William Shuck, clerk of School District No. 28, across Salmon river from the mouth of White- bird creek, was in Grangeville this week arranging for building a $2000 school house. The district received no bid for erec- tion of the building. The trus- tees have decided to purchase the material and hire the work done. It is expected to have the new school house ready for use this fall. Dr. William MacNeill, who left Grangeville more than a year ago to enter the army, returned Wednesday night, and is arrang- ing to resume the practice of dentistry here. His office will be in the suite he formerly oc- cupied in the Grangeville Sav- ings and Trust building. Dr. MacNeill spent nine months in France, during which time he was engaged in actual fighting. Their entire camp outfit burn- ed by forest fires, and escaping with their lives only by fleeing to a nearby stream, in which they submerged their bodies and held wet blankets over their heads, members of a fire-fight- ing crew, headed by George D. Smith of Grangeville, had a thrilling experience this week in the Johns creek section, on the South Fork of the Clearwater. It is reported that of the camp equipment, nothing was saved but canned food, which was thrown into the stream.

The best work !s done by the lazy people who want to get through and rest. The industrious, active body, busy as a bee, and always at it, ig very li- able to become a putterer. Mark Twain called attention to the fact that the ant, to whom the sage recommended the sluggard to go. spends most of his energy In running around like a drunken Indian. The great humorist hated to move; he used to give the boy in the print- ing office a nickel to sweep around him, so that he would not have to take his feet off the table, At seventy he confessed that “all exercise is loath- some.” “ Laziness is not good in itself; but when joified to conscientiousness and a sense of responsibility, as it often is, it is the very best worker. The world’s work !s done by those who do not like {t. Nine persons out of ten would quit what they are do- Ing if they could. At the very beginning of Arnold Rennett’s novel, “Hilda Lessways,” is a luminous bit of philosophy: “Hilda hated domestile work, and Recause she hated It she often did It passionately and thoroughly.” Mark Twain hated to write—Dr. Frank Crane, in Farm Life. MUST CONCENTRATE TO WIN Though Thorough Absorption May Be Carried Too Far, It Is Necessary to Success, There ts always danger, when any. one concentrates, that the concentra tton will be carried too far—so far that it produces a narrow, one-sided and warped point of view. The great scientist, the great scholar, the great thinker {n any line is usually not an all-around “good fellow.” “Crabbed,” “queer,” “peculiar,” “odd,” “funny” and “warped”—are these not the ad geniuses of the world?) The very ef- fort to concentrate on the one sub- ject which has brought success has made it impossible to keep in touch with the thousand-and-one currents of thought and topics of conversation which go to make up comfortable and easy-going life. Like the old sea cap- tain, these geniuses miss something In their effort to flx their attention on one thing. In spite of this danger, it {s a good thing to work for concentration, The likelihood of becoming one-sided ts big where genius is concerned, but then it can be excused. safely concentrate our attention and touch with the world about us, Need for Eternal Vigilance. our habits make us,” sald an unknown sage. In other words, what we are | at this moment, what we can do at this | moment, depends not only upon toak- but also upon how we have made up our minds countless other times in thousands of minutes already gone by and now out of our control, The one thing we cannot control is the past; it may, however, control us for good or for evil. remember in forming habits is that our minds and hearts are the meeting ground of strange conflicts; that good and bad in us are making opposite suggestions; that each is striving for the mastery; and that sometimes we are so self-deluded that the bad may seem to be the good. At any hour the beginnings of a vicious habit, perhaps through the suggestion of someone else or by our own carelessness, indif- ference, or faults, may find their way into our hearts. The price we must ng the good is eternal vigilance. | Exchange.

T can assert in the name of mankind, | or at least of those men whose votes | T have taken, that white and red paints make women look old and hideous; that it is as disgusting to see women with paint on their faces as with false teeth in their mouths and waxen balls to puff out their thin cheeks; and that far from countenancing it, men solemnly protest against all such arts, which in- fallibly tend to cure them of love.” The wonder arises if LaBruyere spoke only for the men of his time. | | | The Crow’s Voice. The crow is one of the most widely disliked of birds. His reputation is bad, and is probabiy deserved. No matter how long you study the crow, you will always have something to learn, and at the end of all your study he will know more about you than you will about him, At times it seems as if he knew what you were thinking about. The crow has a large variety of ‘ notes or calls, and each one seems to be the harshest in all bird vocalism until the next one is sounded, whict is a little harsher. He ts an accom Plished bird, and intelligent. If tamed he can be taught mapy things, bu: never to be good. He is a natura! thief, and cannot be reformed.
