sl- A Fiuht in the Air.

W. F. Webb, the author of "EUhsah fand,' tells this cat story: :
 The chicken hawk of the west IS . savage and dangerous enemy. but once one of these air pirates got worsted.t was sitting in front of the doctors Of Ace when he wk shot down with vol. derful rapidity of wins-so fast thaj it's shadow seemed hardly to reach fhs earth before It's body. It pounced upon tho doctors favorite kitten, which lay asleep on the grass, and made off with 1t. At an elevation of about fifty fee, puss recovered from It's surprise and went to work for liberty. Its feliue miud was exercised to astonisl1men' and wrath. Twisting like wense! its claws came uppermost and to my straining gaze q sight presented itsei. much like q feather bed being ripped open in mida;r. The amazed hawk received new light on the subject ot prey, let go and made of like badly plucked goose, but the cat came safel, 10 eartE--on its feet.

II Is impossible for selfish man to
possess friendship.
Edward Bosworth, one who has
specialized in friendship s,id:-"The
readiness To deny ones selfish inclin-
atoms and to take into account the
interests Of others, is The essential
condition of all friendship. The sell
fish man can in the nature of the case
have no friendship with God or man. T"
lcan express no better wish for the
Class of 1908 than that through the
coming years we may indeed through
work and friendship grow into these
best things, character and happiness.
May we find the footpath to peace,
whose guide-posts Van Dyke has
given us:-"To be glad of life, because
1t gives you the chance TO love and u
work and to play and to look up at the
stars; to be satisfied with your posses
siOns, but not contented with your
self until you have made the best OF
them; to despise nothing In the world
except falsehood and meanness, and
to fear nothing except cowardice: to
be governed by your admirations
rather than your disgusts; to covet
nothing that is your neighbours except
his kindness of heart and gentleness
of manners; to think seldom OF your
enemies, often of your friends. and
every day of Christ; and to spend as
much time as you can, with body and
with spirit, i'm Gods out Of-doors-
these are the little guide-pusts on the
foOt-path to peace"

Brighter Than

Edwin Milton Royle, In "My Boy
jack" has not only written a story,
conceived a plot and formed situa-
tiOn-, but he has written q dialogue
that will compare with the best liter
airy efforts of the present day. His
lines are terse, epigrammatic, concise,
euphoniOus and to the point. Here
are few Of Mr.. ROyle's most pungeut
remarks:
Jack Paden, Jr.-"Good resolutions
are like falnting women, they want to
be carried right out"
John Paden, ST.. -"What can you
expect of man who parts his hair in
the middle?"
Jack Padcn, Jr.-"A habit, sir,
acquired from owning only the half OF
anything"
John Paden. Sr.-'I wasn't protect
ed by any tariff bill, had to hustle. "
Jack Paden, Jr.-"Blessed are the
meek for they expec to inherit the
earth"
John Paden, Sr.-"Who is she? Such
ornamental Sentiments are always
the embroidery TO some petticOat.
Jenny Merriweather-"Fi man
ners and good grammar are all right,
but they don't satisfy the landlady."
John Padden, Sr.-"Look here, you
talk too much; silence is golden, you'll
die in the poorhouse. u"
Jack Paden, Jr.--"How did you get
rich?"
John Paden. Sr.-"Yes. 1 had two
children, a boy and girl, but the
girl got all the brains there were in
the family"
Jack Paden, Jr.-"N here din she
get them from, the mothers side Of
the family?"
arguerite-"Critics should be able
men, honest men, kind men, for they
make or mar the lives of 30 many poor
strugglers for the meanest thing in
life-public favor"
John Paden, Sr-"Jack my Boy, 1
love you; I'm lonely and want you.
Come home and you can write as
much poetry as you like, and III read
every damn line of it,"
