most intricate machinery. I believe
that the dignity Of labor depends
not on what you do, but how you
doit; that opportunity comes to a
boy on the farm as often as TO q
boy In the city; that life Is larger
and freer and happier on the farm
than in the towns that my success
depends not upon my location. but
upon myself not upon my dreams

luck but upon pluck. believe In
working when you work, and Ia play

Hardly out of hearing, the wife be-

That sleep is truly natures great
restorer. II gives the body a
chance to throw off the fatigue pois-
ons accumulated during waking
hours, and to make necessary re-
pairs after the wear of the days
work. Lack Of sleep will kill more
quickly than lack of food. A sleep
less animal is as miserable at the
end of three or four days as a
starved one at the end OF ten to fif-
teen. Sleep to degree will take
the place of food. People who sleep
past breakfast often are not hungry
until the middle of the day. It
takes from seven to eight hours of
sleep for adults to permit the system
to scour out the clogging poisons.
To skimp on necessary sleep is as
bad for efficiency as il would be to
allow grit to accumulate in the bear
ings of an engine--and for the same
mechanical reason.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Miss Beatrice Stuart Weller comes
to the Lyceum from the broadel
field of educational work where she
has made good in her entertaining
and instructive work in craycn. We
have become more than convinced Of
her worth as an entertainer, and she
is at the head of her company.
Miss Weller is easily classed as
one of the most expert in her pro-
fession Her pleasing personality
and her happy smile win her audi
ences before she begins TO deity de-
pict various expressions of the ha-
man face. She accompanies her
few Tightening like strokes with .
fusilade Of running comment in a
well modulated voice which easily
carries to the most distant member
of her audience. Miss Weller's
landscapes, drawn as accompanies
to her charming stories, are gems Of
art, and suggest to the connoisseur,
rare original talent, fortified by
years Of study and work, under the
instruction of masters. To the nov
ice il would seem that Miss Weller
has reached, almost, if not quite,
the apex in her entertainment, but to
the true artist the summit is always
up higher.
Associated with her will be two
talented artists, Miss Ruth Daykin,
vioIinist, and Mr.. Francis Allen
Wheeler, baritone. Their program
is charming and one Of the most YER
satile in the lyceum.
The Management.
As before, we will sell season
tickets for all four numbers for two
50, which will be suming up of 81
on the cause, as single admission to
each number will be 7sc, and an
opportunity will be given to the pub
lie generally to secure these season
tickets.
It, being for the benefit of the
library, is most worthy cause and
must appeal to the citizens in gener-
al, and by hearty support Of this
effort you will not only be richly re-
paid by the excellent entertainment,
but heading a cause In which we are
all 30 much interested.

THE HALLOWEEN TIDE.

Halloween came on the 5lst Of
October as ii always does, and the
youth of the village was out in full
strength, in spite of the wet spell
that preceded its arrival, with jack
o. lanterns and the other usual par
aphernalia ard serenaded their neigh
bors and friends. These innocent
pranks are very well and good, and
no one would interfere with such
innocent pleasantaries. But there
is a brand of "sport" INDUCED 10
this year, as usual, not only on
this particular night, but several
nights before, that is deigned to
come to an abrupt cessation, one
of these particular festivals, and
some fond mothers need not be sur
prised to meet their young hopefuls
on their own or some other person 5
back lot making their way homeward
with their hind legs dragging. When
the wanton destruction of property
and the thefts are allowed to
progress that has been allowed to
progress some of the less lenient are
liable to take the Law into their own
hands, or use the unwrittea Law to
protect their own property. A word
TO the wise should be sufficient.
