Brain, Le,' ks
You can not down a man who uses
failures for building stones. ;
A lot of men have lost character by
striving to build up reputation.
The man who spends all of his time
boasting of his ancestry is not giving hi
prosperity an equal show.
If the women ever strike for eight
hours, a whole lot of men will go to
working over time without pay.
For many years the Chi-mnwa band
has been an entertaining feature at Glad
stone Park, and last year the rumor was
made that the disappointment of music
lovers who were expecting to hear the
music of our school band was great But
at that time our band w.ts furnishing
music at the Lewis and Clark fav, and
while there won the world's praise. We
regret to say that the present members
of our band are beginners, with the ex
ception of two or three and that is the
reason why we did not send our band to
Chautauqua this year. But these would-

ly. We ha ve already heard the outsiders
who listened to our band and our
band boys will soon be capable of play
ing in public more extensively than
they have heretofore.

Smiles
When you're feelin' grouchy

Don't be afraid of wrink'es,
Tear loose with your mirth;
An old face laughter-wrinkled
Is the sweetest thing on earth. Ex.
"The busy man may be tempted by
one devil, but the loafer is tempted by a
dozen."

makes you think that?" Asked her
father. "Because I found a feather in
my bed," was the reply. Ex.
To the Back-biter
Never speak ill of any one, unless you
are perfect yourself. (?)
It does not f how good manners and be
sides people have a poor opinion of a gos
sip. Look for your own faults and mistakes
before Milking about your neighbors and
by doing so you may change your mind.
Speak of the good things you know of
them and you will be rewarded. "Don't
be a back-biter." Alice Williams,
