Unknown parties broke into the
Hickman College building Sun
day night, presumably for the
purpose of lifting papers con
tanned in the desk of Principal
Gabby. AT least the desk had
been rifled. The wonder is that
a fire did not ensue as a match
had been dropped into one of the
drawers containing a number of
papers and the charred ends of
these documents told the story OF
how narrow was the escape from
a big blaze. Entrance was gain
ed by breaking a Yale lock.
Nothing was missed. Chief Jno,

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE,
AWAKES.

While you are often advised to stake
exercise for your health, you may
never have been told to exercisesyour
mind for the strengthening Of your
soul.
You have not got to commit any
thing to memory, but just take what
we call a simple word like Forest or
Stars or Ocean or Tree orsDawn and
think what they mean.
You know what forest is. 1t is a
little one. though not the great woods
of South America or Russia, where
you may stand on the edge of woods
the other edge of whish resthousands
Of miles away.
Dawn is good word, and so Is Twi-
light. You know them .both-the COM
ing of Hight, the fading OF hght-a lit
tie season Of morning and evening.
But light is coming and light is fading
every moment in the day. The impcr-
lance Of activity and rest will CLEAN
upon you from these two words.
Call to mind Tree-when you COM
prehend what q tree is. you will
find It. Is a miracle. Man
created the seven wonders Of the
world, but he cannot make the sim
plest tree. Trees a hundred years old
surprise you. but there are trees 5000
years old. Trees provide man shelter,
food and clothing.

A Quaint Old VILLAGE.

Last week 1 passed by accident
through one of the. quaintest little VII
lagos have ever seen. A solemn Sun
day hush brooded over the place. I'M
broken by fruit vendors cry, rafting
of wagons, honk of motor horn, or
any of the other noises SO commonly
heard in busy locality.
The houses, judging from their ap-
pearance must have dated back sew
eral hundred years, and what seemed
most peculiar, were all painted a pink
ish white. Each was set well back
from the road and passersby were kept
from intruding by a. low, white paint
ed picket fence. The single street was
so narrow that vehicles had difficulty
in passing each other Elm trees. the
size of which showed great antiquity,
interlaced overhead, forming green
archway.
The few persons met seemed to
participate in the general air of an
tiquity, for they were all old ladies,
dressed in rust1ing black silk of a by
gone fashion, and some carried small,
black parasols in black-mittened
hands. AS I went by, each regarded
me in politely inquiring way, as
though asking by what right l in
truded into that quiet spot.
Altogether, it seemed as though pro-
gress in it's onward march had made
wide detour of the little village,
leaving it untouched.

James RUSSELL Lowell.

James Russell Lowell was, born in
Cambridge, Mass, Feb. p, 1919. The
house in which he lived was very old
and a great many high eiTns surround
ed it, so they called 1t The Films.
Lowell did not like school He loved
to sit and read.
When going to college he. was not
allowed to graduate with hissclass be-
cause he did not do well.
He began to write early. He was
married to Marie White. In 1855 Low
ell was told that he was TO succeed
Longfellow in teaching in Harvard COL
lege.
The mother Of Marie White said she
could not marry such an idle. man. and
so he settled down and learned law.
But after he wes married he went to
writing again. He wrote prose as well
as poems.
Lowell was sent to Spain and three
years later to England as minister
from the United States.
Lowell's first wife died IN 1855, and
four years later he married Miss
Frances Dunlop.
Mr. Lowell died in 1891 in the old
family mansion. Eimwood, where he
lived most of his life.

Look out for others. IF you are
strong, SO much the more should you
keep watch to see where and when
you can be kind to one less favored
than yourself.
A number of active boys were busy
in playing baseball while a little lame
fellow. about twelve, pale and sicixly
stood leaning on his crutches, evident
ly very sorry he was not able to take
part in the exciting game. Indeed, he
seemed to lose sight of the fact of
how much his infirmity united him
to join in the sport of his stout and
healthy companions.
The other boys good-naturedly tried
to persuade him to stand on one side
and let another take his place, but
they were thoughtful enough to put
it on the ground that they were afraid
he might get hurt.

forgetting himself for moment, you

"Oh, hush!" answered another, the

So saying the noble boy took his

other. IF you were in his place, would
