Back To Yesterday

Oh, barefoot boy, sometime you'll go
Back down the road to Yesterday,
To live again in youths bright time,
Enjoy childhood's happy play.
When once you're grown you'll travel
back
To days that now seem commonplace;
Your childhood, viewed thru distant
years,
Will then contain an added grace.
The swimming hole, where call the
boys
Repair as soon as school is out;
The brook, with trees along its brink,
Where you have often fshed for trout
All these will have an added charm
When once you have become man,
And have outgrOwn each childish thing.
So then enjoy them while you can.
And make this time as free from flaws
AS ever you have power to do;
Be careful of each word and deed;
That they be just and kind and true.
So when you wander back again
Upon fond Mem rvs fairy wings,
You'll find here nothing to regret,
But meet with only pleasant things.

Papeete, the capital of the French posses
sions in the South Pacific Ocean, is situated
on the island of Tahite; longitude 149 de-
grees west, latitude, II degrees 80 minutes
south, and owing to its exceptionally good
harbor and docking facilities, the port is
one of the leading commercial centers of
the South Seas. The harbor is protected
from heavy seas by coral reef that forms
a natural breakwater. The reef lies about
1900 yards from the docks and is about
1900 yards long, extending northeast and
southwest. Entrance to the harbor is
gained by an opening in the reef. The
opening while rather wide in appearance,
has navigable channel that is but $50 yards
wide, and depth at food tide of about
fortv-fve feet.
The risk of passing through this opening,
is greatly reduced by large number of
lights and channel marks, maintained by
the government. Inside the harbor and
short distance to the north or left of the
entrance are four small islands, each OF
which is fortified. The larger of these is
lands, Motu Utai by name, has small
wharf, but owing to the shallow water only
vessels of very light draught can use the
wharf for loading or discharging cargo.
On what might be called the mainland,
and facing the harbor entrance stands
fort, which for its small size is very we'll
equipped. On the east side of this fort
runs the Tipaerui River, while on the west
side there is the Milimitiamia River-it
must have been native of Russian Poland
that named these two waterways, for they
both have such jaw-breaking names. Both
of these rivers flow through what is called
Queens Valley, and empty into the harbor
at the west end of the city. A large sea
wall extends along the water front for
nearly the whole length of the city. The
docks, while not covering great deal of
ground, are we'll kept and we'll equipped
for handling cargo. Several large electric
ally-driven derricks being used for that
purpose.
The streets of Papeete are we'll paved and
kept in very good condition. One street
in particular, is that which borders
the grounds enclosing the government
buildings. This street, or boulevard, for
such it really is,-starts one block from the
waterfront and extends southwark to
small settlement called St. Amelie. 1t is
very wide and well paved. On each side
are large shade trees. On the east side of
the street and several blocks distant from
the waterfront is a large park in which are

How did Franklin make himself so effec-
tive man? How did he succeed where
others failed? The secret lies in his practi-
cal philosophy of life. Fortunately he be-
queathed that secret to us in the maxims
which he composed for his own guidance
during his voyage back to America from
England when he was twenty-five years of
age. The pithy phrases are full of vitality
to-day.
World-wise, these maxims; but sound
rules of conduct. Franklin was no dodder-
ing Polonius, looking for advantage where
others could have none. He was worldly
wise, but he employed his worldly wisdom
to serve not only himself but his friends,
his neighbors, and finally his country.

Lord, let me live like Regular Man.
With Regular friends and true,
Let me play the game on regular
plan,
And play it that way all through;
Let me win or lose with a regular
smile
And never be known to whine,
For that is Irregular Fellows" style
And | want to make it mine!
o give me regular chance in life,
The same as the rest pray,
And give me regular girl for wife
To help me along the way;
Let us know the lot of humanity,
Its regular woes and joys,
And raise re gular family
Of regular girls and boys!
Let me live to regular good old age,
With regular snow-white hair,
Having done my labor and earned my
wage
And played my game for fair;
And SO at last when the people scan
My face on its regular bier,
They'll say, "Well he was a Regu-
lar Mani
And drop regular tear!

