USE YOUR OWN BRAINS.
The Education We Acquire by Our
Efforts Becomes n vital
Part of us.

There is always certain lack in
what we get from others. What they
give us is like food put into our mouths.
If it remains there, it never becomes
force, life or thought. 1t must be di-
gested, assimilated, vitalized by our
own activities. All others can do for us
is to furnish the food. The digestion,
the assimilation, the vitalizing, must
be our own work, says Success.
The education we acquire by our
own efforts becomes vital part of us.
1t is not added to us, but is a living,
pulsing, integral part of us.
Many college graduates never swal-
low what the school has put into their
mouths, but carry it about with them
and wonder why they do not grow,
why they are so power-thin. We see
them everywhere, conductors on street
cars, motormen, perpetual clerks whose
salaries are never raised, writers of
occasional squibs for the local press.
hangers-on in society, loafers about ho-
tells and clubs, who never get strength
enough to rise in the world because
they have never digested or assirni-
lated their knowledge.
knowledge is of no use unless it can
be used, and until it has been trans
formed into thought-timber, into man
timber. College graduates often
astonish us by the enormous amount
of their learning and the meagerness
of their performance. 1t seems to take
all their strength to carry about what
they have learned, and they have moth
ing left with which to use what they
have.

After twenty minutes of fast and
furious playing. on the part of the
Buchtel and Mt Union foot ball teams
Saturday afternoon, the score was a
tie. Both teams by dlnt of much hard
hammering on the opposing line and
brilliant end runs had succeeded in
carrying the pigskin over the line and
both teams had failed goal. The score
was to >.
For the second half a far different
story need be told. Everything was
in Buchtel's favor and when the whis,
tie sounded and the long haired can
vass-backed warriors left the field the
home team had piled score of %
points high, while Mt. Union had the
same five, fortune gave her early in
the game.
Buchtel fairly outclassed the visit
ors and won because of superior
knowledge of the game. Mt. Union
had big advantage in weight but II
was case of an overproduction. The
bulk was unwleldly and the fast pace
at the outset overtaxed its powers
of endurance.

Repairing the Court House.

The committee appointed by the Su-
pervisors of the county to make con-
tract for rebuilding and remodeling the
courthouse has opened the bids, ten
in number, and on Friday let the con-
tract to Messrs. A. F. WithrOw q Co.,
whose bid was $29, 1893. Work will be-
gin October 1, and the building Will be
completed by September l, 1901. The
committee is composed of Messrs. L.
M. Smiley, John G.. Fulton and Will
liam Patrick.
The county and circuit court records
nave been moved from the clerks
offices to the city court building pre-
.paratory to the repairs to the court
house which are to begin at once.
Si1ty-fOur years ago they were remOv-
ed that the present offices might be
built and the court house repaired. Mr..
Jefferson Kinney was then the clerk of
the county court, and Nicholas Kin
ney of the circuit court. Mr.. N. K.
Trout and Mr.. Joseph N. Woodward
were then the deputies of Mr.. Jeffer-
son Kinney, and Mr.. Woodward, who
still lives in this city assisted in the
removal of the records at that time.
They have greatly increased in volume
since, but in Importance the records
of that day may be the greater.
When complete the county will have
one of the handsomest and most mod
ern court houses in the State
