SEE HERE, BOYS!
II E.odo.laE

a.. IeOT8e TSucTlCk.I
An engine never gets to Boston If it is
headed for Chicago-does it boys?
If it wants to 90 somewhere it must
head that way-musn't 1t?
Well, l want to know which way
every one of you boys is headed. You're
going somewhere-everybody is going
somewhere. General Grant was headed
for the army when he was young, and
Columbus was headed for America when
he was boy studying geography. He
looked ahead and set his eyes on where
he wanted to 60, and he just went there,
even though peogle laughed at him and
called him crazy.
Every boy ought to be headed some
where. He ought to be going there
with all the steam turned on and all the
wheels moving. I don't mean that he
ought TO know what trade or business
be lie gSing to take up. Maybe he's too
young to do that, though 1t won't hurt
him to think about 1t and see what he
likes best.
But what / mean Is, that you ought to
know what kind Of man you're going to
be. Do you want to be strong? Do you
want to Know whole lot? Do you want
to have people respect you? Do you try
to make the world better place to live
in? Do you want to have nice things, a
good job, and be healthy?
Or do you want people to call you a
"duffer" and "loafer," and have only
street "bums" for friends, and no money
and job only at shoveling dirt? DO you
want to have weak muscles and be nerve
less, have a terrible temper, and be sick
often?
Quick, now, decide! A fellow must be
going in one of these directions, even
though he doesn't know 1t. Which way
are you goingP Are you going the right
way?

School House Burned at Mexico.
CHRISTMAS EVE FIRE WITH LARGE LOSS
AND RESIDENCES ENDANGERED.

Fire was discovered on the evening of
Monday, Dec. "a, in the basement of the
Central School House in Ridlonville, Ia
The town of Mexico. The blaze had got
a good start, and before any effective
work could be done on it by the firemen,
1t was so far gone that the efforts of the
men were devoted principally to pro-
tecting the residences near by which
were threatened.
The house of N. l.. Keene opposite the
school house was badly scorched, and
would probably have been lost but fol
the timely arrival of assistance from
Rumford Falls. The house of William
II. Davis was also in danger, but was
saved.
The Central School House was located
on Granite Street in Ridlonville. 1t was
built in 1898, greatly enlarged in 1900,
aud some more than $500 had been ex,
pended in improvements during the past
year. The loss is reckoned at Sl5, 200,
with insurance of $500. Besides the
high school, the building accommodated
seven intermediate grades, making nine
rooms in the building.
The building was completely destroy
ed, with all its contents. The cause is
not known, though it is conjectured that
it caught from the heating apparatus
No schools were in session, but the fires
were kept going, and the janitor had
banked them about noon of that day
when there was nothing wrong.

A former Bowdoinham man had &C.
casion to cook the dinner for several
farm hands and as dessert he happily
thought of rice which he vowed was
easily cooked. "Let's see," he said, 81
think a bowl full apiece will be sui.
ficient," so into the kettle of boiling
water he measured out the quantity.
The snowy cereal bulged over the side
on to the stove and filled the room with
an unpleasant odor. He hastily filled
another dish but under the kettle was a
roaring fire and the rice foamed. Dishes
of every description were filed with the
hot rice and finally the host procured
boiler into which the surplus from the
kettle was thrown. The laborers ate q
late dinner that day.

And growled with all their might.

Around the angry pair,

And viewed the quarrel DER,
Then up she stepped and neatly swept
Each kit across the floor,
Then followed up with hearty cum
Bestowed with anxious care
That each should get what came to IL
And neither lose Its share.
Two little kittens put on their mittens
And cuddled on the rug.
With pave outstretched each others necks
They held In loving hug.

And viewed their peaceful state.
She loudly purred and this heard
