No Mundane Thoughts
for the Sabbath Day

The gloomy and repressivs observ-
ance Of the Sabbath that remained
long from the days Of the Puritan
has largely died out In America. Peo-
pie no longer believe that happiness
on Sunday Is sin. In parts Of Scot
land, however, the sterner view still
holds.
William MacCallum lived with his
family on a farm several miles from
the village. On Sunday he was wont
to stride with his long-legged son,
James, over the four miles Of road
to the kirk. The rest Of the family
followed In the cart.
One Sunday-an unusually fine Sun.
day, when the air was filed with the
strength of the hill breezes-William
and James were swinging gravely
along on their way to the kirk. For
three miles their mouths were shut In
solemn silence.

1t is a rare thing that an interest

Of the press, but recently such an

the river Of the empire, enjoyed a

The Artists AEbi

The teacher had spent nearly an
hour on the drawing lesson that morn
ing. Explaining the reason for every
line, she had painstakingly drawn a
dog on the black board. Then, after
talking with the children about dogs
they had seen, they were told to draw
one.
The little folks got busy with their
pencils at once, and the teacher began
to walk around the room examining
the work. She stopped beside little
boy whose drawing resembled any
thing but dog, and she said: ALBERT,
what is thatH 1t looks like a boy. I
asked you to draw dog"
"Well," replied the boy, that's the

Learn One Word q Week

Our new word this week is "cuncta-

Cd with this word, although 1t is right
there in all the good dictionaries.

buking pupil who is habitually late
to school, may properly say to said
pupil: 1T grievss me to find that you
are falling into habit Of cunctation."
Another way to put 1t is: ''Of late

First Atlantic Cable

In July, 1885, the first permanent
Atlantic cable was laid from Valentia
bay, Ireland, to Trinity bay, New
foundland, and in September of the
same year a cable that had been lost
in 1855 was recovered and it's laying
completed. These lines were known
as the Anglo-American cable, and
were managed by company of the
same name. Messages are transmitted
by submarine cable by means of cleo
trio currents in much the same way as
messages are transmitted by land tele-
graph lines, but the sending and re-
ceiving instruments of the cable are
more delicate and more complicated.

CARDINAL And
WHITES REBUILT
BY STOCKTON
COACH STOCKTON REMODELs
TEAM FOR NEXT FRIDAYS
GAME; "LALLY" SCHMID OUT
OF GAME FOR ALL SEASON.

Coach Stockton has been driving
his SQUAD through hard scrin1mages
each evening for the past week and
was just beginning to get some sur
prising results when along came old
lady "Hard Luck" which caused an
entire change in his backfield. With
"Lally" Schmid worked in as quarter
and incidently the fastest backfield
man Stockton had, the prospects for
a good fast plunging backfield were
complete. At the time everything
looked bright the Sunday nights
wreck spoiled all of Coach Stockton's
plans. .sLally' will be out of foot
ball all season with broken bone in
his left ankle; however, he will be
able to play basketball.
With Willis Starr, who has been as
signed to the regular center berth,
out Of the game also, it leaves Stock
ton in a critical position with only a
few days before the first game. How
ever, in the meantime, "Ish" Juene-
man has been calling signals from
fullback position with Arnett and
Daily as halls and Peterson filling
in the vacated quarters position.
Monday night Coach Stockton looked
over the squad for center and final
ly decided that the position could be
filled by either Meiges or Garnhardt
with Garnhardt drawing the prefer
ence.
The probable lineup to be used
against Olivia in the first game OF
the season to be played at Olivia Fri
day, October LIST, will be Kramer at
left end; Wallin, left tackle; Lee
Wallin, left guard; Melges or earn
hardt at center; Garnhardt or Camp
bell, right guard; Brewster, right
tackle, and Jensen at the right end
position. The backfield will prob
ably be Jueneman at fullback, calling
signals from that position, with Ar
nett and Daily as halls and Peterson
at quarter. In the effort to find the
right men for the right places at the
last minute, the Olivia game, in
all probability will bring out new
material as Coach Stockton will give
all the men chance.
