we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for child or
for an adult, and if for child they
almost invariably recommend Cham

for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger

ORIGINAL WORK.

Now and then a Junior sends us
work that is not his own. Whether he
does not understand that we want
original work OF whether he is DELHI
erately stealing it, we do not know.
However, it is very serious thing to
sign your name to an article that you
have not written yourself and you
must under no circumstances do it.
1t does not take us long to find out
whether your essay or story is your
own production and we do not pub
lish anything that we think is copied.
If by chance stolen article should
escape our attention and find it's way
into print, we hope that the Juniors
will not hesitate to tell us of our over
sight. If you have read a story be-
fore you will know it instantly and
can no doubt remember where you
saw it.
Be honest in whatever you do, and
if you can not write yourself, do not
pretend you can by signing your name
TO somebody's else work.

THE BEST SEASON OF THE YEAR.

spring is when the earth is warmed
into new life again.
me buds on the trees burst open
and the green leaves come which
make the trees look so beautiful.
The flowers spring up. About the
earliest wild flowers that bloom are
the violet, dandelion and daisy. The
lambs tongue comes later on. The
:ss comes also, before the flowers.
The, spring months are March, April
and May.
May is the lovliest of all the spring
A2nths, because of the grass and the
flowers that beautify the earth. The
birds also have returned, making the
old earth cheerful with their songs.
The farmer has lots of work to do
in spring. He has to pillow the ground
and get it ready to plant corn. There
Is the garden to tend to. They plant
in the garden radishes, onions, let

THE RABBIT.

| thought would write about rab-
bits, as they are the only animals with
which l am familiar.
In regard to variety there are many
different kinds. There are the white,
the brown. the spotted and the NAL
tese, of which ali are tame.
Rabbits live on nearly all kinds of
vegetables and also on grass, corn,
oats and wheat.
There are also wild rabbits, which
live in the woods. The wild rabbits
are mostly hunted for game and are
very good to eat.
I have five pet rabbits, which are
all white, and think they make fine
pets.
l think that there ought to be law
passed that no one should be allowed
to shoot them for three or four years,
and by that time it would be a great
increase, and a pleasure to take a
hunt. as they are now nearly all being
killed out.
l will try and write again, when |
find time, and now l would like to in
wife all happy juniors who have time
to write as often as they can. and try
to fill whole side of the Courier.

A DAY IN SCHOOL.

Fremont, Iowa.

1t was the last day of school, The
children were going to speak pieces
There were number Of pupils
There were fifteen girls and ten boys
Some of the children spoke pieces
and some of them sang songs. They
had three dialogues. In one there
was five children three girls and two
boys. In the other there were seven
children, four boys and three girls
and the third had eleven, six girls and
five boys.
They were all good pieces. After
they had finished the program the
teacher gave them all presents The
way that she gave the presents was by
putting them all in a sack and then one
by one the children run their hands
in the sack and took one out of the
sack
One little girl was asked first, but
she refused and said she would wait
till the other children had their pres

10 hold our convention at Savannah
at the same time as theirs, saying
that the misunderstanding can be Ak
ed up. But this has been much more
than a misunderstanding, and it is
not likely that it can be fixed up.
1t is probable that the mutual in
surance feature which was desired by
the smaller cities, will now be revived
and may possibly be adopted by our
next convention.
I'VE have been in hard fight
against some of the smoothest poll
ticians in the United States; men who
devote almost their whole time to pol
itics. We had majority Of the votes
from the start, but we may as we'll adj
nit that the other fellows were the
smoother politicians. They have had
the most practice. In view of their
actions, there was nothing for us to
do but to adopt the course we have
taken"
How the Split Came.

floor"
Mr.. President. as you all well know
came to this convention to revenge
the insult offered to Nashville after
her hospitality of two years ago. You
all know how our representatives on

ents, for they seemed to be in a hur-
ry. So as they stopped talking big
boy ran and said: II will go in her
place" So running his hand in the
sack and as he drew his hand out he
had little ruber doll in his hand
which made him so angry that he
threw it down and rushed out of the
room amid the laughter.
The next was girl about Ia. She
got little box with pair of gloves
In 1t. Two of the others got dolls.
Three boys got balls. Five girls got
box of hairpins. Six little boys got
caps and the other six girls got hair
ribbons. Then the little girl that said
she would wait came up for her pres
ent and reaching her little hand in
drew out a beautiful gold watch and
chain. The little girl was SO happy
that she threw her arms around her
teachers neck and kissed her. The
other scholars went home with hap
Ply heart, but the little girl, whose
name was Mabel, stayed till the other
pupils went home and then putting
her watch on she kissed her teacher
goodbye and went home, with light
heart. and the teachers heart was
about as light by making kind child
happy.

Officers of New Organization.
The delegates who bolted from the
convention in the afternoon met in the
evening and perfected an organ
ization, electing the following officers:
President - Martin A. Desmond, St.
Louis.
Secretary - John F. Hanley, Cleve-
land, Ohio.
Treasurer - D. L. Mitchell, Cedar
Rapids.
Minority Leader Talks.
One of the leading spirits in the
new organization who came from afar
and took an active part in the fight,
said last night:
We shall make the smaller cities
all over the country acquainted with
the action taken at this convention,
and shall invite them to join our new
organization. We confidently expect
that the majority of them will do so.
After while, probably several months
from now, when all these cities have
Joined our organization, a referendum
vote will be taken on the question of
the location Of the next convention.

have already approached us, asking us

A DAY IN SCHOOL.

1t was rainy day in April. The
children were tired and irritable. They
did not know their lessons we'll, be-
cause they whispered and drew pic
lures on their states. Some had to
stay in at recess to learn their les
sons. They were hard to keep quiet
at recess, and they whispered after
recess. The teachers face was like
the clouds in the sky outside.
One little girl fell down in the mud
and got her dress dirty. One boy
spilled his ink. The whole day was
full of mishaps.
