A story was recently told Of the elder

court justice. In the early days of

chair after what seemed to him an

The time fast is approaching for the
advent Of the sweet girl and bright boy
graduates.
1t is pleasurable indeed to have them
make their appearance. Their radiant
smiles and their general manner Of con-
tidence in the belief Of their ability to
begin the real battle Of life are stimulat-
ing. They are at the halcyon period Of
their careers when fame and success seem
to be theirs only for the asking. Fame is
just little ways off, SO it appears to
them, and success is just around the cor
ner.
But with school life, and all its associa-
tions left behind, there comes the real
road Of endeavor The way to fame that
seemed 50 short, mysteriously but unde-
niably becomes long and arduous
course. And success is not found lurking
around the first corner, nor the second
nor the third. It means the traversing OF
a road that tries the real stamina Of body
and mind before the corner around which
success is to be found is attained.
The graduates, the sweet girl and the
bright boy, standing at the beginning Of
the road, see it as a vista of loveliness.
Distance softens the ruggedness Of it's
course. To them it is aower-lined and
its course is through pleasant places.
Let them always retain their high
ideals. Let them always look for the
bright and the good, and thus retain
their optimism, their pathways will be
made all the more pleasant.

BEST BALL OF
THE SEASON"
Local CiaarmaIsers' Dance Draws
.. Large Crowd and Was
a Grand Success

On last Friday night one Of the most
pleasurable social events Of the season
was participated in by large gathering
Of lovers of terpsichore when the cigar
makers gave their annual dance. Visitors
from Jordan Valley, DeLamar and other
nearby points were present, and all voted
the affair big success. There was no
rowdyism or disturbance, SO often noticed
on such occasions, to mar the pleasure of
the forty-five or fifty couples present.
No pains nor expense was spared by
Messrs. Swan and Olsen, who had full
charge of the dance which lasted until
six O'Clock the next morning. Supper
was served in the banquet hall upstairs.
The music which was furnished by
Prof. Smiths orchestra was pronounced
the best ever heard at dance in Silver.
Many compliments were paid the Profess
sor for his indefatigable endurance and
the excellent quality Of dance music he
played
Messrs. Swan and Olsen were urged by
many to give another dance soon, but no
definite plans have as yet been made.
However, Mr.. Swan informs us that there
will surely be another cigarmakers' ball
given on March 3lst, 1910.

INFORMA-
TION TO TEACHERS

The following letter which has just been
written by President Black of the Lewis

superintendent in securing a larger num-
Der Of better trained teachers this school

second grade and first grade certificates,
together with such professional subjects
as are required for such certificates.
There will be no tuition charged for
such courses and instruction will be given
by regular faculty members. Credit for
all professional courses win be allowed to

America in the Breach

On this account there are intimations in
the London, Paris and Berlin press that
the United States military demonstration
in Texas aims at further acquisition Of
territory. 1t is significant, however, that
Mexico which is nearer at hand, and
which has direct interest in the move
ment, has no such suspicion. Her states

Limantour down, say that they take our
governments explanation at its face val

astute as that of some Of the European
and Asiatic countries, but it means what
it says every time. The words which it
use generally meet the old Roman gram
marian's test in that they carry their inn
port on their face, and cannot be made
to tell any other story than that which

Crossed hx the corpss.

Most Of Walthamstow is too modern
to have much mystery about it. but
the Walthanlstow strip of Leyton
preserves the. memory of a curious old
rule Barely hundred yards broad
this strip of land. belonging TO Wal
thamstow parish. ran right across Ley
ton from the lea to Snaresbrook, par
allel with the southern border of Wal
thamstow. How came Leyton to be
crossed by this alien strip? Leyton
it was said, had once refused to bury
a body found in the lea; Walthamstow
came forward to do It And In such
cases it was the rule that the volun-
teering parish might take from the
other as much land right through to
the other side as the men who carried
the corpse could cover walking in line
hand in hand arms extended. The
inconvenient result worried both par
ishes until the growth of population
made new parishes necessary.-London

MODERN WOMAN is
CALLED A PARASITE

A dispatch from New York says if Pro
fessor Scott Nearing, who holds chair in
the economic department of the Univers
ity Of Pennsylvania, does not get in bad''
with the modern woman then wonders
never cease. Hear him:
IF the women Of today continue to be
the economic burdens to men that they
are now, they viii ruin this country just
as the dissolute women of Rome ruined
that empire.
The wife no longer contributes to the
family income By creating values. With
the increased standard Of elaborate dress-
ing, she is often its chief burden.
The woman Of today is in the third
stage. First, she was slave, creature
that might be beaten by her lord and
master Second, came state Of CO.
operative labor with the cook stove and
the loom. Now we have the parasite wo-
man. The whole idea of the woman of
the middle and upper classes is to sponge
upon the men. 2
And whose is the fault 2" was asked.
Nobody is to blame, answered Prof.
Nearing. 4'The women Of today are NOT
TO blame for what they are, any more
than are the men. But the time has
come when two roads open before the
women Of the future Either she must
to be parasite and go down to
ruin, dragging nations with her, or she
must become a producer with an econom-
ic necessity for her existence.

