Are the Green Fish Of Raymer

High.
The freshmen Of Raymer High
startled the school some time ago, by
creating Cor themselves an idol.
This wonderful creation-the Idol,
which grew from the results OF their
magic skill. was a fish! 1t wouldn't
have been surprising II their fancies
had inclined toward an ordinary fish,
but this one was green. The fresh
men displayed It before everyone, and
their pride knew no bounds. But, 10
and behold the life OF their idol was
doomed. Little did they know, az
they exhibited It 20 proudly before
an admiriHg audience, that In q few
short days their idol would end it,
existepce-the existence which 1t had
only begun. After assuring them
selves that no one had missed see
ing their fish, the Freshmen accorded
It q place Of honor, high upon the
wall Of the magnificent high school
room Of the Raymer school.
But the Freshmen did not guard
their precious treasure cosely
enough. BY hard unfeeling hands 1t
was taken from Its height Of dignity;
with the same merciless hands 1t
was cruely hung on top flag-pole.
The poor, despairing Freshmen were
forced to stand by and watch their
beautiful creation being mistreated
by those who failed to recognize ita
true value. 1t was finally rescued,
and, with tears Of sorrow and anger,
the Freshmen gathered around the
sadly wounded and mutilated fish.
1t was taken to the home Of q
Freshman student. and there It stay
ed for q short time. But It was cap
tured again by its unTelenting tor
mentors. What terrible anguish and
pain the hsoric green fish endured,
only the Freshies know.
The crowning act came, when by
savage, ruthless, hands, II was thrust
had 1t done to be burned thus? Per-
haps 1t was paying for the sins Of
haps It way paying for the sins Of
others. We do not know. But we
must comfort the sorrowing Fresh.

hour Of grief.

The Raymer girls had high hopes
Of winning, but at the end OF the hrst
half victory looked doomed. They
did not play as well as usual and
Keota did just the opposite. The

marched up and down the room with

from suspicion, but because one might
learn a little thing rtwo from him.
One snowy day he professed to be
greatly annoyed by the sloppy
galoshes" his teacher wore. We don't
know all that went before. But we
did zee Wayne down on his knees to

Masters shoe, as Bunyan calls it, covering

creatures that only God could make. We

flowers and plants and trees that only God
could make grow. We see all the rivers

from his studies, chow do you know there
is a God?
"Why, what makes you ask the ques-
ton /? Do you doubt the existence of God ?"
"Well, heard one of the students say
that he had been reading book that
proved conclusively that you could know
nothing about God, nor even be sure there
is a God He said that, if there were a
God, He was outside of the world and of
such nature that we could not know
Him. Is there any way really to know"
"Well, my boy, do you remember the
other day that you were laughing about
Robinson Crusoe's dismay at discovering
that there were other persons on the island
besides himself? How did he discover
them? Did he see them? No; he dis

sand, and he knew that it could not be his

could have made it, and he knew that
whoever had made it could not be far off,
for the tide had not yet reached it. All
those things he knew to be true, although
he had not seen a human being within
miles of the island. And the knowledge
was all gained from mark in the sand.

AMUSING QUESTIONS
ASKED IN THE PRIMARY
uERE TTYECnAY

There used 10 be a game called
foolish questions and it still seems
to be in vogue as proved In the cleo
ton here Tuesday. Among some of the
queries which the day called forth
were: us Reed a Democrat or Re
publican? Well if Reed Is . Dem
ocrat, what is Long? How can they
both be Democrats and be on the
same ticket9 What's a majority and
what's aplurality?"
Yet all Of these things are eclipsed
by a story told BY n Of the candi-
dates. The candidate was soliciting 9
woman's vote and after representing
all arguments and thinking he had
made a good suppression, he said The
woman looked at him and said: sYou
want me to vote for youf Why ]
didn't know women could
