How Pausanius Died.

Pausanius. the Greek general, died
by self administered poison. When
hotly pursued by those sent to appre-
bend him on q charge Of treason and
sacrilege he took refuge in the sane
tuary of temple. Unable to remove
him by force and also unwilling to
violate the sanctuary, the officers wall
ed up the entrance and began to IN
roof the building. When he could be
seen they noticed that he was chewing
something which proved-to be a quill
filled with poison. By the time the
work had sufficiently advanced to ad-
NIT of their entrance he was In a dy-
ing condition.

The ExeIusivsness of Caste.

An English officer who some years
ago was wounded IN a battle In India
and left lying all night among the ma
tive dead and wounded tells this story:
Next morning we spied a man and an
old woman. who came to US with
basket and a pot of water, and TO
every wounded man she gave q piece
of joaree bread from the basket and a
drink from her water pot To US she
gave the same, and ! thanked heaven
and her. But the Soobahdar was a
hight caste Rajput. aud. as this wom-
an was a Chumar. or of the lowest
caste. he would receive neither water
nor bread from her. ! tried to per-
suade him to take 1t that he might
live, but he said that in our state, with
but few hours more to linger, what
was little more or less suffering to
us-why should he give up his fate
for such an object2 No; be preferred
to die unpolluted."

Tho Oriain of Oxygen.

That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin
maintained that all the oxygen in the
atmosphere probably originated from
the action of sunlight upon plants.
When our earth was q globe OF hot
liquid It contained no vegetable fuel
and probably no free oxygen. But as
it cooled Off plants appeared on Its
surface. and these began to evolve
oxygen through the medium Of the
sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus de-
rived we depend for the maintenance
of life by breathing. When we burn
coal or other vegetable fuel we use up
oxygen. and II is to plants again that
we owe the restoration of the oxygen
thus lost to the air. II they failed to
keep up sufficient supply the atmos-
phere would gradually part with Its
oxygen, and the inhabitants Of the
earth would disappear In consequence
Of asphyxiation.

SOMETHING For HEADACHE

Nothing else, aside from money, is
so universally sought for as cure for
headache. Headache powders are not
safe and they give only temporary
re-lef IN any event. The chocolate
coated and capsule shaped pills called
Sherman Headache Remedy and sold
by druggists and dealers at 10c and
PC. are recommended as the best
headache cure.

The Valedictory which falls to the
one having the highest average rank
tor the four years, was given by Mgr
tie Goodrich. She said in part:
Tonight We are all reviewing our
school life. Our failures. our success
es, diffic dlties overcome, and pleas
ures enjoyed, all these come before
our minds. And with the thoughts OF
the past come also thoughts OF the
future. We cannot tell what lies in
store for US, but whatever may be
our destinies we can always retain
in the secret recesses of our memor-
les the pleasant recollections of the
happy days spent in High school.
To you, our teachers, we wish 10
express our appreciation and gratitude
for the efforts you have made in our
behalf during our high school course
We probably do not realize the sacri-
fees and labor we've demanded Of you
but we do know, that you have striv-
en-, not only to increase our knowl-
edge, but also to inspire within us
hl6n ldcdls vi u ut uldnuOOd anu u ut
womanhood.
TO you, our schoolmates, whom we
are leaving behind, we say good bye
with the sincere wish that you may
have all the joys which High school
life affords.
Juniors, you tonight will attain the
dignity of Seniors. The best year of
YOUR course lies still before you.
Strive TO make the most of it, not
only in its pleasures, but also in its
work.
And now, o, class of 1910, the time
has come for us to bid farewell to
one another. Although after tonight
we all may never meet together again
yet our friendships will not be broken
and our interest in each other will
not cease. In whatever may come to
us in life, let us be loyal to each
other loyal to the memories of our
happy High school days, and best OF
all, to our own selves.
Our lives are albums written through
With good or i'll, with false or true,
And as the blessed angels turn
The pages of our years,
God grant they read the good with
smiles,
And blot the i'll with tears"
