The high school basketball team

it was going to be close and for the
first few minutes neither side was able
to score a field basket. Peoria could
not stand the strain, however, and
after holding out this length of time
the boys from the distillery city began
to weaken and the game became very
much one-sided
The local boys put up an excellent
exhibition and Coach Gray and their
admirers were well satisfied with their
showing. Peoria was thought to have
an excellent team inasmuch as they
had not met with defeat thus far this
year and were claiming championship
aspirations. The Rock Island students
are considerably elated over the easy
victory of their team and they are
now expressing the hope of having the
champion team of the state.

Laughter.

Overindulgence in laughter is repro
bated by Emerson. Explosions of it,
he says, should be under strict control.
and be quotes approvingy the saying
Of Lord Chesterfield, II am sure that
since had the use OF my reason no hu-
man being has ever heard me laugh"
But Emerson is not altogether consist
ent IN this matter, for. whereas in one
passage he refers to laughter as a
contemplate squeal of joy" in an
other it becomes a pleasant spasm,"
and he gratefully acknowledges 1.-The
rest and refreshment we get from the
shaking Of the sides" Moreover. he
admits that Ito see a man in n high

Presumably If the man is bald and the
road is muddy even Chesterfield might
be led to emit a contemplate squeal.-
