which Won can make this big old
world some better, brighter and hap

industrious. be honest, he manly
bows; avoid evil associates and bad
habits as you would poisonous rep
tile, for habits formed in youth are
apt TO cling TO you through all the
wears of your life l have made up
little verse here that ! trust will help
YOU to remember what | have said.
and if it will help even one boy along
on-hfe s pathway shall feel well re-
paid:

The main feature of the program
of the Adelphic society last evening
was a lecture by Prof. Z. A. letter
strand on the subject, youth the
Springtime of Life. - The professor
drew close and striking parallel be-
tween spring as one of the most pleas
ant and important of the seasons of the
year and youth. the period in every
persons life which is so full and rich
in promises and possibilities. Other
numbers of the program were cor
net solo by G. l.. Krantz, and music by
a mandolin and guitar club. Next FRI
day evening the society will have a
so-called plantation Meeting

choir. The choir is continually busy
nj 4 II nd oil,
has a very extensive repertoire.
Among the latest musical works taken
up for practice are: "Estudiana, an
ideal college song, The Owl" and
others. Next Tuesday evening the
conservatory chorus will meet for
practice. Prof. f. E. Peterson will

chorus will be the nucleus of one that
will continue and keep up the work
for years to come.
Next Wednesday evening the mi
tial entertainment of the Lyceum lee
ture course will be given. There is
no reason why the course should not

when many important matters will |
come up for consideration.
The Lyceum held well attended |
meeting at 3 p. m. Thursday. The |
thief topic of discussion was the pos

For various reasons it was thought
pest not to undertake the project at
