NEW IDEAS ABOUT PARENTS
Becoming One Brings Increased E.
TEEN and Regard for Them 40
Pillars of Life

My new responsibility has brought
me a variety Of new appropriations. AS
a parent find 1 have new sentiments
about parents, and increased esteem
and regard for them as pillars that
uphold life and direct It. Beyond
doubt, they are fine for upholding
grandchildren. No doubt there would
be considerably more grandchildren In
our world If there were more grand
parents who recognized their RESPONSE
bilities and made provision. as a mat
ter of course, to meet them. But that
does not accord with the lively indi-
vidualism of our generation. Not only
are we all DESTROYS Of Independent
life, but our parents prefer 1t for US.
Accordingly when we get above the
social plane in which independent lie
for man and wife can be maintained
for $50 q week, marriage Is apt to
come late. There are immense advan-
tages about that social plane In which
500 a week is a complete living, and
the wife is cook and housemaid. wife,
mother and nurse all in one, and the
state provides education, and the doc
tor adjusts his charges to your in
come, and all the man has to look
after is food, clothes, shelter and
pocket money! I hope the people who
are born with call on that phase
of existence appreciate their luck. To
rise to a $2O-a-week phase must be
full of satisfaction, but to drop to 1t
is quite another matter. Whatever
starting point is dealt out to us, It 10
from that point that We have got to
go on, and, whether we like 1t or not
the point at which 1t behooves US to
arrive is measured from the point at
which we start.-E. S. Martin In Har-
per's Magazine.

Joke WAS ON THE MOTHER
Buys Straw Hats for Her Tribe OF
Hopefuls at the Harness
Shop.

Edmund Roberts of the salvation
Nell" company, tells good story and
tells It we'll. He has the faculty OF
seeing the funny things in the little
happenings OF every day life.
Last season, in a one night stand
in Pennsylvania, l met an old school
chum, and not having seen him for
years, + was more than pleased to
spend as much OF my one day with
him as could" says Mr.. Roberts.
HE was in the harness business and
l spent the best part OF the day IN
the back part Of the shop keeping him
company while he worked.
During the afternoon he had occa-
sion to go to the bank and left me ID
charge of the place until his return
with a joking rejoinder to sell all
could during his absence.
"He had scarcely gone when IN
came a lady with four small boys ID
quarter sizes, she took four straw
hats out of basket and placed one on
each small head and haLded me Q
dollar, as there was a sign In the
basket stating that they were % cents
each. She tied the strings under each
small chin and left the store.
81 was naturally somewhat elated
at my ability as a salesman and when
my friend returned, told him OF my
sale and gave him the dollar; Then
he informed me that those hats were
for horses during hot weather and he
had a good laugh on me. Well / sold
a dollars worth Of hats and II the
lady ever discovered that the hats
were for horses and not for small
boys l was not there to hear the I'm

photographer.

people are inclined to smile at
praise Of the daguerreotype Of our
grand fathers" said q photographer
the other day, "but want to say that
the photograph Of the present day 10
no Improvement on It for artistic del
icacy, for beauty and for quality. In
subtlety Of likeness. nothing ever has
eQualed the daguerreotype Of seventy
years ago, and those who possess any
Of them should treasure them 90 the
choicest heirlooms.
Most styles move In cycles, and It
is the same with photographs. Many
photographers are taking up the
daguerreotype again. In view Of the
advance in photography, It is now
possible to make daguerreotypes that
are permanent, for the originals were
wont to fade when exposed to light.
That's why they were always put in
covered cases.
There IL at least one very good
reason for the daguerreotype being bet
ter, and that Is that there 10 nothing
but the camera lens between the sub
ject and the picture, and the only loss
is the reversal Of the subject. An
other thing is that the highly polished
silver plate Of the daguerreotype
makes possible the greatest amount OF
detail, and the softer shadings, much
of which is lost in photographs today
by the rough surface Of the emulsion
on the negative, by the opaQueness Of
the glass In printing, and the uneven
ness Of the paper"

Motor rruoka Nssd No Rest.

In q paper read before the Electric
Vehicle Association Of America, Mr..
Hayden Eames called attention to the
fact that horse-drawn vehicles must
remain idle for q certain portion Of
the day in order to rest the horses
A recent Investigation showed that
the teams Of the different express
companies in New York city we're idle
20 per cent. Of the total working hours,
much Of this idleness being due to the
fact that the horses needed rest, and
that the periods of>loadlng the wagons
had to be suited to these rest hours
The motor vehicle on the other hand
requires no rest, and hence requires
no adjustment Of the loading hours,

THE LAW OF THE YUKON

This is the law of the Yukon, and
 ever she makes it plain: Send not your foolish or feeble; send
 me your strong and your sane. Strong for the red rage of battle;
 sane, for I harry them sore; Send me men girt for the combat,
 men who are grit to the core; Swift as the panther in triumph,
 fierce as the bear in defeat, Sired of honorable parents, steeled
 in the furnace heat.
 Send me the best of your breeding,
 lend me your chosen ones; Them will I take to my bosom,
 them will l call my sons; Them will I gild with my treasures,
 them I will honor and greet, But the others-the misfits, the fail
 ures-I trample under my feet.

EXPLOSIONS
 MYSTIFY
 ALASKANS

G. w. Woods, who returned last week from a prospecting trip in company with L. A. Pratt and John Cary, from the head of the Malozi, tells of hearing the explosions and feeling the vibrations of the volcanoes on Kodiak island while on their trip.
 At first the party thought it was some kind of a celebration at the post and that the explosions were caused by the firing of cannons, but when the noise kept up all through the first night and for three days and nights thereafter they came to the conclusion that it was an eruption of the earth of some kind.
 Mr. Woods states that one night the explosions were so loud and continuous that they kept the party awake all night. He said the noise was like a lot of explosions occurring to- gether and the party would feel the vibration of the earth at the same time.
 Several people living on the outskirts of Fairbanks heard sounds as of blasting or cannOnading to the sOuthward, and wondered if the road crew were blasting stumps. Learning that this was not the case, they were mystifed as to the cause.
 Up the Panama at the different road houses the same explosions were heard beginning in the afternoon and continu- ing until after midnight, some Of them coming in quick succession.
 In one instance some prospectors thought someone was dynamiting in a nearby lake, and went to investigate At the lake they found the noise still sounded as far away as ever.
 Prospectors near some of the glaciers attributed the noise to cracking of the ice and falling fragments.
 Since the press dispatches arrived telling of the terrific volcanic explosions over on the coast, the real significance of the noise appears. They were the sounds of the eruptions.
