No, free silver is not again be-
ing agitated, it is just the score
of the Toledo High School
Grammar School basket ball
game, that was played at the
hall last Saturday evening. The
High School girls proved to
much for the Grammar School
girls and walked off with the
sixteen end of the score. The
Grammar girls put up a game
fight, but were no match for the
larger and more experienced
girls. The High School boys
beat the second team by the
score of 2S to IA.

FOR FINE CLOTHES

G. F. M. writes: "I am 17-year- old girl, in an art store. Every day l see fashionable pretty young ladies looking like beauties. I l0ok shabby compared with them. I am fond of nice raiment. Wish to appear handE some. Two young men I know since childhood urge me to go to restaurants with them. I did not accept. Told each why. One offered me cloak, and the other a stylish skirt. One owns a store. can pay three dollars a week on clothes, till paid. Other, bookkeeper, will take two dollars weekly on fve-dollar skirt. They at tend same church. and are honest. Liking fine clothes, is this strictly proper please?"
 If you have clothes good enough to wear to church, certainly they would do, if you wear them neatly and gen. teelly, in going with nice young men. Suppers at restaurants with young men, fine clothes you work for and may not be able to afford, ought not to turn your head to folly. Wait a year. Do not accept their offer and they will think well of your right minded independence and honesty

How are a. the folk O. Bowden, Beside the Eildons three? Are they hearty, hale and happy, And as kinds they used to be? Are the carles still as canty And the wifles a as crouse Is like ane the 1airdie O. wee bit theekit hoose Do douce auld folks the door still lock When sounds the aught hours horn? Are there touslin' in the hay hulk And kempin' in the corn? Go elders tween the preaching meet Beside the kirkyard stile? Are curly pows still peekin' Through the stanchels O the aisle? Are there cuddies on the toongate yet, And thinkers on the green? Are boglie stories tauld to bairns Around their fires at cen? Are cabbage dash'd at Halloween, And bane fires set aglow? Is the auld cross and knockin' stane Still stan'in' on the knowe? Is lika game still played the same, UT nae they ICT0lSn rules Hae bats and stumps ta'en up the

 O. peerles, taps and boots? Has school boards cowef the truant
 yet. Or hae they truants still? Do they cut and up the loanin' When the hounds are on the hill? fain wad deem an unchanged scene, Though changed it weel may. be, For. weary years and langsome miles Hae pairted hame and me. And the nearest and the dearest anes Will vanish from our ken, And empty seats and eerie blanks In ilka but and ben. Sair wad I miss ilk weel-kend face, Sac couthie, kind, and free, I couldna brook the strangers look Where anither face should be. Oh, mournfu' tale, nae friend to hail The wanderers return, I'll seek them in yon auld kirkyard Beside the BoWden Burn.
