GLASS SONG.
STAFFORD High School, we must leave thee,
Nears the hour when we must part;
But high and earnest feeling
Lightens each and every heart.
1t is this-in LIES great battle
Each must help to win the day,
Each must fight, and fight to conquer,
Or be conquered in the fray.
CHO. Farewell, then, for we must leave thee
Each one has his place to fill
Shall success or honor crown US
If we work not with will?
Many things have changed the aspect
OF the school we now hold dear;
We have seen our comrades leave US
And our High School, year by year.
These and many other changes
Meath its roof have taken place,
nrnQQnnQ
OF one kind, familiar face.
Thus four years we've worked together,
Eighteen in one glorious class
Every one shall be remembered
AS thro' life we onward pass.
Let US then toll ever upward,
Ever striving to excel

Inc commencement exercises Ol Iu0
Stafford high school opened last Friday
afternoon when the ivy planting took
place. The senior class, bearing daisy
chains, marched in double columns out
the east entrance, around the campus and
up the center of the front lawn, singing
the ivy song composed by Maude Emily
Chandler. The concrete close about the
school building made it necessary to
choose spot elsewhere, SO one of the
sturdy young oaks will in future years
support the precious vine. The usual
baccalaureate sermon was omitted this
year, as a clergyman had been secured
for an address graduation night.
The class-day program was carried out
very successfully at the opera house Mon
day evening, with large audience in at
tendance. The papers were brimful of
bright hits and fun-making, which were
surprisingly we'll appreciated by the lis
teners. The class will, by Alice May
Wilton, revealed much unsupported treas
ure. The class history, given by Alice
Lomira Graves, reviewed the past four
years with Its work and pleasure, and
closed with fitting tribute to their be-
loved principal. Leila Ardelle Melbourne
composed the class poem, and recited it
In pleasing manner.

Some Household Hints.

Thin and valuable glass can be hard
ened after this fashion. Tie it around
with hay, place over fire in cold
water and allow the water to come to
a boil. Then let the glassware remain
in the water until it becomes cold
again.
One of the best mouse preventives is
the foliage of the walnut tree. Even
after the foliage has been dried it is
said to be effectual in soaring away
mice.
Knitting wool can be made a fast
color by soaking it in a strong solu-
tion of salt and water, taking it out
after few minutes immersion and
hanging to dry in the open air.
To clean sponges thoroughly dissolve
handful of coarse salt in a pint of
water. Soak and knead the sponges
in this mixture for some little time;
then rinse under a water faucet, and
they will be as good as new.

A Tramp Cat.

A few months ago strange cat
strolled into the house Of Kentucky
farmer and sat blinking at the kitchen
fire with an air of great assurance, as
il to say: I've concluded to come and
live with you" But the farmer did
not take kindly to the newcomer; he
tried several times to throw the cat
out of the house; but pussy scratched
him so viciously that he was, glad to
leave her in quiet possession. The cat
Immediately became very fond of Liz
zie, the 5-year-Old daughter Of the
farmer, and followed her every where
she went. One day Lizzie went into
the garden to play among the flowers,
and the cat took up her position about
six feet away. After awhile the little
girl rose to depart, when, to her sur
prise and dismay, she saw an ugly,
poisonous snake, about three feet long,
behind her, coiled up and ready to
strike. But the cat had seen the rep
tile, too, and with one bound she
pounced upon him and bit him on the
neck. Then ensued long and desper-
ate fight, in which the cat was getting
the best of it, when the screams Of the
little girl attracted the farmers wife to
the scene Of the catastrophe, and his
snakeship was speedily dispatched with
a garden tool. The farmer now says
he is glad the tramp cat" stayed; and
ever since her brave encounter with
the snake pussy gets an extra saucer
Of milk from the hand of her little
friend Lizzie. On such occasions she
blinks and looks at the farmer in a
way which shows she f:lly realizes
what a valuable cat she is.
