SUCCESS AND FAILURE

Every human being is more or
less DESTROYS Of achieving success.
1t matters not how evil life may
have been there is always time
that a wish comes for Something
better than they have been"
AS We know, in anything there is
one OF two results, namely. success
and failure. The latter needs no
explanation save that it is the OPP
posite of the former. 1t must be
remembered that those who 60 to
the successful road are travelling
the road of difficulty and discour-
agements. Regardless Of all OBJ
stacles it is a consolation to know:
Since all that l meet shall work
for good.
The bitter is sweet, the medicine,
food;
Thought painful at present, twill
cease before long.
And then 0 how pleasant the con-
QuerOr's song"
The successful life must be will
ing to take what comes. Whether,
it be to Conquer the earth like
Caeser or to fall down and kiss it
like Brutus." 1t is like a person in
a crowd that is running for q gate.
He must hold his ground and push
forward. II seemingly no honor
comes, so much the better for more
than one life has been failure be-
cause of seeking honor.
Success never comes to an indi-
vidual, but he must 60 after it. A
certain writer has said, "He that
would WIN success in life must
make perseverance his bosom
friend, experience his wise coun-
selor. caution his elder brother, and
hope his guardian genius"
l say that the young life that
takes these guides as its interpre-
tor of the road need not fear fail
lure, but can in his or her heart
say:
"He who from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundless sky
thy certain flights
In the long way that ! tread along.
viii lead my steps Alright"

A WOODCUTTER

Once there was an old man and
woman who lived in the forest In
the winter it was very cold, the
wind blew and the snow was two
feet deep. The old man cut wood
for a living.
One day he came from cutting
wood, and the old woman did not
have dinner ready. He began to
growl with her. The wife said:
"You get like an old bear; for this
i'll talk of yours, you get no dinner
at ALL" So the OLD man went back
to the woods disheartened, as he
sat on snow-covered log, bird
came flying by and said, Spring
will soon be here"
Then the old man went home
with a new hope of Joy and told his
wife the story. He told her how
sorry he was for treating her so
mean. She gave him his dinner
and he went to the woods again.
As he came to where he was work
ing, he saw and old man sitting
there weeping. The woodchopper
asked, What is the matter with
you?" He replied that some rob-
bers had taken his gold, and then
the old man asked him where he
got the gold. The old man an
swered that there was tons of it
back in a mountain, but that he
was unable to get any more on ac-
count of lack of strength.
So the two turned their steps to
this mountain. And then the wood
cutter mined enough gold to last
both for the rest of their lives

HOW THEY HELPED
THEIR COUNTRY

+ There was once a little girl. Her
name was Martha Jones. Her
brothers name was Robert Jones.
He and lis sister were wondering
what they could do to help their
country.
The agreed they would not ask
their mother and father for any
money. Robert said, Il can buy
some news papers and sell them.
! have fifteen cents"
Martha could not think what she
could do. Let us ask Grandma"
suggested Robert. Upon being told
Of the plan and how they wanted to
buy thrift stamps, grandma hired
little Martha at twenty-five cents
per day.
Next morning Robert went and
sold his papers and Martha went
over TO her Grandma's and worked
all day.
When night came, she went
home. Robert was just coming
home. Robert had seventy-five;
Martha had only twenty-five cents,
but Robert gave Martha twenty-five
cents of his earnings that day. So
she had fifty cents and he had fifty
cents.
So they each got two thrift
stamps.-Vera Bozworth, 9th grade,
District No. 6, Boston township.

PETERS REWARD

Peter had four Thrift Stamps.
The first stamp Peter earned by
selling rags, second. by selling fish,
by returning a purse that a lady
had lost, fourth by cutting the
grass.
Now it seemed that no one want
ed their grass cut and they no
longer wanted fish. Peter had no
father or mother. He had a paper
route and that paid his board. He
made dollar and sixty-five cents
per week. He had one pair of
shoes and one suit of clothes. They
were very ragged. His hands and
face were always clean.
AZ last the paper for which he
worked failed and Peter had no
place to work. He was standing
on the corner and he heard two
men talking. One said, Harry, dc
you know where l can get a boy
for a messenger"
mo, l don't" said Harry.
"Sir, l need job very much and
would like a position as a messen-
ger very much. Would do?" said
Peter.
you may come to the Office with
me-" said the man. He liked Pc
ter's looks and gave him the job.
He started hi min at So per week.
Peter, said the man, today you
have made a firm friend and l will
walk down town with you. He mad
noticed Peters ragged clothes. He
took Peter into a clothing store and
bought him everything he needed.
Then they went to jewelers. and
bought Peter a gold watch and
chain. Peter got along fine in his
work and has five war savings GER
tificates and thirteen thrift stamps.
One day as Peter was in the
park a child fell into the bear pit.
Peter took the child from the bear.
He found that she was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Karmer, his employer.
Mr.. Karmer adopted Peter and
sent him to school as reward for
his faithful service.-Julia Burr,
Starr School.

