What can you expect the school to do
ia the six hoars your child is there
if it has to fight street corner influence?

the pupils have done excellent, work
while the others have been afflicted
with laziness. About half of the
ninth graders have been successful
Workers while the other half has been
fltful, sometimes working *well and
And other times doing bub little.
Our two ninth graders, Rex DeVogt
%e 14, and Ethel McKinnon age iff,
,Who recently passed high enough to
pass for a teacher's third grade certificate are not afflicted in any way with
A sense Of their own importance but
continue pegging away with the same
earnestness as of old.

Do good constantly, patiently and
wisely and you will never 'have cause
to say that life was not worth living.
Melancholy spreads itself betwixt
heaven and earth like envy between
man and man and is an everlasting
mist.
When a person becomes too good to
overlook the unfortunate, he makes
the error which loses to him the glory
of his goodness.
If there were nothing but showers
we would conclude the world would
be drowned. If nothing but sunshine
we would fear the world would be
burned.
The essence of true nobility is neglect of self. Let the thought of self
pass in, and the beauty of a great
action is gone like the bloom from a
soiled flower.
SHOT DEAD.
Stanley Chappie Accidently Killed
While Hunting Sunday.
A sad fatality occured about half
past three o'clock Sunday afternoon
nine miles northwest of Clare, Stanfey
Chappie, a lad of seventeen, being the
victim.
Ora Dawson, Burt Beek, Albert
Herrick and Stanley Chappie took the
former's horse and light wagon and
started hunting about six o'clock
Sunday morning. They returned
home about six o'clock in the evening
and an inquest was immediately held,
Justice A. E. Maynard officiating,
with a jury composed of Charles Johnson, Henry Alger, A. R. Can field.
Clinton Schoonover, R. M. Mussell
and Frank Mooney,
The three boys gave testimony
which, though conflicting in details,
convinced the jury that the shooting
was accidental and their verdict was
accordingly rendered.
From the evidence it was shown
that at the time of the accident
Dawson sat on a box used for a seat
in the front end of the wagon eating
his lunch.. Herrick was about forty
rods to the north, the wagon being
headed to the east. Beek was in tbe
woods a mile or so away. Chappie
stood on the end of the reach projecting two feet from the hind end of
the wagon. Stanely was in the habit
of carrying his double barreled gun
both bamnmrs up and it is thought he
slipped from the reach just as be
went to put his gun into the wagon,
the muzzel pointed toward him. He
said nothing when the gun was discharged, but stepped three steps back
and fell, breathing but a few times.
Tbe gun was found with one barrel
empty and the hammer yet up of the
undischarged barrel. The charge
took effect in the right breast, immediately opposite the heart.
Stanley Chappie was a boy who had
a great many noble qualities. He
worked in the Althouse factory and
during his mother's illness he was ever
mindful of her wants, as he was those
of the younger memoers of the family.
He was steady, sober and industri*-
ous, and since the death of bis mother
a few months ago, together with his
father, he had purchased a home in
"Vernon and was paying for it on the
Installment plan—$10 per month.
That he Is gone is a surety as it Is that

To Boys.
Not long ago a Chicago paper told
the story of a man who had his hand
iniured in such a way that before it
could become fully restored it would
be necessary to graft upon it pieces
of skin taken from the bodies of other
healthy persons. He advertised for
twenty boys for this purpose, with the
proposition to pay for one square inch
of sMn from each to be grafted upon
the hand of the injured man. A large
number of boys offered themselves,
and after examining 180 of them be
found only two or three who could be
accepted, and finally gave up the attempt. What-was the matter? Cig-
aret smoking. The health of the boys
and their physical system had been so
injured by the habit of using cigarets
that they were wholly unfitted for any
Ordeal of this kind. Just think of it,
only two or three out of 180 boys in
their proper normal health, ahd all
due to this wholly unnecessary and
despicable habit.
Is it worth while thus to allow our
selves to become a slave of a pernicious habit,~a habit so injurious and
destructive to physical manhood, and
makes us a prey of other diseases?
The same story is told by the examinations made for the service in the
army during the late war. Many
were rejected because of injuries and
weakness, due to fast bicycle riding,
and many others on account of weak-'
hesses due to tbe use of cigarets.
See to it, boys, that everything that
will tend to lower or degrade your
manhood be avoided. You cannot afford to run thft risk.—Timely Topics.
