Miss Rose Winslow received a postal
card from one of the 0. A. C. girls. The
following is an extract from it: ''We
girls all want to go to Chemawa but we
don't want to play very bad for we do
not expect to win from you. Nearly
every one in school wants to go with us
for they all like you girls so much bet
ter than any other team we girls played."
T. S.
The object for which we strive tells the
story of our lives.
There are a hundred successful men for
one that is contented.
Without economy none can be rich and '
with it none can be poor.
Better believe yourself a dunce and
work away than a genius and be idle.

For , one who can not thoroughly re
spect himself the high and abiding con
fidence is impossible, -'"''
