CHAPTER XVII.
The Frieuda.

Allied in fortunes as they had been
in friendship, Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark went on side by side
in their new 1abors in the capital OF
that great land which they had won
for the republic. Their offices in title
were distinct, yet scarcely so in fact
for each helped the other, as they had
always done.
To these two men the new territroy
of Louisiana owed not only its dis
covery, but it's early passing over to
the day of law and order. No other
men could have done what they did

FIREMEN.S ANNUAL BALL
ONE SPLENDID SUCCESS

The annual ball given by the Fire
men last Friday night at La Veta
hotel, was a success, both socially and
financially. The ball room was gay
with red, white and blue bunting, in
honor of the anniversary of the faith
er of his country, whose birthday was
being celebrated. Miller's orchestra
furnished the music andthe High
School Alumni served a fine lunch at
midnight. The crowd was almost too
big for comfort on the ball room floor,
but their presence testified to the
popularity Of our FIRE boys and the
willingness of people to help a good
thing along. The proceeds will be
used toward improving the fire de-
partment, particularly toward purch-
asing larger chassis for the fire
truck. The net proceeds figure up
S215, which is the most successful
function Of the kind ever held here.
The committee is correspondingly
grateful to the citizens who gave such
generous support.

ON LIFE AND LOVE

(By Marccline D'Alroy)
LIFE is very likeable game
II you know how to play.
Everybody should understand,
The rules and play FAIR,
For you can't CHEAT Life.
And although you never
ASKED to live,
You are forced to play
Whether you will or not,
So the BEST way
Is to look Life in the face
And recognize her
As difficult, HARD,
But somehow-JUST,
And make her RESPECT you.
By standing up to her
And saying, with q smile:
"You can't beat ME
Unless l LET you
But I'll be darned FIRST"
But though Life is hard,
LOVE is harder
For there are NO rules
And you can't stand up to it.
You just FALL
In love and out
And in AGAIN.
To be in love is BAD;
Not to be-is WORSE.

Dear Public:
When your eyes need attention,
ask yourself this question. What man
within reach of me is best qualified
to examine my eyes?
My inducement to you is this: do
NOT ask you to read letters on a
chart across the room and PICK OUT
YOUR OWN GLASSES. l examine
the interior of your eyes and deter
mine by my own skill what lenses are
required to correct your trouble. This
is the highest degree of skill known to
the optical world and you folks, par
ticularly whose eyes are hard to fit,
will find that my work will satisfy.
l will demonstrate without charge.
