ASKING QUESTIONS.
The Art of Interrogation Should BE
Devoid of Impertinence.


Devoid of Impertinence.
'DO not ask questions is the worst
piece of social advice which age can
give to youth. A man who never asks
questions is the dullest fellow in the
world He had better ask too many
than too few. We can defend ourselves
against curiosity, but no armor avails
against Indifference. We must resign
ourselves to be bored to death.
What is the secret of the art of in
terrogation? Putting aside quick SYM
pathies, which lie at the root of every
social art, we believe the most essen
tial quality for those who would excel
in it is directness. The art of asking
questions so as to learn instruct, please
and influence is not the art of beating
about the bush. The questions which
offend and silence are the questions
which suggest some Interior motive. 1t
is a found out scheme which makes
men angry. Anything Of the nature
of a trap keeps us on our guard. II
we once fall into one we resolve it
shall be the last time. Suspicion kills
confidence. Interrogative hints are ut
terly useless. The average man does
not dislike to be questioned. He hates
to be startled, crossed, interfered with,
reproached, wearied or betrayed. He
hates the questions which are not ask
ed with a simple intention.
There are questions which are asked
not because the asker wants to know,
but because he intends to tell Others,
while ostensibly directed to find out
mans opinion, are really intended to
reflect upon his character Some men
inquire as to their neigh8ors' projects
in order to put difficulties in their way.
Strings of meaningless questions are
poured out by those who desire to pre-
tend an interest in some subject which
they neither know nor care anything
about
We believe the conclusion Of the mat
ter to be this: The art of Interrogation
is a serious branch Of the social art.
Well asked questions are of the essence
Of agreeable intercourse, but the in
terrogative mood will not Justify an
impertinence, an interference, a verbal
assault-nor, for the matter of that, a
bore.-London Spectator

The Sedan Chair.

The sedan chair is named after Sc
dan, the town where it was first used.
The earliest mention Of it in England
occurs in 1881. Early in the following
century the Duke of Buckingham
caused much indignation by its use III
London. People were eXasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place of horses to car
~ him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain in 1923 three curiously wrought
sedans, two of which he gave to the
Duke of Buckingham. A few weeks
after their introduction Massinger pro
duced his play, "The Bondman," and
in it he thus adverts to the ladies':
For their ponp and care being borne
In triumph on mems shoulders.
The reference is doubtless to Buck
inghams sedan, which was borne like
a palanquin.-"B ygone England"

BACcALAUREATE SERMON BY
THE REVEREND MILLER.
SUBJECT INTERESTING JNE
"Life's Capital" Explained in Its Full
Meaning-Way Pointed to Sue
cessful Careers.

About every seat in the opera house
was occupied last Sunday evening by
parents and friends of the young Ia
dies and gentlemen who graduate from
the high school this year to
listen to the 'baccalaureate sermon
delivered by the Reverend Mr.. Miller,
pastor of THE Baptist church. The
musical numbers were under the di-
rection of Mrs. Tompkins, who had
trained a large chorus OF school chill
dren. Valuable assistance was rem
dered by several of the we'll known
local vocalists. The Reverend Arthur
Miles of the Congregational church
delivered the invocation, while the
Reverend G. b. Miller of the Metho-
dist church pronounced the benedic-
tion.
The sermon was eloquent and ear
nest and replete with wholesome ad-
vice to those for whose special bene-
fit it was preached. "Life's Capital"
was the subject, and the text was
taken from Luke, 12-XV.
After expressing the pleasure it
gave him to be permitted to- address
them, Mr.. Miller said that soon the
graduates would be given their di-
plomss, well merited evidence of
their efficiency and honesty of labor
performed during the school years,
the first of which were about to end.
They had begun at the bottom and by
patient labor had attained the summit
sof the mountain which in their more
youthful eyes had lowered so loftily
above and now had a more enjoyable
and larger view than any had during
the period of time when they were
slowly and laboriously making the
ascent. During these years you have
consciously CIR unconscicusly been lay
ing up 'Life's Capital 1t has been
laid Up, line upon line, precert upon
precert; here a little, there a little"
said the speaker. Jesus Christ
taught us that a mans life consistent
net in the abundance of the things
which he pOssesseth.' 1t is important
that we consider somewhat thought
fully the true riches-namely those
elements of character without which
the material possessions would be to
lis gold that cankers.' You have al
ready learned to some extent the val
ue of teachableness. Jesus took the
little child and sat it in the midst of
his disputing diciples and taught one
of the most profound lessons of all
ages-childlike simplicity. Again he
said, Take my yoke upon you and
learn of me, for l am meek and Qowly
at heart Weakness is the mark OF
the truly highminded mar or woman,
and is so much more desirable than
arrogance. Another valuable asset
of life is that of appreciation"
Mr.. Miller then spoke of the ex-
ceptional advantages afforded by the
schools of Billings for the foundation
Of an education, and paid high tribute
to the public school system of the ma
ton, for great as is the country it's
greatness is largely due to the public
schools and educational system. $50

Mr.. Miller, prove your appreciation

DEATH OF
R. LLOYD EATON
A Popular Young Business Man
of Nome Passed Away Yes.
terday Morning.

K. Lloyd Eaton died yesterday morn
ing at his residence, Front street east.
Although Mr.. Eaton had been extreme
ly i'll for several weeks past, the news
of his death came as surprise to his
friends and acquaintance. of whom he
had many, not only in Nome but
throughout this section of Alaska
Death was due to tuberculosis con-
tracted last fall. 1t was hoped that
his life would be prolonged until he
could reach California, where the
change of climate might benefit him.
1t was not to be, however. and he
passed peacefully away yesterday
morning at o'clock.
Mr.. Eaton was about % years of age.
He was born in San Mateo, Cal He
came to Nome in 1900 and for the first
two years had been engaged in the
coal business in this city, first in con-
nection with George Z. Taylor, and
later on his own account. Mr. Eaton 8
father is a we'll known resident of San
Francisco, where he is auditor of the
Pacific States Telephone Company.
Mr.. Eaton leaves wife and daughter,
who have resided in Nome for the past
two or three years. Mrs. Eaton is
Frustrated over the death of her hus-
band, and she is now at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. II. f. Trengove, where
she is being tenderly cared for.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the funeral. The body will,
however, be embalmed and shipped to
San Francisco for interment on the
opening of navigation.

Toxic, March 1T is believed the
Russian Vladivostok squadron is now
in the vicinity of the mouth of the
Tumah river, engaged in covering the
movements of troops from Possiet bay
to the valley of the Tumn. Russian
scouts are reported to have penetrated
South Tokiung Sun. The earlier Rus
sian movement to Northwestern Korea
was regarded as diversion, but it now
appears that considerable Russian
force participated. The reports re
garding Russian movements in North
western Korea are very meager anc
unreliable. That the force north o.
the Yalu is being increased is moi
doubted, but it is not believed any con
siderable number of Russians have ye'
crossed the river boundary between
Manchuria and Siberia.
