"JEST RUMINATIN'." (RObcrt RuSScll.)

Remember, it is summer still, aa' wonderful it's joys; The winter is for other things; the weather of annoys, An so it's sort O up to us to seize on what remains O. summer sports an all the things that to warm days pertain.
 It won't be long afore you may not bare your head to feel The gentle breeze O summer bringin' comfort real; It won't be long afore those rides you take on summer nights
 Will take on the appearance O jest transportation flights An pretty soon the fire in the hearth will look so good You won't feel like a-donnin' heavy overshoes an hood. There'll be no flowers by the way, which you stoop down to pick;
 Each time you bend your coolin' back, you'll feel sort O crick. So when you plan an hour O joy, spent with the girls or boys,
 Remember it is summer still, an wonderful it's joys.

Lights and Shadows
 By John J. Daily

OUT THERE, SOMEWHERE Give me a glimpse of the far and
 strange,
 Where the rocky road runs down To an open field and friendly range, Bout a hundred miles from town. I am sick of the city's screechlngs,
 Of it's fevered face and froWn, And l long for adventures teachings Some thousand miles from town. 1 would taste of the gall and honey
 On the dusty trails and brown Where there is no need for money
 When a thousand miles from town. Just to ride on a cowboys pony
 With the feathers creakin' soun' Were better than matrimony
 When hundred miles from town. With the fleet of the stars above him, And the silence of earth aroun', Well, feller needs none to love him
 When a hundred miles from totwn. There is joy on the western prairies Where the sons of the soil aboun', Where there are no James and Marys, Bout q thousand miles from town.

JUST BRAVE; THAT'S ALL.

Many will say, as did the man mainly concerned in the matter, that there is no especial need of cofhment on the brave act of a policeman in holding to a frenzied runaway horse, being thrown against an iron fence life perhaps, and still holding on until his end of calming the animal and saving others from injury was accom- plished. It's all in the days work part of life's job, says the man who does the thing, the man familiar with the duties of a policeman.
 But there is use in comm entin 5 upon it. Any noteworthy achievement by a man who passes his life among us, who represents in the stopping of a runaway horse, the ideal that should be held by men in his position, is worthy of comment. Perhaps there were others, in this instance, to whom credit is due. If there are what is said of the policeman who stuck to l his job' as we'll as to the excited 1 | animal applies, just as appreciation of any good or even kindly deed makes a repetition of it more probable by others than the persons concerned i7 | this one case.
 A world lacking such actions is in,
 conceivable. Some go through lire 1 taking all they can get, being the beneficiaries> of everyone, never try. ling to even matters up at all by ex-

TEACHERS READING CIRCLE
WAS WELL ATTENDED


About thirty.fve teachers were In
attendance at the first meeting Of the
East-Side Phillips County Teachers
Reading Circle which met at the
high school building. October 80. at
p. m.
1t was noteworthy that every teach
err on the program was present, and
the subject matter of the chapters
assigned to them was presented in an
able manner, and the interest and en-
thusiasm shown by all present re-
vealed true professional spirit
worthy of our profession.
Miss Henline came first with
clear and concisely outlined present.
alton of chapters one and two of
Turner's Essential of Good Teaching,
showing the al nj of the author to
bring before teachers the essential
things of good teaching" as he sees
them. Miss Olive Young followed
with chapters three and four Of the
same book, giving brief and clear
presentation of the authors thoughts
and introduced an interesting feature, !,
by having Wayne Norman, one of her
third grade pupils, read an animal
story illustrating some of the authors
ideas. This reading was done In a
very prepussessed and dignified man
ner aud was much enjoyed by the
teachers. Following this, Mr.. Smith
son of the Holyoke grades, gave his
Interpretation of the first five chap
ters of Branom's The First Teaching
OF Geography" expressing some very
original ideas Of his own, relative to
teaching, which seemed to meet the
approval of those present. A care
fully prepared presentation of chap
ter six of the same subject was given
by Miss Mabel Green, and did her
much credit and was appreciated.
The first five chapters of "Ameri.
cans ALL" by Heydrick. was assigned
to Miss Kinney. the English teacher.
She was perfectly at home" with her
subject, and inspired us with the de-
sire to read the book. She also re-
lated some interesting facts regard
ing the authors OF these short stories.
The preface OF this book states that
no nation has produced single

The aim OF the author was to pre-
sent volume so broad, so typical
so true. that it would stand as the
adequate expression in fiction OF
American life, and our short story

this country. enables him to interpret
as he believes. American Life The
characters are all Americans. yet not
all of the Americans.
After the program the teachers were
invited to the kitchen, where ice
cream. cookies and coffee awaited
them: after which they separated
some to the football game, others to
their homes. feeling that the little
time spent together had been pleas
ant and profitable.
