How Did Yoo Flunk?
Did you tackle tbe Exams that came your
way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from tbe light of day,
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, an exam's a ton or an exam's an ounce,
Or an exam Is what you make It;
And It Isn't the fact that you've flunked that
counts,
But only How did you take it?
Yon hare flunked right flat? Well, well,
wnat's tnair
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to flunk down flat,
But to lie there that's disgrace.
Tbe harder you've flunked, why, the higher
you'll bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
.It is the fact that you've flunked that counts,
But how did you flunk, and wbv?

A laugh, a walk,
A pile of talk,
A noisome person withal
'Tla thus a Freshman I recall.
A snub, a dash,
A Blight take that,
Conceit with little sense combined,
You'll find a sophomore In mind.
A giggle, a whirl.
Borne pretty girls,
A manner careless, gay and free
Herein a Junior one can see.
A head, a brain,

A creature who his value knows
As sucb a Senior well can pose.

The R. H. S. foot ball team went to
Clarion Saturday and met the strong

heavy team and it was hard for our
boys to make gains. - At the end of the
first half the score stood 0 0. The R.

beginning of the second half by pre
venting Clarion from scoring when they
had tbe ball on our three yard line.
Nolan kicked and Edelblute got tbe
ball; Normal held the H. S. for downs.
Then Clarion brought the ball down
between the 10 and 15 yard line; they
fumbled and Burns recovered the ball,
making an 85 yard run and taking the
ball within 4 yards of the goal. Cole

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
FOR PROTHONOTARY
In Jefferson' County Addresses an Open
Letter to the Voters.
The time draws near when you will
be called upon to make a selection from
among tbe different candidates for Pro-
thonotary who havo been from time to
time presenting their cfaim to you, that
tbey may be favored with your vote and
influonue at the coming election Novem
ber 3.
In justice to those whom I have not
had the pleasure to meet as well as In
juBtlce to myself, I deem it expedient
at this time to submit for your careful
attention a few reasons why I should
have fair treatment at your handsT
Somo of my Democratic friends put
ting my name on the ballot aud then
being so heartily endorsed by the
Democratic voters, I feel tbat a great
honor has been thrust upon me.
I was born and raised in Ringgold
township not in luxury, but vice versa,
My eobool opportunities being very
limited on acoount of hot having the
means to furnish me with books neces
sary for rapid advancement. Not being
satisfied with my education I borrowed
money sufficient to educate myself and
paid it back by bard wotk such as the
woods and saw mill could afford. My
college education was received at tbe
Central Pennsylvania College. Having
in reality educated myself I am such
as Senator Dolllver would heartily en'
dorse a self made man. Having spent
fifty months in teaching publlo school, I
have done as much for the future good
of the nation, as any other active
teacher can do in in tbe same time,
which is not a small amount.
All I ask is your consideration, am I
worthy of your support? If so give me
a square deal, and I will be content
with tbe result. Yours truly,
G.Calvin Mowery.

A young girl errs once and the doors
of human kindness and love are closed
against her. But we reach the betrayer

sacrifice our darling daughters to his
greed, for is it not sacrifice of love,
purity and everything worthy to wed
such a one? Does God ever smile on
such a union? If either be shunned,
why not betrayer of youth and inno

"Hawaiian Love Song."
In making mention of the Honolulu
3tudents, who will give the first enter
tainment on the High School lecture
course this season, Wednesday evening,
Octooer 21, the Hartford Courant, of
Hartford, Conn., says: "The hall was
crowded and the audience was enthusi
astic over the program given. The
men's voices made a bit with the
audience. They were clear, sweet and
barmonfeed beautifully. The duet
"Hawaiian Love Song" by Mrs.
Anehila and tbe baritone, William
Holoua, scored a tremendous hit, both
by reason of its musical and novel
character. The Btaee was arranged
for a moonlight scene and when the
two appeared in their white costumes,
the man a tall romantic, swarthy chap
with guitar and sash, the effect was
charming."
