Old Pioneer Passes Away ,
Samuel E McAlevy died at his

1'Ybi ua'10. . . 1905 , of pneumonia ,
after a sickness of only a few days ,
at the age of 69 years. Mr. Mc
Alevy has lived in Cherry county
a number of years , most of which
time near Kennedy potoffice.

Mr. . W. ! I. Kennedy , living near

Mr. McAlevy has lived for some

here from Iowa j ears ago when
the country was first being settled
up. lie was highly respected by
all of his neighbors , and in factal
who knew Mr. McAlevy revered
him and is said to have been
without a single enemy in tho
whole country , though well known
by all the settlers for miles around.
Our sympathies are extended to
the bereaved family. Cherry
county has lost another good citi
zen who will be missed by his
friends and their lives be made
more lonely by his demise.
The 'weather was cold and severe
but numerous friends gathered for
miles arwund to do honor and pay
their last respects to the departed
neighbor and counselor.
Child Cruelty ,
Liitlc Joe Krauer , in a New
York school , appears really to
have died of heart failure a
"broken heart , " as the old saying
is as the result of grief and shame
at the taunts of his schoolmates
because he had failed to pass an
examination.
A word of bitter scorn was
hurled at him , which cut him to
the soul. He blanched , fainted ,
revived , went bravely on ; the
taunts were renewed , and he fell
lead.
Maybe thlboy was unduly sen
sitive. But this would be no reas
on to other boys to spare him , but
ulded reason r.o taunt him
Boys are the most heartless of
barbarians.
The more sensitive and poetic a
ih i Id is the more capacity he has
for suffering , and the more cruel
md constant therefore will be the
ridicule heaped upon him.
There is no tyranny in the world
.
o heart-breaking and despotic as
hat of the bigger boy. It is not
3ften that the strong heart of
i'outh actually fails under it or the
) uoyant spirit breaks , but the
) ther things that are killed in a
f
X.v who can measure them ? x
Unless he is of the finest texture
md has the bravest soul the child
s apt to be molded into the worst
kviys : by cruelty. To escape it he
vill himself assume an air of
-oughness and do the things that
he mob admires Child cruelty
nakes thou-ands of young offend-jo
jrs and starts the.m on the road to 1
