High School Notes

OlaNovis, Hazel Morgan and Alpha

The base ball boys have been clean
ing the ball diamond, getting it
ready for use.
The seniors are planning to enter
tain the juniors on Friday evening in
the gymnasium.
The seniors have ordered their in
vitations for Commencement, and are
now deciding on their class pins.
Everett Curry has left school and
has gone to Lawrence, where he will

-PEG o. NY HEART

Last Saturday evening, April 4th,
ssPeg o. My Heart. was given at the
court house under the management
of Miss Olive Kackley of Hill City,
who reproduced and dramatized the
play. The cast of. characters was
made up entirely of Hill City people.
The court room was packed TO its
capacity and the large audience was
not disappointed in what was really
a fine presentation of this pleasing
and wholesome little drama. Many
here are unanimous in saying it is
the best local talent production ever
given in our city Miss Kackley pos
sesses splendid dramatic ability and
with a pleasing personality holds the
interest of her audience well. As
ssPeg'' she made a decided hit taking
the part most ably. She received
strong support from the rest of the
cast who took some difficult roles
with more than ordinary ability.
The play was excellent and was
splendidly given and our town was
we'll pleased and has nothing but
words of highest praise for Miss
Kackley and her excellent company
and hope they may return again in
the future.

MRS. sTEINBERGER's RECITAL

Last Wednesday evening Mrs. G.
Steinberger gave a pupils musical
recital assisted by the High School
quartette. A large audience filled
the court room and each number was
enthusiastically applauded. Every
body is fond of music and from the
small tots just beginning to the more
advanced pupil each number was
treat in itself. When teacher, pupil
and parent combine to work together
there is very definate result going
to take place and in this public reci-
tai the result of this combination
was very apparent and teacher, pupil
and parent are certainly worthy of
congratulation and praise for the ex-
cellent work which is being and has
been accomplished. We cannot take
time to comment on each number
separately for all were splendid and
each to be congratulated. A bright
musical career lies before many of
these young people and it's to be hop
ed they can go on until their highest
ambition may be realized.
The High School quartette added
much to the pleasure of the evening
by their excellent selections which
| were so well rendered.

A TRICK CAT.

June had pet cat that was as full
of tricks as a clown. 1t would watch
June to, come into the room so that
he could spring at her and scare her.
He kne now Co play ssPeek-a-booa
and ssHide-and- SEEK as well as June
did herself, and it was fun to watch
the two at these games.
Sometimes June would put on her
mammals skirt that would trail on
the floor and when she swept around
the room. Trik would chase her and
take hold of one end of it and roll on
fine fun. When Trix was tired of
this he would sit down on the long
train of the dress and ride around
the room as grand as you please.
But what he liked best was to have
June make tent with two chairs
and a shawl spread over them.
As soon as he saw the chairs
brought out he knew what that
meant. He did not wait till the bed
was made up on the chairs, but
sprang in as soon as June raised the
side of the shawl that served for a
door to the tent.
And there in the dark Trix would
sleep for hours and dream of rats and
mice; and he had such good care that
he lived to good old age

BY County Superintendent and Teachers
LANGUAGE WORK.
BLACK BEAUTY
BLACK BEAUT,


/ like the story of Black Beauty
and will write what she did when
she was little colt. She was in the
pasture with a great many other
horses. Some were much larger,
some were about the same size and
some were even smaller than she was.
The horses would often race up and
down the lane and bite and kick
each other in rather a rough way
and Black Beauty began to be as
rough as they.
One day, when her mother saw it
she called Black Beauty to her and
said: II wish you to pay attention
to what I am going to say to you.
Your grandmother had manners and
the sweetest temper of any other
horse that 1 ever knew, and think
you have never seen me kick or bite.
hope you will grow up gentle and
good and never learn bad manners
from others. Do your work well,
lift your feet up well when
you trot and never bite or kick
even in play"
Black Beauty remembered her
mothers advise for she knew her
mother was wise old horse and that
the master thought much of her
more than of the other horses.
The master was good, kind man.
He gave the horses good food and
lodging He used to bring pieces of
bread to Black Beauty and carrots to
her mother. Sometimes he would
talk to them kindly. He would ask:
''How are you my good horse and
how is your little darkie.'' He talked
as kindly to his horses as to his
children.

needless and senseless- Perhaps the
most foolish thing a man can DO is to
load himself down with lot of
ancient, mouldy, worm-eaten grudges.
The man with a ''chip on his
shoulder may make a nuisance of
himself, and be detriment to his
community, but beyond that he cuts
very little ice. He's too busy pro-
tecting his chip to make the best use
of himself and his opportunities.
So many people imagine that the
way to succeed in politics is to ''get
something on" the opposing candi-
date. And it seems like regrettable
comment upon the intelligence of
voters to have to admit that the
method does sometimes bring tempo
rary success. However, only the
''born Short is likely to be fooled
twice with the same dope.
%
1t takes all sorts of people to make
world, so we are told. 1t may be a
hardship to have to tolerate some of
the varieties but there are compen-
sating features. For example, it is
an amusing pastime to select samples
of the genus homo and classify them.
There is the kind who ask your ad-
vice and then do as they see tit. Also
the other variety who do as they
please fist and then ask for advice.
Both kinds want to be advised to do
Ii, IL
They want help to convince them
selves that the thing they propose to
do is proper, though their Judgment
tells them it will be mistake, and
they naturally want some friend to
take a share in the responsibility for
the blunder
If you are in politics it is well to
remember that the opposing candi-
something mean about him. Get
that? Take the hint. Say nothing
and let him die out from lack of
nourishment-
Almost any man has sufficient
ability to manage his own affairs
without much trouble. 1t is med
ding with other peoples business
that brings our worst tribulations.-

A soliloquy, by Uncle Heck: Don t
get sore because people call you
''uncler and sometimes refer to you
as an ''old gentleman" The fact is
you are old, and getting older every
day. To majority of your friends
you seem ''old"-iust as men of your
age appeared to you when you were
twenty to thirty years younger than
you are now. Don't get fussy. You
are old, and no mistake. Make the
best of it. Console yourself with the
reflection that your friends admit
that you are gentleman, despite
your age. That ought to salye your
pride.
