The attendence was large and a very pleasant evening was spent by all. Miss Opal Brlggs was a club visitor. In a recent evamination In Geogra phy the following question was given: Name 12 animals of the Polar regions. One boy scratched his head, thought hard for a few minutes, and then wrote ''Six seals and six polar bears. Miss Grace Cypert and Frank Tyler of the review class took the teachers examination, and both passed. They have both secured schools. Frank Tyler commenced school at Pine school house, on Butter Creek, last Monday, and Miss Cypert vill com mence her school a few miles north of town, in a short time. In one of the lower grades, all the children were asked to bring to class a short original composition about some article they saw in daily use. Following is a sample: "The needle is a sewing tool. It Is composed of two parts the point and the eye. The eye is made of air, and is what we stick the thread through. The point is made of steel and is what you stick through the cloth." The professor was giving a lecture on "Early Rome and the Romans" "These hardy men" he said " think nothing of swimming across the Tiber three times before breakfast." Sud denly a loud laugh came from the cen ter of the class, and the Professor, amazed at this Interruption, angerly asked the pupil what he meant by such conduct. " I was just thinking sir, that the poor Roman chaps would find themselves on the wrong side for their clothes when they landed." The debators are doing fine work.

The debate takes place next Friday after noon at 3 o'clock. Since the weather has become pleas ant out door basket ball has become the chief source of amusement for the girls at school. The largest girls have organized two teams and the medium Lized girls have two teams. A good ground with good protections on the ends has been fitted up so that the game can be played to a better advan tage than before. We hold that next In importance to books, If not in some respects of first importance for pupils at school, Is good healthful exercise. We believe fhat basket ball properly played is one of the nicest and best of games. The medium sized boys are' Leack A IIllt to be Uncounted. The mother who has acquired the habit of keeping on hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves herself a great amount of uneasiness and anxiety.

Some would have It that the person who gathers together much money has made a success in life, others that he who has attained high political honors is the one who has been successful, and many other ideas exist, but we hold that he has attained the highest suc cess who lives his life in such a way as to enable others to live their lives bet ter.
