SUCCESS OP EDUCATION.

There

tbe boys and girls to
«chool. They may be, some day, noble men and women. Boys and girls, this may be your last year of school. Then you may close your books never to open them again. And tbe great world will open before you and you may have to fight the battle of life by your self. When 3-011 are in school tbe lessons may seem hard but the lessons of the world may be much harder for you. When the lessons on the yellow pages are learned they are not the only ones that fall upon you. ^.They are to exercise and strengthen $he mind, for which there will be still "harder Lessons to learn in future years. Your future success depends •upon how mucb energy and ambition you expend upon the tasks that are :to be done.
If a child is bidden to do some little task and he says, "wait a minute," and keeps putting off duties that are required of him, he will finally grow into the habit of negligence, never ready to accept an opportunity for prompt action and finally he will become a careless man. He will let opportunities pass, because he has never learned to do promptly and •earnestly what is asked of him. 1
We often have bad luck and are •^wondering and complaining of the bad luck. We should consider this and ask ourselves if we are doing the best we can to make a success in life and to nobly fight the battles that come before us and faithfully. peform the duties incumbent upon us. Success of the real kind always depends on the man who determines to win, not on the conditions nor

If your hands are tied by an indo-iV,play lent habit you cannot reach success^ because your habit of putting off or doing poorly what should be done® well controlls you. We should do our work so well that we cannot be kept back. $
Men who employ laborers are looking for the best, and that standard can only be reached through earnestwork and doing promptly and well what is given us to do. The habit of instant obedience and prompt execution is worth more than money to the one who hopes to win in the toilers field of this world. 000000 /COINING MONEY.
An Irishman had received employment as a freight brakeman upon a railroad in a mountainous section of Pennsylvania and was to receive so many cents each mile he traveled. Upon or\e of his first trips the engineer lost control of his train and at a dangerous rate it was speeding down the steep grades. Suddenly the con-" ductor saw his Irish companion standing np a ew cars ahead. "Dou'i jump," he shouted. "And 06 you think I'd be after jumpin' when I'm makin' money as, fast as I am now?"

PER WEEK.
A VERY SHORT LESSON.
"O, dear!" whined James "I just hate to do errands. Does Sarah need the sugar right away?" 'Right away," said mamma. "She is baking doughnuts, and wants the powdered sugar to roll them in while they are warm. Run dear, and get it as soon as you can." 1 "When I get big I'll never do a thing that I don't want to do," said
James, when he was back to his once more. "It seems little boys have to do all the mean jobs and it isn't fair." ."But you like doughnuts so well," sa^id mamma. "Sarah does so many nice things for you that I should think you would like to do errands for her once in a while. Do you think you would be happier if you only did the things you enjoy?" "Course," said James promptly "I'd like to try that way for awhile." "Well, suppose you do this week. We'll all do just the things we like, and see if we get along better. I think you will be ready to go back to the old way before supper time, though." "Indeed I won't, mamma. That is the best thing you could say, for I want to play in the sand-pile all day at my fort, without having to do a single thing. Are you sure you mean
"Perfectly certain, James. We will wait till you are ready to go back to the old way, if it is a month." 4 -"Nothing but bread and butter for dinner!" said James in great surprise •*"I'm as hungry as anything." "I told Sarah to get some other things," said mamma, buttering a slice of bread for herself, "but she said she wanted to finish canning
THE NEW YEARS BILL.
Next Week at the Grand Opera House, Indianapolis.
"'The new year will start ©ff at the Grand in auspicious fashion, the program being" one of the best of the season at this theater. The headline act will be the Spook Minstrels, the biggest attraction booked for the Grand since the Fadettes Orchestra. The Spook Minstrels is considered one of the genuine novelties of the'present vaude~ ville season. It is one of the most expensive and spectacular musical aces ever put together, and is replete with interesting and amusing features. All of the familiar things that make minstrelsy so popular will be found in the production, as well as many new ideas that lend to the act an additional distinction. Vocal and instrumental music forms an important factor, naturally, with plenty of excellent fun-making on the part of the burnt cork comedians who occupy the "end seats'' in the musical semi-circle. Ballad singing and comic songs, vocal choruses and tuneful instrumental numbers will hold sway, with a surprise at the finish thaf works up an audience to enthusiasm.
Another big act on~ the bill will be the wonderful acrobatic exhibition of La Belle Carmen's troup^ of gymnasts from the London Hippodrome. It has been said of the Carmen troupe that their gymnastic work begins where the efforts of their rivals leaves off, and a sensational exhibition may be expected. Callihan and Mack,the witty Irish comedians, will be seen in their latest sketch, which has been scoring a bit everywhere this season. These merry-makers are well and favorably known in Indianapolis.
Sulliv'an and Pasquelena, a a pair ©f noted character delineators, will contribute an interesting study of New York life, and Kherns and Cole, the German, comedians, will offer an amusing comedy entitled "The Baron," written for them by Alf Hampton. Vinie De Witt,
an expert musician, whose cornet playing is said to be of the highest class, will be an important participant in the pro gram, as will also the Freydo Brothers, English comedy acrobats, and the Rooney sisters, in a novel specialty. The bioscope will round out the performance with an entertaining series of new motion pictures.

"This is the afternoon of the party, mamma," said James, watching tbe hands of the clock drag slowly around to three He thought tjiat surely he would get something 'besides bread and butter at the party, and he was so hungry! When he asked Sarah for a doughnut in the kitchen she was too busy to do more than complain because he bothered her. 1

"Is that so?" asked mamma, without looking up from her book. "When will you get me ready, mamma?" went on James, as the big hand moved a little farther. ..'„Tm afraid I'll be late "I don't want to stop reading," said mamma. "I thought we were to do only the things" we liked today, and I don't like to leave this comfortable chair."
James went slowly to his room and began to put on his new suit by himself, but everything weat wrong. A button came off, and he couldn't find his shoes, and his hands looked dirty in spite of all his efforts, and the first thing anybody knew the big tears were rolling down his cheeks. "I want to go back to the old way, mamma," he sobbed, throwing himself down on the floor by her side. "I didn't know how horrid it was to be selfish until today." "Are you sure?" asked mamma, lifting the little head from her lap to look straight into the tearful eyes "Do you want to do the hard jobs along with the easy ones?"-

Then she told him a story: "When I was a little girl, Joe, my father had a great flock of sheep^ They were queer things. Where onewent, all the rest followed. One day a big one found a gap in tbe fence and he jumped through and tumbled t© tho bottom of an old dry well. Tbe next sheep jumped ^right after, and so on, although father tried to drive them back. But they kept on until the well was full. Then father had to pull them out as best he could, and the sheep at the bottom, of the well were almost smothered to death." "My, what silly fellows!" exclaimed Joe. Then he looked up at hi& aunt and laughed.
