A New Poem.

Nelson Gillette. the Whiting hig
school poet, has composed the follow
Ing poem, THE High School Student,
In which he touches on the students a
each stage during his high schoc
career:
The freshman enters high school
With trousers new and long,
He enters on his studies
With a very happy song.
He studies very hard
At morning. noone and night.
His algebraic problems
Are nearly always right
The sophomore is lazy
As lazy as can be;
He seldom studies anything
Except geometry.
There often is behind his book
A scent novel too
Just as though he
Had nothing else to do
The junior has ambitions
That soar up like a dove;
At last they fall to earth again,
And then he falls in love.
He always keeps in mind that he
Must give a long grafton:
But wishes all the time that he
Might have a long vacation.
The senior is the one that
Looks wise all the time,
And in his pocket never has
A nickel or a dime.
he graduates, and then he goes
To work upon the section,
Or else becomes the president
At the very next election.

by them. Shooting. killing, posses. and

shot anyone knows anything about,

the article, and from the truth there is
in it, he must have been badly shot
at that, only this charge must have
come out of a bottle.
It is said that workers are engaged
at present in securing the lease of Ger

coming automobile race from farmers
adjoining the course, and that they
are meeting with great success in their
efforts, the farmers seeming to look
with great favor on the proposed race.
Ground for grandstands. tents. hospital

rented from the farmers along the
course and the work of securing this
space is being done at once.

the safes, and the whole injury is suf--

finding of the Bailey rig, also lends a
more favorable aspect to the proceed

of the Chicago papers made it.

called for the leather for manufacture
ing into fancy slippers, boots, travelling
bags, belts, card cases, music rolls and
so forth An immense demand was
soon created for it, resulting in the
slaughter of many thousands of the
animals every year, giving employment
to hundreds of men. The demand soon
exhausted the productive capacity OF
this country and large numbers of skins
were imported from Mexico and Gen.
trail America.
The consumption Of this leather at
present is greater than ever before,
and owing to the large importations
the market price is somewhat less than
a few years ago. The output of the
tanneries of the United States approx
mates 100000 skins annually, worth

The self-Improvement Habit.

The very reputation of having an
ambition to amount to something in
the world, of having a grand life-aim,
Is worth everything, says writer in
Success Magazine The moment your
associates find that you are dead-in-
earnest; that you mean business that
they cannot shake you from your de-
termination to get on in the world,
or rob you of your time or persuade
you to waste it in frivolous things, you
will not only be an inspiring example
to them, but the very people who are
throwing away their time will also adj
mire your stand, respect it, and profit
by it, and you will thus be able to pro-
tect yourself from a thousand annoy
ances and time-wasters, and expert
ences which would only hinder you.
In other words, there is everything
in declaring yourself. in taking a stand
and thereby announcing to the world
that you do not propose to be failure
or an ignoramus; that you are going
to take no chances on your future;
that you are going to prepare yourself
for something out of the ordinary,
away beyond mediocrity, something
large and grand.
The moment you do this you stand
out in strong contrast from the great
mass of people who are throwing away
their opportunities and have not grit
and stamina enough to do anything
worth while, or to make any great
effort to be somebody In the world.

CoINERs STEAL BELLS.
| Taken from Church and Jail-Metal
of COuntePfeiters.

Taken from Church and Jail-Metnl
of COunterfeiters.
The strange theft of church bell
from the chapter house of Southwark
cathedral the other day was paralleled
some few years ago by the mysterious
disappearance of the big bell of a IA
nous English Jail. 1t was in it's place
one evening and the next morning 1t
had vanished. The affair was kept a
secret from the press, in accordance
with the traditional policy pursued by
our prison authorities, and for a long
while nobody knew what had become
Of the missing article
Eventually, however, 1t leaked out
that it had been stolen by one of the
convicts with the connivance Of a war
der The thief was professional
coiner whose period of detention was
on the point of expiring and his rea-
son for desiring the acquisition of so
much good metal is sufficiently obvi-
GUS to need no explanation.

purpose, although other ends have
been had in view in the past by steal
ers of such articles. There was, for
instance, the case of the antiQuary
who stole the famous st. KILN bell
from its place in the tower of KILN
Church in Perthshire.
The vulgar believed that the bell If
surreptitiously carried away would
extricate itself from the hands of the
thief of it's own accord and return
home ringing all the way; and the
antiquary, when called to account,
pleaded that he took the bell in order
to prove the falisty of this particular
popular superstition Then there was
that Ralph the Rover" of Southey' S
well-known ballad who stole the Inch
cape bell in order that peaceful mer-
chantmen might be wrecked upon the
dreaded reef. He persisted himself,
with all his crew, because of the alb
sence of it's warning note, fact
known to every schoolboy.-Pearson' S

If fat catches fire throw salt on it at

A slice of onion in a dish of water

1t is said that the flavor of chicken

The parafin paper which comes
around soap is excellent for waxing

out the paraffin. 1t will be found to
serve the purpose temporarily as well
as the wax.

DOESN'T GO TO MARKET.

Under Present Conditions the Mar
kets Come to Hotel stewards.
II run over to the market about
once a week to keep in touch with it,
but the modern hotel steward no longer

sense. He is too busy. He would have
to spend the whole day there. In 9TH

the dealers, and that works all right,
for they could not afford to send in.
ferior stuff. If they did, it would go
right back to them, and they would
also run risk of losing business. We
also depend upon them to notify us
by telephone when they have anything
especially fine on hand. You see, there
is always a limited supply Of delica-
cies, and the hotel steward who is en-
terprising gets what he wants of them.
For instance, l had the first fresh
mackerel that reached New York. That
was Tuesday. Then in the middle of
the week I captured small shipment
of peaches, nectarines and Japanese
plums that came in from South Africa.

number of them. The fruit is red,
