THFJ ORIGINAL SIS HOPKINS (Rase Melville) , - , . m . "SHE CAME, SHE-SAW, SHE CONQUERED" Tomorrow Only Mary Miles Minter in "DIMPLES" Put the teachers all to flight. She says that school's a cruelty And it surely isn't right To go to school in clay time , And study half the night. Of course there's noon and' recess When she gets a little play, ; And some times has some fun in school When the teachers are away. When paper wads come whizzing by And spit 'balls past you hum; The kids ell got a breathing spell And, chance to chew their gum. The teacher's foot sounds on the staii1 She steps inside the door: 'But every ihcad bends o'er a book As busy as oeioae. Then through the school room silence reigns For half an hour or so, Until at last the bell will ring And out the children go. So glad at 4ast that they are free, And who could blame this maid , If she does stop outside the gate To play with Adelaide? After supper she sits down And turns her history cover, Looks at her speller in dispair And says, "I wish 'twas over." But hearts like hers can always rise So she is blythe and gay, And talks and laughs and tells of things That happened through the day. : Until the evening soon is spent And mother dear has said, "Come children, put your books away It's time to go to bed." , The teacher scolds (her hard next day; It is a dreadful shame. She didn't know her history well But how was she to blame ? ' She'd like to quit the whole concern Before she's any bigger; ' She'd love to be a drygoods clerk But pshaw! she hates to ngure. I'm sure she wouldn't make a cook, She hates to wash the disnes; And so she has to go to .school . Tho it's against iher wisnes. . La Grande, Oregon. . NELLIE BRIGGS. . TUT.

HOME 1 GOMES E 10 THE FRONT CONSIDERABLY Some time ago the Observer in augurated a "Home Made Poetry" column. Today a group of iresponses are publish below. My Sixtieth Birthday. (Dedicated to Bro. Frank at Cold springs, N. Y.) Down the rapids of the river of life, Days, months, years, three-score today Sixty of these mystery pages turned, , Sixty changing seasons gone their way. Three-score times the cherries bloomed, Sixty winters with the hail and . snow, ; ' 1 Sixty summers witii their harvest sheafs, ' Sixty autumns with their crimson glow. Out from the depth of eternity's realm The cycle of time takes its course, Our life' is a whirl in boundless space A voyage that ends at its source. Our allotted time three-score and ten The road ahead will be short and steep. But we fear it less as we near the end. We will sleep where our fathers sleep. t Nature" will temper the cold bleak iwind, As life's clock nears the final stroke. There will be no sting, no shadow of death, It will be as rest 'neath a shady oak. Old age brings us no horror of death, No clammy touch, no darkness, or night, 1 Our life goes out as the stars of the sky Hidden by morning's superior light. Wihen we think of the millions yet un born, Of the millions more since time begun, We know all birthdays measure the same Whether sixty, one hundred, or only one. We had no choice in our birthday dates, The itmnd of fate no mortal can stay. Inscrutable Deity spoke us to life, in its own time it will speak us away. At the end the Stork and Raven will meet Where death will come as came the birth. We yield ns then to omnipotent strength, We give back our part of evolving earth.

SuDDOse theVe things are all quite h is a regular old hoo-doo, Are you broadening your mind in any way , , , To repeat some gossip of what "They Say?" This man or woman whom you talk about May enter with ease where you are left out; . For sometimes an exterior though quite dim Conceals a brillian gem within. This world of ours is a busy place It will keep us busy keeping pace, If we do what's requjred of us today We have' not time to repeat wnai "Thev Snv." Our time is given to us here, To improve ourselves trom year ui So our lives may bo blessings from day to day And not a. repeater of what 'They Say." . La Grande, Ore. EDNAH ELLISON HUMPHREYS.

You want a ' car that will climb hills, that will get . away quickly without laboring and s straining its every part Not all cars can do these things,, but you know that the Maxwell can. because you have the proof. When the Maxwell stock touring1. ' car set the World's Motor Non-Stop Mileage Record a few weeks ago, it encountered all sorts of unfavorable conditions rain, mud and hills, over country and city roads yet it cov ered 500 miles per day, day after day, for more than six weeks. Power, plenty of power, unfailing power, is absolutely essential to such a wonderful performance as this. Let us give you a booklet telling all the details of this record breaking Maxwell car. And let us tell you , about pur partial payment plan, by means of which you can make a cash deposit and pay the balance while you use the car. Give us the oppor tunity and we'll prove our case. : ""Vj Touring ar, $655 Roadster,' $635 .. Prlcoa F. O, B. Dct.olt R. W.

(M and Fourth) Fall and winter schedule of ser ices: Low mnss( Sunday, a. m. ser- New York April 7. The seventh round . of the Willard-Moran battle in Madison Square Garden March 25 was fast but not half as fast as tho fight talk the fans are now indulging in. Buzz, buzz, buzz, Willard this and. Willard that, Moran this and Moran that, goes the gossip where the ring side fantaus and the rafter raaairds ; foregather. Tho bout busted the gossip j wide open, Some think it was a great fight, some think it was rotten; some are for ten-round championship bouts every week, others think they should be abolished altogether. "As a result of the brutal, d grad ing exhibition, of the brute in man at the Willard-Moran fight," boxing should forever be abolished in New York, says one clan. "The boutl shows conclusively that tho city wants boxing and wants it bad. To give the people what diey pay for the state should at onco permit twenty-round bouts with decisions," is the conclusion of another. In between, it a host, and each of the host has an idea of his own. Out of the turmoil few things stand plain. The mill shook New York as no other ; fight in history has, Tom Jones, whose i man, Willard got away with more, than half a hundred thousand dollars, i thinks it was a wonderful fight, per fectly staged and arranged and he I would luce to seo things like it re cur frequently. The persons who think it was worth the money are those who paid to see ! it. The persons kicking the hardest didn't see tho mill and probab.ly don't know whether tte schappers used their hands or feet.
