L'fe is labor. Oura to conquer, '
Tl ouirh the way seem l.ard and Ion;.
Greet each ann that brings the morrow.
With a happy, hopeful aong.
We must labor so that even
Finds us with our duties done ;
Storms gather thick to stay na,
Will fly like mist before the sun.
Alt our tisks tht loom before us,
Like jrreal mountains rising high.
We can prove to be but foot hills,
And surmount them if we t-y.
Thtn 1ft us work for day is fading,
Swiftly p'lss the hours away ;
AM our work must be completed,
E're we pace through endless day,
Up then clasHmates on to battle,
Swiftly p ms the hour-butyet
There if time for us to conquer,
E're the golden buti shall set.
When our work on earth is ended,
And to each duty we'vo been true;
M:iy we he among the crowned ones.
We, the class of nine-fen-two.

ingand killing the innocent birds
Finally nil tbe remaining birds called a
great convention to talk the matter over
and to provide for their mutual protection.

tie rouBt be gotten rid of, so the birds chose
a band of magpies to do what they could
toward the getting rid ofSiipputiie, These
magpies bad a magic loat and they de
cided to deceive Supputtie, and beguile
her away from the lovely forest, their
home. Ho they went to Supputtie who
whb standing near the river and asked her
to go for a boat ride. Now Hupputtie was
very found of going out on the water and
not thinking of being'deceived, she stepped
in and they rode away over the silvery
waters. The magpies took her a I on, loug
way from bonie.
Then they began singing, and as soon as
thev began singing a terrific storm arostt
and such afog settled that Supputtie Could
not tell where ft he was, and, of course, was
terribly frightened, Tn the midst of her
distress the man pies ail flw away and I aft
