ers have done by paying the price.
However, you must be willing to
spend energy and time. Self-control
is not acquired in one single move,
but is result of steady develop
ment in that respect. 1t means a be-
ginning. 1t means break from the old
order of circumstances to acquire
this. The most remarkable feature
is that the rich and the poor have
an equal chance. The rich, if any
thing, is the mole unfortunate. Ev-
cry stroke of the poor man may
mean construction, while very dollar
spent by the rich man may mean de-
struction.
There is moral gymnasium as
we'll as physical gymnasium. The
mortality must be developed in the
right channels. Man must develop
the faculty of concentration and will
power. These may he attained by do
ing something which you dislike do
ing, by breaking away from the self
ish pleasures and undergoing real
sacrifice. Man should study himself,
find out the weaknesses, the elements
which hinder his success, and direct
his forces against those hindrances.
He should improve his time and OPP
portunities. Today is all he has,
and he should live that to his best
ability, deciding himself whether he

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Cecil Observation-Disclosures Chief.

The city authorities have given
their permission that Mr.. PEGGY be
appointed truant officer. This step
has been found advisable by the
school authorities in order to enforce
the compulsory education law. 1t Is
not the pupils in some, cases who
are violating this law but the par
ents. The law provides that anyone
violating the provisions of this act
shall be guilty of misdemeanor.
and upon conviction shall pay fine
OF not less than three ($3.OW dollars
nor more than twenty ($2O.00) dol
lars for each offense
Suspension or severe punishment
will be handed out to those pupils
who throw snowballs while going to
and from school. This comes from
headquarters.
One in a hundred graduate from
college, yet seven per cent Of all our
prominent men are college men.
,rsWhos Who in America" lists over
two thousand names, almost fifteen
hundred are college men. Does an
education pay? If half the men and
women were college graduates and
che other half not, your chance to get
In who's Who" or in other words
to attain success would still be sew
zen to three in your favor,if you finish
ed college. Now, when only one
out of one hundred graduate from
college, your chances are one hun
dred to one better. What do you
think? If you are not duffer, you
can answer the question yourself. If
you are, college will not help you.
Many big duffer is better off at home
working than attending college and
spending his or her parents money.
Home study is vital to creditable
work in the high school. Every pu-
nil has at least four lessons to pre-
pare daily. Two or possibly three
can be prepared in school during
study periods. thus leaving at least
an hours work to do at home. If
your boy or girl reports that no
home study is required. that the
work is easy, you should commune

Like many other rich men,. Barclay owned
hunting preserve In the Adirondacks. and
seldom went near it. But the five granite
mountains surrounded by dense forests
thickly sprinkled with lakes was one OF
Tommy's favorite stamping grounds. 1t

own exertions. s
The preserve was real wilderness. One

Four Corners to the main camp at the head
Of the biggest lake. but otherwise the region
boosted only a few narrow trails. And you
had to make your way from one Landmark 70
another as best you could. And either you
had to take plenty of condensed food In tins
or trust to your skill with rod and rifle to
keep you from going hungry.
Tommy would leave the train at -Four
Corners, hire a team. and get himself put
down somewhere along the road leading to
the main camp. He would then choose q

very greedy for power.
Mentally. they were poles apart. Tommy.
though he loved to spend money. was given
to asking foolish questions about the ways
and prerogatives Of capital: He couldn't
understand why the majority of people in
this world have to be poor and dirty and
unhappy. Why the real producer should
have such small share in what he pro-
duces. He did not go into these questions
very deeply. but just enough to be something
of socialist at heart and to feel certain
for people to whom the collecting
of money was the most important thing in
the world. Perhaps he only took up social
istfc ideas in order to amuse himself at the
expense of those who maintain opposite the
ories. for he didn't go into anything. except
games. very seriously or very thoroughly.

How he would work to make her happy and

Just then his head fell forward on his
breast. and he dreamed that he smelt boiling
cauliflower. It was a smell to which he was
particularly sensitive. and which he partic-
u1arly hated. He walked with an angry start,
and the smell persisted.
His offended nostrils quivered as the nos
trils of a wild animal culver at the smell OF
man. He was angry and disguised. And
his feelings for the people who had not only
invaded his solitude, but had brought
caulifower. more than one possibly, into the
northern woods. were not At to print. His
only satisfaction was that In the morning
he would hunt them down and tell them
what he thought of them.
But he had bad night, and when at last
he did get to sleep he slept heavily that
daybreak didn't wake him. BY the time he
had washed and breakfasted. 1t was half past
seven. which is shocking hour in the woods.
He climbed to the top OF the hub. Field

landscape far and near for traces of human
beings But the woods were dense that
it was like looking for a needle in a hay
