(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
Laugh and the world laughs with you.
Weep and you weep alone;
For this sad old earth must borrow IT'S
mirth-
1t has troubles enough OF its own,
Sing and the hills will answer
Sigh and It's lost on the air:
The echoes rebound to Joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice and men will seek you,
Grieve and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all Your
pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many.
Be sad and you lose them all;
There are none to decline your uectared
But alone you must drink the gall.
Feast and your halls are crowded,
Fast and the world goes by.
Succeed and give and 1t helps you to live.
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lorclly train,
But one by one We must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

TWELFTH TEACHER
ADDED TO FACULTY
Winnfieid's High School Now
Has an Even Dozen
Teachers.

The faculty of the Winfield
High School now numbers twelve,
another teacher having been ad-
ded Monday ut a meeting OF
the Board of Trustees.
The school was crowded to the
limit, and beyond, before the
holiday vacation and when the
school re-opened a number OF
new pupils entered. This made
it necessary to employ another
teacher. The Board of Trustees
was called together Monday and
the twelfth teacher was employed,
Miss Grace Hyde being selected
for the position.
The matter of room was
another subject which the Board
had to consider, every class room
in the building being filled to ar
uncomfortable degree. 1t was
decided to use the auditorium fol
a class room and the situation j;
now partly relieved. This ar
rangement will probably do fol
the present term but it is con
ceded that something must b
done before the next session
opens in the fall, and q new
building seems to be the onl,
remedy.

ANOTHER LETTER
FROM UNCLE BOB
Compliments The Sentinel and
Asks Some Pertinent
Questions.

L Feceiseu copy oI 1ne Centi-
mel yesterday and to my great
surprise / found it to be a parish
paper that will measure up with
almost any of our country papers.
1t is 9ewsy and interesting.
Roosevelt's stinging message GER
talnly did interest me. His head
Is level and he certainly stands
square to his opposers. 1 glory
in his manhood.
But as to The Sentinel. 1t
does seem to me that every man
in the parish ought to take The
Sentinel and keep posted as to
the parish news. Not that | am
prejudiced. but it does seem to
me that the people ought to
take a paper published at the
parish seat. I like the Union
Banner. It is an up-to-date pa
per published in the cause of the
union and the farmer. but we
want the political news as we'll
and I am satisfied that The Senti-
mel will give satisfaction if any
paper will.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l waut to ask
you, did you ever hear of such a
thing as 'shush money!" that is
money paid to any one to "dry
up" and not advocate an enter
prise that would be detrimenta
to the large property. holderi
Don't you think such a thing
could be? l am satisfied that
large real estate holders could
unite and stop any effort on the
part of the public officials to levy
a tax that would pull money from
their pockets to benefit the com
mon people. lam also confident
that there are voters who could
be pulled the same way with q
few dollars. They would let theil
children grow upin ignorance fol
q few dollars.
Now for instance, how easy
could q FIVE mill tax to work the
public roads be pulled off by 8
flew dollars, and y school tax the
same way.
| It frets me to see the children
|growing up in ignorance and the
old oxen, horses and mules drag
lying through the mud under lasf
when it could be better.
