FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE HoWLERY GRoWLERY ROOM

1t doesn't pay to be cross.
It's not worth while to try It.;
For Mammys eyes so sharp
Are very suye to spy It,;
A pinch on i3illy's arm,
a snarl or q sullen gloom,
No longer we stay, but must up and away
To the Huwlery Growlery room.
Chorus, HI! the Howlery! no, the GrowI-
ery!,
Hal the sniffery. snarlery. scowl-
cry!
There we may stay,
II we choose, all day:
Rut it's only a smile that can bring
us away.
II Nanny catches mo
A-pitching into Billy;
II Billy breaks my whip.
Or scares my rabbit silly:
It's Make it up. boys, quickI
Or else you know your doom!"
We must kiss and be friends. or the squab-

In the Howlery Growlery room.
Chorus. HI! the Howiery! hol the Growi-

Ha! the sniffery. snarlery. scowl-
cry!
There we may stay,
If we choose all day:
But it's only smile thatcan bring
us away.
So 1t doesn't pay to be bad
There's nothing to be won in It:
And when you come to think,
There's really not much fun In II.
So, come! The sun is out,
The lilacs are all a-bloom.
Come out and play, and Wen keep away
From the Howlery Crowley room.
Chorus. Hi! the Howlery! no! the Growl-

There we may stay,
If we choose all day;
But it's only smile that can bring

His First Trip Abroad.

1t was on an outgoing ocean steamer
and the questioner was an American OF
the Americans.
whats the ship stopping for?" he
demanded of the first officer.
ITO let the pilot off," was the reply.
''Let the pilot Off" in shrill incre-
dulity. "Do you mean that he doesn't
cross the ocean with us and direct the
course?"
81 mean just that"
The American pondered awhile and
then, smiling with satisfaction as the
bright idea struck him: Il suppose he
sets the rudder pointing in the right
direction before he leaves."-N. Y.

"Mr. Williams and I have thought

the little pastors wife, who had sat hal!
smiling, half sweeping, but at the same
time busily stitching away on childs
apron during Miss Mehetabels lengthy
discourse. "We both think you ought
not 10 live here alone as you have been
doing, when there are hundreds OF
destitute children who need just such
love and care as you are able to give. A

THE o CAN LIE.

The amateur photographer who is also
an angler is well aware that his camera
will back him up when boasting of his

the ''take" was a little dace. or carp,
and while being photographed it had
been held very close to the lens. The

away.
One Of my authorities was once en-
gagged by both sides in a law case. A
company, which I will call the City
Lands Improvement company, wanted to
abolish q certain court leading from
Lombard street to King William street
Ind were willing 70 establish in its stead
q passage through M Of their OWL
buildings. The company's plea was that
the court was a dingy, not to say dirty,
one, and. furthermore, that it was haunt
ed by loafers Of questionable character
Counsel for the other side, representing
merchants having offices in the court
stoutly maintained that the passage wa.
well lighted and eminently respectable

sides. The first photo showed a narrow,
disreputable looking alley, strewn with
rubbish and fallen boarding. The othel

machine dealer moved in. In order tt

the company the second tenant left the
old name on the windows and owe the

BACCALAUREATE.


Madison Normal school commence
nent exercises began yesterday with the
b~accalaureate sermon in the opera house
by Rev. j. p. Jenkins, who preached a
very suggestive sermon from Acts 1919
IT vas not disobedient to the heaven
ly vision" Saul's determination OF his
life work came from this heavenly vision
and 80 the young man or women just
entering upon their own career should
apply themselves to learn what Is Gods
will in their case. God reveals to each
one what calling he shall follow, and
each one should look around and see
where his work is most needed. The
heavenly vision comes to Jus now as to
Saul though in a diff way by adapt
ing itself to the times. The need in
Paul's time was Christianity. He
preached it. Take up now that which
others are not doing. The coming Gen.
fury will be a time Of great problems.
Great issues are to be settled by the
power Of thought; not by force OF arms.
Gods visions appeal to u adaptation to
certain work. The vision comes to our
consciences. Courage is needed to carry
, out the mandate.
The class OF % young ladiesand gentle
men addressed at the close of the SER
mon is a very promising one and will no
doubt reflect great credit upon the in.
stitution.
