bad climbed tho Rockies hand In hand and
ho had never onco forgotten to nsk be
tween steps whether or no sho was tired
with tho accompanying endearments. They
had enjoyed exactly tho samo viands at
meal time nnd had taken long; moonlight
drlv'os together.
.Tho bitter hour Anally enmo co Tuesday,
however, when they must part for a wholo
day. Mr. Newlywed had to go to a neigh
boring town on business. His wife went to
tho train with him. Together thoy paced
the platform while ha told her again and
again how ho would think only of her on
the trip, and sho vowed to keep ills memory
green.
Tho train started. With nn affectionate
erobraco ho left her.
"By Jove, I thought I saw Minnie on tho
train," soliloquized, tho groom. .
He made a pllgrlniago through tho cars
nd Anally found hts old sweetheart. As

sclonco gavo Just tho slightest Jerk, whllo
a smllo of pity played on his face ns ho
thought how tho "dear one" would break
her heart If sho know. Hut with a manly
devotion ho vowed "never to tell her, never
to let her know."
Mrs. Newlywed, with tears In Iter eyes,
turned slowly toward the depot, 'but at tho
eight of a well known form sho gave a cry
of delight. It was Jack, Jack who had
gono away a year ago to rocuperato from her
"no." . With womanly pity sho strovo to
mako him forget his past sorrows. But poor
Jim, who was dutifully thinking ouly or
her! Well, poor Jim! ho should never

PUNISHING SCHOOL PUPILS
II. A. Itoiut C'oiui' to the llefeiiNC of
Mm, I.iirriiliue, u 'lYiii'hi'r III
Ccntrnl .School.
OMAHA, April 13. To the Editor of Tho
Bee: Tho first artlclo on tho first pago of
Tho Evening Beo of April 13 may do great
Injury to our Omaha school teachers, and
ono In particular, If tho reports of lll-trcat-incnt
of pupils nro to bo taken seriously. As
tho father ot ono of tho boys mentioned In
tho artlclo I strongly object, ns ho also does,
to having his namo coupled with thow of
children reported ns having "been forcibly
punished ,by Mrs. Larrabeo." This teacher
hns never In any wny punished Ralph Doud,
and ho has no grlovanco ngalnst her, but only
against Tho Beo, which bo strangely, though
porhnps unwittingly, exaggerates Mrs. Lnr
raboo's courtv In dealing with other offend
ers. I have never met this teacher and enn only
estimate her efficiency by tho excellent prog
ress my boy has made In her room. I have
observed that ho has received whlto cards
every month sluce entering her room nnd
seems to enjoy his school work remarkably.
If you will pardon n word of friendly criti
cism from ono who for yeara roDorted for a
city dally In Pennsylvania, I would like to
challenge tho propriety ot Interviewing on
tho street children under 12 years us to how
their teachers behavo themselves. Really,
now, knowlnt: children as you do, would it
not bo wiser to Interview tho parents when
reports reach you of tho maltreatment of
their children by teachers?
I have watched with Interest the dally
llfo of mnny boys attending our ochools. I
don't want to forget that I was a boy onco
and enjoyed my pranks, hut I would not
blamo n teacher for meting out such punlsh
mont ns she and her principal ngrced was
necessary. Thero Is certainly far less cor
poral punishment than formerly, and I
suspect Homctlmes that the results nro not
altogether us satisfactory. As a general
proposition, howovcr, tho homo Is tho placo
for severe measures, and you will, I think,
ngrco that those who chafe most under
school discipline) como from homes whero
wholesome dlsclpllno is qulto unknown
I'erhaps our fathers wero too strict, but
mo PfrcntS In theso days go to the other
extreme. Otherwlso wo would not en
counter so mnny Inds on our streets till 10
o'clock nt night, smoking cigarettes and
using foul language.
If parents exercise so lax an authority
In thn moral trnlnlnir of their rhlldrpn. lrav-
)ng everything for tho public school, it Is
hardly to bo wondered that a teacher may
now nmi then have, occasion to lny n boy
out on tho floor. It Is enough to try any
one's patlenco to deal Justly and firmly with
a big roomfull ot children, no two of whom

OMAHA, April II. To tho Editor ot Tho
Bee: Seeing your article In Friday even
ing's paner In regard to our schools I would
m0 to say a fow words on tho subject.
To ono who will give tho matter any at-
I tcnllou It nt onco becomes evident that
many forms of government arc moro llko
thoso used In tho sixteenth century than
.what would bo expected In this enlightened
age. Think of tying towels und pasting
paper over tho mouths of thrsc llttlo folks.
Mnny children do not breatho well through
their nose and If the mouth Is covered Lut
little nlr can reach the lungs and serious
dnmage may result. Should a child nf
mine bo treated In this manner 1 should
Bltrely havo tho teacher arretted for Inhuman
and cruel treatment of children
Ono teacher In the Central school to my
kuowlediro trealx her nnnlls morn 111;,
i wonder If It over occurred to this teacher
I . , , " ' " ' ,
Bucli treatment ard that tbey will remember
8Uch cruci assertion with feelings nf nnin
and sorrow as long ns thoy live'
I know tho teacher has u hnrd life from
personal exporieueo and It is far from my
Intention to find fault, but thero are somo
things bo grievous that It Is hnrd to ro-n-nln
quiet.
K correctly reported Superintend nt Pc.-who
In a recent address to tho teachers to'd them
that If they could not get tho confidence
of their pupils nnd lovo their work, forget
ting self nnd all else save the wclfnro und
good of tlicmo whom thoy sought to Instruct,
they had mimed tholr calling nnd should
seek other vocations. Judged by this stand
nrd fiomo of our teachers are certainly not
In the places Intended for thom by nature.

(I lift- III. Own.
Saturday afternoon an old man, feeble
nnd Infirm, wns dragged out of a covered
wagon standing on n vacnnt lot near Four
teenth nnd William streets nnd assaulted
by a ruffian. Not content with kicks and
blows tho ruffian looted tno wagon nnd laid
wnsto tho old man's supply of provisions,
An hour afterward tho victim of this out
rugo called nt tho police station and sworo
out a warrant for tho arrest of his assailant
Thero Is n good deal of tho Irony of
fato In (ho fact that tho unfortunnto old
man, John Walsh by name, one of Omaha's
earliest pioneers, wns denied tho tight to
"camp out" upon ground which was onco
his In fco simple. Ho located In Omaha
In 1853 nnd during tho succeeding decade
acquired considerable real estate In tho vi
cinity of Fourteenth nnd Wllllnra streets.
Later, through a series of Ill-advised specu
lations, ho lost it all and now ho Is a pub
lic charge.
It has been some tlmo slnco old John
Walsh had a home. Several times ho has
been scut to tho county fenn, but ho doesn't
llko It thero and refused to remain. So.
when tho weather turned warm thin .nrlnu
n kind-henrtcd friend who hnd known him
in moro prosperous times, fitted hhn out
with an old covered wagon nnd nt Ills re
quest hauled It Into tlu vacant lot. the
center of the tract to which ho onco held the
title deed.
