FREEDOM MUST BE BOUGHT
Mastery of All Passions and
Appetites.

Freedom is not a gift, but an at
tainment. 1t does not characterize
the state of nature, but flowers from
the growth of personality and civiliza-
ton.
Action issues from character and
there is inner discord and the feel
ing of restraint until the individual
is happy and satisfied in his act and
attitude.
A divided will marks incomplete
personality, and it is not a free will.
Every man must win his own free
dom. He must desire it enough to,
pay its price, and its price is the mas
terry of passions and appetites.
AS a man gains mastery over his
own powers and desires he is free.
Resolutions are good, because they
witness to the sense Of incomplete self
mastery and to the vision of greater
Self-cOntrol and freedom that are pos
sible.-ALinneapOlis Journal.

LEGEND IN NEW CLOTHIM !
Story of Samson and DeIlIah as Il
Might Have Been, but Undoubt-
eddy Was Not.

"Now, Sammy" began Delilah, coax.
ngy, as she advanced toward him
With her hands behind her holding a
pair of scissors. Just look up that
tree-see the little birdie?'
And she coquettishly displayed the
gold filings in her five front teeth.
Samson could never refuse Delilah
anything when she flashed all that
gold on him.
Delilah gently took hold Of a lock
Of Samson's hair with her left hand,
but before she could snip it off with
her right, there was a thunderous
knock on the door.
Twas q man on horseback.
Away! Awayw cried this ancient
Paul Revere. "The flood is coming
down Mount Dingus. Flee thee
hencew
"Oh, Sammy" walled Delilah, drop
ping the scissors. and just paid off
the mortgage on the house this very
week. Now all that money is wasted.
Oh, Sammy"
Samson thought hard for a moment
Then Delilah flashed her teeth once
more.
up! Go up in the attic!" COM
manded Samson. Then he planted
kiss on Delilah's eyebrow and she
flew.
Samson dashed out the door and
lifted up the house in both hands and
tied the doghouse around his neck.
And thus stood he, with Delilah
high and dry, while the food rushed
down Mount Dingus and by.
Gosh !" said Delilah to herself, aft
er it was all over. I'm glad l didn't
cut his hair off before the food

Plan War on Hair Seals.

Hunting hair seals by airplane and
destroying them by machine-gun fire
has been seriously proposed to the
Canadian fisheries department by fish
ermen, says report from Vancouver,
B. C. The scheme proposed and tried
last spring of trapping the salmon-de-
stroying hair seals at the mouth of
the Fraser river by means of set lines
and short laterals armed with strong
hooks brought a measure of success,
but was not entirely victory over the
wise mammalia of the ocean. The
new proposal is to come down on
them from the unsupported heights,
as they bask on the sandbars In thou
sands, and pour a stream of bullets
into them.

THE STOWE CARNIVAL
BY HELEN A. SHAW.

| BY HELEN A. SHAW.
OF Florida flowers, California sunshine.
Let poets and tourists pirate;
But here's to the snow-clad hillsides .
Of the cid Green Mountain State!
Away up in the northern limits,
Where the deepest snowdrifts grow,
Meath the placid smile of Old Mansfield
Lies the little town of, Stowe.
It's people are brave and loyal,
And their hearts are full to the brim
OF hearty good will and high courage,
With plenty of pep" and of vim"
In the matter of celebrations
Stowe never yet went to the wall.
She has Fourth Of Julys and Old Home
Weeks
Now Winter Carnival.
Of course, twas on Washington's birthday
And the whole little town was gay
With Auttering flags and bunting,
To help celebrate the day.
Bright and early in the morning
Burt's log tractor sailed forth,
Gay with its decorations,
To gather crowds from the north.
Then, from the south, the electrics
Came, bringing them in by the score
And from Moscow, the Branch and the
Hollow,
They kept coming more and more.
From Mortified, Montpelier and Barre,
Yes, even from Morrjsville,
In sleighs, cars, autos and tractor,
All bound for Skiboggan Hill"
There were toboggan chutes and ski jumps;
Also a ski-bicycle race.
There were dashes on skis and on snow
shoes,
And snake dance" of toboggans took
place.
All the afternoon and the evening,
With the night hours light as day,
With trOl1c and fun and teast1ng,
"Skiboggan Hill" was gay.
In tent we're hot doughnuts and coffee,
And that dainty, peculiar to Stowe,
Was secved outside in the open,
Maple sugar waXed Cd snow.
They ladled the golden liquid
On the snowdrifts white as wool,
And there everybody Toasted
Until even the moon was full.
Then, when the sports were over,
And the feasting beginning to pail,
They wound up the celebration
With a dance at Memorial Hall.
think if General Washington,
Whom no American will forget,
Had viewed us that day in spirit,
He'd have said to Lafayette:
OF all the birthday celebrations
They have given me down below.
ME very tip-top of the limit
Was that Carnival at Stowe!"

Learning an Anthem.

A choir leader says: "In beginning
the study of new anthem find it a
good plan to 90 right through the
whole piece at the first attempt to get
the general outline and the spirit of
it. AT the first reading l pass by
all mistakes such as false notes, wrong
time, improper phrasing, etc. In some
works it pays to run through the whole
anthem, this way two or three times
that the piece may be grasped suffi-
GENTLY to enable the singers to study
the details with more intelligent re-
lation to the whole"
