Cough i'm His Prime

JOHN B. COUGH, the famous advocate of tenn
y perance, went to Great Britain in compliance
with numerous demands from press and public. When
he appeared at Oxford the college students under
took to hiss him off the stage. SO determined were
they that temperance should not be preached there.
After enduring their misses and cat-cals for about ten
minutes, he startled them all by saying: Il can whip
everyone of you. one at a time"
This statement was cheered. and then the young
men began calling one of their chums to 60 up on the
stage. Soon Cough saw a young giant coming toward
him. As soon as he was in the center of the stage
Cough shouted: This is to be an intellectual battle.
and not a physical one. Go on with your speech. -"
This suited the college men, and they began calling
on their big fellow for a speech. He responded by
quoting the epistle to Timothy. in which Paul recon-
mends "a little wine for thy stomach's sake" and

LET US NOT STAGNATE.

TARLY next month there is to be
IL an important election relative to
school affairs. At this election the
women will have the privilege of vot-
ing, and where the privilege is extend
ed it becomes duty. The great ques-
ton in view is as to the new High
school. This has been discussed freely.
The concensus of opinion is that the
school is needed. There re main to be
considered the methods. The board
of education has purchased site.
That the schools are overcrowded, that
some OF them are unsanitary, and that
enlarged facilities are imperative there
is no denial. This being the situation
it is worth while to look briefly into
the objections to the plan.
There is certain element in each
community that is known as conserva-
tive. 1t is as useful as any other ele-
ment. 1t is the one that is cautious;
puts on the brakes. 1t is willing to
be reasonably progressive, but does not
wish to be rash. 1t says word Of
caution; utters warming. This ele.
ment is not governed by selfish i'm
pulses, but is ready to listen to reason;
to convince or to be convinced. There
is another element that is not conser-
vative, but destructive. 1t believes in
the efficacy of dry rot. 1t is afraid
that the public energy will wear out
and so tries to hamper the energy that
it will rust out. This element OPP
poses the High school plan, not offer
ing in lieu better or different plan
1t is aroused by the fact that there are
some people who want to see the city
grow along right lines. 1t does not
want the city to grow along any lines.
1t prefers stagnation.
In deciding how to vote at the COM
ing election, there is necessity to weigh
all the facts, and the character of the
individuals who advance the facts;
their motives. Are they the same
who think that paving is sin. that
a rotten plank is better than cement
to walk upon? Are they such, as
cheerfully bear their share of the bur-
den OF taxation.

A popular wOmen's club has de-
ciphered "Man" as follows: "Men are
what women marry. They drink and
smoke and swear and are full of peck
cts, but they won't go to church. Per-
haps if they wore bonnets they would.
They are more logical than women
and also more geological. Both men
and women have sprang from mon
keys, but the women certainly sprung
further han the men,"

Old Father Time gets out his scythe
And patiently starts moving;
He manages somehow to thrive
And make decent showing;
But, though he is master hand,
Alert, expert and willing,
His weapon does not always land
The fellow who needs killing.
