THE SKETCH 49 WISE SAYINGS OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN The discontented man finds no easy chair. As often as we do good, we sacrifice. He who gives promptly gives twice as much. Great talkers, little doers. He that cannot obey, cannot command. Approve not of him who commends all you say. Paintings and fightings are best seen at a distance. The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise. The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money. A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market. By diligence and patience the mouse ate the cable. Men take more pains to mask than to mend. I He that composeth himself is wiser than he that composeth books. After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser. Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy faults. Hear no ill of a friend nor speak any of an enemy. He that falls in love with himself will find no rival. I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. --ABRAHAM LINCOLN I will study and prepare myself and perhaps some day my chance will come. The Flag There are many flags in many lands There are flags of every hue, But there's never la flag in any land Like our own red, white and blue. -ABRAHAM LINCOLN I know where the prettiest colors are, Pm sure if I only knew How to get them here, I could make a flag Of our own red, white and blue. I would cut a piece from the evening sky, Where the stars were shining through, And use it just as it was on high For my stars and field of blue. Then I'd take a part of a fleecy cloud And some red from a rainbow bright, And I'd put them together, side by side, For my stripes of red and white. Then hurrah for the flag-our country's flag, lt's stripes and white stars, toog For there's never a flag in any land Like our own red, white and blue. -WARREN DoucI.As

43 .. SKETCH A Tale of Folks About School EARNHART got into his NASH and drove to the SMALL home of SWEET ISABELLE. As he neared the cottage he saw her standing in the doorway, dressed in a SCHEERER SILVER GOWIN. She welcomed him with great JOY. As they seated themselves on the COUCHfmanj, a LOWDEN knocking was heard at che door. WILEY VOSSLER burst into the room! Your mortgage money is due! he shrieked. Either you marry me or I will put you out of this WHITE cottage! Suddenly EARNHART leaped to his feet! I challenge you to a duel tomorrow morning at sunrise! he shouted. The WINNER will get Isabelle in marriage! I accept the challenge, Vossler said. I shall win, he added in a BRAGG-ing voice. The nxet DAY, BRIGHT and early, they were in a FAIRFIELD, over- looking the GREEN shore of the LAKE, under a VICKERY nut tree. ISABELLE was GRAY with fright. EARNHART was GRIM because of his GAMBLE with death. Just then the villain arrived in his new PACK- ARD. UHL be sure to losef' he said to the brave hero. I will keep the KEY to the cottage, and your CARR, Isabelle told WILEY VOSSLER! If you lose, I keep them both, and if you win you get to marry me and get to keep them, too. While EARNHART looked to see if his sword was SHARP, the villain took his CAIN and went down to the Creek to get a drink. When he heard a SHROLL HORN blow he knew it was time to go back to the field and fight the duel. He looked very CROSS as he climbed the high HILL near a deserted CAMP. In a few minutes all was ready and the duel began! Please make PEACE with each other, Isabelle begged, and we can go and play GOFF. The FEIGHNERS did not hear her, so intent were they on fighting each other. In WOHNLICK the FRAKES is over! The WINNER, EARNHART. Oh, I LOVE you so, Isabelle breathed. The villain lay on the ground, dead. Your work is DUNN,,' she added. Let's go into the cottage and start the FURNESS, it's getting cold. They went in by the SOUTHGATE. Suddenly they heard a loud whistling sound!!! It was a WORRELL-wind! It BLUE the roof off the cottage. Let us flee, Earnhart cried. We shall go to FRANTZV' Before they started they put VOSSLER in a COFFIN and buried him. Their CARR ate up the MILES. The storm was over. Carry me onto the boat, Isabelle said, because it's RAINEY out. They joulrneyed to FRANTZ, and we shall leave the SWI- I-LARTS sitting in a TEEGARDEN talking a great DEAL to some FRENCH people. -MARY LOU SWEET