Strange storehouses,

In the old birds nests tbat are placed
near the ground in shrubs and small
trees close to hazelnut bushes and bit
tersweet vines one will often find
a handful Of hazelnuts or bittersweet
berries. They were put there by the
white footed mice and the meadow
mice. which visit these storehouses reg
ularly. Very often a white footed
mouse will cover a birds nest with
fine dried grass and inner bark and
make a nest for itself.-New York

IOWA JoLTs MISSOURI VALLEY
Students and Athletes Want to Quit
sFNIisft'' Conference

Iowa City, Ia, Feb. 17.-'sThose
sporting writer's and correspondents
from other schools west Of the Mis-
sissippi have nothing on the local stu
dent body when it comes to reading
Iowa out of the Missouri Valley con-
ference. Almost to a man, local fol-
lowers of athletics in any form are in
favor of an immediate and decisive
withdrawal from the misfit organiza-
ton bearing that name and a closer
union with the time tried big eight
With this as it's opening paragraph,
The Daily Iowan, the Official publica-
ton of the student body at the State
university of Iowa, came out this
morning with denunciation of the
action of Iowa of remaining in the
Missouri Valley conference and argued
strongly for an immediate withdrawal
from that organization the culmina-
ton of the Drake controversy, which
has so recently arisen and the split
with Missouri over the spying affair
of last year and two years ago.
Accompanied in the article appear
the expressions of sentim ent from the

them Captain elect Murphy Of the
football team, former Track Captain

Loud in Their
Praise of it
ROOT JUICE is ACCOMPLISHING
WONDERS.

The more people know of Root Juice
the more confidence they have in the
merits of the remedy. That it is max
ing many remarkable cures throughout
the country is easily proved by the
scores OF people who are praising it.
Many who use it a short while are so
loud in praise of it that their neigh
bors crowd into the drug store to get
the health-promoting Juice. Usually
one bottle will convince and it is but
seldom that five or six bottles does not
make a complete cure of indigestion,
nervous weakness, rheumatism and
other troubles arising from weaken
ed condition Of the stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels. Root Juice does so
much good because it removes the
canse. 1t heals and tones the organs
which make and filter blood. Those
who suffer with gastric ulcers, bloat-
ing, bleching and other symptoms of a
diseased stomach should take Root
Juice, by all means, as its healing,
soothing and tonic properties are I'M
surpassed. All weak, thin, debilitated,
nervous people are in need of Root
Juice. They are glad to sell it at
Arnold drug store, 523 Kansas avenue,
because of its great merits, which can
be proved by scores of people living in
this locality.

RoURKE LIKES WESTERN ACTIo.
Approves Waiver Rule and the Four
Trip Plan.

Omaha, Feb 17-Pa Rourke re-
turned from the field of operations
Tuesday morning highly enthusiastic
over the result attained at the West
ern league schedule meeting and con-
verified into an ardent admirer of the
baseball spirit of St. Joseph. Pa places
an emphatic stamp of approval upon
the waiver rule of the league constitu-
ton and upon the four-trip schedule,
although he admits that the four-trip
plan is but an experiment.
1.-THE four-trip plan is going to be a
decided boost in the interest of the
game" said Rourke. 1.-THE public does
not always want to see the team at
home twenty eight days and playing
each of the visiting clubs four games.
Three games are plenty and in the
twenty-one days a team is home now
it will play seven teams. The plan
will cost something more in railroad
the long jumps will be partly eliminat-
ed. I'm in favor of it and think it will
be a success. The doing away with
double-headers is one of the best parts
of the schedule. Double-header games
deteriorate the game and are a bad
thing.
"The waiver rule we merely adopted
to protect ourselves. Their. seems to
be some misunderstanding about the
part pertaining to major leagues.
Hereafter when a major league pur-
chases a player from the Western
league it can not lease or sell that
player back into this league without
first giving the club from which it
bought the player a chance to pur-
chase him. back

colleges signed up for the relay race.
Michigan and Nebraska has sent word
that their teams would be here, and
others of the collegiate SQUADS are ex-
pected daily.
In this relay each of the teams will
run $50 yards, and the race will be
the same as a run on a two-mile out
door track. The relay races are all
ways the interesting events and with
three crack teams such as these en-
tered the honors will be little more
than close.
Kansas also sends word that it will
be represented in the pole vault, high
jump, fifty-yard dash and hurdle races

Kansas City Young Mems Christian
association will be present in force and
prepared to take away some of the
first place ribbons. The Young Mems
Christian associations of Omaha, Lin
coin, Sioux City, Des MONIES and Kan
sas City probably will have teams en-
tered in an association relay race.
