When Il young lad Of good parentage
and of sound training and education
begins to chafe under the restraint Of
parental discipline it is time for the
parents to exercise the wisdom got
only from the lessons taught in the
great school of the wide, wide world.
Theories and principles eXpounded
ever so convincingly will not keep the
growing boy Mt home after o'clock
in the evening when there is a chance
TO escape into the streets TO meet the
bunch" the alluring. versatile bunch
whose plans so often include the ami
hilation of the Sioux warriors of the
Dakota plains who have laid down the
tomahdwk to take up the agency clay
pipe and store clothes.
That is TO say. theories and princl-
pies merely will not suffice to restrain
the impulsive, imaginative, action
craving youths unless the parent com
bines with them enough knowledge Of
the world to convince the half formed,
half trained youthful mind that the
mentor has the best interests Of the
lad in mind. that he has been through
it all himself and knows full well the
joys and disappointments, the fears
and hopes of early days.
And it is the habitually stern, opti-
mistic, unyielding and academic par
ent who convinces the young lad that
he knows nothing of the fascinating
temptations Of boyhood. The spirit
of compromise is allowed to perish by
such a parent; the spirit of rebellion
grows in the sons heart; spirit nour-
ished on the decay of the respect and
love thrust aside by the father who
would not understand.

He KNEW ABOUT
SANS BUM COPY
NOTED NEVADA HUMORIST EN-
COUNTERED OLD TIME PRIN-
BAKERS THEATER PARTY.
by Sam Davis }

A friend suggested that | place
my watch in his charge before l
went to the theater to mix up with
the guests of Warden Bakers little
theater party last Saturday night at
the Majestic. His apparent anxiety
to be the custodian of the timepiece
aroused my suspicious and | decid-
ed to take the watch to the theater
and run the chances, where | felt it
had a chance.
l still carry the watch and think
that my Judgment was correct.
When | got where l could scan
the faces of Warden Bakers party
unobserved l ran my eye down the
line to see if l could recognize any
one and my search was rewarded by
encountering a familiar physiog-
Monty.
Presently the mar turned and see
ing me nodded and said, Hello
Sure enough it was a printer who
used TO swear at my copy nearly 40
years . ago on the San Francisco
Chronicle.
l could not resist the temptation
10 slide in behind his seat. which had
an aisle running behind it. and say
Hello in return aud shake his
profered hand.
DO you write as bad as eyer?" he
queried eheerily.
How about your writing? DO
you handle a pen as ~cleverly as you
used to-
This was a center shot and he
grinned as he WINGED under it.
Yes, my penmanship was so in
formally good that I got seven
years"
| knew that he was there for for
gerry and was glad that he mentioned
it voluntarily.
THAT copper plate hand of yours
never brought you much luck, did it,
Bob?" l replied.
"Oh, that wasn't what brought me
in here, / got into Jail to keep from
setting your Internal copy and 1
never want to get back where /
might have to set more of the rail
fences and rabbit brush you palm off
on printers for editorials"
This man, whose profanity used to
ring down the corridors of the
Chronicle Office when "Old Tim
mons" read proof on De Young's
paper, had been at last overtaken by
retribution as so many men do who
write such beautiful hands, but time
he'd mellowed the maledictiye on
slaughts he used to hurl at me, and
| almost felt that / would even slip
him a rope to let him down out of
his window in the night or pass him
a saw to harry the bars of his
window.
But the raising of the curtain on
the first act cut short his repartee
and the men in front all leaned
forward to catch a glimpse of the
stage. Some of them had not e

mimic portrayal of human life in
20 years.
| soon found myself more inter-
ested in the men than the play and
slipped to one side, where | could
study their faces.
Their attitude toward the play
varied with their temperaments.
Some were keen to catch every point
and applaud it, while others sat
stolidly staring at the scene before
them and gave no sign of the feelings
within.
Some caught every flash of humor
in the piece and shook with merri-
ment when the kids were running a
make believe bank, while others
never cracked a smile, n matter how
obvious or lively the jokes were.
But in this respect they did not in
any way differ from the rest of the
audience. Plenty of people sit
through a four-act play and never
seem to realize just what is going
on. or if they do, make no sign.
When Jimmy Valentine" was
matching his wits against the de-
t%ective's and presenting an abb that
the detective could not break, every
man of Bakers party hoped to see
Jimmy win out, and hoped it from
the bottom of his heart.
Of course all those criminal fell
lows were naturally against the
police but come to think it over |
was on the same side of the fence
and when | come to look over into
the faces of those down below
where the respectable part of the
audience was supposed to be- every
body and the cook were on the side
of the fellow who was handing
one" to the representative of the
Massachusetts, civil authorities.
When the crucial test of Jimmie's
character came and he placed him
self %squarely in the detectives power
by saving a child from a horrible
death every man in Bakers theater
party acted as if he would have done
the very same thing under the cir
eumstances and they also %applauded
yoeiferously when the old crook
grabbed some bills that he was left
alone with and then east them back
into the till as he refused TO again
soil his hands with tainted money.
There were times when tears
coursed their way down the cheeks
of the men who are still the wards of
the state, as the pathos of the play
stirred better memories In their ma
lures and brought out touches of
humanity that had lain dormant all
these weary years of temptation, suf-
fering and servitude.
| heard people after the play in
dulge in sarcastic speculation as to
the good that might or might not
follow Warden Bakers experiment.
1t looked to me as if such people
were shallow minded and had never
studied human nature to much ad-
vantage.
The play that can direct any mans
thoughts in the right direction can
also uplift a convict who possibly
has more need of the uplift. Mr..
Baker has tried a very original ex-
pertinent and 1t is bringing about a
lot of good results.
