CAMP CONE WILD
OVER NEW STRIKE.

That the news of the Chisana
strike is far reaching is evidenced
from the fact that everyone who
can get away is as busy as a dog
scratch ng fleas Alec Mclean, of
Fairbanks creek, states that at leas;
30 men are leaving that creek alone
for the new digeings and that the
end is not yet. The same rep rts are
received from the other creeks and
it would seem from present indica-
ions that not enough people will
be left i'll the camp to wad a shot

or1ckiayers must mix sand and cement.
carpenters must make doors and win.
COW frames; painters, tinsmiths. plumb
ers, steam6tters, all must take their
turns before the building Is completed.
The lessons OF the students stand In
cement, brick and plaster, In wood
work, tin and iron. Theories learned
In classroom these tradsemen apply Al
the building. and the facts gained at
the building they carry to the class
room.
The facts are considered as valuable
as theories. Things are ranked with
books Each student has his work in
the life Of this great family, and every
student must carry q vocation away
with him.
This Is the system Of Hampton The
boy or young man who comes TO the
school with scanty knowledge Of the
three Rs and geography. with scantier
funds, II possessed Of credentials and
character, Is given q chance. he must
win his spurs before he can choose his
hfe's work or begin training as farmer,
teacher or tradesman.
Few boys enter with sufficient knowl-
edge or funds to begin their work for
life vocation Yet no boy Is turned
away from Hampton because Of his
poverty. A year on the large farm, a
year In the Office or on the grounds Of
Hampton for the boys or a year in
laundry and Kitchens for the girls. with
careful coaching at night In reading,
composition. arithmetic and geography,
gains the funds and academic standards

hours Of work and study are crowded
into the lives Of blIcksmithS and car
penters. five days of the week. The
day which Is hailed as holiday or half
holiday in other schools. at Hampton
is called ''wOrkday"
Upon this day all boys and girls are
given work outside their shops or fixed
positions in kitchen or laundry to help
them further in earning their way
through the school. At Hampton It Is
a punishment to deprive one Of work,
for there all useful work is a means of
support and advance.

toll on there, make money, build a de-
cent cottage and rear a family.
The children finish in the graded
school The mother urges the "old
man. to send them away to the north.
In the north the dazzle and dash of the
life at its height are too much for them
They are delighted, yea, intoxicated
They never return to the quiet little
cottage on the farm; hence the story
of three generations is woven into this
music and interpreted to the audience
by a band, an orchestra and a glee
club.
Not altogether unfit is the student
band for the mission which the former
Illinois bandmaster sets for himself
Many Of these students are raw re-
cruits fresh from the farms, villages
and homes where life Is daily enacted
as Captain Smith seeks TO stage IL
Though the task Of drilling them into
musicians is a hard one they never
theless bring to their instruments an
understanding OF and sympathy with
the life OF their music They are not
musicians by trade and never win be;
they are fifty Of the 1.5O0 students who
come yearly TO the school for trades OF
one kind or another and who pick up
music incidentally.
The present tour is the third one OF
the kind the band has taken and BY
far the most ambitious. Those pre-
vious were satisfied with twenty. thir-
ty or forty stops In each case the
manager, ]. D. Stevenson. has had re-
peated demands to extend his tine and
journey. On this trip he Is sndeayor-

She lures in earnest mood or fun,
In silk or lawn or calico.
Her spell to some unique may seem.

And on each fond one she would beam
As though but him she could adore
Her life stern morallsts might ban

But her admirers never can
Quite free themselves from her cd

And to a soldiers love respond
