Halloween Notice.

To PARENTS AND ALL INTEREST
ED: The damages resulting last
year TO sidewalks in Lancaster on
account of Halloween FRANKS COM
mitted about town amounted to a
great deal and no small sum was
required to make the necessary re-
pairs. Our walks are in such con-
d1tion that to move them means to
destroy them.
I ask parents and others to see
that the work Of last year is not
repeated. If it is I will use my best
endeavors in bringing guilty parties
to justice and they will pay for all
damages.
Remain at home and keep out Of
trouble. AL BUDwORTH,

THE ARMY CANTEEN.

An interesting side-issue of the
coming Congress will lie in whether
or not sufficient majority in both
H buses can be mustered in favor of
restoring the army canteen. Three
years ago, a protracted campaign
on the part of temperance en-
thusiasts succeeded in abOlishipg
the canteen. Army officers, army
surgeons and army women, in
numbers enough to warrant an as
sumption that they represent the
almost unanimous opinion in the
service, are now on record as en-
phatically declaring that the elimin-
alton of canteens has worked harm
rather than good among the soldiers.
General Grant has gone so far as to
say that the adjustment of can
teens has increased crime in the
army. An organization of wives of
army officers in Washington has
adopted lengthy resolutions recit-
ing that this extreme temperance
measure has deteriorated rather
than improved the morals of the
rank and file. Accordingly vigorous
effort will be made to restore the
canteen, though it will be difficult
to induce Congressman to vote for
such a measure, for fear of their
temperance constituents.

CHEER UP!

Cheer up The world is taking
your photograph. Look pleasant.
Of course you havey o II troubles
troubles you cannot tell the police
man. A whole lot of things bother
you of course. Business worries or
domestic sorrows, it may be, or
what not. You find life rugged
road, whose stones hurt your feet.
Nevertheless, cheer up!
1t may be your disease is selfishness
-ingrown selfshness. Your life is
too self conferred. You imagine
your tribulations are mnch harder
than others bear. You feel sorry
for yourself the meanest sort of
pity. tt is a pathetic illusion. Rid
yourself of that and cheer up.
WHAT right have you to carry a
picture Of your woebegone face and
funeral ways about among your
fellows, who have troubles of their
own? IL you must whine, or sulk,
or scowl, take car, and go to the
woods or to the unfrequented lanes.
Cheer up! Your ills are largely
imaginary. If you were really on
the brink of bankruptcy, or if
there were mo thorough fare
through your sorrows, you would
clear your brows, set your teeth,
and make the best of it. Cheer up
You are making Hypothetical
case out of your troubles, and suf.
ferlng from self inflicted verdict.
You are borrowing trouble, and
paying high rate of interest.
Cheer up! Why man alive, in q
ten minute walk you may see score
of people worse off than you.
And here you are digging your
own grave, and playing pail bearer
into the bargain. Man alive, you
must do your work! Smile, even
though it be through your tears,
which speedily dry. And cheer up

AS TO THE STUDENTS HABIT.

It is difficult to attach too much
Importance to the power of habit
and the Importance of the forma-
ton Of right habits at any time in
life. But it has long been universal
ly recognized that the most import
ant habit-forming period in the life
of the individual is before the high
school age is passed.
And just as the most important
habit-forming period of life is COM
prised in the years of public school
attendance, SO the most important
part of each school year is the first
few days or weeks of the year, at
most. The work of the year will
probably be largely determined by
the attitude of the pupil during this
tune. He should be very careful to
start right, or, if he has made a
rather poor beginning in the time
that is already past, he would do
well to quickly recognize that he
can right himself much more easily
than later on. This is in accord
ance with the law of habit. Every
days work well or poorly done
strongly tends to produce a chain
of similar days after it.
The same law holds for the years
work. And yet so subtle are the
workings of human nature and so
potent do the apparently little
things often prove to be, that just
because boy orgirl has never been
a good student is no conclusive rea-
son that he cannot become one this
year. Let him once taste the fruits
of victory-let him once experience
what it means to feel the salts
faction of few assignments we'll
worked out, and the chances are
his years work will be a revelation
to himself and to his friends. The
parents Of the city will do well to
recognize this important principle
and to endeavor to encourage their
children to act upon it. It is alto
gether probable that the city teach
arS already racOoniza If h11 altar
all, the most important thing is for
the student himself to impress it SO
strongly on his own mind that he
will not wait for external prodding
to induce him to set about at once
to do some really thorough work.
If he once does this there is not
much danger that the habit will not
become fixed one for the rest Of
his career

A single-talent man supported by
great self confidence will achieve
more than a ten-talent man who
does not believe in himself. The
mind cannot act with vigor in the
presence of doubt. A wavering mind
makes a wavering execution. There
must be certainty and confidence
and assurance or there can be no
efficiency. An uneducated man who
believes in himself and who has
faith that he can do the thing he
undertakes often puts to shame the
average college bred man whose
over-culture and wider outlook
have sometimes bred increased
sensltiveness and lessening of
self-confdence whose decision has
been weakened by constant weigh
ing of conflicting theories and
whose prejudices are always open
to conviction.

African Grosbecks.

The social grosbecks Of South Africa
live in large societies. They select a
tree of considerable size and literally
cover 1t with grass roof, under which
their common dwelling is constructed.
The roof serves the double purpose Of
keeping off the heat and the rain, and
400 or 500 pairs Of birds are known to
have the same shelter. The nests in
this aerial dwelling are built in re.gu-
lar streets and closely resemble rows
of tenement houses.
