THE LOOKING GLASS

The inventor OF the looking glass
was a lover of women or he would
not have known what they were
satisfied with. In almost anyplace
where you go you can see piece
of glass with paint on one side,
hanging on the wall. This particu-
lar thing is called looking glass
and much priced by the ladies. We
have several looking glasses in
school and an easy way to see that
they are priced by the ladies is just
to watch the east room. A large
number of girls gather here each
morning.
Why do girls prize looking
glass so high? This is the reason.
They are, as a general thing, very
proud of themselves and want to
be as neat as possible. A girl is
not to learn how to be neat here In
school but to get an education. AS
a general thing girls spend more
time looking in the glass than they
do studying. Another reason why
they prize looking glass is this
1t gives them an opportunity to ad-
mire themselves. There are many
girls who have no one to admire
them and a looking glass affords
them the privilege Of doing it them
selves. 81.
Many q girl who keeps company
will spend two or three hours in
front of the looking glass before
his arrival, when she should be
helping Eer poor mother wash dish
es or doing her work. should
think that the inventor OF look
ing glass would be ashamed of him
selv for taking so many people
from their labor. s..,.
II he had thought. probably he
would not have done it and il he
had not We could raise more food
The swell ladies in town would not
think themselves so smart II they
had not been able to see themselves
and then they would not have been
too high classed to raise a hill Of
potatoes or a stalk Of beans in their
yard. If each one would do this it
would help some because every lit
tie bit helps.-Ralph Locke, Lewis
burg, O.

You Can't Kill a Cat
Hicksville Tried 1t

Hiram Corntassel brought cat
home the other day, and it proved
to be such nuisance to the neigh
bors that he had decided to get rid
of the animal in some manner. Hi
rams next door neighbor gave in
a suggestion to get tub of water
and tie a brick around the cats
neck and leave it over night. This
method was used, but the cat ap-
peared next morning as usual.
81 though you tied a brick
around that cats neck and drown
ed it last night" said the neigh
Dor.
81 did follow your instructions
and filleG the tub with water and
when / got up this morning the
cat had drank all the water and
was sitting on the brick" said Hi
ram.

OLD MAIDS CORNER

For a new patent on locking
doors just see Aunt Mahitable. Her
doors are securely guarded by lawn
mowers and dishes, etc.
On account of severe illness Liza
Jane has had to part with her beau
tiful tresses but nevertheless she
looks very cute.
Betty Jones sure is the most awk-
ward critter. She is continually
falling down. We wonder if it is
getting contagious. From Cutey?
Aunt Nathalie acknowledges
that she is little awkward her
self, especially when those digni-
fled (?) Sophomores and Seniors
are standing around. | haven't
seen her yet but when she reaches
her destination she is always five
minutes late and always eXclaims,
ooh horrors! Why are there so
many steps to climb and l am con-
tinually falling over the door fas-
teners and.
The Old Maids have recently join
ed knitting club. 1t will hold a
conference at Betty Jones house
next Saturday afternoon.
Betty Jones thinks that an oc-
casional washing of the teeth is
sufficient She washed her teeth
night before last.
We all wish that Ruth Smith and
her friend would get on speaking
terms again. Such initials as the
following are found among her
books. M. B. l. L., which means my
ball is lost.
Nothing seems so interesting to
Daniel Rost as to play with the
girls hair in the general science
class.
If anyone has a question that
they would like to have answered
and are able to take joke the Old
Maids will try and answer 1t. We
will start QUESTIONABLE in our
corner next week.