Proud Memories

Cold must be the heart of that American
who is not proud to claim as countrymen
the flower of the Virginia youth who
charged up the slippery slope of Gettysburg
with gallant Picket or those unconquerable
men in blue who through two long and
dreadful days rallied around heroic Thomas,
1.-THE Rock OF Chickamauga.
1t was not Southern valor or Northern
valor. 1t was, thank God, American val
or; that valor which caused our Revolu-
tionary fathers to throw their gage of battle
into the face of the son of hundred kings;
that valor which animated Washington at
Princeton, Brandywine, Monmouth and
Yorktown; that valor which upheld his
famished men amid the unspeakable horrors
of Valley Forge; that valor which sus-
tanned the soldiers who followed Arnold on
that cruel winters march through the
woods of Canada and the Christmas storm
ing of Quebec, where Montgomery fell i'm
mortal; that valor which nerved Andrew
Jackson and his raw militia on the ever
glorious 9Th of January when they humbed
to the very dust the towering pride of that
mighty monarchy upon whose dominions
the sun never sets and utterly routed the
veterans of the peninsula who had snatched
from Napoleon's brow the iron crown of
Charlemagne; that valor which at Buena
Vista, Churubusco and Chapultepec filled
the world with its renown; that valor which
wrote Davy Crockett's name above Leo
Midas and made the Alamo another shrine
for freedom; that valor which begirts this
land as with wall of fire, forbidding the
nations of the earth to touch the ark of
American liberty lest they die.-Speaker

OAK PARK WINS IN EASY FASHION
Home Team Weak in Stick
Work
BY "Bobbles''

Inability to hit, coupled with in.
different work as whole was re-
sponsible for the loss of this game.
Strike-outs galore! We do not
concede either, any great amount of
class to the opposing slabmen. The
errors of the home team, too, are
generally costly and quickly taken
advantage of. Fan of the M. S. Prs
had perfect record at bat with
four hits out of as many trips to the
plate, batting in two runs and scor-
ing like number. The Oak Parks
had little trouble solving our pitch
ers' delivery in the early part of the
game. We are still of the opinion
that the M. S. Prs can play whole
lot better ball than they have shown
lately and think they are about due
to take a brace. Lack of space pre-
vents detailed description of the
game.

PORT OF PAPEETE
A Description of the Capital City Of the French
Possessions in the South Pacific
By Mr.. NJ.

the government buildings. These build
ings like nearly all of the large buildings
in Papeete are built of a red stone that is
quarried just outside the city. persist in
calling Papeete city while in reality it is
but small town, if one is to Judge by its
population.
The population is said to be about six
thousand and consists mostly of French
and Tahitians. The natives are as a rule
rather handsome. The men being tall and
well proportioned, while the woman have
very fine facial features and graceful
carriage.
The principal export of Papeete>are
copra, spices and fruits. The imports are
mostly manufactured goods. Pearl fishing
is carried on in small way, but as yet has
never proved profitable industry. The
manual labor of the port is done chiefly by
the natives. Many of them, however, are
engaged in the various trades carried on in
the city.
The business houses are spread out on
or near the waterfront. There also, are
the consulates of the various nations
each with its tall flagstaff and national flag.
A short distance outside the city may be
seen Catholic Mission while in the city
there is very fine cathedral
One interesting feature on the outskirts
of the city, is an old wall, that was built to
turn the Papeava River from its natural
channel. This wall is some 1900 yards
long and by its use the river which origi-
nally flowed west through the city now
flows north around the city. Papeete has
three watering places, the most popular
being the one near Fareute Point. Here
is long stretch of beach covered with
black sand which has been firmly packed
by the action of the waves. A short dis
lance back of the city are mountains,
some of which rise to a height of 1000
feet above the sea. At a point 235 feet
above the sea there is an observatory and
signal station and trip to the observatory
is we'll worth while, for one may get a fine
view of the Pacific Ocean and also enjoy
some very beautiful sunsets.
The valleys among the hills near Papeete
support a large number of farms the greater
part of which are owned by French colon
lists. The soil is very fertile and owing
to the warm and equable climate almost
any spices or vegetation will thrive. The
natives, however, do not take very read lily
to farming but with help and inducements
offered by the government it is hoped to
overcome this obstacle in time.

