BALBOA DESERVES ALL HONOR
Deeds Of Great Spanish Adventurer
Never Can Be Forgotten In the
History Of the World.

In the list Of heroes dear to the
normal boy who loves courage and
adventure. will be found those intrep-
Id forelopers, Columbus and De Soto
and Balboa Columbus, finder OF
America; De Soto, discoverer Of the
Mississippi, and Balboa, who. from
that lone peak in Darien, looked down
upon the Pacific, and later claimed it
IN the name Of his Spanish master.
That was on September as, 1913, and
on September Is, 1918, the four hun
dredth anniversary Of the event, it is
proposed to have the first ship enter
the Panama canal. II this original
trip can be prolonged for four days
for Il may well be both pageant and
voyage 1.-The craft will reach the Pa
cifc on the anniversary OF the day,
according to the annals, when Balboa
strobe down the shining sands and
waded into the surf, waved his sword
over the sea as symbol Of It's future
vassalage to King Ferdinand.
A wild and dashing cavalier was
this Balboa, swashbuckler Of his
time, an adventurer OF many hair
breadth escapes, and finally the victim
Of an unjust persecution. The envi-
GUS mobiles who encompassed his
downfall are forgotten, the king he
honored is rarely recalled, the Span
ish dominion has passed from the
great ocean, but the name Of the dar-
ing pioneer, the resolute soldiers, the
fearless leader, lives on in history and
story, and will If all goes we'll, be
fttingIy linked with the completion
Of that masterpiece OF engineering
which joins ocean and ocean-the
ocean which he sailed and the ocean
which he found.

SAW HIS mistake
How Scion Of Rich Family Dis
covered That Money Would
Not Purchase Everything.
Rn eEoReE MuNsoN.

Though his family and friends had
disowned Richard Brewster when he
was sentenced to serve five years ia
the Alabama penitentiary for forgery,
he had still enough influence ia have
his escape made easy for him. At
twenty-five. the second son Of old
Peter Brewster, the millionaire, he
suddenly found himself bereft OF ev-
erything that meant life to him. For
three years he clerked in the war
den's Office, dreaming of the time
when he would be free once more. He
would obtain money from his puri-
tanical old father who had disowned
him, in spite of his threats; he knew
that he could blackmail him for twen-
ty thousand by threatening to publish
certain facts In the old mans early
history. For although Peter Brew
ster was the squarest man in Ala
bama, once, when he was young
maxwell, Richard had discovered
that slip, which had made the mill
lionaire indulgent to his sons weak
nesses until he crowned them with
forgery. Peter had never stolen or
forged; still, he could be made to
yield up twenty thousand, Richard
knew, for silence.
After three years the Brewster in
fIuence had waned with the change
Of governors, and Richard was taken
out of his easy berth and shipped on
to labor in the turpentine camp at
Parsing. There the horror of his po-
sition moved unwise friends Of his
father, who, acting without the old
mans knowledge. approached the
head warden with bribes The only
result was that fifty pound weight
was attached to Richards leg by a
chain. But others we're more Venal;
and SO it came about that Richard
Brewster found himself alone In the
woods, with two hours grace, and

RelIcIous Chickens.

MY little boy Frank, four years,
likes to lock the chickens in their
coop at night Lately he has had
me 30 with him, as he is little timid
about going out Of doors after dark.
One night last week he had driven the
chickens into the coop, and the little
chicks IN settling down for the night
were peeping Frank said: ooh.
