BETTER LATE THAN

never. The Wise Man says there
comes time in mems lives when
they are 'safraid of that which is
high; when fears are in the way;
when desire fails and the grass
hopper is a burden" In these
days we call it nervous prostra-
ton; but it is the same old
thing and is brought about in
the identical way SO popular with
Solomon himself. The nerves
collapse and the mans force and
fire die out of him. 1t is natures
punishment for the sin of ex-
cess-and all sorts of "overdo-
ing it." With the majority this
state of things is not constitu-
tional and may be corrected.
Even in old men, when it has
taken the form of general de-
bility, a revival of the powers
is virtually certain SO long as
there is no breakdown of any
important organ. The grasshop-
per soon ceases to be burden
and ghosts resolve into gas,
with those who rely on that
popular purifier and restorative

Graded Schools Opens Monday.

che graded schools open next Monday
morning. Doors will be opened twen-
ty minutes before nine o'clock. The
daily work begins at 8 a. m. aud closes
at 2 80 p. m.
All children between the ages oi
and 81 are admitted free of tuition il
they are residents of the town. Let all
begin the first day and get an even
start.
The grading has not been perfect
and some who have been assigned to
grades may haye to be changed, but a
few weeks recitation work will de-
termine the necessary changes and
they will be made whenever the best
interests of the child demand it.
We want every pupil present every
day unless detained by sickness, and
most earnestly request the cooperation
OF the parents in securing punctuality
and promptness. The school is the
childis place OF business and irregular
attendance will result in failure. IT.
regularity at school will beget careless
business habits that will be detrimental
in the years to come.

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW .

A. w. Hawks, of Baltimore, one of
The star attractions at FutrelPs opera
house this season, lectured to an APP
preciative audience Monday night. He
came with fine reputation and fully
sustained it. His subject was {: "Sun-
shine and Shadow" and for more than
an hour he held his audience under
the spell of his power leading them
constantly from laughter to tears.
His discourse was rich with lllustra-
lions of how life may be made up OF
sunshine and that shadows should have
small place in our experiences.
The lecturer demonstrated that he is
truly an optimist, and that he is great
ly in love with the work of his mis-
sions insthe world, namely, to show
people how to be happy and how to
find more sunshine than shadow and
how to make life sunny and some
times funny as well.
His broad experience as q lecturer
for twenty-five years and his observa-
tions Of much trayel, furnish him
with quite wealth of illustrations of
the funny and sunny side OF life as
we'll as the more practical and useful
lessons from his touch with the world.
These lessons he impressed with most
beautiful language and in most pleas
ing and touching manner.
The audience was we'll pleased and
will gladly welcome an opportunity to
hear him again.

The Empress Catharine of Russia had
eyes Of this hue. In don Quixote"
green eyes are thus referred to:
But, now I think on it, Sancho, thy
description OF her beauty was a little
absurd in that particular of comparing
her eyes to pearls. Sure. such eyes are
more like those of a whiting or sea-
Dream than those of a fair lady, and,
in my opinion. Dulcina's eyes are
rather like two verdant emeralds, rail-
ed in with two celestial arches, which
signify her eyebrows. Therefore, San
cho, you had better take your pearls
from her eyes and apply them to her
teeth Green eyes are not popular,
however. Cervantes spoke of them as
"verdant emeralds," but more usually
they are likened to the optics of the
cat. Very few heroines have green
