Dog. -
It has been supposed that the
dog, like the jackal, descended
from a special race. Examina
tions of the skulls of the canidae
in the museum of the French
Academy of Sciences shows that
nearly all of the jackal and wolf
species differ from those of the
little wolf of India. The little
wolf of India is the only wiid
beast possessing the salient eye
brow or crest of the dog. The
little wolf has not only the dog's
eyebrow crest, but all the canine
characteristics and none of the
characteristics of the wolf. It
is presumable that the little wolf
of India was the original ances
tor of the dog. The two prim
itive canine races, the "dog of
the bogs and the dog of the age
of bronze," were domesticated
first in Asia and were introduced
into Europe from Asia, like most
of the domestic animals of Eu
rope. Harper's Weekly.
The Strength o! Rings.
Some elaborate calculations,
backed by experiments, have
been made to determine the
"breaking strength" of rings.
It appears that a ring of ductile
material like malleable iron will
be pulled out into the form of a
long link before it breaks, and
that the ultimate strength of the
ring is virtually independent of
its diameter. Fracture finally
occurs as the result oi almost
pure tension, and the resistance
.1 . 1 4
to breaking is a little less than
twice tliat of a rod of the same,
cross section subjected to a
I straight pull. As the ring in-
creases in diameter there ap
pears to be a slight approach
toward equality, with double the
strength of a bar. Thus a 3-inch
ring made of three-quarter-inch
iron broke at 19 tons; a four
inch ring at 19.9 tons, and a
G-inch ring at 20 tons, the
strength of a bar of the same
metal being 10i tons. - Harper's
Weekly.
Bachelors Issue Catalog.
Scarcity of niarriagable young
women in Grant County Kan.,
has caused the bachelors of the
county, which is thirty-five
miles from a railroad, to band
together to i,!;t am wives.
The catalogue of the organiza
tion, "Grant County, Bachelors'
Club, "gives the name and quali
fications of each of the thirty
five members. The catalogue
says:
"The purpose is to present a
list of good, honest men for the
women tired of single blessedness
to look over and pick from, as
suring them that only prizes will
be drawn."
The catalogue, which contains
photographs of each of the mem
bers and a list of property he
owns, is to be sent all over the
United States.

The New York American says:
Two roooms and a kitchenette
cause many a divorce, according
to Judge Conley of Los Angeles,
in which city there is one di
vorce to every three marriages.
When the Judge received the
county clerk's figures showing
this alarming record of broken
matrimonial ties, he declared
that the devil, aided by the re
stricted accommodations and the
idle life or the apartment house
women, was responsible for the
great divorce list He would seek
j to remedy it in this way
Let
the women kep in the open and
I take care of a flower or a vege
table garden,"and then he adds:
"Eighty per cent of the men in
California earn about $75.00 a
month and some women spend a
month's salary buying a f?ather
for their hats."

A special to the St. L. Times
from Springfield says : The
Court of Claims, Washington,
has allowed Greene county the
sum of $6010 rental for use of
the county court house and jail
during the Civil war. The old
court house was used a haspital

Rabbits Are Dying From Peculiar
Disease.
I Our young friend J. F. Aubu
iehon, of near French Village,
was in Farmington yesterday
and reports the rabbits aie dying
Jin large numbers in their local
ity from some peculiar and un
j known disease, believed by some
j to be tuberculosis. We have also
heard several others comment on
this matter. In fact, while out
hunting ourselves, we have often
lately come upon dead rabbit,
but thought nothing of it, sup
posing it had been injured by
some hunter. Farmington News
An Exchange says a hog was
recently on exhibition at Colum
bia which stands thirty inches
high, measures eleven inches
around the smallest part of the
leg, measures seven feet and
four inches around the body and
nine feet from the tip of the
nose to the end of the tail and
weighs 1,100 pounds. This is
said to be one of the largest hogs
in the State.
W. il. Angel brought to the
Critic office a few days ago, a
buffalo fish that had no mouth,
which was caught by Will Clif

Mr.Clif ton reports having caught

about 14 inches long. Its only
means of sustenance, was draw
