huge success iii every respect.
Some of the designs were the most
elaborate ever seen here and the
display. taken as ii whole, was
highly creditable.
The gaily decorated boats. NOV
ing across the water, with their
thousands of japanese lanterns
formed a picture of beauty and
brilliancy never to be forgotten.
The line formed in the lower
lake below the island and slowly
passed along the boat pier and
beach, then up the lake, then turn
ing, passed down the lake again.
1t is estimated that between fifteen
hundred and two thousand specta-

first, second and third prizes for
single boats. The prizes for floats
were awarded by the judges as fol-
lows: First prize, large silver
canoe, to the F. H. Farrell float,

design, presenting the scene as
pictured by the poet. The second
prize went to II. d. Harrison, whose
brilliantly lighted float represented
the circular machine. known as the
"Ocean Wave.' The prize was a
beautiful silver soap box. The
third prize was awarded to Miss

red people were unable to come on
the Excursion from Dushore and
Bernice owing to lack of cars.

Getting the Best Out Of Life
By Mary Eleanor O'Donnell


How is one to get the best out of
life? Can it be secured by money
saving? Not always. The miser
isn't usually happy individual.
Can it be secured by marrying the
one you love best? Not always;
sometimes those we love best of all
make us the most wretched and
unhappy.
Can it be secured by achievement
in the business world, in education,
in art? No; for while these pur.
suits may prove fascinating, de-
lightful and inspiring, they cannot
fill the place of dear friend.
The loneliness of a life of con-
tinual study and grind becomes un-
bearable in the end, even to the
student whose name is known
throughout the world of letters.
A genius cannot live on glory
alone. He has to have an account
at the corner grovery store, and he
loves the grasp of a friends hand
and a friendly word just like the
rest of us.
So after all, the way to get the
best out of life is to have many aims,
to make ones life fit snugly and
comfortably wherever it chances to
be, and to keep young in body and
heart and mind by taking care of
the health, the morals and the
spiritual self. So often lazy people
appear so comfortable and selfish
people so serene that an ordinary,
self-sustaining hustler, who is try
ing to get the most out of life, must
have the soil of an angel and the
mind of philosopher to keep from
envying them.
Love and devotion are among the
best sources for getting the most
out of life. They are met with in
every sphere, but more particularly
in the homes of the middle class,
where the attention of the passer-
by is seldom attracted. A great
drawback to this form of happiness
is the woman who spends her time
in reminding the husband that he
is less kind than he used to be.
Usually, when a woman gets an
idea that her husband is neglecting
her, or that he dosen't care for her
as he used to, she begins to spread
sighs and walls of anguish over all
the household territory. All this
tends to make the suspected hus-
band nervous and irritable, and if
he begins to rant and say unpleas-
ant things he is hardly to be blam-
ed. But it is these little miseries
and worries that make it difficult
to get the most out of life through
the matrimonial pathway.
1t isn't necessary for a woman
to be desperately in love with man
to be jealous of him and so make
life a bowling wilderness for both.
She may not like her best hat,
either, but she dosen't want any
other woman to wear it.
This is the type of woman who
will fail miserah' .,oarch for
happiness. She has never tried to
learn how to get the best out of
life. She is of the narrow, selfish
type spoiled unfit to bear the
burdens of life and unable to meet
its trials patiently; she is one of
the women who never mature
only grow old---without judgement,
forethought, common sense or cour-
age.
Every woman who is trying to
get the best out of life must make
the best of herself. Strong-minded
women who hold themselves sup
erior to the obligations of dress
and manners and all the pleasant
little artifcialties of life are unat-
tractive because they are ignorant
of the real meauinp of wOmanhOOd

The owner of the vicious dog, the
little red bull or butting ram, must
take care of the same. Should one
of the animals kill a person the own
ers of vicious animals of any nature
are subject 20 prosecution and shall
be guilty of manslaughter.
The white slave law as enacted is
severe one and covers every con-
dition of this element of criminals.
Any party connected with this class
of business is subject to arrest and
punishment in the State prison and
fine. The law is apparently as
severe as that of the Federal gov
ernment, between the two factions
it would appear that the white SLAYER

by the new law.
