COUSIN HELEN'S LETTER

Dear Juniors: , Yesterday was a day of graduation for you, at least for most of you. Little folks left "their play and will start their first kindergar ten days. Kindergarten boys and girls start into school grades. The grade pupils passed Into higher grades, some going into Junior High school. The Junior High school graduates passed Into Mor toh High school. . So all along the line there has been a step taken, a very important one. To this graduation period we give the name commencement ex ercises. It is well named. You are all commencing something new. liven though the High school graduates may feel their step is the most important, it is just the same that each one of you is taking. You have launched out on a new cruise. There are new worlds to be conquered. You are ship and crew in one. With Truth for a captain, and Courage for a mate, you have a steady crew. Your vessel, you have been building it during the yearsr.of your school life, Is a fit one, I am sure. You have had help in your ship building, because we can not do that alone. As in the verse: ".Build me master! straight, O worthy goodly Staunch und vessel, strong, That shall laugh And with wave wrestle." at all disaster and whirlwind With this equipment you set sail. These new lands will be strange ones, Juniors. I know how it feels to go into strange surround ings. One feels dreadfully alone Everybody seems so intent on their own business, they forget the newcomers. It has a thrill in it and yet it also brings shaky knees. I would like to go with each one of you, and try to help you feel less strango on Monday. Since I can be at only one place at a time, I must forego that pleasure, but, little friends, I will surely be thinking hard of you all and be wishing you luck. , Tins strangeness, will very soon! wear off, and you will be so happy with your new course. Each change makes the next one just that much easier. And with it comes the feeling of pride that you have climbed one step higher. A new field of thought is opened to you, which holds worlds of pleasure and study. It is all really a great ad Picture Puzzle VYjIAT ANADIAnTPrOVINCE IS THIS? 2 Answer to this will appear la next week's Junior. Answer to last week's puzzle: "Rip Van Winkle."

venture, if one would only believe it to be, and make it so. r Have you boys ever wished you could sail the high seas and discover new lands and conquer new peoples? That is a needless question, for I am sure you have wished it many times. You have the spirit of adventure in your hearts, all of you have, and so use it on this new conquest, and prepare yourselves for some great conquest in this world. I hope none' of you are stopping your school work, because you happen to be'of the age that permits it. I wish I could say the magic word that would urge you to go on and on with your study. There are some folks who still say that too much learning hurts one; they are very poorly informed folks and are to be pitied. They do a great ideal of harm in this world, discouraging boys and girls who do not see the urgent need of getting all the schooling available. Rear this in mind, Juniors: the "more schooling you get, the more ..you are benefitted, and more (if the desiruble things of this world will be within your power to obtain. I am sending congratulations to all of you at this graduation time, and I wish you success during the whole new term ahead. Sincerely, COUSIN HELEN.

Sometime ago the Starr Tiano company offered to give some old pianos and organs to any one willing to pay the drayage for delivering. Mr. Maddy, seeing the opportunity for putting musical instruments In the homes unable to pay for them, paid the drayage on the last three instruments and placed them in homes. The children profiting by thess gifts were given free piano lessons at school, and as long as they prove themselves interested in music, and worthy of the gift, they will he permitted to keep the instruments. Weisbrod's and the Starr Tiano companies have consented to allow Mr. Maddy all the old instruments that they can afford to give away on the same terms. This will give many children in the city a musical opportunity.

MULE vs. BEAK A Lively Fight The people who live in the vicinity of Bednesti, B. C, are telling a very amusing bear-story.. Near this city lives a man who owns a mule whose reputation as a "kicker" is almost as great as the famous "Maud" of funny page renown. Only last week Maud was calmly pasturing in a field when ot from a ner by woods came a big bear. This bear was running blindly from a forest fire. In crossing the field in which Maud was eating, the bear collided with Maud. This unwished-for liberty on the part of the bear so enraged the mule that she kicked the bear flat on the ground. The bear, evi dently surprised at the assault, arose and in a spirit of retaliation' attacked the mule and succeeded in giving the mule a resounding smack on the flank. The mule then brought her heels again into t play, and gave Mr. Bruin such a terrible kicking that, in a dazed condition, he fled back to the safer and tamer forest, which although on fire, held no angry mules.
