A HINT {!

Find out the fads of your
friends. Give them what they
care most about.
Once there was Il woman
whose hobby was bird cages.
She was always happy when her
friends brought her one of the
queer old things.
And once there was a rolling
stone of a man who gathered
nothing but nutcrackers wher-
ever he went--nutcrackers with
faces of beauties and men
carved on them; nutcrackers
that looked like anything ex-
cept what they were. His
friends always knew what to
give him on birthdays and
Christmas.
EVERYBODY HAS A
FAD OF SOME SORT.
The fad of the 2-year-old
may be steam engines, and the
fad of his mother may be
shoes.
The whole secret of Christ
mas is TO FIND THE FAD.
After that the store will help.

Beard Versus Brains

Col. T. Donnely Bennett, of
Elberton, Georgia, by some special
despensation of Georgia law was
lawyer and practicing when he was
seventeen. His first case was as
assistant to tn e district attorney
in the prosecution of man accused
of murder.
The defendant had for his lawyer
an elderly and dignitied member of
the bar, who wore a long flowing
and voluminous beard. The bearded
lawyer resented the interference of
the youthful Bennett and constantly
referred to him as this beardless
youth from South Carolina"
Bennett took it all in good part
until the other lawyer began to rub
it in. Then he rose snd said: May
it please Your Honor, during my
somewhat brief experience at the
bar l have had the pleasure of read
ing after such distinguished law
writer's as Blackstone, Coke, and
Littleton, and if l rightly Interpret
them it takes brains and not beard
make lawyer.
However if these distinguished
law writer's be mistaken and the
gentleman who appears for the
defense is correct, l take great
pleasure in here and now NOM
mating him for the Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the
Unsted States, as he has SO much
beard and so little brains that he is
eminently qualified to fill that high
position. Saturday Evening Post.

No matter what your future work
may be, more knowledge in great
er or less degree will tend to enable
you to handle it more intelligently.
BY enrolling, you have shown
Willingness to prepare yourself to
leave here, cleaner and brighter
man.
Observation, however, has shown
that some are, in measure liable
to become too ambitious by wanting
to grasp too much at one time, or
taking for granted that you are pro-
ticlent with the studies you are TAX
ing up, from the fact that possibly
years ago you covered them when
at school. This conclusion you
come to without trying yourself out.
By burdening yourself with too
much you are in measure not ac-
complishing anything, just skim
ming over" You cannot take the
necessary time to study hard or rea-
son out that which you are trying
to master.
Take for instance powerful loco
motive, with say hauling power Of
$500 tons. The locomotive can ac-
complish much if you don't over
load it or give it more than $500
tons to handle, but the moment you
overload it, it has lost it's useful
ness-can make no headway, and
not only retards its own progress,
but that of other locomotives that
may be on the line.
So it IS with you. Don't take on
too much tonnage" or in other
words, more studies than you can
handle, work, digest and thoroughly
understand.
The idea am trying to convey is
that what you study you should
learn thoroughly. so that the knowI-
edge acquired will be lasting and
helpful to you.
Cooperation with the superin-
tendent and teachers is very essen
tial. Follow out carefully their in
structions along the certain lines
they may advise you.
In the various classes some of the
students may be further advanced
than others. Those that are little
behind should pay particular atten-
ton to the studies they are back
ward in.

previous article in The Mirror,

Half-hearted work cannot win or
accomplish anything. By such an
attitude you are wasting your own
time as well as that of others.

Jorgensen joined the Wandering MINISTER'S

dying told the Wandering Minstrers men that ne

When at last the attention Of the Norma had
been attracted and the marooned sailors pre-

Of the many things which interest the visitor
at Laysan the great number of birds and their
absolute fearlessness are perhaps the most strk-

of birds, has very truly said:

populous colony of sooty terms we had to exercise
much care to avoid crushing their eggs and
treading on the birds which struggled panic

Midway island, now of the most important
stations on the Pacific CABLE was the scene OF
many wrecks and unsolved mysteries In the days
when the sailing vessels roved the seven seas.
Not the least of these strange events says the
San Francisco Chronicle involved the old bark

shore safely where they found an old building
erected thirty years before by party OF sur

ill fated Wandering Minstrel were marooned LOT
IA long months, subsisting on fish and the eggs
of the countless sea birds, which wheeled and
screamed over the flashing coral reefs, until res

to Honolulu.
The Wandering Minstrel's company found many
marks of wrecks on the island including broken

smaller islands close to the main island they

wooden crosses, made from drift wood, had been
