LEARNING TO BEAR.

A merciful Creator has so consti-
tuted us that we rise from the pro-
fOundest grief to bear with fortitudc
the saddest bereavements. What
seems the awful decree of Fate which
rivets hearts and makes the years to
some seem black and bleak and cold
and desolate, is less awful and less
tragic as the months roll by. Men
smile again. tho poverty follows af-
fluence. and tho obscurity follows
fame, lost love finds balm in the
treasure-house of the future. The
darkest hour is the hour before the

I've just shut up about it and gone
along as if I didn't give a damn. and
all the fellows have evidently forgot
ten that there's anything wrong with
me- 1t just happens that I've gotten in
with the Y. X. bunch. About a month
ago they asked me into their ''house'
after supper, and ! sat around and
smoked and felt generally self-con-
scious. But now, since I've been 60
ing into the House every evening, 1t
seems very natural and honey. Gee,
it's great feeling. 1 haven't in
gratiated myself, you understand
there wouldn't be any fun in 1t If
had-it has just happened that-a-way .

Canon High
= Defeats Central
at Basketball

The Canon City High school basket
ball team won their fifth straight vic
tory Friday night in Pueblo when they
defeated Central High school on their
own floor. The game was close and
hard played and from all standpoints
q fine article Of the sport. At $50 a
large crowd was waiting at the Central
school to get seats to see the game
and the crowd was SO large thot II
was necessary for the school to re-
fuse some of the people admittance.
The support given the Pueblo team
was remarkable and the people saw
a good game In return for their pres
ence.
The game was fast and clean and
throughout because of the fact that It
was the first game that Wilson and
Hoover had ever played on a large
floor and 1t took them till the latter
part OF the game to get used to this
condition.
Every member of the Canon team
played hard, clean ball and but three
personals were called on the whole
team throughout the game. The fea-
ture Of the game was the fairness dis
played which. resulted in the score of
20 to 30 in Canon's favor.
Ackelbine starred and Lewis played
a fine article. The Canon team worked
together all the time and won by their
team work and passing. The last few
winning goals were made BY the com
~.
eibine who passed the ball till one of
them got a chance for a goal. Ackei-
bine made several spectacular shots
and they were all clean baskets.
The lineup was as follows:
