"The boy who couldn't swim didn't
last long ON the Missouri river when
was boy" said Frank E. White,
grand secretary OF the Masons, "The
survival of the httest sure came into
play down around Plattsmouth when
we kids used to splash around in that
stream"
That was long before White had
picked Omaha as his future home.
That was long before he cared wheth-
er the Masons survived or perished.
That was long before he thought
much about anything except riding
driftwood down stream when the river
was high. This Was his favorite sport
as kid. 1t was the favorite sport of
all the boys at Plattsmouth back in
the '60's.
White was one of the best log rid
ers on the river. The boys waited
until the June rise for this sport. OF
course they could have practiced it at
other times, but there wasn't enough
danger to make it worth while. There
was no use banterng a boy to ride a
Omaha daily bee., 1917-04-29

the river, without getting ducking.
White was one of the Plattsmouth
boys who could do this.
Then he would walk back along the
sandbars, the long weary three miles
to find another raw broncho log to
conquer.
He might have ridden logs or the
River Don if his father had kept him
i'll England, but then the Don is a
mere piker compared TO the yellow
Missouri when the June rise is on.
Yes, it was in England that White,
now secretary of the grand lodge,
Ancient Free and Accepted Masons
OF Nebraska, was born. He was born
in 1857 at Doncaster within plain
sight of the classical ruins of Conis-
borough castle, that mighty round
tower of the Norman-Saxon struggles.
He was mere infant when his
parents took him in their arms and
sailed for America
He was very small boy when he
freighted across the plains to Denver
with his father in the COS. He drove
the oxen good part of the way while
his father kept his finger on the trig-
ger of the rifle watching for Indians.
The lad was too small to yoke the
oxen in the morning. but once he got
on the seat he could make the lead
ers sQuirm with "a pop of the bull
whip.
Again he hauled stone for the con-
struction OF the first capitol building
at Lincoln Later he was in the
grain business at PIattsmouth for
twenty years, and might be in that
business yet, were it not for the fact
that the building of railroads in Cass

county led the grain from his trade
territory to other markets.
The grain business in Plattsmouth
didn't need him very badly in 1898;
and about that time Grover Cleve-
land needed United States marshal
for Nebraska. White became the
presidents choice.
Four years suficed; for Mckinley
had another clicque of friends to re-
ward, and White had to step out.
Two years later a vacancy occurred
in the grand secretaryship Of the Ma
sons of Nebraska. and White was
given a tryout. He had been inter
ested i'll Masonry twenty-five years
before that, for he has been a Ma
sonic booster for forty years now.
For nearly four years he continued
to live at Plattsmouth, and then Oma-
ha attracted him. He couldn't stay
away any longer. He had long rec
ognized it as great city, but boy
hood ties had held him to Platt,-
mouth. In 1908 he slipped into Oma-
ha to stay. and to handle from here
his many duties in the Masonic work.
Mr.. White holds seven secretary
ships in Masonic orders. He is sec
retary of the Grand Lodge, Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons, secretary
of the grand chapter Royal Arch Ma

But street cars had come to stay and

he was always twice as much trouble
as bcioSc.
Hc was the principal carly pusher
for the Union Pacific railroad. He
pushed the bills through congress and
he broke ground for the railroad in
Omaha, December 2, 1868. When he
got this going he organized couple
of international banking houses to add
to his string, sold 10000 acres OF coal
land for Queen Christiania of Spain,
took another trip around the world,
and ran for the presidency of the
United States in his spare time.

Al Hallum OF the Richardson Drug
company, and Ralph Hayward, Bur-
lington freight agent. practice their
hobbies as team, They are neigh
bors. The hobby OF both is to trim
their lawns in thousand ways, Just
so as to be tinkering at them every
spare daylight moment at home. A
few days ago they had pickedeup the
last spear Of dry grass, and had
shaved their lawns down TO where
there was absolutely nothing left to
do. So both OF them marched over
to the home OF Dad" Weaver few
doors from their homes, and asked
ior work on the lawn. Weaver is
Hayward's dad-in-law. Weaver had
nothing for them to do on the lawn,
so they decided TO trim the trees.
They climbed the trees and worked
like wasps with saw, knife, axe and
hatchet. When they got down they
proposed to put Weavers back yard
into potatoes to furnish them some
hoeing to do this summer. Weaver's
back yard tract is twelve by fifty
feet in dimensions. They spaded it
up, and forced the dad-in-law TO furn-
ish seed potatoes, agreeing to give
him half the crop when It natures.
When it comes to hobbies, there is
none more thoroughly grounded than
one possessed by L. w. Wakeley,
general passenger agent Of the Bur
lington Railroad company. This
hobby is land and Mr.. Wakeley has
talked it in and out OF season for
more than twenty years.
While L. w. Wakeley delights in
quoting passenger rates aud outlining
yours, or eating a square meal, he
will quit any OF them to talk land,

pers and saw "You CAN succeed If
you WILL succeed. LUCK means
PLUCK"
Like all successful men, he was
born poor. In l84l, when he was Il
years old, he secured a position in
a grocery store in Massachusetts,.
From that he went on to still greater
heights and before he was 20 years
old he had organized a trans-Atlan-
:ic steamship line.
He went around the world five
times. He seemed to think this was
mos wonderful than all the fortunes
he made and railroads he built and
kings that he called by their first
names. He was always Dragging
about his trips around the world un-
til it got so that men would sneak
away when they saw his coming be-
cause they didn't want to hear any
more about his trips around the
world For instance, this is what he
said about one trip:
81 bulldozed the mikado in Japan,
frightened out of their wits the Chi
nese at Hong Kong, bewldered the
Maays at Singapore, ran over the
Singalese in Ceylon, drove the Arabs
crazy at Alden, astonished the Italians,
French, English and Irish in turn,
in rapid rush through Europe and
returned to the United States"
His first trip around took him two
years. Forty years later he made his
fifth trip in sixty days. This is one
of the rare cases on record where a
man has moved faster when he was
old than he did when he was young.
He wrote many books. However,
he never wrote a great history, like
the present work, for example. This
may have been because of his limited
education which consisted of three
months in country school. He
knew, no doubt, that historians must
be men of towering intellect.
