lazziness is catching. just as the
measles, and most of it is caught
from grown-ups. Children early
hear their parents complaining OF
the work they have to do. and In
many ways are taught that work is
the thing to shun. If they are not
so taught you will not find one lazy
child i'm a thousand. Industry is the
child's breath of life. In play and
work he lives and moves and has

The wise farmer this spring will
take every possible precaution to

in his eye which showed that he
took great pride in the fact. This
is but natural Children are like
other folks, they enjoy responsibility
and respond to an opportunity to
display ability. This boy has earned
some money for the last five years.

NO child is naturally lazy. AL

CTS, the doctor his patients. The pres ident of a bank is a servant and so is the president of a railway. The presi- dent of the United States is the hired servant of the people of the United States. and few servants in any occu- patton are more abused by their mas ters.
 s Service. well and faithfully per formed, is the only real dignity, and all the outward pomp and insignia of rank are but badges of service, and dis graceful if they are not earned.
 Service is life It is only when we are doing something to serve the large movement of the world that we are entitled to live in it, that we really do live in it. Life is measured by useful ness. Of all the varied affliction that swift footed age can bring, none is more oppressive than the sense of di- unfinished capacity for service.
 Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. rot to be served, but to serve, is the utterance of the highest author ity in spiritual matters. There is but one disgrace connected with service of any kind, and that is to serve ill. Let us perform whatever service falls to us, large. or small, high or low, with all the zeal and all the strength that is in us. Then we shall be sure that when we depart we shall he missed, if only a little: and there is no more solid satis- faction in the world than that.

were in the pack. Mir. Mllholland Tracked him for some 1O0 yards, but bruin in that distance appeared t. have dropped nothing.
 The bear also smashed up the cook stove, having been atlaeted by the hunger inducing smell of the interior of the oven.
 Bruin is self-educated but eXcep- tionaily wise in the way of mankind. Another prospector proved that last year. Having suffered the loss of much food. he prepared a particularly tasty morsel for the bear and lett it in the cabin, with a notice on it to warn any prospectors or hunters that might enter that it was intended for bruin, and bruin alone. The bear ar rived in due course-and ate every thing edible and some things that were not, but passed up the meal that had been prepared for him. And it was bacon, too. This prospector declares that the bear must be able to read. Hans Haze shot a grizzly up the creek a couple of weeks age, and pros pectors in the district thought their troubles might be over. But the re- cent losses have convinced them the grizzly was not the culprit. A black Dear is blamed.

Woodrow sue in last night and reported that hrUin had climbed more than fifteen feet up a tree and consumed a three weeks supply of food that he had packed in. The loss is much greater than the value of the food, because Of the labor involved in packing it up the creek to the claims.
 Eruin is a gourmand when it comes to bacon and when he gets a side pur- EaSed at 55 cents a pound he acquires d meal that no one but a millionaire could pay for very often, Rruin still owes for it, but there are intimations that wise as he is in lodging anyone with a gun he will pay pretty soon, if the prospectors have to use hand srenades, d 42-eentimeter gun and chlorine gas to do it.

REDSKINS DEFEAT HIGH SCHOOL IN
 SCRAPPY CAME

The Indian School football eleven was the victor in the football game yesterday afternoon at the Indian school grounds when it defeated the high school by score of six to two. The game was hotly contested from start to finish, both teams fighting hard for victory. The Coyotes were finally nosed out by small margin by the Indians superior playing al though the latter boys were out weighed by their pale faced rivals.
 The Indians played the open game and were complete masters of the for ward pass at all times. Butler, the foxy Hectic" quarterback of the In dians was practically half of their team. He played like a demon, doing all the bunting and passing. He was undoubtedly the individual star of the game and the man that was respon- sible for the defeat of the Coyotes.

WAYSIDE ORCHARD

Wayside orchards are quite a fea- ture of the roads in many parts O Herefordshire. Dams3ns are the trees usually planted for this purpose. and along many of the main roads they have been planted in the hedges at in tervals Of Q few yards for consider able distances.
 Great masses of snowy bloom in spring and the purple of ripening fruit in the late summer do much to add to the beauty of one of the most beautiful counties in England.
 Some enterprising farmers have planted damson trees in every hedge on the farm, and the damson crop is quite a considerable factor on their agricultural returns. Tons of the fruit are gathered in a half-ripe state and used for dyeing purposes.
