In school there are three classes of students: One class is the pupils who know everything already; the ather two are those who have too little confidence in themselves, and the normal pupils. Of the two classes who have too much eonfi- dence in themselves and those who haven't enough, the latter is the easiest to handle. The normal pu- pil has reasonable estimate of his ability and is usually successful. Success depends upon the correct estimate of ability. One poet has truly said, @'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" There are three important considerations to be made when choosing a vocation Fhe' physical appearance plays a great part Tn ones vocation. If one in- tends to dc something uncommon he should have an uncommon look. One who has some peculiar appear ance soon attracts the attention and it is not hard to hold. Bob Taylor often commences his lectures by initiating different men and then showing his way and telling his purpose.
 Nearly everyone has something he can do better than another. Students show special ability in school. These abilities should be studied and considered in choosing vocation Then there is one's attitude toward certain lines of work The work that is easiest we generally take more pleasure in do- ing. The work that gives one pleas ure in doing will result in happiness and success will come sooner | -E q

Skowhegan Jail for violation of the
prohibtory law, and who few
months ago was denied a pardon by
the Executive Council of the last ad-
ministratlon, is again petitioner for
Executive clemency. His counsel is
Daniel w Mason of Bangor. The pc
tition says:
Respectfully represents Nelson w.
p. Munster of Jackman that in the
Western Somerset municipal court on
July rs, 1920, he was convicted of I'M
lawfully having in possession GER
tain quantity of intoxicating liquor
and was sentenced to a fine of $500
and costs and six months in Jail and
in default of payment of fine and costs
to serve six months additional, in Jail
at Skowhegan.
He humbly prays that after due no
tice and hearings he may be pardoned
for the following reasons:
First: That he was not guilty Of
said crime and he did not enter an
appeal in due season, owing to his
ignorance of the law.
Second: If he was guilty the pun
ishment is, indeed, excessive as he was
given the full penalty of the law.
The petition is dated Jan. % 1921, at
Skowhegan.
