High School Notes.

Our library now receives more at
tention than for some time before,
because the public library is closed.
But it is worthy of even more atten-
ton since it contains some very
good books.
At their class meeting Wednes-
day afternoon the Seniors decided
upon a class flower and motto.
1t is a curious thing, but there
were more absences during the good
weather than during the cold and
cloudy weather And the number
Of absent pupils is usually an even
number.
Those new pictures in the main
room deserve much study. They
seem better after one has looked at
them awhile than at first glance.
During the week we have had ex-
ercises on the forming of possessives.
From the results it appears that
more English grammar should be
taught in the high school.
The Sophomore Latin class has
taken up Latin Composition. AS
they are so far ahead in Caesar
they can take up composition which
will make the work easier for them
next year.

HICKS ON MAY WEATHER
FOrecaster Says THAI There Will
Be a Number of Serious
Storms. se

Weather Prophet Hicks makes
predictions for the month of May
which are of considerable interest.
He says that the first storm period
will b conferred on the first of the
month and extend to the fourth.
The opening stages of this period
will fall in the last days of April.
There will be change to warmer,
with falling barometer and souther-
~ winds. There will be wide cloudy
areas from the first tothe third with
active storms of rain, wind and
thunder on the second and third.
Cooler weather will follow, giving
many frosts.
About the sixth or seventh the
weather will become warmer end
the barometer will fall, resulting in
sharp electrical storms and rising
barometer, and it is. probable that
sharp frosts will occur from the
seventh to the tenth. From the
tenth to the fifteenth will be q
dangerous period. Electrical energy
will lie along parallels covering the
central states. The barometer will
fall and there will be summer tenn
perature accompanied by storms of
rain, hail and thunder Some of
these will be furious and tornado.
Such storms in May are apt to re-
peat themselves for several days.
This period will be followed with a
rise in the barometer and cooler
weather. Frost may be looked for
in the northern and central states.
Mr.. Hicks say that tornadoes are
not sure to occur, but he takes
great pains to warn people to be
prepared for dangerous disturbances.
More storms are to occur from the
SEVENTEEN to the eighteenth. This
will be followed by probable
change to much colder weather for
a few days. Another dangerous
period will be from the twenty
fifth to the twenty eighth. This is
likely to be a time of great violence,
and daily disturbances may continue
to occur until the end of the month.
Phenomenal high temperature, high
humidity and very low barometer
will precede the storms. There will
be heavy downpours of rain III
many parts Of the county.

Dewey, d Dog and a Boy.

Passing the home of Admiral Dewey
recently | found the hero of Manila
out in front attending to the crushed
foot of a dog that had been struck by
a street car The Door little creature
looked up gratefully into the great adj
mirals face as he bound the wound.
The bandage was fastened with a
safety pin from-no matter where, the
admiral is equal to emergencies.
A little>later young man from up
in New England, who had dreamed
long of entering the navy, came up.
He told his mission in a manly way.
He wanted to meet his ideal and the
greatest living naval hero. There was
a hearty handgrasp, with a hearty
word of inspiring encoura gment. The
boy, six feet tall and over, scarcely 49,,
lowered above the admiral.
"Splendid! splendidv' he said, as he
gazed upon the form of lad who
was determined to pace the bridge
some day. A great, tender-hearted
man is Americas own Admiral Dewey.

Rats in Mexico.

The plague still RACES in Mexico,
and among the measures taken to pre-
vent it's spread are a bounty on rats,
which are believed to be responsible
for the first introduction of the dis
ease and the prohibition of handshak-
ing during the prevalence of the
plague. Two cents each is paid for
every dead rat, and the boys of the
city are bringing them in by the hun
dreds. The City Of Mazatlan has al
ready paid $4,000 to people whose
houses were burned owing to their
infection with the plague.

Her Easter Costume.

For some time Eve expressed her
opinion to Adam. She had small re-
spect for a man who could not see the
necessity of woman's having a
change of garb, at least in the spring,
She told him that. along with a lot
of other things. At last she shook
him awake long enough to ask:
Am 1 going to appear in anything
different tomorrow? Answer Men'
Il hope So" said Adam, YEARLY. Il
hope you will appear in different
frame of mind That's about the only
change you can make at present, you
know."-Judge.
