In these bright days of life’s morn we are laying the foundation of a character which must survive for all eternity. A character which will make us to be respect ed as persons of integrity and steadfastness, or dreaded as the hooded serpent of Egypt. Laying the foundation upon which will bo erected a life of usefulness, honor arid glory—a blessing to itself and nil with whom it comes in contact. These are the days above all oth ers when we should apply our selves diligently to the improve ment of our minds. The halcyon days of youth will soon lie past never to he recalled, and the re sponsibilities of life will soon lie crowded upon us. Will wo be prepared? The hoys of today will one day he the men who must gov ern this nation. Whether they be prepared to take the helm when their fathers desert the ship of state rests solely with them. They alone can fit themselves for guid ing the grand old ship over the bounding billows of time, steering 1 clear of rocks and sand-bars; and if they arc not such as they should be, soon in tho dizzy whirl of the maelstrom that ship must sink forever. Whatever they desire to make themselves, that they can be. But only by untiring, persevering effort can they hope to -attain to heights of honor and fame. The hill of science is rugged, and only those who arc determined reach the summit. At all remembering: “The heights by great men renehed and kept Were not attained by sudden iliglit; But they while others dreamed or slept, Were toiling upward in the night.” Though at times the way appears gloomy, yet we remember that by and by the clouds will roll away, and then our pathway will be illumined by the silvery light of success. Let 11s not become daz zled or disheartened when gazing at the hero standing on the top most round of the ladder of fame, but remember that once he was standing at the foot of the ladder, and that he climbed round after round to the high position I10 now occupies. Life is so full of duties. There is something for each one to do, but our part in this grand drama is quickly acted. Let us then appreciate our school days knowing that, “Whatsoever we sow we also reap.” Let us ever strive after the good, the noble, the true, following in tho footsteps of those who “On Fame’s eternal camping ground Their silent tents have spread."

The commissioner of the gener al land office, Washington, am Bounces that at 9 o’clock on the morning of November 15th the government will throw open 760,000 acres of agricultural land in the Chippewa reservation, m Minnesota. lt : as much as 50 per cent of this land is usable for ag ricultural purposes, hero is farm land for nearly 8,000 families, with 20 fertile acres each, or 16,- 000 families with 25 acres. This means a poptil ttion of about 70,- 000 persons. h strikes us that 1 here is small excuse for idleness and “vagrancy” when, for the price of a colonist ticket, anyone can become a landed proprietor in this exceedingly fertile region.— Ex. Most men call back to their boy hood days and remember the time when they dreamed of becoming Napoleons, or Washingtons or great financiers or great authors in tho far future, remarks an ex change. We knew wo had ro- markable talents and when thoy should be developed they would make great men of 11s and wo would be remembered among the intellectual giants of tho age. It was a day dream, which few of us ever realize. When we arrived on the shady side of forty wo found ourselves numbered with the great mass known us ordinary men. The re markable boy, who was sure ho would become a Napolean or u president of the United States, settles down to become a good book keeper, or a bank clerk or a farmer, lie may be a very useful nnd honorable man in his calling, but he is only an “ordinary man.” But, after all, what would tho world do if we were all Napoleuns or millionaires? If ?ve were all Vanderbilts or Rockefellers what would Vanderbilt do for men to keep his books, or Engineers to run his trains? Ordinary men, after all, are very necessary, and the world can not get along without them. As a rule, the ordinary men are the best husbands and fathers and most faithful in their duties to their church. Napoleons and Vanderbilts live so much in tha eye of the world and have so many great undertakings they do not get time to enjoy their family life and they forget their religious duties. It is a blessing to the world, therefore, the most men are or dinary men. Tho good, honest, intelligent, ordinary men are tho bone sinew of the nation. The so-called middle class, those who are neither rich nor very poor, the intelligent, industrious business men, mechanics and farmers, they constitute the bulwark of the na tion. There is a better ambition, therefore, than to be great or rich as Charles Kingsley has so beauti fully said, “Be good, my dear, and let who will be clever, Do noble things, don’t dream them all day long, Then will life, death and the vast forever Be ouc sweet song.” John Huff, Ordinary.
