Burnt Noses They Play Conspicuous Part in the
 Game of Love.

Your nose looks like a bologna eausage," she said with the crue frankness of close friend
 Why shouldn't it?" he answered de iantly. I've been on the links all day"
 Then she laughed, leaving him un certain whether she was laughing al his nose or his joke. Uncertainty is painful emotion, es. pecially when it Is question why one is being laughed at. He felt de pressed. melancholy. He had meant to boast of having made the IS holes in 76. He had expected to be con- graduated and admired. to have his masculine vanity flattered And she had gone away after laughing at his nose without giving him a chance to tell of his prowess.
 But I will win her yet" he said to himself. "The next time I play golf l will wear a sun mask"
 And the next day it rained
 Being unable to stay in the house and commune with his thoughts, he went outdoors and communed with them. The sobbing wind drove the rain under his umbrella. His soul was on fire. but that did not keep his clothes dry. And just as the sun had begun to shine again and the fit of blues was being evaporated into the blue of the atmosphere he met her once more and again she laughed.
 Are you trying to wash your nose down to it's proper size and color?" she asked
 After she was gone it occurred to him that he should have said some thing to the effect that it was cruel for young women to inflict blows on other peoples noses. but he did not think of that in time.
 In state of desperation he deter mined to invite her to go rowing with him and see if the effect of the sun on her own nose did not make her bit sympathetic.
 Like takes to like" he reasoned, "and when noses develop an affinity for one another 1t may happen that hearts also will beat in unison"
 But she prudently sheltered her face with a parasol and mischievously asked him whether. if his arms should give out. he could not row the boat home with his splendidly developed nose,
 He rubbed vaseline on his nose that night, but 1t did not soothe his heart.
 He wished she would do something to imperil her life. so he might rescue her and make himself hero. but she was as careful of her life as she was of her complexion.
 Don't you ever so automobilingi" he asked.

Emmet School Notes.

We are proud of the way that our basket ball boys held down the Hope team last Saturday. At the close of the first half the score stood 14 to II in favor of Emmet. But the Hope team raj. lied and rolled up C points in the second half making the final score i1 to 14 in favor of Hope. The teams were pretty we'll matched and the game was a, contest of brains and agility.
 Miss Hartsfield's Halloween en- teTtainment was enjoyed by all who attended it. Miss Hartsfield was too generous With us and gave us more than we paid for.
 Miss Alice Garland gave a Hale ioween party last Saturday even ing and it was enjoyed immensely by the school children and by a number of others who according to Flimflam, must have come in from the surrounding country. There were witches and hobgob- lins, dark stories of old women and black cats, a fortune teller, and various other amusing features Miss Alice is a capital entertainer and it is always q pleasure to visit her home.
 ExaminatlOnS are over and we can alll breathe freely again. and some of the teachers thought that they had no friends on the hi1l last Thursday and Friday.
 Some of our pupils are develop ing bump of poetry and the fol- laowing ode to examination has been unearthed;
 Oh. that examination day It is d-nation I must say.
 It is worse than excommunicaI-

 With all it's blamed complication
 But is fit remuneration TO the boys of any nation
 To he abe in their old age to
 say
 We have trod the rough and nar.

 Work on the play is progressing sT!wsy but surely. We expect .-''s to be the best production ever n'ac"d on our stage. It will bo ~'vN'n about the middle of Novem- ber.
 The recital given by Miss Kaufb mans pupils last Friday night wes well attended and thoroughl ay enjoyed by all. Miss Kaufman is a most excellent teacher and the progress made by many of her pupils is little short of wonderful. We are expecting great things In a musical way from this depart ment.
