hear of them all from his father.
and of how he wasn't brave enough
at least, he didn't dare. A few
days later l went to distant COM
munity, far away from the college
tmosphere, to lecture, and when l
was about to leave the father came
and said, 81 need to speak to my
son about the best l know. and the
best l hope, and the largest prob
lens l wonder about and puzzle
over Yet l did not. l am not
brave enough. The father felt that
he would give his fortune, all he
had, to be able to speak to his
son, as he needed to do. Then l
asked again the name to be sure
the relationship between those two
condolences was not fancied. Be-
hold, it was the father of the son.
If you were the father | might
quote other words, but you who
read this pare are the son. If only
the son had known the above in
functions to do them, how happy
freshman he might have been.

thee, thine elders and they will

have been avoided. What a JOY

Glen Miller
Is Popular
For Outings

Everybody likes to think of the
Glen these hot days, and better
still be out there, but how many of
you have seen these things when
you have been out there?
There are five new little ducks
that live in the cages with the
pigeons and the only thing they
have to swim in is a long flat pan,
and guess what they do? First they
put their dirty little feet right in
it and they they drink out of it.
And have you ever noticed the two
holes in the big ducks bill -? They
are close to the top, and in the lit
tie ducks bills these holes are just
tiny little brown specks.
In this same row of cages there
was a little mouse the other day
that kept trying to get certain
piece of grain in the middle of the
parrots cage, but every time he
would run out towards it the old
parrot would squack at him and
scare the poor mouse so badly that
he would run back and hide under
a board again.
And then the monkeys are al
ways doing such funny things, but
the other day one of them got a
match somehow and accidentally
scratched it so that it caught fire
and lighted piece of paper. And
you should have seen that poor
monkey. He didn't know what had
happened.

''B00" Guards Station House
While Men Fight With Fires

boo" is the brindle bulldog that
lives down on North Eighth street
and keeps as close a watch on the
fire engine house as the firenen
themselves. When any telephone
call comes to the station, Boo
knows that special ring from any
other in the neighborhood and is
on the spot at once. But when the
horses dash out he nearly goes wild
with excitement Although he
would like to go to the fires with
the wagon he only accompanies the
men for square or two. and then
returns to guard the engine house
until the men return. If any one
tries to enter while they are away,
Boo is ready to fight. He surely is
the pet of No. hose house.

Hiking Club
in Two Groups

The River Dale Hiking Club is
divided into two groups which take
long tramps on alternate Satur-
days. Last week the section Of
which Charles Ryle is member
hiked to Hagerstown with Mr.. Mel
polder, returning on the hack. but
Charles was so enthused over his
military attainment in taking such
long march that he wrote to his
brother in Chicago to send him a
regular khaki inform which he
now wears from morning to night,
much to the envy of all the other
fellows.

Did you ever feel the lack of
this: of cOmradeship in the highest
things between father and son?
There is story Of how God said
to the Israelites that they must
talk to their children about the
best things, they knew. which In
thir case happened to be the his
tory of past dealings. Your father
probably will tell you about pres
ent dealings; what they are in some
cases. what they may be or ought
to be in others. Christian usually
do find today the best in all his
tory.
The Israelites placed this history
upon the door posts and bound it
upon their foreheads and in other
ways made tokens.
The days of such picturesque in
StructiOns and comradeship in high
things has passed. Indeed the train
ing in moral things is often very
matter-of-fat, is it not? And do
you plan to compel the fathers to
bring about the reform alone?
Here is the text: ASK thy ia
Their and he will show thee, thine
elders and they will tell thee
Deut. xxxii:7. The father only
speaks AFTER the son has asked.
What are the technical parts of

Dickinson Bank
Has Big Door

The new Dickinson Trust Bank
has some of the most interesting
features. The safe has the most
huge door you ever can imagine. 1t
is round and white. and fastened
with ever so many big brass bolts
that are SO heavy that even a
grown man said he couldn't muscle
one of them And in this door is a
little clock that is fixed somehow
so that the safe will never unlock
until a certain hour in the morn
ing. SO after the door is shut. no
one. not even the President, can
open it until the next day.
And another thing different is
the way they get their fresh air.
There is a room in the cellar just
meant for letting in the good, clean
air and then the current passes
through spray of cold water, so
that when the air comes up into
the rooms it is as cool and pure as
it can be.

But the other day it was funny;
the men had a friend visiting down
there, and, of course, they wanted
to show their mascot. Some Of

jumped around and parked, looking

the men, and then at the doors;
and then he sort of whined and

Dear Folks:

lear folks.
You remember about the 1876
club banquet that was held down
at the Y. M. G. A. the last of June,
don't you? l wish every single one
OF you could have been there, not
only to see all the interesting
things that happened. but to get the
spirit of the men who were there,
so that when you grow up you can
be in the big worthwhile move
ments. too.
The main part of the program
was about the long distance tele-
phoning. There were two real tele-
phones on one of the big long
tables and when the different men
talked they went there. But FOR
all the rest Of us, there was little
round receivers all fastened to lcng
wires that went all down the five
I. long tables and around the gallery
SO that everybody could have one
And then we heard the men t TX
to New York and say, Hello New
York. and they would say. Hello.
Richmond" and then our man said
What time have you," and they
said about an hour faster than we
had, and our man said Thank you.
Hello. Chicago" Hello. Rich
mond." What time have your"
And the man told us just about the
same as we had, so our man said,
Thank you. Hello, Denver" and
that was the way they did until
finally they talked clear to Califor-
MIA, and then there were lots of
Richmond people there 50 they
talked quite a while. The people
out in California even played a VIC
trola record for us over the te,e-
phone. and we heard every note of
1t. And too. they had telephone
down by the seashore SO they let
us hear the roar of the waves.
But. folks. the thing l will re-
member longest about that ban
quet, Is that there were the men
of our city who are making it what
it Is. who stand for all the things
that are better and greater. men
who live in this age when things
are being done and who help to
do them. And, boys and girls, you
be with those people.
