To- live we must work, and the kind
of lives we are living depends entirely
on the way we work. Would you like to
live a comfortable life? Then be faithful
in your work as its results will bring
you happiness.-
"Keep your temper," should be the
motto of our baseball players, t was
the general opinion of those who wit
nessed the game last Saturday that the
score would have been in our fa vor had
the boys kept cool. When an error is
made, that is no reason why one should
get discouraged and give up the game.
It should be an incentive to try all the
more to recover lost ground. Our boys
should consider these things and try 'to
pull together for the best interests of all.
Some School Room Notes.
Dont waste time.
What ever you ha ve to do
''Do it quid; and do it well.'"
Don't, prompt. Stand on your own
merit and let your clasp mates do the
same.
Don't be a parrot. A parrot waits for
its master to speak and then imitates
him. Don't be that way with your
teacher, but think for yourself .
Don't be eye servers. If your teacher
should be called from the room for a
moment, apply . yourselves to your
studies the harder during her absence.
Don't idle. When your teacher is ex
plaining an intricate problem to you give
her close attention. You may be smart
and know it all but she may say some
thing you ought to know.
Cigarette smokers who claim that the
purest rice paper only is used for cigar
ettes will be interested in the following
from a school teacher who says in che
Clarion, (Iowa) Monitor: "On last
Tuesday one of my boys came to school
with two packages of cigarette papers.
We put them into a pint bottle, and
, nearly filled it with water. ByjThursday
it was a thick solution, so thick that the
liquid would hardly run out of the bot
tle. The boys caught a mouse and
gave him about a third of a teaspoon
ful. He never lived to leave the boy's
hands. The boys declared it was poison
ous but the girls declared tha' the boys
squeezed it so hard that it died. So on
Friday they came to school with three
sparrows and two mice. ' We took them
one at a time4 and gave them a third of
a teaspoonful. The birds fle,v around
the room a short time, then fell helpless
on the floor, and died in ten minutiv.
The mice ran around the room for a while
as though nothing had gone wrong, tl.en
fell into a (it, from which they never re
covered. This should be a lesson to the
boys who smoke cigarettes." The Indian
Leader. '
