ing veterans from every state of the

Gordon Strong, Chicago real es-
tate dealer, and his wife, who are child
less, have determined to put twelve
boys on the high road to success. As a
beginning they have taken Floyd and
Kenneth Keefe, six and two years old,
respectively, into their own home and
will educate them and train them for
useful lives. Mr.. Strong intends to
take boy each year, selecting them
after careful investigation of their
family histories. He believes that by
the time he has family of twelve the
oldest boy will be ready to go to col
| lege and thus make room for a new ar
rival.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Schmidt, a well-known Alaska couple
who set out from Dawson, early in 1908,
for the White River Copper district of
Alaska, and who have not been heard
of since they started to traverse Skolai
glacier in the country north of Mount
st. Elias, have come to the belief that
! they were lost in crevasse on the
glacier. For two years the two
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs Schmidt
have been conducting thorough
search for their parents but have been
unable to find anyone who saw them
after May IL, 1909, when they left the
place of Joe Slaggard, a mine owner,
at the head of the White River, to
cross the glacier.
Following a custom of many years ,
standing the midshipmen at Annapolis
| ducked the editors of the Lucky Bag,
the Naval Academy annual, as a
punishment for the jokes published at
the expense of their comrades. Though
the victims fought hard, they were
pitched from the sea wall at point
where it was out of the question to
scale it, and they had to swim to a
raft before making landing. The
editor-in- chief is Harold E. Saunders,
honor man of the graduating class and
brigade commander. Most of the mid
shipmen who were ducked were in full
uniform. but some had the fore thought
to don canvas working suits.
