The Harmless Cigarette,

A school teacher in the Clarion
Monitor says: On last Tuesday one OF
my boys came TO school with two
packages of cigarette papers. We
put them into pint bottle and then
nearly filed it with water; by Thurs
day it was so thick that the liquid
would hardly run out of the bottle.
The boy caught mouse and gave him
about third of teaspoonful. He
never lived TO leave the boys hands,
The boys we're convinced that IL was
poisonous but the girls declared that
the boys squeezed the mouse so hard
it died. So on Friday the boys came
to school with three sparrows and two
MICE We took them one at time and
gave them q third Of teaspoonful.
The birds flew around the room a
short time and then fell helpless on the
floor and died in ten minutes. They
seemed to be in awful pain. The mice
ran around the room as II nothing
had gone wrong, for while, then fell
in fit from which they never recov-
cred. This should be lesson to the
boys who smoke cigarettes.

THE SCHOOL OF THE OZARKS
Dirt Is Flying on the Mil and Quarr,ing
BEGINS.

The contract for the excavation foi
the first building for the School Of the
Ozarks was let to George Stiiller the
last of last week, and he began moving
dirt Monday morning. He has been
making good progress, and will soon
have the site ready for the rock.
Mr.. Stifller took the contract at u
cents cubic yard, moving the dirt
about two hundred yards, The con-
tract price is low, and it is to be hoped
he will strike nothing difficult, in which
case he would be in danger of loss. II
is reported that he struck considerable
rock yesterday.
John Hart has been employed to su.
perintend the quarrying of the stone
for the building, and will hire men for
the work, paying l2t cents an hour for
common labor and l5 cents an hour for
quarrymen, This plan was considered
preferable 10 waiting for bids, which
would delay the beginning. Mr., Hart
too has begun his work on the quarry,
and from this time forward things will
be happening on the HILL

may to the young brighten and deepen
the pleasures and memories OF home,
while TO the advanced in years some-
thing may be said that will bring TO
view the reelected radiance OF golden
dawning. We should be pleased to oc-
casionally hear from our readers who
appreciate this department. 1t does
no harm to drop word even In the
pathway of an editor whose road seems
ever TO lead among the thorns.
TEACH the children TO be kind to
the unfortunate in life, and never to
make game OF any, for heaven loves
and pities the poor and humble. Let
conversation at home be pure; help
the children with their lessons at night
and sec that they give proper tire to
their lessons while at home, and to be
respectful to their teachers. And, again
| say, help them with their lessons, OF
course, there are some parents who are
unfortunate and can't assist their chill
dren. So much the more should they
give them the advantage OF studying,
that they may profit wherein they
themselves have erred. Even IL fancy
work Is laid aside and the little dresses
are to be plain, give more time and in.
terest to improving the mind, for
how much better, says Ruskin, is a
soul and mind we'll cared for, than fine
dress. For when refining qualities SUR
round the home, tho home will influence
the school, and the school influence the
community. Around the home hearths
may lie the serpcnts coiled to strike
with its poisoning fangs the prattling
child about its mothers knee. So
invoke the guardian angel of
peace to hover over your home nest,
that you may be secure under the
shadow of his wings

AS AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS.

Do not waste your vitality and time
in anxiety about your neighbors spirit
ual or moral condition.
The one thing of Importance above
all others for each individual Is SELF
development. Once developed you
will be an inspiration to others to help
themselves. You were sent here to
make the best use of your spirit and
mind. Unless you do this, II is useless
for you to attempt to benefit others. II
you do this your example will be an In
spiration and a guide.
If you keep quiet and set an example
OF happy, attractive morality and un-
seliishncss you will be more success
ful rcformer than thousand aggres.
sivc and disagreeable teachers and
meddlers. You cannot live another 5
life, but you can live your own and live
it well. Ask no mans advice, but
study the people you meet and avoid
the habits and manners which you find
annoying to you in others, and culti'
vate the qualities you find are pleasing
and helpful.
The time many people give TO worry
over the depravity of the world might
be given to self analysis and medta-
tiOn.
Resolve to do and be what you want
Others to do and be.
1t is more important TO be than to
do, remember, yet if you do something
worth while you are sure to be some,
thing worth while. The lighted lamp
gives forth radiance.
There are those who waste life in
running about the world Offering
matches to fellow pilgrims they believe
to be in the dark, while their own lamps
are unlighted.
There is a great plant Of spiritual
electric light within yourself. The most
important thing in life is TO find that
plant and 10 connect all your being
with IL.
| BE a radiant center wherever you 90
Keep your own wires in good work
ing order and you will not need TO urge
others to avoid the darkness. They
will see the radiance you cast and il
will be more convincing argument
than thousand sermons.
Once you set about this work OF self
development-spiritual development
not mental culture-you will find tha
you are growing power among peo
pie. Luck, health and happiness viii
attend you. Strength, stimulation
courage and hope will awaken in thOs'
with whom you associate. You will
become power for good. Make your

WHO has not for a moment felt while
climbing the steep path of life that his
burden was heavier than his heart
could bear? But we must ever look
upward and never falter, If we will
renew our hope and continue in our
route, our ambition will at last be
crowned with success. 1t has often
been said that every day has its pain
and SORROWS This is true, but we
must say that every day has likewise
its pleasures and joys, We are only
drinking out OF that mixed cup which
Providence has prepared for all.

THERE are many good seeming men
who, il all their days thoughts and
feelings were TO be suddenly developed
into acts, visible to the eye, would run
from themselves, as men in earthquakes
run from the fiery gapings of the

WE should bear the burdens OF life
chccrfully. 1t is wrong to cultivate
discontentment when we could enjoy
peace and happiness, Some people
look on the dark side of every picture,
and thereby lose the beauty Of today's
sunshine in anticipating the dark clouds
of tomorrow. Let us rather catch the
sunshine and weave its golden threads
into fabric of life and when the night
of sorrow sheds its gloom around us
those threads of treasured sunshine
will make our sadness less. We should
meet our troubles with will dctermin-
ed to conquer.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
Items Of Interest from western Asso-
citation Towns.

Leavehworth is going to have the
big man in the heap this year. Here
is the story from the Times: w. II.
link, who played first base for st.
Joseph in the Western league last
year, has been signed by the locals.
link is looked upon as an ACC uisition.
He led the ST. Joseph team In hitting
last year with an average OF $40 and
helded 1866 in the same company. In
the Iowa state league, from which he
went to St Joseph. link batted .297
in the earlier stages of the season and
felded .98T He had more than 500
chances, with but is errors. link is
a man feet y inches tall, and
weighs close to 200 pounds. It is very
probable that in the event of his prov
ing in condition this spring Schaumyer
will not be used at first base. There
is talk of playing him from the bench.
The signing Of link makes the inheld
Of the local team complete. The out
field viii also undergo no changes
from last year. The battery staff is
all that is at present in question. For
this three catchers and ten twirlers
are under reserve.
