ADDRESS TO SCHOLARS.


Mr. Heaton delivered an address in
which he spoke of the sweet music Of
the laughter which he had often heard
from the girls. which showed the pure
spirit and the pure heart. Mr. Heaton
spoke of the enjoyment that was to be
found in the right activity of the mind,
the mind that was not perverted
There was, he said. a distinct pleasure
in doing what was right, ir devotion TO
duty. and he desired to impress the
view that every one must choose the
highest ideal and must not be diverted
by pleasures Of a lower standard.
One who sought only his own pleas
ure, he said. got weary of life, but to
the one who had noble purposes, who
sought the spiritual pleasures, content
ment and happiness came and sat day
and night.
Mr.. Heaton said that the purpose in
life of all should be to develop them
selves to the utmost in thinking of 9TH
ers. and though there may be shadows
come across their paths they would be
happy in pursuing that course
He reminded them that if they found
life worthless it would be their own
fault. for the darkness. he said. was
for those whose eyes were closed and
for those who looked down. Life, too,
was only drudgery if they made it So
for there was no drudgery only in the
mind of those that conceived it, He
advised his young friends that when
ever they saw a duty in their path that
had to be performed it were well for
them to make I'D their mind to enjoy it
by putting into it their whole life and
soul. His experience had made il clear
that only laggards disliked study. In
concluding Mr.. Heaton alluded to the
advantages that the students enjoyed
at the Denman School. naming art, lit
erature and music, which he said were
carefully and vigilantly taught by Prin-
cipal Mann. He wished the graduates
godspeed through life.
Principal Mann and Miss Jessie Smith
after addressing the graduates were

Prohibition picnic held at Vancamp

Prohibition picnic held at Want Camp
August IS. 1t was of little impor-
lance, the speakers claimed that
both of the parties upheld the
liquor traffic. This Is wrong, voting
the Prohibition ticket will not sup
press the traffic any quicker than to
vote the Populist ticket. PIohib.
ition as ends is right, but the means
undertaken by this party Is wrong.
To call man a scoundrel Is little
encouragement to him to act your
way.
We notice some correspondents
can write nothing except to write
of some trivial visit In the neigh
borhood and these never occur.
Who cares whether or not Aunt
Sarah Jane visited her sister Sal
last Sunday? If there Is a visit
made and something accomplished
that Is of some news or interest TO
the public we want to hear 1t. 1t
Is best to write something an In
telligent person wants to read.
Simple fimsy articles will condemn
any good paper.
1t was the writer's privilege to
attend the last day of the county
institute. Some one introduced a
general resolution to have the BIZ
Die read In public schools every
morning. While we are a firm be-
lever In the Book of all books we
thought this an unwise thing to do.
The great book re quires no resolu-
tions to win Its way. 1t Is a slur
on the Book to say teachers reso'
buttons can make 1t more effective.
Religion and school should be
forever apart
Good morals should be taught In
school. Of course, this Is the
greatest book on morals, but 1t
need not be read In school. Cath
olics and Jews object to 1t and they
have as much right to their belief
as we to ours. How May would
take Roger Williams Idea of relig'
ious freedom, from the United
States constitution. No one OBJ
jects to the morals taught In 1t, and
they alone are all that should be
taught. Another thing we partic-
ulary noticed was the spirit In
which these pretended champions
of the Bible went at their work. 1t
Is they who should show spirit OF
meekness, longsuffering and pa
thence, but instead they used the
greatest of logic, "the stamping OF
feet" when their opponent arose to
vindicate themselves for their way
of voting
Is 1t the spirit of the christian or
gentleman TO want to triumph b.
cause of some ones belief? Shame

Raising n False Issue.

A story wet known to lawyers OF the
last generation is about the umbrella
case" \ mau was charged with steal
ing an umbrella. and Il number or Wit
ncSSes went into the box to testify 10
the OffCnSc. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT noted that each witness car
ried all umbrella (thc time of year was
midsummer. which explains the neceS-
sity for these inprdimenta. AS a
matter of fact the prisoner had no de-

on his wits. exclaimed: "Gentlcmen of

For Divorce, Naming Her Bridesmaid

action in the Supreme Court for an absolute
divorce from Naval Surgeon George Hol-

Mrs Barber's lawyer, is relative Of a
naval officer. Supreme Court Justice
Clarke gave permission yesterday to Mr..

summons and complaint by publication.
Surgeon Barber is now at the United States

Narragansett, r., |. He will defend the
action.
The couple were married from the home
Of Mrs. BARRIERS sister. Mrs Edward NJ.

More Cowboy.

Since the war with Spain, thanks to the
strenuous commander OF the Rough Riders,
the cowboy has risen from the ranks Of
the dime novel to that Of bound fiction.
Mr.. Owen Wister has shown in his "The
Virvinian" what can be made Of him by q
skilful hand. In 1The Log of a Cowboy"
by Andy Adams (Houghton, Miff'in d co.,,
we have something that sounds little
more like the real thing. 1t ia the story
of q great drive Of cattle from Texas into
Montana, twenty years ago, with all the
incidents and adventures that were likely
to occur in suoh an expedition. The mar
rative il In the first person and has all the
marks OF verisimilitude. Very likely it
is a true story. At any rate, the reader
will derive from 1t a lively sense Of what
the life Mr.. Roosevelt admires is like. There
Ia plenty OF action and Of adventure in
the book, which. il not written by real
cowboy. reads very much as though it had
been.
