Come, let us liue for our children.
The man who wins is the man who does
The man who makes things hum and buzz
The man who works and the man who acts
Who builds on a basis OF solid facts;
Who doesn't sit down to NOPE and dream
Who bumps ahead with the force OF steam
Who hasn't the time to fuss and fret
But gets there every time you bet
The man who wins Is the man who wears
A smile TO cover his burden OF cares.
Who knows that the sun viii shine again
That the clouds will pass and we need the
rain.
He buckles down to a pile OF work
And never gives up and never will shlrk
Till the task is done
Let's be like him some.
Prof. Fulton of the Liberal schools
brought his father in to see us dur
ing his visit here. We we're glad to
meet him as he Is Kansan and an
admirer OF our splendid state.
Miss Viva Jones of the Arkalon
school was visitor in our city while
we we're at Dodge. We are sorry as
we always like to have a visit with
her.
We had the pleasure Of meeting
Clyde West while he was in Liberal
last week. He is doing fine In Buck
lin.
There is no JOY In life equal to the
Joy of putting salt on the tail OF an
idea.
Mr.. Rapier called on business one
day last week. He had the misfor-
tune lately to fall and break his arm.
Miss Rhoda Rosel was In to see US
the Saturday we were in Dodge City.
We are sorry that we missed a visit
with her. We always enjoy a chat
with our teachers over their trials
and joys, for it isn't always sunshine
In the teachers profession nor yet al
ways rainy weather. The good Lord
has divided 1t up about equally; as
Longfellow has beautifully expressed
1t:
Be still sad heart and cease repInlng
Behind the clouds Is the sun still shining
Thy fate Is the common fate OF all
Into each life some rain must fall
Some DAYS must be dark and dreary.
We wonder if the boys and girls in
the 9Th and 9th grades who are study
ing Civics or Civil Government know
how the Kansas legislature which Is
in session now at Topeka, Kansas,
settled the state fair question also
the Woman Suffrage question. Also
what bill our representative has in
PRODUCED into the house, on what bills
he voted nay and on what ones he
voted aye. That is the best kind of
current events, and will make Ciyics
live, interesting subject enjoyed BY
both parent and child. How did the
President of the colored school at
Quindaro get his appropriation In
creased? And what other school did
something with the legislature at the
last session.
Instead of the regulation honey
moon trip Minnesota couple are 60
ing to take a six weeks course OF
study at the Agricultural college in
that state. Then they are going to
farming. This goes to show that
some of the young people of today
are getting to be quite sensible.
We received a letter this week from
the Claims Attorney of the SantaFe
railroad In regard to the railroad re-
fusing to let one of the speakers,
Prof. McKeeyer, to board No. 3 at To
peka for Dodge city. The rail road
seems disposed to make good to Prof.
McKeeyer, but what about the teach
ers who had gone to Dodge especially
to see and hear this noted man from
the State Agricultural College.
"Dear me, Mollie," said papa, "why
are you scoldiug your dollle SOP"
Cause" said Mollle, "She's naugh-
ty. She said two and two make five,
and when | told her it was SIX, she

Teacher-"Johnny, how does it
come that your mothers name is
Brown and yours is Nevins?"
Johnny-"Well, you see the way of