ABOUT BIRDS

The California Quail is very OH
ferent from the Eastern Quail. 1t
not only different in appearance,
but also in habits. The California
Quail spends the night in bushes
and low trees, while the Eastern
Quail spends the night on the
ground. Its call is different also.
1t has several distinct notes and
calls the most common of which
sounds like a rooster call. The
other calls are interpreted as mean
ing, You go away" Cut it out, !"
and Put that down" This call Is
sort of warning call for the men,
bers of the quail family to be on
their guard.
Along the Amy and damp coast
belt of Califo mia the bird is Of a
darker color md is large in size
while in the dr. interior 1t is pale
in color and is very small. The
darker quail is c, lied the California
Quail and the O, YER is called the
Valley Quail.
The Quails nest very interest
ing. 1t is usually a little hollow in
the ground with Ii, lie dried grass
or a few feathers fol- u lining with
the advantage of st ne, shrub or
a tuft of grass to conc al it.
The number of e. gs varies.
Sometimes there has be, n found as
high as thirty-one or -tV !, eggs in
a single nest. The usual lumber is
from fifteen to twenty. TIL ground
work Of the egg is of creamy
white while the markings al 2 spots
and blotches from a golden yellow
to a dark brown. If the eg. are
touched by anyone, even thou, h by
only one finger the nest is n, arly
always deserted.

ARBOR DAY

Arbor day is different from any
of our other holidays in that it is
looking toward the future, while all
of the other holidays are to COM
memorate something that is past.
We celebrate the birthdays of our
great men, both statesmen and writ.
ers; we celebrate the anniversa-
ries of great deeds-of the great
things that have been accom-.
plished. But Arbof Day is our one
day that is all for the future.
Although Arbor Day is one of our
newest holidays, long, long ago
there were other nations that had
similar holidays 1t is said that
the Old Mexican Indians planted
trees on certain days Of the year
naming them after their children;
also that the Aztecs had a tree
planting day. In this country We
are indebted to Hon. J. Sterling
Morton, of Nebraska, for the insti-
tuition of Arbor Day. He was pi-
oneer of the plains and felt the val
ue of trees. Arbor Day was first
established in 1873, and Nebraska
IL known as 1.-THE Tree Planters
State. "-Casimir Reilly. St. Marys

ORCHARD ORIOLE

How many of you know any
thing about the Orchard Oriols.
Juniors? l suspect that all of you
have seen the bird, but know little
about him.
The Orchard Oriole lives mostly
on caterpillars and other insects
that he can find in the tops of trees.
After the breeding season he il a.
ten seen on the freshly ploughed
ground after other insects. For the
few berries that he eats he repays
the farmer three fold by keeping
away the harmful insects.
The nest of the Orchad Oriole is
to be found supported by slender
twigs and is usually In the top Of
an apple tree. The nest is some
what pensile, but Is shorter and
more firm than the long pocket nest
Of the Baltimore Oriole. The open-
ing is somewhat CONSTRUCTED. It 10
made of fine dry greenish or vel
iowish grass and is deliberately
lined and woven. The bottom Is
lined with soft vegetable down and
feathers.
The eggs are grayish white with
lavender spots and In fact are some
what like the eggs Of the Balti-
more Oriole, but are smaller and
more coarsely marked. There are
usually three to five in number.
The plumage Of the male Oriole
goes through striking changes.
While yet q nesting and during the
first autumn the male looks much
the same as the female a dress of
green and yellow. The next fall
his throat becomes black and In his
old age he is obliged to wear a
dress of chestnut and black.

ABOUT TREES

Trees are one Of the important
factors Of nature. They draw and
retain moisture, thus aiding in the
growth Of vegetation. Trees grow
in nearly every part of the world,
but they differ in form and size in
the different zones and climates.
After the willow in the Frigid
zones-the lowest form of tree
comes in succession the alder,
birch, larch, pine, oak, linden, chest
nut, poplar, redwood, date-palm,
tree-fern. wax-palm, and last comes
the coceanut-palm,th the highest form
of tree that grows in the Torrid
Zone.
Each genus is represented by
many species. Thus a few of the
species Of the oak are, white. red,
black, live and cork; few Of the
pine are, Scotch-fir, the white, the
yellow, the pitch and the stone;
and several of the palm have been
named above.
We get many kinds of food from
trees; as apples, peaches, cherries,
apricots, olives, oranges, and ba-
nanas. Others bear nuts, as the
beech, chestnut, walnut and palm.
Then there are trees producing
foods, which we would hardly think
tree could produce. There Is
a tree in South America called the
milk tree, yielding sap which
tastes like cows milk.
Another, the bread fruit tree, has,
as it's name suggests, fruit which
resembles bread. The sago palm
yields a well known form of starch.
Coffee is obtained from a tree,
which is often called a plant.
There are spice trees; camphor,
cassia, cinnamon, Glove, mace, nut
meg, etc. Fodder for cattle is pro-
duced from the grass tree, a ma
tive Of Australia, whose trunk ends
in large tuft Of grass.-John w.
Weber, st. Mary School.

THE ALICE THRUSH.

The Alice Thrush is also called
the "gray-cheeked" thrush because
of its rather peculiar markings. It's
hack and tail are an even olive
brown and its cheeks gray. The
eye rings are wbitish. 1t is about
the size of a blue bird.
1t is very shy during the nesting
season and builds its nest in very
secluded spots. They build in
bushes or small trees. The nest is
made of grass, leaves and twigs.
1t is lined with grass. The eggs
are greenish blue and spotted with
reddish brown. There are usually
four and it takes them about thir-
teen days to hatch.
The Alice Thrush never sings ex-
cept ct nesting time.
