Basket ball practice is beginning to take a regular place in the recess pro­ gram. Sopt. Rice attended the superintend­ ents' and principal)*' meeting at Wood­ stock Saturday. The boys are planning a rational means for raising money to meet a pos­ sible balance of expenses for the basket ball team. The piano was hailed with joy on Monday morning.

A meeting of the teachers discussed the subject of arithmetic work in the school and began some plans for its bet- terment* The next one discusses writ­ ing and drawing. Lkim Baefc. This is an ailment for which Cham­ berlain's Pain Balm has proven espe­ cially valuable. In almost every in­ stance it affords prompt and permanent relief.

"The average man vlieu he Is a boy," n trifle Involvedly ruminated the old codger, "decides tliat when he grows up he will be a drum major or a pandit, triumphantly survive battles, shipwrecks and holocausts and gal­ lantly protect innocence and beauty in distress. But the average boy wheu he becomes a man tiiuls himself so busy satisfying the appetite of the always hungry mortgage, endeavoring to achieve but never attaining the emi­ nence of beiug the head of his own household, chasing at the earnest so­ licitation of his many friemU the po­ litical prominence which forever eludes him, selecting the particular brand of health fodder that will injure him the least, running alter or away from something or other, getting off a few evade that which is justly coming to him, placating his wife's relatives, ac­ cumulating baldness, pointing with pride or viewing with alarm, and su on and so forth, that before h4 has time to be anything more protuberant than one of the ciphers of the millions that inhabit this laud of the free his men friends are walking slow behind him and saying that Bill was a pretty good feller, but--and his women friends are chastenedwondering how soon the widow will marry again. That's all there Is to the average man."--Puck. One W«rd'« Meanings. English is a most remarkable- lan­ guage. It has'some peculiarities of an extraordinarily rich vocabulary and others of the poorest and most barren tongue, separate words for minute dis­ tinctions and single words that have many meanings. Many examples of both peculiarities can be found in the Dialect Dictionary, an KngJish publi­ cation. Every farmer's l;oy knows how to use the words lamb, sheep, ewe and ram, L»ut how many of them would be able to define ^he words tag, tup-hog, teaser, tup-seg, tup-yeld and six tooth, each of which fixes the age or the sex of a sheep? For example, a tup-hog is a young ram before the first shearing. On the other hand, take the word rack. As used by people in one part of England or another It may mean a neck of lmitton, the bones of a dead horse, a blow, a sharp pain, a kitchen fireplace, part of a hanc^ loom, a reach in a river, a ford, a pathway-, a rut, a gap in a hedge, a flying cloud, to pour off liquor, to stack. These are the unusual meanings, and there are others more common.--Youth's Companion. The Dime. That neat and lovable little coin, the dime, has had a most useful history. As far as we are aware, it is unique among the world's coins, having no nearer equivalent than the English six­ pence, which is worth 2 cents more. It Is one of the handiest of coins, being about as small as a silver pldce can conveniently be. Being less in size and weight than the nickel, which Is worth only half as much, it is vastly more convenient to keep and hoard, and that Is one reason why it Is becoming ex­ traordinarily scarce in spite of the fact that more dimes are now turned out of the mints thau ever before In the (country's history. There is a rage for "dime banks," and some of these mechanical contrivances are so pretty, so ingenious and so alluring that they force people to save dimes who have no earthly occasion to do so.--New York Mail. The Great Lskc Cities. Chicago, Cleveland, ^Buffalo, Detroit and Milwaukee, with Duluth and Su­ perior thrown in at the head of the greatest lake and many thriving ports on Lake Erie added, are a unique sec­ tion of the urban life of Anierica.- Their rate of growth is the highest maintained in any group of cities. Their death rate is phenomenally low. T^eir proportion of home owners is extraordinary. Their totals and gains in savings bank deposits are almost unparalleled. They are handsome cities as a group, full of enterprise und active ity, fairly eloquent with the spirit of prosperity and progress. -- Cleveland Leadei% Very l.ow Excursion Rate* t* Memphis, Tenn., Via tbe North-Western Line.
