The youth no more the Ice caeam sign Doth dodge in every place; But now the oyster sign Is up And stares him In the face. There is an old axiom that says, he that lives on love deserves to die In a ditch. "The man from Missouri" says he never yet has seen a man do either. . i SCHOOL NOTES A high school girl gave her father, the following sentence to punctuata "A five dollar bill flew around the cor ner." "Well" he said "I simply put a period after It like this."' "I would 'nt "said the girl" I'd make a dash after It." Considerable sickness has noticeab ly decreased the attendance this week. The present nice weather has made the conditions very favorable for Bask et Ball. Two outfits are being used one by the girls and one by the boys. The school boys will try a turn with the town and hope to give a fair ac count of themselves. Hard work at practice Is being done by the pupils preparing for the enter tainment Friday night.. The play is exceedingly funny and if you want a gopd laugh come and see It.
