Success and Failure Every human being Is more or less desirous of achieving success. It matters not how evil a life may be there is a time that a wish arises . for "Something better than they have known." As we know, in anything there iB one of two results, namely success and failure. The latter needs no explanation, except that it is the opposite of the former. It must be remembered that those who go the successful road are traveling the road of difficulty and discouragements. Rut regardless of all obstacles it is a consolation to know: "Since all that I meet shall work for good, The bitter is sweet, the medicine food. Though painful at present, 'twill cease before loin, And then O how pleasant the conqueror's song." The successful life must be willing to take what comes. Whether It is to "conquer the earth like Caesar or to fall down and kiss It like Brutus." It 13 like a person in a crowd that is rushing for a gate he must hold his ground and push forward. If seemingly no honor comes, bo much the better, for more than one life has been a failure all because of seeking "honor. Success never comes to an individual, but he must go after It. A certain writer has said, "He that would win success in life must make Perseverance his bosom friend, Experience his wise counselor, Caution his elder brother, and Hope his guardian genius." I say that the young life that takes these guides as its interpretor

of the road need not fear failure; but

"He who from zone to zone, Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight In the long way that I must alone trend, Will lead my steps aright."

can in his or her heart say:

THE MOON PRINCE Once there were several knights who loved a prince .One time as they were out enjoying themselves the prince told them that he wanted to be alone. After the knights had gone the prince rode on and on. Now this prince had no name, he had always gone by the name of prince. He was riding along the road when he heard a voice say, "I will tell your name." He looked up and saw a beautiful girl with curly brown hair. She had on a beautiful dress mingled with stars. She said, "My name is Moon Princess." She then told him how she got such a name. She said that as she was passing through this same place an old woman told her that her name was Moon Princess. She also gave her the power to name any one having no name. . The prince said, "Please tell me your right name." She said, "My right name is Caroline." The prince wanted his name to be Samuel. He asked Caroline's hand in marriage. She told him that she would have to ask her god-mother. The god-bother consented and the two young people were married and lived happily ever after. LEOTO HOSBROOK. How to Help Win the War I can help win the war by not buying so much candy; every time we go to the store to buy candy we should think of the French boys and girls and say to ourselves, "I am not going to buy candy; I am going to save the sugar for the French children. 1 will not eat much candy so that I can save the sugar." We can help win the war by saving the sugar for the soldiers. We can save by eating all the food we put on our plates. The e food that we save for the soldiers would give them more strength so they could fight better and win the war. I can help the Allies by not eating so much sugar on my bread. We should eat corn bread and bran bread and save the white bread for the soldiers. I can do my bit by not eating white bread or so much sugar. KATHLEEN BISHOP, 6-B Grade, Sevastopol School.

Credit is given to the Kiltie band of Scotch bagpipers for a large number of the recruits, for all hearts are thrilled by the Highland quicksteps they have played in parades and at mass meetings. In war time the pibroch stirs a Scot as nothing else can do and Pipe Major Kay and his men have led thousands to the recruiting depot. The pipers are enlisted men of the 42nd Highlanders.

How to Catch Monkeys When I was on the Bahama Islands, I saw how they caught monkeys. First they take forbaow as the men call it, a narcotic, and sugar it. Then they go out in the forest and get some cocoanuts. They chop off a piece at the top of each one and put in the forbaow and sugar. Then they take glue and pasto the top again. The men then hide. Now a monkey always takes a cocoanut off the ground when he can. So the monkey comes up, east the forbaow and goes to sleep. The men then throw the nets over them and carry them away while they sleep.
