YOUR MISSION.
Wlint are we here for?
To wear clothes and eat and sleep
and work, pay taxes and vote, buy and
sell, pay our debts, vote the party tick
et. II;: I and fall, fret and Hunk, die and
be burled?
Is (lint all?
is life shut up to decent living, pay
ing debts and keeping out of the peni
tentiary? Is iii re no moaning in life
no purpose in it all?
“If we are so soon done for, what
were we begun far?"
Let's see.
We are quick to say that certain men
were evidently htlrn for a certain pur
pose a Columbus to iind a new world,
a Washington to fight for a republic, a
Lincoln to save it. ,
Well:
Lot its conn' down tin* ladder a little.
If n rolutobus and a Washington were
born for a purpose, w hy not an Kbi' >n
or ;i Plnehot V
And if an Kdison and ti Plnehot way
not ;i Joint Janies and it Hill .Smith'.'
And so on down.
Where will you draw the line in be
iug born for a purpose?
Is there not a purpose in your life
and itt mine and in everybody's life?
lx there not some niehe for yon to fill'
else Hint niehe goes empty? Is there
not some cause that but for you must
suffer?
Surely!
livery life lias its mission.
And. if so. suppose you and 1 are not
tilling our destiny. Suppose we nr<*
disobedient to the heavenly vision.
Wtiy, it would lie better that some
other soul had been born in our place.
Responsibility for the gift of life and
strength is not alone for a Washington.
Responsibility must be distributed, and
that means that John James and Hl’l
Smith have each their share—and you
and me.
The purpose of Jpoilri''life and rafeie:
may be but a mod St mie, I'M? haps \vo '
are not lu'g enough for a lug Job. I nt— 1
To every man his service.
And in the doing of that service
worthily and well we shall find the
meaning of life, and only so.
To him that doetli shall tie doctrine
be revealed.
PUBLICS CHOOL HAPPENINGS
BY OUR HIGH SCHOOL CORRES
PONDENT.
The Nebraska High School Athletic
j Association have adopted new rules
of eligibility for the qualification of
I entrance in Basket ball tournaments.
The rules are as follows: All con
I testants must he under graduates
and must not take part in Athletic
contests between High Schools for
more than four years; must be under
twenty-one years of age, must be
; bonafide pupils In regular attend
j ance, taking at least fifteen periods
of recitation work per week, and
must have enrolled during the first
two weeks of the semester in which
the contest takes place, provided,
however, that on the recommendation
of the principal, the Board of Con
trol may ac-< redit pupils entering af
ter the fifteen day limit but such
recommendation must he accompanied
by a full statement of reasons for
such requests.
The First Annual Inter-Scholastic
Basket ball tournament open to all
Nebraska High Schools, will be held
in Lincoln, March 9, 10 and 11, 1911.
This tournament is held under the
management of the University of
Nebraska Athletic Board. All com
petitors must l»e eligible according
to the rules of the Nebraska High
School Athletic Association. A sil
ver loving cup, presented by ('. A.
Tti ker. the jeweler, will be given to
Lie winner of the tournament.
Miss Battles the high school ling
lish teacher, gave a talk to the sev
enth and eighth grades, in the high
school building on her trip to Scot
land. It was highly appreciated by
all the students. The high school
wishes Miss Battles would give them
some more lectures like the previous
ones.
The seventh and eighth grades,
High School, gave a farewell party
yesterday evening to Miss Henryetta
Lletzkie. Miss Henryetta leaves in
a few days for Syracuse, New York.
She has made many friends in Falls
City and they all wisli her a bright
future.
We are glad to see Miss Dorothy
King and Walter Albers back at
school again.
A New York theatrical manager of
note says that no more plays with
gentlemen and ladies—real gentlemen
and real ladies—roan be staged in
this country because no actor can be
found who can play the parts with
anything like success. The younger
generation of actors, as in the case
with other folks here and yonder, are
utterly incapable of understanding the
emotions of the well-bred and are as
a consequence unable to portray gen
tility in action. A rather stinging
commentary on the times, but in a
measure true. The decay of good
breeding is marked even to those
j among us whom observation lias
| been confined to the last twenty
years. There is much affectation
•'lid pilis of unsustainable pretence
in the matter, but when the test be
! comes acute Hi" real quality is al
I u ays found lacking. Take the ial
, lowest sort of stripling nowadays
and you will find him playing at
| the ritual male.” If he isn't as
| t ig as a splinter and hasn’t fuzz
I enough on his face to hold a lather,
f.e is thoroughly imbued with the
| ethics of the .dog pit and the prize
j ring. That he should sacrifice
| his own selfish convenience in the
I performance of any social emenlty,
that he should do anything in fact
he doesn't want to do, never occurs
| to him. In the ball room, where of
old good breeding was the rule,
! pot-house manners now prevail. As
for the girls and young women, • the
graciousness and cordiality, and the
refinement of manner that distin
guished the elder generation seem
; to he wholly la king. One -hesitates
to give greetings in passing for fear
he may be snubbed. Now and then
one encounters an older person of
the same kind, and when it comes to
children no jerentaid is equal to the
task of lamenting and departure from
old standards.— blx.

Dennie Frame, a colored gentle
man at the coal chute was asked yes
terday to go to the top and work.
Dennie started up with good faith
but when he reached the chain on
one of the feeders it was all day
with Dennie. Round and round he
went with the chain his stoma< h turn
ing at about the same rate as the
feeder. “I can’t do it boss” said
Dennie, "I can't make de top boss”
and down slid Dennie feet first, it's
a little light in the upper story you
get when you try to go to the top of
the chute.
Say, Bill, don’t you want a job of
switching or brakeing. If so then
there is a job for you. Speak up
that's the man who gets the job.
The coal schute boss made the re
mark to one nf tie men with the

He thinks that fellow will get rich.
