and begin on another sheet. In this way

Try this easy way TO hem stitch: Draw the

When duh is the day. and the heart is lead,
Turn your face to the east; there is light

Dwell not in the past, but live just for to-day,
And you'll never be worsted whatever the

And never deplore st.the set OF the sun,
The loss of prize that another has won.

The chief question OF the housewife in
these seasons Of heat, is how to make the
work as light as possible, to get enough
for the family to eat and get it in the

tablespoons OF salt, two-thirds cup OF

Especial care should be taken that the
temperature OF the milk and water is Just

be destroyed. This recipe makes excel

| Why do we look at the Freshmen?
Because the color is good for the eyes.
The Botany class went on their first
trip to the wilderness Tuesday in quest
of leaves and other specimens.
There is some talk of starting Glee
Club in the High School and a proba-
bility of giving some concerts.
The Junior Economies had heated
discussion last week on the eight hour
day, both sides declaring themselves
victsrs.
One of our Sophomores has in her
possession a certain charming little
snake which has caused quite distur-
bance in school.
We are learning new song in the
High School ''The Cardinal March :"
A good, rousing song which is always
sung with great spirit by all.
The Freshmen look forward with
great anticipation to the time when
they will not have to be looked at thru
an eyeglass by the rest of the school.
The Juniors are at present studying
"Chaucer's Prologue to the Canter-
bury Tales" and the old English gives
them great deal of fun, but more
work.
The football eleven has been out
pounding the gridiron every school
night for the last two weeks under the
careful supervision of Coach Peterson
What the boys lack in beef they will
make up in team work and swiftness.
Fay Baker is attending school in Wa

TROUT FISHING AT NIGHT
Full instructions Are Given by the
Greatest Of All Anglers, lzaak
Walton.

You are to know there is night as
we'll as day fishing for trout; and
that in the night the best trouts come
out of their holds. And the manner of
taking them is on the top of the water
with a great lob or garden worm, or
rather two, which you are to fish with
in a stream where the waters run
somewhat quietly, for in a stream the
bait will not be so well discerned.
say in quiet or dead place, near to
some swift, there draw your bait over
the top of the water, to and fro, and
If there be a good trout in the hole,
he will take it, especially Il the night
be dark for then he is bold, and lies
near the top of the water, watching
the motion Of any frog or water rat,
or mouse, that swims betwixt him and
the sky; these he hunts after II he
sees the water but wrinkle or move in
one of these dead holes. where these
great old trouts usually lie, near to
their holds; for you are to note that
the great old trout is both subtle and
fearful, and lies close all day, and does
not usually stir out of his hold, but lies
In It as close in the day as the timor.
Gus hare does in her form; for the
chief feeding of either is seldom in the
day, but usually in the night. and then
the great trout feeds very boldly
