snarl the big cat rolled over on his back to have his belly scratched.
 ''The man then sank to his knees, al- ways keeping his hands In motion over the glossy fur, and with his foot drew toward hima collar attached to chain This he snapped round the beasts neck and, rising to his feet, laid hold of the chain and dragged the tiger out. - 'Thls was only the second time that the cage had been entered. As soon as the tiger was outside he espied the watching party and started for them, but came up short on the collar.

Nature designed men and women to live out of odors the most of the time where the sun can strike their faces, where the pure air can get to their lungs.

Then take that rose and place 1t In the sunshine It will open and bloom In all Its glory We'll, boys and girls and old boys and girls are much more finely organized structures than the rose bush which gives us these wonderful blossoms.

It Is frequently remarked that the sense of vision Is by no means as keen
 in the civilized man as 1t is in the sav- age. The same Is claimed to be true of the senses of hearing and of smell. The Indian can distinguish objects at . remote distance which are invisible to his more highly evolved companion. He can detect sounds which the scholar recognizes only in slight degree and after closest attention. The difference is not 50 marked in regard to odors, but 1t is said that comparing ourselves with the ancient Romans the sense of smell is also degenerating.

written by former Principal George

Where Mr.. Fuller seeks an educa-

stand against British aggression. In
company with some other students he
visited Concord and Lexington last
month on the one hundred and thirty
second anniversary OF the stirring
events Of April 10, 1775.
We are sure that our readers will
enjoy Mr.. Fuller's letter. 1t is very
well written, and the subject matter
is so full Of interest as to be well

orphan from infancy she was adopted
by her uncle. Mordecai, who, recog-
nizing her great natural beauty,
trained her in the accomplishments
OF highest womanhood. She was
chosen by the king Of the realm to
be his wife and queen. She did not
disclose her nationality, Haman was
premier and favorite OF the king
Haman hated Mordecai because he
would not worship him as the king
commanded He did not know Nor
decai's relation 10 the queen. To be
revenged he obtained a decree to de.
stroy all the Jews in the provinces.
Mordecai discovers the plot and
charges the queen to petition the
king for the safety of her people,
which she does at the peril OF her
life, ou account of the law that no
one shall 60 unto the king unbiddep.
The king hears her petition and
Haman is defeated. Haman has pre-
pared galows for Mordecai. An
attendant informs the king OF the
fact. The king orders Haman to be
hanged from it, and proclaims Nor
decai premier in his stead. After
this the people rejoice.
