Blackwell. of the Methodist church. likened che training which Juneau young people are getting at school to the sharpening oi woodman's axe, and to bear out his figure he recalled his own experience as boy in the oregon woods, telling how he carried in his pocket a small whetstono in or der that he might put little extra edge on his axe during the course of the day Going further with the ana logy he related a fishing experience on the Columbia river during the trout season, and went on to say that although the little rattlesnake line which he had used with such success that day-and many others-was still in his possession. as it had been for some pine years or more. he would not think of using it today if he were after rainbow trout be- cause its strength had deteriorated
 Mr. Blackwell laid special empha- sis on the importance of having sui hcient equipments wide.awake brain and sharp one-as well as having that essential ability to "stay with a thing be able to hold on to pos sition once achieved.
 The speaker recognized the all too strong tendency for boys and girls to drop school before they have had an opportunity to equip themselves for anything more than the very im- mediate demands of life and warned The Juneau students against the dam gers of leaving school too soon.

HATES LONG.TAILED COATS

Senator Norris of Nebraska never
wears a long-tailed coat. He hates
long-tailed coats. One day he was
asked why and he told this story:
When he attended college years
ago at Baldwin university, in Berea,
o., Norris and q little crowd of stu
dents one night conceived a merry
prank. On the college campus was a
towerlike building on which some re-
pairs were being made. A large
quantity Of old lumber was piled up
on the top Of the tower. The student
comedians thought 1t would be pretty
rich to shove this lumber right over
the edge and hear 1t hit the ground
below.
They crawled into the building
through window. Two or three OF
the students wore cutaway coats,
which were considered the snappy
thing for varsity men in those days,
but they got through the window all
right, and with their combined
strength were able to heave over.
