A lasiness relations with The Small Boy's Cigarette. There is a law in this state that for bids the sale of tobacco in any form to minors. It even specifies that tobacco is not to be given to minors under 10 years of age. The law is especially aimed at the cigaretts habit. It is unnecessary to say that little or no attention it paid to this law. Cigarettes are sold at any tobacconist's to any lad of good size who asks for them; they are kept in the school supply stores; they are given by thought less men to the boys of their acquain tance. We have a remarkable way in this country of making laws which we never take the trouble to enforce. It all goes to prove that arbitrary legislation does not reform. Moral matters must be met in another way. It is the parent and not the stats that can keep the child from smoking or chewing tobacco. It is foolish and dangerous to make law9 for the young that are not enforced, f.ir if the children become aware of the fact that they are breaking one law with impunity, they will hastily arrive at the conclusion that all can be treated with the same contempt. The small boys who parade our streets. swelling with a consciousness of their iauntv cigarettes are proof enough of the open lailinerence wild which the law referred to is regarded. Omaha Herald. A Fire For a Dinner Settler. Just after 1 o'clock today as most peo pla were taking up their vocations for the afternoon, struggling under the de- presion of a malarious April sunshine and a hearty Nebraska dinner, the fire bell sounded the alarm for fire in the Fourth ward. Almost instantly the Sec ond and Third ward hose carts were on the move and were soon fastened to wagons with heayy teams attached and were on the run to the scene of the fire. Granite and Third streets were reached in just four minutes and a half from the first stroke of the bell, and there the cry "Fire's out," turned them back. But the boys kept up their record of being prompt with the hose cart and ready for service and many hearty dinners were settled. As to the fire, it was on the roof of the two-story frame house belonging to Con O'Connor, located at the foot of Winter steen hill by the B. A M. yards. The house was occupied by Mrs. O'Rilcy and as there was no fire in the house it is sup posed to have caught from a spark from an engine. A boy named Fred Denson, who was digging dirt nearby, discovered the fire and gave the alarm at the house, and the men near by, who, not knowing the extent of the fire, sent him up town with the alarm. The fire was put out with a couple of buckets of water, and damage is slight. Excuseable. Lincoln Journal: A schoolmaster of Burslem lately received the following note of apology: "Will yu pies exkews my son Fred for not cumming tu skoole this mornin. He is ded. Widow II. , washerwoman."

Why It Happens- Lincoln Journal: "Goto the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise," is the adyice all young folks get from their parents, and then when the girl sees the antelope and comes home and runs off with the coachman, they blame her.

A letter was dropped into the letter box at the Auburn postoffice recently, bound for Boston, with the stamp fast ened on with a pin. It was pushed through the stamp near the right side, thence through the envelope and its con tents to the back side, and back again to the front. It was stronger than the com mon lot of pin3 or it would never have stood the pressure. Boston Herald. They Were Little Girls. Master Burrill was an old time teacher in the town of Fairfield. A writer in The Somerset Reporter says that he used to punish naughty whispering girls by "bearding them" that is rubbing his unshaven chin with a week's stubble on it down their pretty cheeks.
