Let the Youngster Learn 20 stand Up
For His Rights.
Have you forbidden your son to fight
under severe penalties? And have you
sent him to n public school hampered
by this injunction? This IL the infalli-
BILE result: Either he will fight and
deny II to you, which Is far more
blameworthy than fighting. or he will.
II a strictly obedient boy. refuse to
fight or to resent imposition, and thus
gain the reputation of a 'milksop" or
SISSY" and his school days will be
made miserable by the injustice of this
stigma and by the indignities and an
noyances to which he will be subjected
by his mates. II you find your boy
quarrelsome and inclined to impose
upon other and younger boys punish
him as severely as you wish. am
fully in accord with you there. for q
quarrelsome. tyrannical bully is a null
sance In any school: but as long as
there are schools so long will there be
quarrelsome. tyrannical bullies. and
you and 1, my dear madam, wish our
boys to take these bullies in hand and
thrash them. Now, isn't that 90?

And when. in after years. Fatty be-

lege ever boasted and one Of the best
business men in New Hampshire Is
there any doubt that this fight had
some infiuence-a slight influence, per
haps, but still an infuence-in produc
ing this development? And do you
suppose that he was any the less q
gentleman and a good citizen from
having learned to stand up for his
rights and to resent improper interfer
ence with his affairs? Let your boy
learn to box. to wrestle. to fence. and

Linear Measure.

A northern sportsman went alliga-
tor-hunting in Florida, and as often
happens with the uninitiated, he got
lost. 1t was near night and he was
at loss what to do. Presently he
met a man riding COW.
"Can you tell me how far it is to
Miami?"
"Waal, I reckon it's about two
whoops," the man answered.
"Two-what?"
The man seemed to take this as
challenging his veracity, for he
looked questioningly at the palmet-
toes and prickfey pears beside the
path, then began to scratch his head.
''Pr'aps hit may be smitch fur.
DER" he admitted, "but | low hit

OCEAN LINERS IN PORT.
The Work That Il Done BY the Crew
That Never Sails.

That Never Sails.
The captains authority over an ocean
liner, and equally, of course. his respon-
sibility for her. extend only over the
time when she Is crossing the sea.
Practically the responsibility ceases
when she approaches land on either
her navigation as soon as he comes
aboard. When the ship arrives at her
pier, or "a soon, to be exact. as she II
within hailing distance, the captain IL
no longer In control. She N then under
the authority Of the marine superin-
tendent. who is in command of the
piers and tugs and harbor front equip
ment of the line and who takes charge
Of the docking OF all vessels.
To bring u giant liner to rest at her
pier Is a delicate operation. The flow
Of the tide. the headway impaired by
her engines before they stop. the depth
OF the water, must all be taken into
consideration, for the quarters are mar
row. and II she were to ram the pier
II would mean a bad smashup. But
with the skill of long experience the
superintendent. by voice and hand. con-
trolls the great vessel perfectly, and
with tugs helping her and cables draw.
ing her she glides into her resting place
as quietly and easily as a tired child
slips beneath the covers at night.
Practically, from the moment when
the liner is made fast she Is turned
over to the crew that never sails. Her
officers remain on duty. and their work
Is as arduous and almost as incessan nj
In port AZ at sea. But the law requires
that the crew of each vessel shall be
paid or and discharged at the end OF
every voyage. In the case Of the liner
they are again signed Immediately. but
during the period while the vessel lies
in port they are not officially connected
with her. and the work which naturally
would fall to their lot Is performed by
the port crew.-Earl Mayo In Leslie'i
Weekly.
