Misses Mabel Gorder and

last Tuesday. They visited the
various classes of the Primary
and intermediate grades during
the forenoon and in the after
noou they visited the Freshman
class. We appreciate their visit
and welcome others to visit our
schools.
There has been an increased
demand for the Abridged Acad-

order of Abridged song books
was received and distributed for
use among the Intermediate

Friday a new supply was re-

mans steps behind them. But,
as they were in such great hurry
and excitement they did not look
back, neither did they doubt but
that he was following them.
When they reached their
home they told their parents
that they had met a tramp and
that he had run after them all
the way home but had not sue
ceeded in catching up to them.
Their parents would not believe
this but tried to convince the
girls that it had been one
Of their neighbors who had tried
to brighten them. This, the
girls would not believe. They
were positive the man was a
tramp inasmuch as he looked
like one and they knew that none
of their neighbors would fright
en- them in that way.
A few days later they were in

formed that the man they had
seen was one of their neighbors
who had been out hunting and
had gone into the cabin to rest.
He had not intended to brighten
them, neither had he run after
them. Consequently, the steps
which they had heard behind
them was the product of their
imagination.

There is one thing you cam
not do. You cannot make a Sue
cess of any undertaking or task
in life unless you work. If you
cannot work and apply your en-
ergies you will become a chronic
loafer, despised by all, produc-
ing nothing, simply making
yourself a state or parental para
site. There is no place in: the
world for loafers. The ripe fruit
is always at the top of the tree.
And if you desire to get it, you
must climb for it. If you wait
for it to fall at your feet you
will never get it. Smarter men
will jump up and get it all. It
remains with you to do some
thing. If you wish to succeed
in school life you must help
yourself to the opportunities Of
fered. Guidance and assistance
are given you but you must toll
and work out your own tasks.
Toll, grit and endurance are the
prime requisites. It is up to
you.
Elmer Holt was absent from
classes last Friday. He was
present Monday, however, to
resume school duties again.
The following composition
was written by Pauline Henning,
a member of the freshman Eng
fish class. The subject assigned
was entitled "A Walk Through
The Woods"
One evening two girls started
out for a walk in the woods. The
sun was nearing the western
horizon and a soft breeze was
blowing through the woods MAX
ing the leaves rustic. They had
walked about a mile and the
darkness was coming on, when
they came to an old log cabin
which was standing between the
bushes. They had passed this
cabin several times but had
never entered it. So, when they
reached it one of the girls sug-
gested that they should investi-
gate the cabin. Acting upon the
suggestion, they walked up to
the door and opened it. Owing
to the fact that darkness was
nearly upon them and With only
two small openings to exhibit
the light, darkness prevented a
clear observation Of the interior.
Just as the girls sat down to
rest, they heard a noise in anoth-
er room as if someone was walk
ing across the floor. This
frightened them so that they
quickly closed the door and ran
away from the cabin. A few
wards away from the cabin they
stopped, and, looking back saw
a man coming from the cabin
toward them. Believing him to
be a tramp, they ran in the di-
rection from which they had
come. The girls were very ner-
vous and every little while
would think that they heard the

upon being approached regard
ing it Martin claims that instead
of coming right home from Far
go he made a trip down to Glen
wood, Mimi, for a short visit
with relatives and old-time
friends. In talking about Min
nesota and the Glenwood coun-
try in particular, Martin re-
marked that so many people talk
about the fine trees down there
but he could not see the point
in this as the trees in the Turtle
Mountains and this country in
general, has Minnesota faded to
a fare-you-well. North Dakota
and especially Bottineau county
is some place after all as COM
pared with other places.
