A TRUE FISH STORY

A naturalist, writes James B. Thorse in
one of his clever insurance letters, once
divided an aquarium with glass parti-
tioA. He put lusty bass in one section
and dropped half dozen minnows in the
other.
The bass struck every time minnow
approached the glass partition. After three
days of fruitless lunging, which netted
him only bruises, he ceased his efforts and
subsisted entirely on the food that was
dropped in.
Then the naturalist removed the parti-
ton. The minnows swan all around the
bass, but he did not strike at single one.
He had been thoroughly sold on the idea
that business ecas%b bad.
There's moral here if we need it-take
another shot at the glass partition. May
be it isn't there any more.-Ex.

AUTUMN

Now Autumn is here. The smoke of
her camp fires spreads a blue haze over
the morning today. 1t made the fragrance
and color of the flower gardens and the
emerald canopies of the tree tops more
precious than ever, it seemed. The veiled
sun wore pensive look as if resting from
its ardent shining of many moons; the
lovely blue wall of the sky was banked
with white drifts; the wind swung free
with crisp freshness in its touch family
suggesting its searching fingers of such
short time later.
For days we have been observing the
signals of Autumn. Leaves have hutered
across our way wearing the chrome and
russet of her brush; the hiltops that
springtime painted tender green have
been deepening into brown 1.-THE soft shades
of wild bloom over the marching acres
have been woven into a royal woof of
purple and gold the breath of fresh loan
and budding verdure has been supplahted
by the spice and tang of ripened branch
and blade.
Yes, Autumn is here, and soon she will
possess the land with her riot of color and
revel of fruition. She comes with her
wistful beauty and with the note of minor
in her song that will enchant and intrigue
the hearts of men until they shall neither
lock forward nor backward but shall say,
"Here, now, is loveliness and here is the
season of delight. ."-Ex.

TREASURY SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

A report of Treasury Savings Certif-
icates sales received from the Treasury
Department by E. c. Kibbee, shows that
the Ninth District stands high in the
National sales.
Mr.. Kibbee said, "The comparative sales
figures show that during the month of
August people in the Ninth District in
vested $504,364 in Treasury Savings Ger
tifcates, which is an average per capita
of 10 cents. This per capita sale was
exceeded by but one District in the Coun-
try-the tenth, located at Kansas City.
The total Certificates sold in the Ninth
District for the first eight months of the
year covered by the report, amount to
$s,791,056, an average per capita invest
ment of SLIP.
"Since January 1st, 1928, the American
people have invested approximately $780,
100000 in this Government security.
"The foregoing figures represent COM
paratively small purchases, as the limit
any one person may invest in Treasury
Savings Certificates during calendar
year is $4,100, this being the cost of Ger
tifcates which will in five years reach
maturity value of $4,000.
can increasing number of people are
investing regularly in the SIS and 500
Certificates, costing $2O.50 and $500.
Treasury Savings Certificates are an ideal
investment"
Inmates desiring to purchase Certificates
should notify their officer as to the amount
they wish to inwsst.

JACK-O'- O'-LANTERN'

The man in the moon looked down on the
field,
Where the golden pumpkin lay;
He winked at him, and he blinked at him,
In the funniest kind of way.
But on Halloween when the moon looked
down
From the sky, through the shadows dim,
The pumpkin fat on a gatepost sat,
And saucily laughed at him.

Erie Canal was opened on October 26,

Christian Science services were con-
Quoted in the chapel Sunday morning.
-Inasmuch as Armistice Day falls on
Sunday this year, Governor Preus has
designated Monday, November IL, as the
day in which it is to be observed as
legal holiday.
If you are interested in beautiful
thought, beautifully expressed, read the
eulogy of Theodore Roosevelt, by Edith
Wharton, reprint of which appears in
column three of this page.
Now, that the Pierian Chautauqua
Circle has gathered within its folds so
many of our young (and old) Intellectuals
we are anticipating some very interesting
papers to place before our readers.
The third meeting of the present ses-
sion of the Pierian Chautauqua Circle was
held in the schoolroom last Sunday after
noon. The new administration has things
we'll in hand and the Circle is functioning
smoothly.
r. L. Halloween is the evening pre-
ceding All Saints Day; the evening of
October 81. In many places Halloween is
traditionally devoted to merry making,
and playful ceremonies; however, the
Silent City is the exception that proves
the rule.
The International horse race last Sat-
urday, between Papyrus, the British con-
tender, and Zev, the American horse, was
Won by the latter, defeating his opponent
by six lengths. Zev and My Own are to
race at Latonia, Kentucky, on November
3rd for the Worlds championship. Zev's
winnings to date amount to $254,936. If
he wins the Latonia race he will have
added $4,000 to his earnings, making
new high record for earnings of thorough
bred horses.
We feel highly Aattered over the
resolution (printed in our last issue) that
was passed by the Pierian Chautauqua
Circle in acknowledgment of THE MIR
RoR's feeble efforts in behalf of the Circle.
However, we take this means of thank
ing the Circle for the good wishes ex-
pressed, and to assure its members, both
individually and collectively, that we shall
ever in the future, as we have in the past,
continue to do all within our power to
assist the Circle and to help it in the good
work it is promulgating
Those of our inmates who missed
chapel service last Sunday, were unfor-
tunate indeed, as Rev. DR.. Lundeen,
Christian missionary, who has been doing
missionary work in China, occupied the
pulpit. DR.. Lundeen will be remembered
by many of our readers as being one of a
number of people who were held by
Chinese bandits for ransom. The papers
were full of the matter at the time of its
occurrence, about a year ago. 1t was not
until the combined pressure of Great
Britain, France, Sweden, Italy, and the
United States was brought to bear upon
the bandits that the hostages were re-
leased. DR.. Lundeen's account of his ex-
periences while in the hands of the bandits
was truly an interesting one. We are sin
cerely indebted to DR.. Lundeen for his
kindly consideration in coming here and
giving such a splendid talk.
