WISDOM TEETH.

Life, however short. is made still shorter
by waste of time.
Courtesy is the art of taking your fellow
creatures by the right handle instead OF
the wrong.
Talebearers and tale hearers are alike
guilty. The one hath the devil in his tongue,
the other in his ear.
There is no better way to bring your own
worth into question than to detract from
the worth of other men.
Endure and dare, true heart. Through
patience Joined with boldness come we at
crown encircled with thousand blessings.
If strict justice be not the rudder of all
our other virtues, the faster we sail the
farther we shall find ourselves from that
haven where we would be.
Whose neglects a thing which he sus
poets he ought to do because it seems to
him so small thing is deceiving himself.
1t is not too little, but too great for him
that he doeth it not.
Let us not defame others-for such in
jury there is no after recompense. We
cannot follow a lie at the heels to recover
credit taken away as we can follow Il thief
to recover goods taken away.-Family Her

POSTMASTER GENERAL BIssELL doesn't
endorse the idea of the government run
ming the telegraph lines of the country in
the Postofice department. and he has
written a letter to Chairman Wise of the
house commerce committee, giving his
reasons. He thinks the postofice depart
meut has all that ii can do justice to in ex
tending and perfecting the mail facilities
Of the country, and that the expense of a
telegraph system would be out of all pro-
portion to the benefit that would be de-
rived therefrom by the people.

or slept for IS hours, and they looked 1t
too.
Come in said Mr.. Anderson.
But there is Il price on every head
here that would make you rich if you
We're to tell of our whereabouts"
Never mind, said Anderson. You
are starving, and shall not take advan-
tage of your condition. Come in and eat
a bite and go to sleep. You will not be
disturbed"
They ate like wolves and then went to
bed in the barn. They slept SO hours,
ate again and slept II more hours, which
showed that they were somewhat IA
tigued. Then they thanked Anderson,
for they had no money, and went away.
Three years afterward Anderson came
home one evening to find that in his alb
sence the house had been entered. and
things were scattered all over the room.
In the middle of the floor stood pam
full of wheat. which he told the boy to
carry back to the granary or give to the
hens. He poured out the grain and at
the bottom of the pan found 81 900 in
$50 goldpieces, with the compliments of
his old guest.
Still I would not advise a man to move
to Kansas and take up q farm with the
idea of getting $1,000 per year in this
way because some years he might be
disappointed.
An odd thing, about the Indian Terri
tory is that the Cherokees owned negro
slaves before the war, and when these
were emancipated they had the same
rights as the Indians and could take up
land and also receive from the govern
ment various allowances which have
made many of them rich.
So it's queer, queer complexion that
society has here. l was introduced to
tall, good looking girl in white the other
day, a student and up on everything
from Walt Whitman to the Heavenly
Twins yet she was descendant of an
old chief.
There are few blanket Indians here in
sight, and they show no desire to plunge
their hands into the gore of the white
man except when accused of being white
strippers from Arkansas.

have promptly ordered out the militia
to protect prisoners whenever called on by

anything but rape. That is Il crime which
in my opinion places any man beyond the

High School Commencement.
THE 10TH ANNUAL EXERCISE AN IN
TERESTING ONE.

THE 10TH ANNUAL EXERCISE AN IN
TEREsTING ONE.
A packed house greeted the gradual
ing class last Wednesday night. Every
available seat was taken and at eight
O'Clock the crowd was so great that
many were obliged to go away. Re-
served seat tickets were issued to the
relatives of the graduates, who took up
almost the entire centre aisle and half
of each side.
The exercises this year were exceed
ingly interesting and the well arranged
program was feature which seemed
to please all present. Probably this
was owing more than usual to the ex-
cellent vocal talent, Miss Nan Gull
ingwOrth, of Chester, Pa, who has
greeted Smyrna audience before, made
the same pleasing impression that she
has always done. Her high notes were
clear and distinct and she had a happy
faculty of keeping her trained voice
under proper control. The Quartette
composed Of Messrs. w. o. Hoffecker,
J. Ed. HOtfecker, John A. Hoffecker
and l.. M. Price gave some striking
selections, while now and then the
tenor voices would alternate in singing
some sweet solo.
There were only six graduates this
year: John l.. Truax, Cora A. Van
SAINT, John S. Anthony, NJ. Edith Beck,
Helen G. Ringgold and Margaret Rob
inson. Each one took a special part in
the program, Only four essays were
given, The salutatory Of Cora Van
SAINT was marked by dignity of style, as
well as vigor of thought, aud received
as it deserved, great credit.
Miss Helen G. Ringgold had an essay
OF fine conception clothed 10 choice Ian
guage, which dealt, mainly, in
classical architecture and the influence
of fine arts on individuals and COM
munitles. Her utterance was pitched
on the higher key which could, be dis
tinctly heard at the rear benches of the
Opera House, and she was warmly ap-
plauded when she finished. An anus
ing incident TO part of the audience,
was, when picturing the effects of cult
ure among the acknowledgements
In contra distinction to monarchy in
governments-a considerable portion
OF the adienoe COMPOUNDED the generic
use of the word with the specific name
of party of to-day, though separated
by thousands of years, and broke out
in vociterous applause as If it were a
campaign stump speech. It was the
more noticeable, as at two other times
during the evening, in the use of the
word, a similar manifestation of feeling
occurred.
The valedictory by John l., Truax
and the honor grafton of John 5.
Anthony showed evidence of genuine
originality and were we'll handled.
The other two graduates, Miss Edith
Beck and Margaret Robinson, gave
declamations and acquitted themselves
with more than usual excellence. The
manner and gestures were easy and
their voices were pitched to the right
infection.
Prof A. Duncan Yocum, principal of
the High School, was unable to be
present, owing to sickness, so his part
in the program had to be omitted
John H, Hofecker, president of the
School Board, made the presentation
speech and awarded the Diplomas. after
which he introduced Rev. Thomas L..
Poulson, d, d., of Jamaica, T.. /. as
the speaker of the evening.
Mr.. PoULsoS's ADDRESS.
Mr., Poulsop started by giving a warm
