SCHOOL NOTES

Books and life are so absolutely in
terpenetrated that they can only be
regarded in the light Of a series of
cause and effect each reacting upon
the other in determining influence.
BY reading good literature, one en-
riches his mind and enlarges his own
sphere In life, The very power and
degree Of his thoughts depend large
ly on his range of reading.
Books are thus intimately associ-
ated with the very springs of ones
character. The book that he has liv-
ed with and associated with certain
phrases of growth becomes a part Of
his essential life. Ruskin says that
bright fancies, satisfied memories,
treasure houses OF precious and rest
full thoughts, which no one can dis
turb, no pain make gloomy nor pow
erty take away from us are houses
built without hands for our souls to
live in. Besides bringing consola-
ton, encouragement and entertain
ment, good reading gives a certain
degree Of energy into life, exalting
and refining Its quality and which en-
ableS one to press on to still n1gner
and nobler achievements and to more
intelligently control the problems of
destiny.

their work this month.

MAYOR WEST KILLED A BEAR.

Mayor and Mrs. West came back
a few days ago from two weeks
outing at Elmer Reese's ranch in
Pahsemari valley, where they had a
most delightful time.
Mr.. West strobe forth on several
occasions to participate in the chase
of big game and sometimes killed
game always killed the strength of
some powder. After supplying the
hotel La Reese with venison, he went
up among the pines on the high peaks
above the Ina Mini, oftungsten fame,
and started bear. Madam Bear
looked large and fat-especially large
and the Mayor pulled the trigger
hard. The bear rolled over biting at
the place where the Mayor had aim
ed He did it again and SO did the
bear.
3 At that moment another bruin
walked out of the brush too comfort
ably close to the end of the gun, but
this bear was only half grown and
one shot separated him from life.
In the meantime the big bear scoot
ed into the woods and circled around
the mountain side from gulch to
gulch and got away. Mr.. West and
another hunter followed the trail un-
til the wounds ceased to bleed, and
then they were unable to follow 1t
over the great slope Of shale rock
comprising that side of the mountain.
Mr.. West has one Of the bear skins
stretched on his barn, and tome
members of the council talk of going
back after the other.

What was that2'
Nothing much, only as soon as I

until the general fear was abated.
over in one corner he saw PlcNetzO

question which bothered Eben contin-

talking to- Miss Bonner. who seemed
to keep her nerve better than all Of
