Trinities of Success.

What stand in life do we hope to
reach?
Let the far-stretched success be
your beach.
1t may be as rolling and trifling as
he seas,
But you will win, if you are as busy
as bees.
The words are short to define to
success
1t is to do, at the right time, your
best.
The first of three elements is power
And, if studious, comes like a
shower.
Refreshing you like the falling drops
Revive the corn and make it pop"
This factor will in time prepare
The way for wealth and JOY to pre-
pare. o.
Wealth is a proof of much success
And comes to those who power
manifest.
Money is not the only factor
But plays the part of the tractor.
First to construct the element OF
wealth
Must be the great blessing OF
health.
Joy is of success the last trinity
Aud must be based on divinity.
1t is token of a life well spent
With rays of prestige never bent.
Let each of our lives be buoyed
On power. wealth and JOY.

GrizzIy's Great Strensth.-It is re-
lated that a grizzly bear that had one
of it's forepaws so shot as to render
it useless, employed the other to
draw its weight Of 1000 pounds up
an incline almost precipitious, SEEM
ingly impossible feat.
A Californian asserts. Fur News de-
clares, that while in the mountains he
observed big grizzly in the act Of car
rying a dead COW home to her cubs.
From his position on the mountain
side the Californian could follow ev-
cry movement of the bear in the
sparsely timbered valley below. He
contends that the big beast carried
the COW in her forepaws for a dis
tance Of three miles, across jagged
rocks several feet in height, over fall
len logs around the rocky mountain
side, where even a mule could not
get a foothold, to a narrow trail up
the steep mountain.
This bear, it appears. stopped not
for a moments rest, but proceeded
straight on. The observer followed
her, and about half a mile from her
lair shot her. The COW, it is report
ed. weighed at least 200 pounds, while
the weight of the grizzly was about
$50.

Humorous department.

His First Case.-Several prominent
attorneys were discussing the peculiar
and rather humorous questions put
to witnesses by young attorneys en-
tering upon their legal work, and one
of the number vouched for the au-
thenticity Of this incident:
"I went up to the superior civil
court one day to hear a young friend
Of mine try his first case. All his
relatives and friends were there and
the novice wore a most serious ex-
preston as he started to question a
witness. He did nicely until he asked
the man:
Ibid you have a contract with the
PLAINTIFF
Yes replied the witness.
What kind of a contract was II
IAN oral one,' replied the witness.
"'Will you please produce it?'
1.-The witness stood stalk still star
ing at the attorney and then looked
at the Judge, inquiringly. There was
a ripple of laughter throughout the
court room, but still the young at
torey did not catch on and looking
toward the judge, remarked:
Your honor, I ask you to give
the witness until 2 o'clock to produce
that contract
"The court could not longer with
hold and Joined in the laughter Then

offered Proper Apolosy.-1t was
his first visit to the great city of New
York, and many Of the sights filled
him with wonder, while others fixed
him with awe. But when he went to
the theatre, he felt more at home and
settled down for an evening Of pleas
ure, pure and simple.
Presently his attention was attract
ed to the long, fair, silken dress which
was hanging down the back OF the
lady in front of him.
Excuse me, miss" he said, leaning
over, "but your hair is coming down.
Slowly the maiden turned, and
stared with cold, naughty gaze. MY

acidity.
But the country visitor was not to
be snubbed so easily.

improvements at Oak Ridge

Editor School Correspondence:
Two years ago we had an old wood
en- building which was ceiled and not
painted. We had a place painted black
for our blackboard. The library was
box nailed upon the wall. We had a
little stove which did not heat the
room. There was only one room In
this building. Water had to be brought
from a neighbors house some distance
from the school.
Today we have one Of the best ru-
raj schools in the state. 1t Is built by
one Of the Clemson plans at the cost
Of $500. We have a nice building
painted white, and screened windows
with plenty of light work room, an
up to date library, a recitation room,
and a cloak room which can be used
as stage.
We have a large Old Dominion heat
er, a teachers table, three chairs. a
bell, clock, globe. Webster's Un-
abridged Dictionary, two large maps,
seven pictures and some nice desks.
Our library contains one hundred and
forty eight we'll bound volumes. We
have a few manual training tables,
also a nice piano. We have planted a
few flowers in our yard and expect to
do more We have a shady play
ground, and a deep bored well.
We are proud Of our school and hope
to make more improvements.

rooms are class rooms, and the other
is a work room. The class rooms have
folding doors between them. We use
only one class room.
The walls of it are painted light yel-

windows have weights and are easy to
raise They have green shades.

The life ambition of one of the worlds
richest men is-feas. He possesses
them from everywhere-f1eas from
South America, fleas from Europe
feas from the Arctics and feas from
Australia. Big fieas, little fleas, medi-
m-sized ones, fieas with spots and
f1eas without 'em. The Hon. Charles
Rothschild, son Of the late Lord Roths-
child, and a member Of the richest fam
lily in the world, loves them all and has
resolved his life into Cle grand song
whereof the refrain Is fleas, fleas, f1eas
In the geological museum owned by
his brother, Walter Rothschild, al
Thring, a little town in Herefordshire
thirty miles from London, Charles
Rothschild wanders among his flea
cabinets, gloating over his rare speci-
mems, planning the capture of more. For
fifteen years he has pursued fieas per-
sistently, internationally, paying large
sums or small sums to achieve his de-
sire, until now his flea collection ranks
as the greatest in the world.
The average person, you and me,
reader, imagines there is but one kind
of flea, that which meets US somewhere
in the middle of our backs and bites
where we can't scratch. Wrong. There
are more breeds and grades Of fleas
than there are fashions on Fifth ave-
nue. on a bright Sunday. Every dog
has his fieas. and even every cat. The
musk OK grows an especial flea, and
the silver fox has his own unique
brand. Practically every species of
animal carries around excess baggage
in the shape of an individually design
ed flea Charles Rothschild possesses
forty types of flea. But his collection
is not complete, not nearly complete,
and the man who can discover a kind
Of flea which Charles Rothschild
doesn't possess is on the way to graft
tude and money.
For England's great flea expert is
willing to spend real money when 1t

eral years ago he learned that the sill

considered offering a reward of $4,000

especial insect and no other. 1t was not

Look Before You Leap!

While it is true that there are still
many people who buy Life Insurance
from an agent instead Of a Company,
and who sometimes find that the
agent, either through ignorance or
Intentionally led them to believe that
his company and the contracts (pol-
icies) were among the best. There
are thousands Of others, and their
tribe is increasing daily, who are in
fiuenced almost entirely by the COM
pany and its reputation FIRST and
the contract next. They look and
then leap, while the other class leaps
and then looks, and as a result, often
concludes that had 1t looked before
leaping it would not have leaped.
No company has an all-round repu-
tation for squarer dealing with every
policy holder and of writing liberal
policies as has the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company, of Newark,
N. j. No company Is stronger. Look
Before You Leap! Test my assertions.
If you are not entirely satisfied that
they are true you are under no obli-
cations to buy.
