F or doing w h a t you- should do.

D on’t do r ig h t unw illing ly ,A nd stop to plan and m easure; *

’Tis w ork ing w ith the heart andsou l T hat m akes our du ty pleasure.

“ W hen you feel a course is w rong,A nd conscience tells you so;

Though a friend should bid you err,Be firm , and answ er No!

Tim s, in every step of life,A g o o d exam ple show,

N or fear to speak th a t little w ord—No! No! N o !”

Only thyse lf th y se lf can harm .F orget it no t! A nd fu ll of peace,

As if the south w ind w hispered w arm ,W ait thou til! s to rm and tu m u lt cease.

To t h e M a n -o n -t h e -b a n d -s t a n d :D e a k sr it: T hough you were no t so

w idely know n in the ea rlie r years of C arlisle School as you are to-day, y e t I opine you have alw ays been in terested in every th ing , how ­ever sm all th a t was done there, and I wish to recall to your rem em brance a little occur­rence of 1881.

I t is th a t of the p rin tin g in th e E adle K e a t a ii T on <»f D ecem ber in th a t yea r a sh o rt artic le te lling of a P ic tu re G allery th a t had been opened a t the B arracks.

(The R e d M a n w as once ca l led “ E a d le K eatah Toll.” )

The w riter of the artic le expressed a d m ira ­

tion of the p ictures exh ib ited for tru th fu l rep ­resen ta tives of the objects pa in ted even ‘Though H ogarth m igh t have been disgusted a t th e absence of h is ‘L ine of B eau ty ,’ and T itian deplored th e lack of know ledge of the a r t of coloring, show n by the artis ts .

H ow tru e to real life w as th a t of th e chase of ja ck rabbits, the w rite r d id no t know till recen tly .

On read ing M rs. Lew W allace’s book en ­titled “ The L and of the P ueblos” she learned th a t the Pueblo boy (B ennie Thom as, w as it, not, m y friend?) who drew th a t p icture, was g iv ing a sketch of an am usem ent th a t had been his special de ligh t in h is hom e life, in ­stead of d raw ing upon his im ag ina tion as she had alw ays supposed.

T hat p ic ture w ith o thers described in the artic le m entioned lias been safely kep t in a portfolio and often draw n ou t lo prove the na tive ta len t for a r t possessed by C arlisle p u ­pils.

To-day, the chase of the Ja c k R abb itsfo r its h isto rical value stands forem ost and it is sug­gested, if Mrs. W allace brings out a new ed i­tion of lier “ L and of the Pueblos” she m igh t consider th e p ic tu re an add ition to its pages as an illu stra tion of th e ' sports she describes th a t people as en joy ing ,w ith those long-eared an im als.

“ Oh, I d o n ’t like F rid a y evenings, for I have n o th in g to do ,” one g irl was h ea rd to say to ano ther la s t F rid ay evening. The indus­trious g irls like an off evening very m uch.
