When is the age of romance quite
over?
When does the spirit of fancy die?
When is man too old for lover?
When is a woman too old to sigh?
When are we gladdenel by white
hairs springled
Over the brown and over the gold?
When do we welcome a face that is
wrinkled?
When are we willing to call our
selves old?
When the song of bird has no hint
of gladness,
And hearts are not warped by roses
in bloom;
When laughter of childhood beguiles
us to sadness,
And fullness of springtime compels
us to gloom.
When light-hearted lovers are sights
that distress us,
And all generations seem great but
the last;
In yearning not pleasures, but
priests to confess us,
We know beyond doubling that
fair youth is past
Youth" and "Old Age" are words
without meaning,
Save as life's sorrows are heaped
upon men;
Age may descend upon youth in its
dreaming,
While youth may abide with thee

Be Consiiderate

Youth Is inconsiderate. This Is
an old proyerb 1t means that boys
and girls are not careful Of the
feelings and rights Of others. Sup
pose You keep count for one day Of
the times you have been inconsider-
ate. You would have a long list
by evening. The way to overcome
this weakness Is to train against
It Instead OF being thoughtless,
say to yourself, Il am going to be
careful not to hurt any ones feel
ings today" Keep this up for a
few weeks, and you will. note a
marked change in your character.

Stay Out in the Sun

Mans best friend is sunshine.
The light of the sun Is natures
greatest gift to man. Few OF us
appreciate this gift fully. Animals
like to bask in the sunshine;
plants will die II they do not get
the light Of the sun.
Because we keep our curtains
down, neglect to air our bedrooms
and living rooms, many Of us con-
tract consumption and other dis
eases. II you want to stay healthy,
keep out In the open. The light of
the sun Is the best germ killer
known.

Hunting Lost Cold

All OF us enjoy reading stories
telling Of how adventurous men
have sought lost fortunes In the
Caribbean sea. Stories Of gold
bars In fifty fathoms of water, or
buried under some tree on a desert
cd island grip our imagination and
we often wish that we could have
q chance to dig for lost gold and
precious stones.
Az a matter Of fact there are
treasures all about us, the trouble
being that we cannot see them. The
gold we overlook is the opportuni-
ty that knocks at our door, Many
men have become wealthy because
they saw gold where other persons
saw only cobblestones and bricks.
s The boy who watches opportuni.
" will always have job after
school or on Saturdays. The hoy
who waits for the job to look him
UP never finds one. II you want
gold and precious stones, look Tor
them In your own neighborhood
and city. You certainly will find
them.

What 5 a Bluff

A bluff is an attempt to make
someone believe that you know OF
possess that which you do not
know or have. For instance, a pu.
pill may try to bluff his teacher into
believing he knows his lesson. A
girl may try to bluff her mother
into believing she practiced on the
piano while her mother was visit
ing. In the last analysis both are
lies. You cannot bluff and escape
the fate OF buffer, namely, be-
ing caught.

army that ever fought battle.
They fought to liberate a race in
bondage. They offered their lives
not for their own interests, but to
free men who were Of another race
and Of another color. They fought
for freedom.
The children Of the United States
owe these men a debt OF thanks
that never can be paid in money.
You can show q measure of your
gratitude by attending the Memor-
ial Day exercises.

the name of the book they we're
reading in. Now he would call the
spelling classes, they would first
recite with their books, then they
were to close their books and spell
any word that was in the lesson if
the teacher ask them. Now it is
time for the noon recess that gave
them an hour to eat their dinner
and play. After noon they would
have the other studies, they were
carried ON like the reading. In
those days pupil wasn't counted a
good scholar unless he was a good
speller.
The school kept increasing and
getting better as the nation grew
The last few years school was held
there they had all the saudies we
have today except agriculture, sew
ing, manual training and domestic
science.
In 1910 the school house was
abandoned, then they built a new
school house, after this school was
held In the new school house. The
new one was built at the south edge
of Dalton.
This place should be marked to
show how it has helped the people
Of this little district to do their
work in building up the nation. 1t
should also be marked to show how
the people did in school sixty-two
years ago. 1t gave the men, wom-
en-, children and grand children a
place to become educated so they
wouldn't grow up in ignorance.
