Lirs 10 STRANGE

When man determines to abjure
punk habits which have made him
poor. Il seems that all the fates pro-
test, and for his downfall do theiri
best. My pastor often called me
down foor smoking pipes around the
town. A fond example for the
young" he grimly said. by you is
sprung. the children see you burning
and initiate your curves, alas! My
doctor said. you've smoked so long
that all your works are going wrong"
And so cried. ''T'll smoke no more.
though snokeless days may be a
bore" Before my vow had aged q
day. n neighbor sought my door to
say. "Your songs encourage and up
lift. and so I've brought little gift;
. pipe OF meorchum. fair 10 see.
and when you smoke II think OF me"
When he departed from my gate,
there came another smiling sknte.
who sa,d. 20 Bard, your dcathless
rhymes have saved my life a thous-
and times. When ! had chilblains
and repent. rubbed your verses on
my feet; and when my hair was fall
ling out. and when | had the duplex
gout, took n madrIgal OF yours. aud
found Il beat the drug store cures.
You are a sun among the stars. and
80 I've brought You some cigars, the
Kind that kings and princes use
they do not smell like burning shoes"
You ask me II kept my vow; don't
bother mo-fm busy now.--Walt

SCHOOL BELLS AGAIN RING

Both the Holyoke Public School and
the County High School opened Mon
day morning with record enroll
ment and the young America may be
seen vending their way to school.
The usual vacation haunts are desert
ed and the laugh of the small boy is
no more heard during the school
hours.
The teachers who will have charge
the coming year in the County High
school are Prof. Robb. the Super
intendent, with the same corps Of
teachers, with the exception of Miss
Wills. as last year. The work done
in this splendidly equipped high
school building. in the past, gives
greater promise for the coming year
than ever before. The beautiful lawn
and in fact everything connected with
this institution tends to the uplift Of
the pupils both intellectually, ethi-
caily. and artistically. Not the least
factor in the education impaired In
this school. y the work Of Mrs Henry
Mitchell. who cares for the building
and the beautiful grounds. Clean
and beautiful surroundings count for
much in the education OF the young.
and Mr.. Mitchell comes in for his
full share In the arrangement and
choice OF flowers and his care Of the
fine grounds. Holyoke has one OF the

high schools for the size OF the town