On Thinking Glad

Never mind a change of scene
Try change of thinking.
What if things seem sordid, mean,
What the use of blinking?
Lies not always storm and cloud,
Somewhere stars are shining.
Try to think your joys out loud,
Silence all repining.
BY degrees, by thinking light,
Thinking glad and sweetly,
You'll escape the stress of night,
Worry gone completely.
Get the habit, looking for
Sunbeams pirouetting.
Tapping gayly at your door
Surest cure for fretting.
Needn't fool yourself at all,
For there's no denying
Fen above prison wall
Song and bird are a-hying,
Wherefore hearken to the song,
Never mind the prison,
And you'll find your soul ere long
Unto freedom rizen.

By Uncle John

ga man who has no enemies, has no
friends" is true saying.
Several new members were added to the
choir during the week.
If a book agent had to read all the books
he sells, he would not have time to sell any.
Why is it that every one is always sus-
picious of the poor man who tries to help
himself.
A very big majority of people simply live
BY the fruits and hard work of others.
A woman always looks before she leaps
that is if she is close to a mirror.
Wonder if we will ever have chance TO
read the history of the present war in Europe.
If some men had half as much sense as a
horse one could almost call them intelligent.
1t is strange but true that money will al
ways help the man who tries to help himself.
1t is mighty good thing that we can
think just what we please or choose without
being detected.
Christian Science Services were held in
the Auditorium last Sunday morning and
as usual were we'll attended.
1t is good thing that each man is not
permitted to make his own weather, else we
would have something to worry about.
Too bad our little umpire was not present
last Saturday, he and Dugan would sure
have had some fun.
The Orchestra boys furnished the inmates
at the hospital with some lively music during
the week, which was appreciated by all.
The only time woman is happy is when
she can spend all the money she wants for
clothes-and ribbons for Fido.
A good many visitors from the city were
in our park last Saturday. They enjoyed
the game just as much as we did.
No wonder Saltwater has the most popular
mayor in the state; he is not too proud to
come and mingle with the boys and even
umpire their baseball game.
Do not forget to 60 to Confession next
Saturday. Several priests will be present who
understand different languages; SO there is
no excuse for not going on that account.
Professor johnson of Minneapolis came
down last Sunday morning with his choir of
twenty selected voices and rendered several
selections during the service which were very
much appreciated.
The overtime work in the Irvine plant will
come to an end June first. Over one hundred
men will find steady employment in other
departments where men are needed. So don t
worry boys, you will be sure of a job.
Last Wednesday evening we had the
pleasure of witnessing once more, four
reel "Mack Sonnet feature entitled 'The
Submarine Pirate" The lead was taken
by sgd Chaplin brother of the redoubt-
able "Charie'' and he certainly upheld the
family reputation. 1t was a fine entertain
ment and judging from the applause given
was enjoyed by all. During the perform
ance the Orchestra favored us with several
selections.

Realized Wishes

At first l used to wish and wish
For things | never got.
But now I've turned my wishing

Until I've only one wish left
wish the same for you.

Smile

Like bread without the spreadin',
Like puddin' without sauce,
Like mattress without beddin',
Like cart without boss,
Like door without latchstring,
Like fence without stile,
Like dry an barren creek bed,
Is face without a smile!
Like house without dooryard,
Like yard without flower,
Like clock without handspring,
That will never tell the hour;
A thing that sort O. makes yo' feel
A hunger all the while
Oh, the saddest sight that ever was
Is face without smile!
The face of man was built fer smiles,
An thereby is he blest
Above the critters of the field,
The birds and all the resi-;
He's jest little lower
han the angels In the skies,
An the reason is that he can smile;
Therein his glory lies!
So smile an don't fergit to smile,
An smile an smile ag in;
Twill loosen up the cords O. care,
An ease the weight O sin;
Twill help yo' on the longest road,
An cheer yo' mile by mile;
An so, whatever is your lot,
Jes' smile, an smile, an smile!
