HIGH SCHOOL DEF EATED.
Go down to Defeat at the Hands of
the Forestry Braves.

the Forestry Braves.
On Wednesday evening the
High School football team (com-
posed of the boys and girls
and the School of Forestry boys
met at the fair grounds for
their first practice game. What
the high school boys lacked in
weight was more than made
up for by their excellent team
work, due to much practice and
good training, and to the right
loyal support given them by
the high school girls, who
were out in body and not
afraid of injur!ng their lungs.
Tne School of Forestry boys
were the heavier but were SER
iously handicapped by lack of
practice, having had full team
out to practice for the first
time on Tuesday evening.
Both teams played ball to
win. Throughout the first
half, which closed with a score
of 10 to 5 in favor of the high
school boys, they had the
School of Forestry boys rum
ming all over the field hunting
for the pig skin. But the School
of Forestry boys were learning
their lesson. Finding out that
there were some things they
didn't know about the game,
they took the lesson to heart,
and were not long in taking
the high school boys down the
line to the tune of two touch
downs, which with a mistake
by McCutcheon as to the loca-
ton of the goal line, left the
score at the close of the game
ID to 10 in favor of the School
of Forestry.
The game had not progressed
far into the second half when
your reporter thought he noted
a note of sadness in the screech-
es of music which had flowed
from the judges stand near by
where the high school girls
had taken a high perch that
they might the better see their
boys carry the School of Fores-
try scalps off the field. 1t is just
possible they were beginning
to feel that they had chosen the
wrong braves. Moreover, quite
noticeable quiverings in the
stentorian voice of the tall
coach, as we'll as his increas-
ingly numerous walls at the
decisions of the very efficient
officials, Supt. Smith and Prof.
Thompson, gave increasing ev-
idence that high school stock
was panicky.
p. S. To tell you the truth
[ think the School of Forestry
boys were exceedingly glad
when the time keeper called
time.
Another game has been ar
ranged for within a few days,
when both teams will be better
trained

thing by halves-always have
the best supper, finest music

Ed. Cook, of Overly, was in
Willow City on Thursday. His
sister, Miss Louise Cook, who
has made her home with him
for several years left on Thurs
day for short visit with her
brother, Andrew and family at
Bantry, after which she will
go to her former home in Con-
necticut where she will reside
in the future. Miss Cook has
many friends here who are
sorry to lose her.
The funeral of Florence, the
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Whitemore, who reside
but a short distance from town
took place on Tuesday from the
residence. The death of the
little girl, who was but eleven
years, came as a great blow to
the fond parents, as she was ill
only a few days. The funeral
services were conducted by
Rev. Ludwig, of the Presbyter-
ian church and quartette
composed of Misses Mcintosh
and Watson and Messrs. Mich
ael and Watson rendered sew
era1 beautiful vocal numbers.
The floral offerings were many
and beautiful and a large con-
course of sympathizing friends
were present to witness the last
sad rites. The interment took
place in the cemetery south of
town.
+ The devil himself is said to
be the father of lies and Ana
Mas, among mortals,, held the
championship belt for long
time, but things have improved
since the time of Ananias,
liars, as we'll as other things.
Some Of our modern corner
grocery store liars would make
Ananias look like thirty cents,
and the evil one himself trem-
bic for the safety of his title.
There are all kinds of liars, and
to classify them would take a
lot of time. Everybody is COM
PEELED to juggle the truth a
little at times or else be very
rude, for no town is free from
impertinent people who will
ask you your age, what you
paid for your new hat and
whether you like the Joneses
and Browns or not, so one
must of necessity lie a little,
but these are not the liars we
have in mind. 1t is just the
plain village liar who sits
around all day in public places
and just lies to hear himself.
He knows the affairs of every
individual, and is always ready
to tell them. If a man be sick
and his doctor is unable to say
what ails him the town liar
knows, knows when he will
shuttle off his mortal coil. If
Jones and Brown meet on the
street and converse for a few
minutes and no one else under
the sun knows what they
said, the town liar will know.
In fact he knows everything
in his mind. Every village, tbs
said, has it's liar, and the lord
of creation knows what he
made them for, but it's our.
opinion that we could do with
out them, and we wish that
when Willow incorporated as a
city, did away with the old
town pump, bought new fire
engine and built cement side
walks, that it had been possible
for her to have become still
more metropolitan by doing
away with the village liar.

TREASURES.
Have hope! Though clouds environ round
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its morn!
Have faith! Where'er thy bark is driven,
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth,
Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
Have love! Not love alone for one,
But man, as man, thy brother call,
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus give these lessons on thy soul,-
Hope, faith and love,-and thou shalt find
Strength when Hfe's surges f1ercest roll,
Light when thou else vert blind.

down before the fire, Bates entered !
with a fresh supply Of wood.

of perturbation, but he was not to be
caught off guard. Possibly he had not
heard the shots in the wood; at any
rate, he tended the fire with his usual
gravity, and after brushing the hearth
paused respectfully.
Us there anything further, sir?"
IT believe not, Bates. Oh! here's a
hammer picked up out In the grounds

He examined the implement with
care and shook his head
ut doesn't belong here, I think, sir.
But we sometimes find tools left by
the carpenters that worked on the
house. Shall I put this in the tool
chest, sir?"
Never mind. I need such thing
now and then and I'll keep it handy"

We were not getting anywhere; the
fellow was certainly an Incompatible
actor.
You must find it pretty lonely here,
Bates? Don't hesitate to go to the vii

II fancy not. But the caretaker
over at the summer resort has even a
lonelier time. I suppose. That's what
I'd call pretty cheerless job,-watch-

That's Morgan, sir. I meet him
occasionally when so to the village;
he's a very worthy person, l should
call him, on slight acquaintance"
mo doubt of it, Bates. Any time

him in for social glass, it's all right

When I plunged into the wood In

was with the definite purpose of re-
turning to the upper end of the lake

That night. as I was going quite late

through the dark hall to my room,
