gins the daily publication of an epigram In

ample: Good advice is usually distastefuI

There are several extraneous aids to elf

ernor'' In the Gilbert opera tried practical
jokes on his subordinates-compelled the
guards to do ballet dances instead of drills
and organized butter slides for the unsus-
pecting syndic. Deyery used epigrams and
coined them himself. If the Cleveland chief
will find room for his unfading sentiment
"A policeman has got right to have some

BITS OF HISTORY
CONCERNING BERRYVILLE

A TYPICAL. little Virginia town Is
~ Berryville. in Clarke county, situ-
ated In the beautiful valley of the
Shenandoah. This valley, from a his
torical point of view, is one of the
most interesting spots in the United
States. Lord Fairfax was the original
owner, under grant from King Charles II.
of the entire northern neck of Virginia.
George Washington, in 174S, when but
boy Of sixteen years. crossed the Blue
Ridge into the valley and surveyed vast
tracts of land for Lord Fairfax. Indians
roamed up and down the valley hunting
and fishing. and varying the monotony of
their existence by numbering white settlers
and their families.
Berryville was established In January
1898, on twenty acres Of land belonging to
DanI Berry. Previous TO the establish

least one settler on the tract where the

shore of Maryland In 1TT4. and with his
sons lived for the greater part of a year
in the hollow trunk of sycamore tree
while planting ground and erecting

DROMOTION days. whether they oc-
cur in midwinter or in late spring,
are red-letter days. Everybody is
pleased when we are promoted. ourselves
most Of all It Is impossible to avoid
feeling OF satisfaction and delight when at
the end Of some weeks or months we dis
cover that we have not been working In
vain and that we have actually gone one
round higher up on the ladder a school
girl Is just much pleased when she leaves
division for division A or advances a
grade and has as good a right to be pleased
about It, as the lieutenant when he becomes
a captain. the captain when he gains the
rank Of major and the major when people
salute him as colonel. and so on
Promotion is a sign to every one in our
world that we are favorites OF fortune,
and good soldiers as well. In the battles
OF life it is a right and proper thing to
strive for promotion. Occasionally when a
girl has done her very best and been faith
full to every duty and fulfilled every task
throughout a term she fails of promotion.
The powers that be. looking over her work,
decide that ii will be for her advantage In
the end to wait awhile and not too early
push forward into a region where difficulties
beyond her strength must he encountered.
Their decision Is sure to be a disappoint-
ment to the girl, particularly If she belong
to the set of girls who are naturally con-
scientious and dilgent. She viii feel NOR
titled that her companions are to be ahead

been below her. She feels as If every one

for recreation are those that directly follow
the afternoon closing of school.
Evening hours should be devoted to prep
aration for another day. and for a school
girl the old rule of early to bed and early
to rise has no exceptions. If we would
be promoted we must take time to sleep
that the brain may be rested and ready to
do its work.
The conclusion Of the matter Is this:
Don't be unduly elated when you succeed,
and don't be altogether crushed when you
fail. The people in this world who gain
what they want in the end are those who
cannot be rebuffed or disheartened when
things go wrong. If they slip down they
scramble up and try again. They are like
the man in Mother Goose who jumped into
bramble bush and scratched out both his
eyes.
''And when he found his eyes were out
With all his might and main,
He jumped into another bush,
And scratched them in again.
