Iha Oldest CITY.

The city with the longest continuous
history is Damascus. 1t was a place
of considerable Importance away back
in the time of Abraham. 1900 before
Christ. Its actual foundation is lost
in antiquity. Nobody knows when
Damascus did not exist. 1t is possible
that there were cities in Babylonia or
Egypt before the Syrian metropolis
arose. but we know nothing about
them. The old Syrian town today has
a population of some 100000, is the
center of a fine trade and still merits
its fame of being one Of the most
beautiful places on earth.

When a 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 at home after 7 o'clock

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
tomahawk to take up the agency clay
pipe and store clothes.
That is to say, theories and princi-
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; a spirit nour-
ished On the decay of the respect and
love thrust aside by the father who
wouldsnot understand.
A certain lad of sixteen years found
life in his New England home far
more circumscribed than was that of
his companions Of the same age and
same comfortable position. He was
not allowed to go swimming in the
lake because his young friend Tommy
Clark had narrowly escaped drowning.
The fact that Tommy Clark could not
swim and was taking a dare" on that
memorable occasion when he verged
on death near the county line road
bridge and the fact that the lad we
are considering could swim very well
made no difference to the father as
well as to the mother. The son must
keep away rom the water. That was
final.
The further fact that this boy as
pired to be a mining engineer made
no difference to this father or to this
mother. 1t had already been decided
for him that he must study for the
ministry.
Three years passed. The lad was in
college. The study of theology did
not suit his temperament or his de-
Bires. He wanted. above all things,
to go out into the world of action, to
battle with the might of the strong
man he was becoming against big,
tangible odds; out in the open air un-
der the open heavens, down in the
bowels of the earth or wherever there
were mines to be dug and equipped
and operated, He wanted to study
the problems that faced the men who
decoyed the %glistening ores from Sc

with the idea that he could succeed
in this profession.

for the convention was begun. There
were two contenders for the honor be-
sides Indiana Harbor. indianapolis and
Muncie both having designs upon the
next convention. However. so well did
Judge Riley. the spokesman for the
local delegates, plead Indiana Harbor's
cause before the convention, and SO
enthuiast tically did the rest of the
delegates lobby that they carried
everything by storm.
Muncie gave up, disgruntIed, early
in the game. They arrived. eighty Ave
strong, including a band OF twenty, in
time for the banquet. but alas they
had only spoken for five places at the
banquet tables, so there were no prep
