The Secret of Hapniness.


The moment we set about the task
of making every human being we
come in contact with better for know
ing us-more cheerful, more courage
Gus, and with greater faith in the
kindness of God and man-that mo-
ment we begin to attain therhird pur-
pose Of life-personal happiness.
Would you possess the magic secret
of the alchemist which trsnsforms all
things to gold? It is unselfshpess4-or,
to use a better word, selHess8sss. He
who goes forth bent upon being al
ways kind, always helpful, in the little,
daily events OF life, wil~fnd all skies
tinted with gold, all his nights set
with stars, and unexpected flowers Of
pleasure springing up in his pathway.
And all his tears shall turn into smiles

DEWEY II
BLAINE l3.
Dewey Wins Over Blaine by
Small Margin.

The much talked of, much adver.
tised and long looked for Basketball
game between the Nelson Dewey
High School and the Blaine High
School has at last been played and
the Dewey proved their superiority
over the Blaine by score of II to 10.
The game was played last Monday
evening, and long before the hour
set for the contest, the spacious gym
nasium at the Normal began to fill up
with an eager ehrong and at s:15
every available inch of space was
utilized. The rooters Of both schools
were out in force and as the teams
made their appearance, cheer after
che err rang out for their favorites.
Capt. Bradley OF the Blaine won
the toss and chose the west basket
and the game was on. Shortly after
the game started the Dewey got
free throw on n foul and Hudson,
with The GOODNESS of a general. made
basket which set the Dewey rooters
wild. A mlnite or 80 later one Of the
Blaine team made basket which
was followed verp shortly by another
and gave tho Blaine the lead by three
points. Blaine stock at this time
was soaring and it began to look as
if the Blaine was going to have the
best of the argument, but the Dewey
took brace and by clever playing
soon tied up the scoro and little
later left the Blaine colors dragging
in the dust.
The first half ended with the Dewey
on the long end of an II to s score.
During the entire first half, with the
exception Of possibly the first four
or five minutes OF play, the Dewey
out played their opponents at every
turn.
The second half opened with
change in the Blaine lineup, but at
that they could not stop the strong
East End aggregation, and after 20
minutes Of fierce playing on the part
OF both teams, tho defenders Of the
red and white were declared the
winners by score Of II to 10.
The game throughout was one OF
the cleansst, fastest and best played
games ever pulled of at the head of
the lakes, and by winning it, the
! Dewey team has won the champion
ship OF Northern Wisconsin and will
be Superior's representative at the
