meet. The program will be the sa me
as last year except that disc throwing
will be added, and the result is that
Mrs. Hubbard is wondering what has
be,ome of her pie plates.
Mr.. Mayes has noticed for ID long
time the number of poets, cartoonists
and authors contained in the room,
and as these young hopefuls insisted
on displaying their works of art by
passing them around the room, which
of course is against the constitut
of the school and causes great deal
of trouble, he thought of bulletin
board so this week he put one on the
wall for the benefit of those who
wanted to show the rest of the class
the results of their labor without hav-
ing to break the rules of the school.
How old is Ann?'' Too hard a
puzzle to solve9 Well. then, try
this: When will the neighboring
high schools get up enough courage
to play our basket ball teamsf' AT
first the Leadvilles promised the girls
team to play return game in the
Cloud City but kept putting the date
off until they finally wrote, telling
the girls that their hall was being
repaired and that they could not play
them Then the boys intended to play
a game with the Aspen High school
&lo bat Thnra
day they sent down word that they
would be unable to play because they
had no suitable building. Now we
hope we can get the Aspens down in
the near future and show them what
the Glenwood High School team can
do and also to show them the large
buildings we have in Glenwood that
are plenty large enough TO have
basket ball contest
Many people object to school athlet-
les. being under the impression that
the pupils are apt to neglect their
studies on account of getting their
minds on basket ball, base ball and
other sports. But instead the athletics
in the high school encourages the pu-
pills to get good grades because they
must have high class standing to be
| permitted to enter the games, so that
high school athletics is one Of the
| best methods of urging pupils, es-
pecially boys, to get good marks,
For you might tell boy all you want
to about the benefit derived from
studying hard and getting his lessons
and he will go on just the sams, but
tell him that unless he gets good
mark in h,s studies he cannot play
base ball nor be in the track team,
and notice the results; he will become
one of the best scholars in the room.
We know this to be fact from ex
perience. Finis.

The Successful Al. Writer.

Advertising requires versatility Of a
high order. To win success in this field
a man must not only be able to COM
bine human interest with the strictest
accuracy of fact, but unless he is a
specialist in a certain line, taking up
advertising commissions at intervals,
he must be ready to cope with subjects
of the most diverse character. Today
he studies the methods Of making CT
CARS and the many different kinds Of
tobacco that enter therein; tomorrow
he writes monograph on enameled
tin cans, investigating the processes Of
making them in the factory, and the
day after that his topic may be break

tons, diet and health and setting him
upon a weary hunt for synonyms to
describe the erich nutty flavor" that all
breakfast foods are said to have. All
the illustrative work Of an advertising
artist must be so true to detail that it
will pass the eyes Of men who spend
their lives making the things he pic
lures. It was the manufacturer of a
widely advertised speciality who, diff
flcult to please in circulars, looked over
the manuscript submitted by an adj

The Head of the Table.

In the article on the Glengarry
branch of the Macdonalds James Lo-
gan, in his ''The Clans Of the Scottish
Highlands" says:
"At the castle of Aros the lords Of
the isles held their parliament and
passed the regal DEGREES, which distant
tribes were bound to respect The sim
pie form in which important rights
were conveyed by these princes may
be illustrated by the following brief
but binding charter, which loses in
translation from the original Gaelic:
L, Donald, the chief of the Macdon-
aids, sitting on the hill of Dun Donald
give the MacAodh a full right to Kill
mahomag from this day till tomorrow,
and so on forever A lesson was af-
forded by one of these lords which
might greatly benefit some sticklers
for presidency. He had at banquet
been placed by mistake at the bottom
Of the table, on perceiving which con-
siderable emotion arose among the
company, who dreaded the conse-
quences Of the supposed indignity, but
the great ceanncinnidh (head of his
race speedily allayed their apprehen-
sions by exclaiming emphatically,
Where the Macdonald sits, know We,
gentlemen, that is the head Of the

Some Old Time Giants.

Cajanus. Swedish giant who was
nine feet high. was on exhibition In
London in 1912, and several old hand
bills still exist which set forth the
measurements of this freak of nature
Thirty years later we have Charles
Byrne, who was eight feet four inches
in height in his stockinged feet. He,
however, died young, at the age Of
twenty-five from hard drinking. Cot
ter O'Byrne, another Irish giant, fol
lowed a few years later. He was
born at Kinsale in 1861 and at the age
of fifteen was eight feet high. This
by the time he was twenty-three had
increased to nine feet four inches, and
then he changed his name to O'Brian
in order to make people think that he
was descended from King Brian b.
roihme and went on exhibition At
that business he, of course, soon real
lied very comfortable fortune and re
tired, dying at Clifton on Sept. s, 1904.
His will especially provided that his
body should be thrown into the sea in
order to prevent the surgeons from cut
ting it up.

