How Would You Tie q Career

Because of its peculiar swaying mo-
ton in walking the camel has been
called the "ship of the desert" This
title may also have some reference to
the extreme stupidity and passivity of
the animal, which submits to great
loads, which it will often carry for
days at a time without stopping for
food or drink, with no more urging
than a ship would require from the
hands of it's pilot, says the Popular
Science Monthly. Tha manner in which
the drivers hobble the camels when
they stop for a rest is interesting.
They do not depend upon stakes driven
in the deep, yielding sand, but simply
double back and tie one of the fore
legs of the animal, so that it can lie
down or rise up, but cannot move from
the spot.

Commencement Week.

If there is any one week of the whole
year which develops more interest in
the city than another, it is commence
ment week. With class of 50 mem
bers, red, white and blue as class col
ors, my Country IT'S of Thee" as the
motto, there is certainly more reason
for all to have double interest in the
weeks exercises this year.
The Senior class play, The Dear
Boy Graduates at Majestic theater
Friday night, May 31st, was the first

of all who took part were highly appre-
ciated by the large audience present.
Sunday night, June 2, the baccalaure-
ate service was held at st. Joseph's
church. DR.. O'Hearn of Milwaukee
delivered the address. He advised the
graduates to set goodness above great
ness, emphasizing the old proverb that
cit is good thing to be great but
much greater thing to be good" and
admonished them to keep always in
mind that the Measure Of life is not
in it's span, but in the use that is made
of it." Mrs. Malecke Of Stoughton
furnished music.
The Glass Night program was given
in the high school auditorium Wednes-
day evening, June 5, and proved one OF
the best exercises in the history '.com-
