Said a well known business man tous the other day: “It would not hurtyou to occasionally mention our busi-ness in the paper. It would help tofill up, you know.” Yes, we might doit. We haven't the least idea on earththat it would hurt us, and it would, ashe suggetts, help to fill We mightdo all this, but at the same time,thank God, we do not have to do it un-less we feel like it. It would not hurthim, neither, to come around and say:“Give me a column or a half columnof space for an advertisement, and hereis the money for it.” By doing thishe would become a deserter to thatgrand army of dead-heads who exjntctthe newspapers to continually note theimprovements they make, by givingthem free puffs, and for which theynever pay a cent It is high time forall classes to learn that a newspaper is

a business enterprise, the same as adry goods store or a grocery, run for aliving for its owner.”—Exchange.

Dr. A. S. Alexander, of the depart-ment of horse breeding of the Collegeof Agriculture of the University ofWisconsin, states that the licenses of905 pure bred, (198 grade, and 431 mon-grel or scrub stallions expire January1, 1912. Stallion licenses, according tolaw, have to be renewed every otheryear. As it is desirable that all of thepure bred stallions be retained forpublic service if they have been foundsound, suitable and prepotent, the li-censes of that class of stallions shouldbe renewed promptly. According toDr. Alexander, there is no excuse forthe presence of mongrel or scrubstallions in this state, and grade stal-lions should be supplanted by pure bredstallions as soon as possible. A mon-grel or scrub stallion is one that hasneither sire nor dam of pure breeding.“Grade stallions also,” said Dr. Alex-ander, “are retarding the improve-ment of our horses. Mare owners C'.nalford to patronize only pure bredstallions and such horses shouldbe introduced as quickly as [ossiblethroughout the state. Cure bredshould also be used, as from them furebred colts can in time be produOTO totake the place of the present, horde ofgrade and mongrel, or scrub, stal-lions.”

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.(By Gkakmk O'Gkuan.)

The tiro', basket ball game of the sea-son took place last Friday evening atBrillion. The score was 4ti to 16 infavor of Brillion. It is said the defeatwas due to unfamiliarity with the halland a slippery Moor.

Friday of this week our team meetsthe Neenah loys here.

Six games are slated for the season.We very much regret to learn of the

resignation of our musical director,Miss Ethel' Hensen.

Miss Mensen will leave for the stateof Washington during the Christmasvacation, where she has accepted asimilar position.

Miss Hensen has been in Manitowocfor several years, holding the positionas director under the old system, andher r markable ability gained for herthe same position when the city sys-tem was installed two years ago.

Miss Henson made hosts of friendswhile in the city who are sorry to seeher depart for the west.

The Seniors held a meeting lastweek, at which 1 ’resident. Gerald Mea-ly appointed a committee to selectsamples of class pins.

Examination week has again rolledaround.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.The first duty of a man is to his

home, to his wife and his children, ifhe is so fortunate as to have them.

With some people a knowledge ofhousework is ridiculed, but a personwho does not give homekeeping a placeamong the line arts shows an intellect-ual calibre away down below the com-monplace.

In the family relation every oneshould always be at his best. Thehome ought to be a heaven. It oughtto be as nearly heaven as is jiossible onearth. There should be no purposelywithered (lowers about the hearth-stone and no purposely clouded sun-beams. Selfishness alone ought to besufficient to make home conduct exem-plary. Certainly all want a pleasanthome. Certainly all want smiles in-stead of frowns.

The glad hearts! How welcome theyare in this world! The hearts thatwear a smiling face and extend theglad hand! They scatter sunshinewherever they go. They inspire uswith good thoughts and thedesire todo noble things. They smooth downthe rough places in life. They removethe obstacles from our paths., andsweeten the pleasures of this oldworld.

Half the marriages in the world arenothing but bubbles and barter. Aman wants a wife. He oasts about foran even exchange. In a year he istired of his bargain. In five yearslove is dead, and cold-browed toleranceinherits love’s garments. In twentyyears tolerance is at its grave and hatereigns supreme. Th- wife is naggyand prickly and peckish. The husbandis dogmatical and reticent and mean.But there they hang together on thebough, like two gnarled ami frostedapples, until the winds of death dis-lodge them and away they go. Theonly way to be rid of bubble marriage—marriages that turn out emptinesswith one drop of water as the residum,and (hat drop a tear— is to educate ourboys and girls to something higherthan playing with pipes and soapy wa-ter. Give them something more earn-est to do and see that they do it. ( 'ofu-pel men and women to choose theirlife companions with at least a tit he ofthe solemnity they bring to the se-lection of a carriage horse or a ribbon.

Many a child goes astray, not be-cause there is a want of prayer orvirtue at home, but simply becausehome lacks sunshine. A child needssmiles as much as (lowers need sun-beams.

A homestead without a pair of oldfolks—“Times doting chronicles’’—sealed contentedly in the chimney cor-ner, would Jhardly be a homestead atall. If they are in the picture, it iscomplete. There you may find them,day in and day out, in all sorts of wea-ther, steadfast to their places and toone another. When the eaves drip,in the middle of the winter forenoons,the old man with head of silver aban-dons his post and i newspaper to makethe accustomed tour of the kitchen of-lices, the shed, or the barn, lingeringby the way to throw down a handful ofgrain for the pinched poultry. Withwhat minuteness lie is cautioned bygrandmother not to go out insufficient-ly clad, and with what a single-heartedjoy she welcomes him when he comesback to her again.

Barents, through lack of recognitionof the individuality of children, oftentry to force their minds as a burglaropens a safe, using the jimmy of pa-rental command or the dynamite ofpunishment. It is so much easier, somuch more natural, so muoh more ef-fective, to lind the combination of thesafe,—the individuality of the childthat is the key to its mental and moralprocesses and peculiarities! Then themind opens to truth naturally, simply,automatically. A bud does not becomea flower by irreverent lingers forcingits delicate petals apart; it requiresmere'y self revelation, self develop-ment through self activity, natural un-folding, normal growth in harmonywith its on /ironment.

Ho not ask the teacher or some class-mate to solve that hard problem. Hoit yourself, ’t on mightas well let himeat your dinner as “do your sums" foryou. It is in studying as in eating; hewho does it gets the henellt, and nothe who sees it done.

The mother who radiates peace, ra-diates strength also. The restlessness,the noise, the rush of the life of today,make it all the more necessary tomaintain within the liorno an atmos-phere of serenity and sweetness sothat, the threshold once crossed, theoutside noise and clatter and strifeare left securely behind. This isperhaps, an old-fashioned conceptionof home.

A cut linger is not benefited by pull-ing oIT the plaster and ex|K)sing it tosomeiKxly’s eye. Charity covers a mul-titude of sins. Things thus covereda.e cured without a scar; hut, oncepublished and carried to meddlingfriends, there is no end to the troublethey may cause. Keep it to yourself.Troubles are transient; and, when asorrow is healed and passed, what acomfort it is to say: “No one everknow it till It was over.”

Every one has to llsh for what hogets. Others may possthly halt andtake off the prize from the hook andpaddle the bout, hut the fishing hasgot to he done by your own hand. Ev-ery oilier means you may try will turnout a failure.