A Mother,a Argument.

''The most to be regretted act Of my
lffe," says commander of the navy,
'was letter l wrote to my mother
when about seventeen years of age.
She always addressed her letters to me
as my dear boy l felt at that time
I was man, or very near 1t, and
wrote saying that her constant ad-
dressing me as boy made me feel
displeased. l received in reply letter
full of reproaches and tears. Among
other things, she said: You might grow
to be as big as Goliath, as strong as
Samson and as wise as Solomon; you
might become ruler of nation or en-
peror of many nations, and the world
might revere you and fear you, but to
your devoted mother you would al
ways appear in memory in your limo
cent, unpretentious, unself conceited,
unpampered babyhood. In those days
when l washed and dressed and kissed
and worshiped you, you were my idol.
Nowadays you are becoming part Of
gross world by contact with it, and l
cannot bow down to you and worship
you, but if there are manhood and
maternal love transmitted to you, you
will understand that the highest COM
pliment that mother love can pay you
is to call you my dear boy."'"

OLA Ro1nan Rannnet..

When at its zenith the Roman en-
pire laid all the barbaric countries of
the world under contribution to supply
the tables of it's mobiles and wealthy
citizens with the fine luxuries of life.
Asia and Africa poured in the rich
spices and fruits of the tropics, Ger
many and the great north countries
raised the grains and wild berries, TIA
ly and the fertile land of the Franks
cultivated the vineyards to make or ex-
press the wines, every strip of seacoast
from the Mediterranean to the Baltic
contributed it's quota Of fish and the
forests of Brittany yielded the wild
game of the woods-birds, beasts and
fowls-for the banquets Of the proud,
dissolute rulers Of the vast empire
With the choice products of a great
world SO easily obtained there were
wanton waste, foolish extravaganza
and strange disregard of the value of
expensive luxuries, and the historian
dwelling upon these times delights in
recapitulating the various articles of
diet arranged in tempting manner up
on the grooming tables at the great
feasts and banquets. But, excepting
Nero's dish of peacock tongues and
Cleopatra's cup of wine with the dis
solved pearls in 1t, the menu of our
modern banquets would compare ia
vorably with those spread in the times
when gluttony and greed for luxury
were insidiously sapping the strength
of Rome.

EARTHQUAKES.

Their Causes, Their Frequency and
Their Two Great Belts.
There is never a day on which some
part of the earth is not shaken, and 1t
is probable that not even an hour ever
passes without some kind Of an earth
quake in some part of the earth. The
truth of this statement may be In
ferred from the fact that in Japan
alone 1881 earthquakes were recorded
between the years 1885 and 1892. The
great majority Of these shocks are ire
mors detected only by instruments or,
If noticed by man, of such slight in
tensity as to cause no alarm. Many,
however, are sufficiently strong to en-
danger life and property, and there Is
every graduation between the tremors
which only delicate instruments detect
and the earthquake which devastates
great city.
Causes for jars In the earth are many
and Of different kinds. The falling In
Of the roofs of caverns has been known
to cause earthquakes, and landslides
have caused others. These, however.
are minor causes, and the resulting
shocks are of slight Importance. A far
more potent cause for earthquakes is
volcanic action.
There are two great belts on the
earth in which either volcanoes are ac-
tive or mountains are growing or in
which the two phenomena are asso-
ciated. These two belts follow great
circles. One of these passes through
the West Indies, the Mediterranean
sea, the Caucasus and Himalaya noun
tains and is called by De Montessus
the Mediterranean or Alpine Caucasus
Himalayan belt. In this belt So per
cent Of all recorded earthquakes have
occurred. The second belt nearly en-
circles the Pacific, following the Andes,
the mountains Of western North Amer
lea, the Aleutian islands, Japan and the
Philippines. This De Montessus calls
the circum-Pacific or Andes-Japanese-
Malayan belt. In this belt have occur
erd Al per cent Of all recorded earth.
Quakes. In all the rest of the world
the recorded earthquakes equal only
per cent of the total number.
Those whose homes are outside the
two belts of frequent earthquakes are
not absolutely immune from disturb
ance, as is proved by the earthquake
at Charleston in 1886 and at New Mad
rid in 1872. But in those parts of the
globe earthquakes are not common. ;,
They occur in widely scattered locall-
ties at rare intervals and are not COM
monty of great destructiveness. In the
belts of frequent earthquakes, on the
other hand, shocks may occur in many
places at frequent intervals and occa-
sionally with great violence. San
Francisco and Santiago, for example,
are situated on danger lines in the
earth's crust, as are many other places
In the two great earthquake BELTS
