Some Suggestions About What to Take During the Coming Year.

Take this paper. Take comfort—if you can. Take things easy—within reason. Take the girl you love to be your wife. Take care of your health. It is the most valuable thing you have. Take a hint when it is intended for you. Don’t wait to be knocked down. Take flattery as an insult, and an honest compliment as something to be giateful for. Take pains to be faithful and conscientious in business. It will bring you success. \ Take offense only, at things worth being offended at. It is a sure evidence of a small mind to notice trifles. Take hold of any work that comes to your hand rather than be idle. Luck always waits upon the busy man. Take time to be polite and kind always. Rudeness never pays, the boor may think so but he is wrong. Take trouble like a man. Don’t go whining about when it comes, but shut your mouth and stand up under it resolutely. Take a trip now and then, and try to see something outside of the town you live in. Travel is one of the greatest of educators. Take pains to do your work well. The conscientious worker is the one who gets to the front—and the one that never needs be idle. Take care that you make this day a model for all the days to come—and then copy after it. Live this day so that it will bring you no regrets. Take time, young man, to go out with your sister. If she is a good girl she is much morg desirable company for you- than that other girl who flirts with you so desperately. Take tl\e sunshine into your life as something to be grateful for; don’t darken It with shadows of your ownmaking. Trouble will come soon enough without your coining it. Tak«f your wife and children with you when you go out to be amused. That is not a proper amusement for you that you cannot take your wife to—and you know it. Take as much care of your money as you can, if your means are limited; but don’t try to save your smiies or your kind words. The more liberal you are with these the more you will have.

Take .a walk—several of them. It is, beautiful to walk, and if it is a nice moonlight night and some man’s pretty daughter is hanging on your arm, it is especially healthful. Take time young woman to be kind to your brother—and go out with him when ha wishes you to do sa He is one of your best friends, sure. He will protect you always. Take time to be good to him. Take pains to hear both sides of a story before you come to a decision. Jumping at a conclusion, one time and another, has filled the world with enemies ahd deluged it in blood. Wait to hear both sides of a story before you speak. Take a wife if you are able to support a wife. It is every able bodied man’s duty to help some good woman through the world. Where would you be now if your father had not done this? Take heart, if you are cast down. Your luck will change ere the year is out. What .though the clouds da cover you now, the sun will shine by and by. No life is made up altogether of shadows, and God never yet wholly deserted a resolute man or a braVe woman. Fight on and victory will come at last. Take a rest if you are able to afford it. Rest is sweet and you don’t wear out while you are resting.

Instructions to School Enumerators Being Prepared by State Supt

Printed instructions to school enumerators, who will begin* the annual enumeration April 10, are being prepared by the state superintendent of public instruction to be sent to the county superintendents and trustees. The instructions differ from those in former years in that the state superintendent insists that the enumerators show in their returns the enumeration by congressional townships, in order that such enumeration may be mac& a basis for proper distribution by county auditors of the congressional school fund,, which, according to law, can be Attributed only among the schools congressional township to which the fund belongs. It has been the practice in a number ofcounties in recent years to place the congressional fund with the county fund, and to distribute it independently of the congressional township boundary lines. While It is often impossible to prevent an accident, it is never impossible to be prepared—lt is not beyond any one’s purse. Invest 25 cents in a bottle of Chamberlain’s Liniment and you are prepared for sprains, bruises and like Injuries. Sold by all dealers. c
