this information one can obtain veri-

forth the social side of White House
life. in the Arthur administration.
Both Mr.. Cleveland and General

The writer has most vivid mental

too--in the home of Washington Por-

and a visit to that city in the period
between his first election and inaug-
uration.
The Colonel's Cigarette Box
Any veteran Washington newspap-

of cigarettes which Colonel Roosevelt
kept alongside the, box of cigars in
the executive offices to be put out for
the choice of the caller, whether he

embassies, it was certainty that his

shorter smoke and the President would
join him. Maybe the colonel would

ring or two and make the guest feel

From the New York SUM

In the press accounts of the pro-
test sent to the President-elect by a
more or less daring woman reformer
CT Chicago over his preference for a
smoke in the form of cigarettes, Mr..
Harding was accorded trivial dis
tinction to which, as matter Of fact,
he was not wholly entitled. 1t was
said that the protest was evoked by
the circumstance that he would be
the first cigarette smoker ever to oc-
cupy the White House. Facts say
otherwise.
Mr.. Arthur smoked cigarettes. He
was connoisseur in tobaccos, as he
was in many other of the good things
of life. He enjoyed nothing more

Importance of School Spirit.

Every student in high school should
recognize school spirit as a very impor-
tant factor in becoming accustomed to
real school life and what it should be.
Many students have very little interest in
this matter concerning school spirit for
many attend high school just merely for
the sake of going to school.
In order to become successful in both
life and school one must first have the
right attitude and spirit toward his work
and surroundings.
If a stronger spirit prevailed throughout
the school every student would enjoy
school to a much larger extent and would
hold more interest in his studies and
therefore receive higher marks in every
subject.
Every student should have a certain
goal which he expects to reach some day
by hard effort. but in order to do this he
must first have the right spirit about his
work.
So. boys and girls, why not keep this
idea in mind throughout your lives?
