Both teams have practiced hard since 1.lie last encounter, so that 11 good game i.s anticipated. On account of this game, the girls will not, have their regular practice this afternoon, but to-morrow, at four o'clock. All the girls on Gladys Nehrhas' and Ruth Maxwell's teams are asked to come. Hard work will be necessary if we expect to defeat Classical Scliool when t he game conies off. ATTENTION 1902. will be a ineel ing li PRACTICE, THURSDAY. Thc basketball hoys were busy all Tuesday afternoon- practicing. A few of those who are expected to make the team were nol present, owing to the Huntington football game. Masters looked on, but was unable to play on account of his leg. Dean, Gibbs and a few others witnessed the first practice. Tolin. Holdson and Herzscll who played on last year's team pailii-i- pated. Tolin expects our school to put out a line team this year, and says he is going to work the boys hard. Those who practice the most faithfully, will be given a chance oil the team. Those who do ti"t come out to practice, but think they have a "cinch" on making the team, will make a decided mistake. They will have to hustle. The next practice will be, Thursday afternoon, at 2 I o'clock. Everyone should come, who expects to try for the team. Tliere will be practice Saturday afternoon also. I How to spend vacation'!* Of course, I that was tin-great question last week, lit would be very interest ing to Iind j out the variety of ways this question . was answered. Some few people were i foolish enough to spend their time studying. Il is sale to say. however, i that this number was very small. A I great many people went out of the city 'jloeat their turkey dinner with friends land relatives. Those who were not All the Juniors should be in Room 1> to-morrow momlngat8o'-clook for the Junior Class Meeting. Many important business mutters will be talked over.

One crowd of o'clock Room D. seemed against them, for every place tliey called they received the .same an. 1 siver. "Not at home." At last they disbanded, hoping that ne*xt time they might have belter success. We all know how 1 he football boys spent their vacation, out on the Held of battle, and certainly they deserve three cheers for lighting so bravely to uphold the honor of our sell,,ol. ADVERTISEMENTS. one of the funniest feat 11 res of tliis age of buying and selling Is the mania for advertisement. No place is tool remote, too inaccessible or too sacred to deter tlto advertiser. The average American, without regard In age or condition, is a bargain seeker, always no the lookout for bargains and the majority are easily taken In. A skillfully worded adverflscmen I In u daily paper, offering rare opportunities for buy Ing something at a little less than cost, is read by some with us much' Interest :is tho war returns or thel society notes. The pages of our magazines are alive with shining-faced | maidens represented assaying "Good- morning, have you used Pear's Soap,." and on these same pages are tali graceful damsels whose hair bangs yards behind them, proving to every one 11 i;i I A yel -'s Hair Grower Is the best il) Hie world. (11 course, "the mosl popular loaf" is familiar to all. We may Improve our minds on tbe streetcar by reading, '•This is I lie maid of fair renown Who scrubs tbe floors In Spntles.-Toun To tind a speck, when she i.s through, Would take ;i pair of specs or two. And her employment is not slow, 1 For she employs Sapollo." The story of tbe high-caste Hindoo merchant who visited America iind wasso pleased with "11. <). Buckwheat" thut he sent a large quantity I to his fellow-countrymen is Interest- 1 ing; but a person would feel foolish il I he did not know it was an advertisement till lie bad read to the bitter lend of it. On our way to school the I bill posters inquire, "Do you know iineeda wafer'-" It would ! be useless to try to escape the adver- 1lisemenl. For miles on every side of the city, on every barn and fence, thc yellow letters forming the words, ••When are yon going to the When?" and '-The When's all right," are very prominent. Don' gel disgusted with them, but just read and laugh, for a good laugh Is even belter for the con- stitution than Paine's Celery Compound or Ayers' Pills. Bkssik YanMktkii. RANDOn SHOTS.
