"CARPE DIEM.

CARPE DIEM
The morning sun is trembling on the
stream;
The green leaves wave in the cold
morning air;
Nature uncovers to the welcome
beam,
And every sight is fair.
Earth is not now, as it hath lately
been,
In winters dull, ice-woven fetters
bound;
Flowers of all hue put on their lus-
trous sheen;
Sweet odors float around.
And birds of every wing and every
note
Pleasantly futter in the pleasant
groves,
Warbling together from melodious
throat
The story of their loves.
No storms will darken Ger the azure
way;
Nothing will hide the sunlight s
merry march;
Heaven will o'erhang the revealing
earth to-day
One h1ue unc1onded arch
Tomorrow may be dark with rain
and gloom
Fear not, but take with thanks the
present hour;
To-day all pleasures in profusion
bloom;
To-day no tempests lower.
Full wisely hath the all-ofreseeing
heaven
Hid coming sorrows from our anx-
ious eye,
And held in front cloud, when man
has striven
To read his destiny.
For if he could behold the advancing
years,
And evil shadows following in their
train,

not true? Bagwell Business College

they have secured better results in
three to four months with Charter

SCARED OFF BY SKELETON
Prospective Tenant Had No Idea OF
Mixing Up in Someone else's
Family Affairs.

A medical student out at Reserve
took home a complete set of assort-
ed human bones from the college
laboratory some time ago to work
up into first-class skeleton. One
thing and another, however, prevent
ed him from wiring the bones to-
gether, and recently when his fam
ilv moved to another location in the
east end the bones were still scat
tered about his room. He dumped
them all into a small store box to
be moved to his new home.
In carrying the box out of the
van one of the movers knocked one
of the boards loose, and a complete
skeleton of a foot-about an eight
and half D last-fell to the pave
ment.
Now, while one family was NOV
ing out of the house another family
was moving in. But when the in
going family saw that foot on the
sidewalk they called the movers off
the job right on the spot.
Not another chair went into the
house after that. And no one, not
even one of the movers, was allowed
to touch the foot. 1t remained
right there until the former occu-
pant of the house was summoned
from town to pick it up.
eff you hadn't come to move it
away I never would have gone into
the house again." said the new ten
ant. "You don't catch me mixing

asked them how the trail was ahead.
and one of them answered:
