The birds thnt left us | last full are coining hack again and the I sweet song- of blackbird, the robin and I the blue biril sound a weieome’lo spring. . For many weeks the little dandelions have , been pushing up their golden heads to J frighten the wayside grasses. The trees 1 in the orchards are white and < pink with | be ait i ''id blossoms where only a few I weeks ago dark brown, dead looking ■ branches waved mournfully in the win [ ter winds. So we see new life every- ■ where. When we wat h for the life , that s* emo 1 entirely gone in those dried. ! hard bulbs we planted weeks ago. we ; pander upon the mystery, for it does, : indeed, seem a mystery until we hoar j glad voices shouting. "All hail! the hoi. , ! holy Easter day." Easter day—what does .it tell us? It | tells ns why all those beautiful gift..

We should try and I make some one happy this beautiful Eas- I ter season. Some of us may have no | gifts to give to those around us, but we all have one gift that we can give.

Dear Junior Among all mental qualifi’attons which help on to success in life, there Is none which Is of more importance than self reliance. If you wish a thing well don”, (io it yourself, says tin old saw, 'and hence it comes that those who rely . most upon themselves for the aeeom . plislanent of any 'ini are tho-e who do tin- best work. "Heaven helps those who ■ h”lp themselves." The detei initiation to be one's helper is the set ret of Hits tn dividii.il d v.lopment and strength. No gi.’.iier misfortune could befall an ambl- ti, is .md able v oung man than a legacy. The man who dares to think for himself : nd net intl’-l'endently is the one that 1s a service to his race. The daily experi ence shows that it is self reliance which j produces the most powerful effects upon th.- life and action of others, and really cons;it ut. s the best jiraetical education. Decision of self-reliance enables one to do the right thing at the right t'me. There is a tide in tiie affairs of n:en., vvhi ii. taken at the Hood. Lads on to fortune The -pirlt of self help is the root of all genuine grow lit in the indi vidual. and exhibited in the lives of tn.inv, it constitutes tlie true source of national vigor and strength.

I will speak a few words on "Odd moments and the value that can be derived from them." Cousins, how many of us spend our odd moments to ad vantage? All of us should devote a part of our time, at least, to reading or studying something that will improve and elevate our minds. Every l>".v and girl should have a purpose in life, and should strive to make something out of that purpose. There are so many that seem to have no purpose in Ilf. and who vvlili'- away th”ir time in idleness. Those of u. who do not have the advantages of the schools and colleges should try anil do something by our own efforts, there by showing others that we have the "grit" to h”lp ourselves. There is a great many schools that give mail instructions on almost an;, subject we wish to study for a small sum. Os course, this is no; like attending a school persona 11'. . but om- can de-Ive much knowledge this way if they will apply themselves. I am at present taking a mail course in short hand. and find it to be an Int resting study. If one will bring shorthand com plctei.v und”r their control they <■lll al ways find profitable employment, but it rcf|tdros much patient study to accom plish this, if nothing prevents me 1 will finish in July. I only studv at night, after the day's work is over and other odd times. One does not feel much like studying after plowing all day. but this is tli” only chance. If .inv of th” c uixins ar” interested in shorthand and will write me I will give them th” address of a good school. Alma, Hixon.
