Governor Brown has spoiled them, in
way. and they may not be able to re-
adjust themselves to the Slaton order
of things without some temporary dis

Mr.. Slaton is said TO be the earliest

General Joseph VanHoIt Nash, the
new adjutant general has waded right
into the Office conferred upon him by
the governor. and already is up to his
ears in real work.
General Nash says he proposes to
familiarize himself thoroughly with
the details Of the office, and particu-
larry with the work done in the past
few years.
General Obear now quartermaster
general, is giving his new chief every
assistance in his power. and as he has
the details of the Office at his finger

few days will serve to show him eX-

OFF DAYS the Best.

IAN actor always acts his best when
he is feeling his, worst"
The speaker, an actor-manager, re-
garded himself tenderly and compla-
Gently IL a mirror, and then. giving
twir| to his mustache, he went on:
You see, when an actor is feeling
fine he walks through his part just
as usual painstakingly, conscientiously
and all that. but. on the whole, just as
usual.
but when he feels bad. when he's
got d bad headache or lax liver. then
he is afraid he won't do himself JUS
tee. and so keys up with pint of
strong coffee, a quart of rank tea or
something of that sort, and be goes
on all a-quiver with the fear of fail
ure, and the result Is a performance
unusually subtle and strong.
Yes, 1 do my best when I'm at my
worst, and this is the case with other
actors. It's the case with lots Of writ
ers too. They write best on their off
days
In short. my advice to all artists is
this:

take an of day off."-New York Trib-

Severe Rebuke.

Constable, the famous painter, once
gave a remarkable instance of the
=rweetness Of his temper. which scarce
iy anything could ruffie The story was
told by Julian Charles Young, whose
uncle had witnessed the incident
He called on Constable one day and
was received by him in bis front room.
After half an hours chat the artist
proposed TO repair to the back room to
show him large picture on which he
was engaged On walking up to his
easel he found that one Of his little
boys in his absence had dashed the
handle Of the hearth broom through
the canvas and made so large rent in

bile. He called the child up to him and
asked him gently if he had done it.
When the boy admitted his act Consta-

grown, no doubt. faith in Ills boys
ability to take care of himself, inspired
by the successful completion of the
work in the law school.
There is belief that few sons follow
in their fathers footsteps in the matter
Of choosing professions That may or
may not be due to the tendency too
many men have OF deprecating their
own work, Of saying. My son won't
follow my profession if | can help it,"
The really big men do not say that.
Some of our best lawyers. physicians
and preachers have had fathers in
their own respective lines of work.
Perhaps if the others took themselves
more seriously and strove harder for
success they would be proud to hand
down to their sons examples of good
work done for emulation by the jun
iors.
1t is safe to say, think, that Willis
Hickam does not '.knock" the law as
means of gaining a livelihood and an
honorable place among men. He is too
much engrossed in the career of his
son AS we'll as in his own.

IN SCHOOL WITH HIS SON.

Willis Hickam. lawyer, Of Spencer,
Ind, has been graduated from the law
school Of Indiana university in the
same class as his son. Hubert Hickam.
Thirty years ago the elder man was a
student ID the institution. but the school
was disbanded before he finished his
course. He studied elsewhere. was adj
mitted to the bar and became a sue
cessful practitioner. When his son be
came old enough to enter the college
Hickam entered with him to complete
his course.

man and his father stud VIM and work

u It is perhaps a trite figure of speech
to say that we are all students in iife's
school. But it is true, and the man
who said 6rst-it was many centuries
While live learn had the
right idea.
Who can say that Hickam and his
son have not learned to know each 9th

been Ii the law school Porting over
the same books. working out the same
problems. the younger man cannot
have failed to develop a greater feeling

THE DOLL PEACEMAKER.

From the Apache country comes an
interesting tale. 1t tells how, many
years ago, band Of Apaches went on
on the reservation. But they went
back willingly when persuaded of the
white mans good intentions. and this
is how it came about:
The soldiers found stray Indian
kiddie. a papoose. and brought her to
the encampment. Too young to have
the adult Indians stoicism, she cried
and could not be soothed until she was
given white child's doll to play with.
Several days later the Indian baby.
still grasping her dolly. was sent back
to act as peacemaker. Her mother
would not let her keep the hated
white child's toy. but took her and it
back to the post to return the doll.
Then the mother In turn was received
hospita bly,, and thus peace was made.
All through doll. And probably a
rag doll at that. since French dolls
were scarce in Arizona years, ago.
Under the Indians red skin beats
the same kind of heart as that which
pulsates In the white mans breast
Get under the skin and you get to
the real man. The Apache was CRATE
full for the kindness shown to his baby
and his baby's mother.
Some of the old Indian fighters. who
remember the days of Geronimo and
his bloodthirsty, cruel, treacherous
braves. may scott at the story. But 1t
happened just so.
Can't you see the poor little lost red
skin eying the palefaces suspiciously
with her big black eyes. but holding
on for grim death to the pretty dolly?
Can't you hear the vail she set up
when her mother told her sternly she
must give up her ''baby'-that white
folks dolls and white folks ways
were not for her?
1t makes ones heart feel for the poor
little Indian kid Happily for us and
for the Indians better days have come
along what used to be the frontier.
There is no more frontier. and there IS
no more Indian fighting Please God,
there never will be any more:
