THE QUALIFICATIONS OF A
YOUNG MAN ANTICIPATING A
LIFE PARTNER FROM A
GIRLS POINT OF
VIEW.

II man is considering the choos-
ing Of life partner there are at
least three requirements for him u
fulnll before he is justified in ask
ing a woman to share his life whcth-
er il he filled with fortunes or mis-
fortunes.
First: In The first place he must
he sure that he is really in love with
the womans real self, not her physi-
cal body alone. but with her mind
and soul and character.
Second: He should investigate in
a manly way to see II she is intel
lcctually, morally and physically
prepared for married life, being sure
not to require more Of her than he
is able TO give in return. SO many
men wait TO investigate these mat
ters after an engagement when by
doing this beforehand there would
not be so many heartaches amon2
the girls and they would have more
faith in the honesty and worthiness
Of men As il is women are tempt.
ed to doubt all men until they prove
themselves worthy Of their trust.
Third: He must have enough sur
plus cash 10 establish n comfortable
home in which are at least a few of
the modern conveniences so that the
wife may not be compelled 10 weary
herself unnecessarily. and thus be
unable 10 perform 10 the best OF her
ability the higher duties and priv.
ilcges that come TO her. The wo-
man who is worried TO death with
household cares is unable and unfit
to rear children in the proper man.

One of the most recent improve
ments on the campus is the new
band stand which has been con-
structed in front Of the Y. NJ. c. A.

Spirit is that which animates, ex-
cites. stimulates and envigorates the
heart and soul of man: which incites
the mind; and which impels toward
the higher. the nobler and the I'M
common Of life.
II is that which produces fire, cour-
age, vivacity, vim, action.
II is the nucleus Of life. II is the
expression Of love.
II is spirit that impels the runner
to clinch his last title of strength in
a supreme effort to win. IL is spirit
that induces the "fullback" TO en-
counter danger that his team may be
victorious. And il is spirit that in
cites the debater 10 strop his mind
to its keenest edge that he may bring
distinction TO his Alma Mater.
Spirit has won battles, conquered
empires, produced civilization. II is

height Of development.
Spirit is the very backbone Of an
individual organization, or institu-
tion-they are judged according to
their lack or fullness of spirit.
Here in school il is by our spirit
we are Judged, whether IL be for sue
cess in a classroom recitation, the
glory OF an athletic victory, the as
tendency of department, or our
devotion TO our Alma Mater.

TN september 20 we had Held
day at our school. The children liked
to play very much, and I thought
they would like To have a field day.

Doctor Best presented the same
theme from another standpoint with
growing earnestness. He maintained
forcibly that without Christ in the
life. there is no real success in the
business world. Each Of the speak.
crs presented the practical side OF
life and caused many to think OF
what they shall do when they leave

WHY PUT UP BIRD-HoUsEsi

There have been great changes in
the face Of nature since Columbus
discovered America. Her forests
have been cut down, farms cleared,
and cities built. The vast number
Of birds that cheercd the early set
tiers with their wondrous beauty
and song and provided food for them
have been largely killed of; some
for food, some in wanton destruc-
ton, and many 10 ornament women's
hats. Their feeding grounds have
been taken and their resting places
destroyed
In the thickly settled portions OF
our country the insect pests have in
creased so alarmingly that the cities
are in danger of losing their trees
and lawns and the country commun-
tiles their crops.
Birds are the natural enemies OF
insects and their decreasing in num-
Der has become Of such national i'm
portance that the United States gov
eminent has taken up the matter,
investigated the different insect
pests. and declared that unless the
birds can be encouraged 20 increase
certain crops are doomed.
Mrs. Russell Sage has for this pur-
pose paid $4,000 for an island near
New Orleans, and given II 20 the
birds rs their home and feeding
grounds. The Audubon Society late
! ly bought large tract Of woodland
along the Illinois and Sangamon
rivers for a bird and animal pre-
serve.
Cities and towns have taken up the
governments suggestion OF build
ing bird-houses and thus encourage
ing the birds 10 nest near the homes
Of men. These bird-houses are OF
every design. adapted 10 the size and
customs of the birds. The wren. for

Persistent Canada Thistle.

The cause Of the remarkable vitality
of Canada thistle and the point that
distinguishes 1t from other prickly
plants that are commonly mistaken for
1t is the long cordlike perennial root.
This root penetrates the soil to depth
of eight to fifteen inches or more and
gives rise at frequent intervals to leafy
shoots. Thus 1t will often be found
that an entire patch Of thistles IL at
tached to one root and is In reality
but one plant. The root is exceedingly
hardy and can live over winter or
through a prolonged drought in dor
mant condition. Pieces of the root
that are broken of by a plow or cult
vator and carried to other places will
await warm. moist period and then
begin to send up leafy shoots. thus es-
tablishing a new patch forthwith. II
the leafy stems are cut down, others
will be sent up to take their place and
this process may be repeated from two
to eight times before the root becomes
exhausted.
