A GARDEN
A little garden is the sign
That man believes in God above
And for the lovely things and fine
Hub room within his heart for love
1 never sec a paiiry bed
Or rose in blossom in a yard
A tulip with a yellow head,
Put that house kindly I regard
1 here dwells a man i t l: myself
Who trains a summer vine to cnrnb,
Despite the age s strife for pelf
Vor- beauty here be still has time
let cynics sneer tha men are base
> and sordid seekers after gold
A little garden jg the place
Where man's affections we behold.
A little garden bright with bloom
With all the hiauly that it. bring}*.
Is proof that someone's heart has
room
To cherish nature's lovely things.

WHY WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE
ATHLETICS IN COMER HIGH
SCHOOL
!u the development of a healthy
body And an active mind a certain
amount of reo.cation in the way of
athletics is necessary, yet we students
never forget our duty, or the
I purpose for which we entered school.
■ R e roqui. ed for nil of us to main
|‘dn a reasonable stand ad of class
i rr.-oia work fcefo e being permitted |
jto have a place on the team. Ali ;
athletic exerises are unde - the cere- !
fid supervision of Mr. Lancaster!
j
who has had special training in that j
wo. r Since the chef aim of nth let- i
ics is to develop mainly traits of ,
character in those participating all i
games and other contests must be •
conducted in the "jA it. of true
'Pm-tn>aiiphip. ' ' *
Every business man of to-day will |
tell you that good health and strength I
a'.e among the highest of personal !
assets, and will admit that a sound i
mind and body are essential to sue- j
'.ci.'- m any line of business!.
Persons, possessing sound minds J
but having weak bodies face the !
world in this day like a ship without |
J rudder. Participating Ui clean 1
•-ports w;ll iievclop quick thinking,
quick action, and a se?’i®o of fair !
piay. It will cause one to
. :t“ fhe value of healthy living,
Many a young man has gone thru j
'college who otherwise would not have j
been able to do had he not pos
i.'-ed the Hifil and abiliiy to make
a position on some team. Some
Would perhaps .say that he is n good
athlete because he is gifted that way;
but it is not ti. up, no one is capable
;-f playing a good game withoiut
first keeping his body in a healthy
condition and keeping in train
ing.
No team can win alone, no coach
is able to put out a winning team ox
vepr when the feeling of confidence,
co-operation and sincerity exists a
m.jng every one concerned.
M e hope, Come.', that you may be
j c\en proud of our team tbo’ we suffer
; some defeats, for above victory we
| shall place always the highest sense
| of honor, condemning anything which
i may come in competition with it.
Me thank you for the support /.>"
gave ns last term and we assure you
|we shall appreciate your loyalty to
us this term.

MY FIRST AND LAST CIGAR*
("♦-* copying some of the work
of the pupils of 1905)
Hndia-ha. my first cljra.
\\ns like a dose of pin.* and tar.
It was the first T had over t ied.
Am! after I had smoked I liked t
have died.
Ip over the branch on a hi.. deek
lop,
I s ;:t up there like a bijr toad free.
1 pin Ft 1 and blew that clear smoke.
I’ntil it seemed as if [ would almost
choke. >
My head began to turn round and
round.
i berar to slip and went on down.

1 was so everlasting drunk,
I wailed rr.y eyes and under l sunk -
i rose to the top an J rubbed my face
As if though I had fallen iron; gs ace.
I got out of that hole on the bank,
And looked back dotfn where I sank.
1 was as muddy and wet as tx diownd
ed hen,
There was nothing to be done but
crack a grin.
t at a h big apple to keep from being
sick, i
And before I could turn around
<„1 turned mighty quick)
My neck was caught with an awful
crick.
And if all these folks that eve’ use,
This lillrhy stuff whenever the choose,
Would only listen to my advice,
They would quit tobacco at a very
email p.jce.
