sprinq Fever.

Spring fever is another name for
biliousness. 1t is more serious than
most people think. A torpid liver
and inactive bowels mean a poisoned
system. II neglected, serious illness
may follow such symptoms. DeWitts
Little Early Risers remove all danger
by stimulating the liver. opening the
bowels and cleansing the system OF
impurities. Safe pills. Never grippe.

Risers for torpid liver every spring

mischief bottled up in Juniors;
otherwise such mild naughtiness
would be breaking out all the time.
And such mischief as their nimble
wits planned on this night when
witches ride and ghosts and COB
Inns make merry. Jack-o' Lanterns
grinned, : tick-tacks tapped, win
dows were soaped and woodpiles
fell with a grand crash. Ringing
door bells, blowing beans and rice,
and tearing gates down and side
walks UP varied a long list of mis-
chief. But the very jolliest times
were the parties where Juniors
paraded as ghosts in sheets and
pillow cases; they played all sorts
of weird games, bobbed for apples,
roasted nuts, and had an all around
good time. Sometimes good fairies
were at work also, and many a
lonely soul was cheered by a band
of light-hearted spirits. One such
band received a dose of salt and
pepper, and, sad to say, straight
way became bad spirits.

TOPIC-A STORY OF HALLOWEEN.
Witches Ride. !

ERY so often Juniors grow careless and have
to be read little 'preachment" on various
errors. Sometimes, too, topics bring out
new criticisms. This week ever so many
stories were longer than the word limit per-
mits; some even had over four hundred and
others six hundred words. Then many Juniors
attempted dialect stories; this is difficult work,
even in the most skilful hands, and Juniors
should not attempt it. Was there ever word
quite 50 hard to spell as Halloween! Juniors
managed it dreadfully, especially the seventh
and Gig III grades. It was spelled by them
"Hullowen," Halloween" Halloween" and

some deplored the mild state OF warfare this

consolation in the thought that difference Of
opinion means the advancement Of the world
and cited the discovery of America and the
civil war to prove their assertion. But then
the differences among Juniors are never so
serious as these. Sometimes one party to the
disagreement simply ran contrariwise against
everything and 'tis-and' faint spat ensued.

For such was the colored boys
name, and the boys used to shout
it and make fun Of it. Alonzo then
picked up his pumpkin. lit 1t, and
went home along the railroad
track. He walked for some dis

could see his way by the light Of
the candle in the pumpkin
Suddenly he stepped into space
and fell a few feet down. Picking
