Shall I get up or sleep for one hour more? These thoughts ran through Jim's mind, like a wild horse through a fence, as the alarm rang out into the clear morning air. How Jim hated to get up, when his bed felt so good. It was. just 6 a. m., but Jim had some lessons to get, and worst of all, Mr. Merrill was ready to an¬nounce doom upon the head of any person, who was tardy for any class during school hours. Jim had the habit of arriving two I or three minutes late every morn-ing. He just could not get to class on time. It was never his j. fault; he just had to see Mary before school, although lie had seen her, for hours, the night be¬fore. Yes, Jim had lessons to get, but his eyes seemed like weights, and he was soon fast asleep. Bang! What could that be? Baby brother up already? Yes, baby brother could be heard [downstairs. Jim's mind at once told him that it must be 9 o'clock. Never had Jim rushed, like today, to get to school. He could not eat any breakfast; he missed the street car and had to walk. Everything seemed to say, "Jim Smith, you are tardy and I must report to the office." Jim I thought of drill and the captains as he hurried on to the school house. Everything seemed to fly, I and before Jim could realize what had happened, he was -at the l-school house. Once inside, he began to look around. Sure enough he was tardy, because no one was present in the hallway. Yes, Mr. Croft's room was locked. That showed he was tardy. Jim had broken the rule, and would have to face Mr. Mer¬rill He sat down to wait to see if Mr. Merrill would appear and announce his doom. All at once he was startled by a voice. Mr. Merrill was present. Jim turned and faced. There stood Harry with a puzzled look upon bis face. Jim asked how long ago the second bell had rung. In answer, Harry burst into laugh¬ter, and pulled his watch from his pocket. Seven thirty! Then Jim remembered that his mother was leaving on the 6:30 train for Salt Lake. Baby brother, yes. he was going, too. This ex¬plained the reason for nis early rising.—Louise Scoville. OGDEN H 18 DAY. A dim and far-off gray— Thus breaks the coming day— Dawn. A brilliant sunrise Tinting misty skies- Light. Clouds floating along, A distant bird's song- Morning. Torpid blue—but fair With the sun's hot glare— Noon. Then, rustling the leaves, A refreshing breeze.— Afternoon. Gilt edged ships of pink, Ships that will not sink—- Sunset. Softness fills the air, Twilight everywhere— Evening. Each ship now has flown— The sky with diamonds blown— Night. —Donna H. Manning. WON GLEN CUP.

The best philosophy after all is a certain amount of old fogyism. Many a man goes around preaching honesty, in the hope that folks tie un to it and value unless you have the tact to avoid making people angry by your manner of showing it off. It is safer to be criticised for not doing anything, than it is for doing something badly. The abuity to conceal ignorance sometimes avails more than the capacity for accumulating great wisdom. WHY GO TO COLLEGE. Among our graduating seniors the old problem always comes up —Why go to college? And always the answer comes, "Why, to learn more." Yes, to learn more; but learn more what? For the conscientious student comes the invaluable knowledge gained in classrooms; the thrill of a task accomplished and a work well done. He has among his friends heroes long since dead, authors, musicians, artists, scien¬tists and characters who have nev¬er existed except in the imagination of some great writer. He comes in contact with the great minds of his professors and in¬structors and is able to profit by their knowledge and experience. To the bluffer comes new ways of bluffing. He is introduced to the "pony"; he learns of students who will write his themes in ex¬change for a few dollars; he learns of new ways "to put one over"; he meets others who, like himself, go merrily on their way—hail-fellow- well-met. To both comes the separation from home—the severing of family ties. It is not always pleasant. The weakling gives up and goes home. But to the one who "sticks it out" a new field is open. He knows what it is to get up and get off to morning class without mother there to go through the various stages of calling, warning and bullying him into it. He han¬dles his own money and learns the value of it. He is usually free to go and come as he pleases without having to account to anyone. In short., he is "on his own hook." His life, which thus far has been molded by his family, is left to him to do with as he wills. It is what he does now that tests his true character. And he meets people—all kinds of people from every walk and station in life. There is the earn¬est student who is working his way through school; there is the spend-: thrift who is always borrowing money; there is the one who has come to school only for the social side and thinks only of pleasure; and there is the one who, if he is not in a scrape, has just got out of one or is about to get in an¬other. College, to me, is like a great museum. Everywhere we turn we find something fascinatingly new to catch our eye. Need I ask, "Why go to college?" —Joan Bybee. WEDNESDAY EVENING, Ogden High School Notes DAWNING. The cloud swings low about the mountain's height, Tinged with faint pink, truly an ancient sight: The bird begins to twitter in its nest, The flower lifts its head from peaceful rest. The lonely shepherd in the field so green Awakes, and looks on life, fresh and serene; While far away the cities wake and stir And in the sky the stars grow dim and blur. The grey light changes slowly into gold, The world unites in worship— young and old— While in the village church boilf- ring the day, And ail the world is young again and gay. —ROSEMARY BARBER.
