HAYNES NOTES

Haines, Sept. 26.-Chafles A. Sul- Fer, Democratic candidate for dele gate to congress, addressed the peo- ple ot Haines last evening in the Arctic Brotherhood hall, and had a fair sized audience. He was in troduced 10 the audience by N. G. Hanson, and spoke for nearly two hours. There seemed to be lack Of enthusiasm on the part of his supporters, there being slight ap- Dlause when he arose to speak, and noLe at any time during his speech, put the applause was little heavier at the end Of his speech,
 The real burden of his speech seemed to te ia throwing mud at Judge WickeTsham, and if the Judge has any redeeming qualities what ever. they did not appear from his speech. Ha accused Wickersham of misrepresenting him, and said that he, Wlckersham, had lied on him. and would continue to do 30, but thst 8, Sulzer, could not prove them to be false. The thought oc- cured to your correspondent, that an honest confession is sometimes good for the soul, and that if her Sulzer, can not disprove what he claims to be falSb statments in regard to him, there must of neces sity be some truth in them. How ever, your correspondent thinks that Mr. Sulzer did quite a good deal of kicking unnecessarily, for he is cer- taIniy Rot able to say what Judge Wickersham is going to say about him; and there is another thing a bout it, and that is this, that de- usgBl ST pusQ eIoJeQ 5uIql 5 7Ufu as an admission that the thing may be true. .,,r @I@I.N

LINcoLN's BOOK FRIENDS.

A few fine books, well known, like
a few fine friends, are worth more
than many mere acquaintances. The
Bible, Aesops Fables, Robinson Cru
soc" and "Pilgrim's Progress" were
Abraham Lincoln's real friends. He
used to lie on the floor and laugh
over the Arabian Nights" When his
stepmother saw that books meant a
great deal more to him than they did
to any of her own children, she took
particular care as she said, mot
to disturb him till he quit of his own
accord" She honored his private
bookcase between the logs next to
his bed, and the big fires he used to
build to read by at night. She knew
that he carried book out to the fields
so that he could read while his horse
was resting, and often she would find
him copying out, with his turkey-buz-
gard pen and brier-root ink, some fav-
orite part to remember. "a boy like
that deserves to have"h his chance" she
would say to herself.

BEING A "BoHEMlAN."

The idea that an aspirant for lit
erary or artistic success must win
publicity as the initial step toward
recognition is responsible for certain
affectations in dress and manner
which others find amusing, but which
those who affect them ascribe to their,
Bohemian tastes" 1t was perhaps
Du Maurier's three musketeers of
the brush" whose carefree, unconven-
tional life in the Quarter Latin gave
birth to the thought behind the word,
which is associated in the modern
mind with late hours, Dutch lunches,
long hair and spaghetti. Bohemian"
is also much in favor with young peO-
pie who wish to appear sophisticated
and who regard freedom of speech
respecting themes not usually dis
cussed in public as evidences of intel
lectual independence. Whatever the
original Interpretation of the word it
now seems to apply to a set of pos
eurs who seek to get in the spotlight
through affected eccentricities, and
who hope these may be mistaken by
the hoi polloi for manifestations of
temperamentally erratic genius. They
expect Bohemian" to excuse sloven-
illness in dress, rude manners, and

PROVIDING A TARGET.

With the spread of overland auto
touring the milepost and budapest
are coming back into a prominence
that is reminiscent of stage coach
days. The leading problem of coun-
tries, states and auto associations in
this line is the development of a
signpost that will stand up under the
abuse it almost invariably gets. One
of the newest designs was developed
by a prize contest in Illinois. The
prize-winning design calls for a post
which is built of concrete throughout.
Another concrete post which is finding
favor has even the names of towns
and distances in concrete letters. In
the West much damage is done by
hunters and others, who shoot the
signboards full of holes. The newest
post in this region has it's directions
on one board, and a target specially
painted on another, with the adjura-
ton, IF you must shoot, shoot here!''

MUST KEEP SUCCESS IN MIND.

Success, to be achieved in reality,
must be mentally lived for months,
sometimes for years, before it ar
rives. Napoleon, with his dreams of
power and conquest, realized them
more fully than any other man. Je-
anne dare, with her dreams of free
ing her country and setting her king
on his rightful throne, accomplished
her desires through the very force
and strength of her thoughts To her
it was the sole object of her life; her
mind knew of no other project but
that which the spiritual voices had
hidden her pursue.
We could cite hundreds of instances
in history, but unless you are dis
posed to believe the truth of the pow
er of mind you would be no more con-
WINGED than you are now. Look about
you at the cases where good luck
seems to have attended the efforts of
wellknown workers of today. You
will find in practically every instance
that the person who reaches his goal
is the one who works, to be sure. but
with no other idea than success in his
mind Nothing daunted by petty dis
couragements or setbacks, he goes
right on, having no doubt in the end
he will achieve success. And he usu.
ally does.

not infrequently laxity in morals. But
there was no pose about Du Mauriers
musketeers; they were earnest, sin
cere and clean.
Mrs. Mary Robert Rinehart, her
self successful author, especially
reprehends "Bohemianism, declaring
those who assume it ''have everything
of creative art but the substance"
and that those who really do creative
work ARE totally un-Bohemian. F"
''The real workers are those who fos-
ter a sane and normal family life, live
cleanly, and do their work quietly
at home" She says frankly that New
York, with it's stimulus, it's poseurs,
it's night life, it's artificiality, it's dis,
torted views, 'has killed more writer's
than it has made"
This is quite within reason. Men
and women who are sincere in their
aims and pursue them earnestly have
no time for a pseudo Bohemianism
They cannot waste their hours and
stupefy their brains-which are their
working captain designations, even
of harmless sort. Looking at life
through the bottom of a glass is a
weak source of inspiration.

MAGELLAN WAS A FERVENT
CATHOLIC.

The first circumnavigator or the
globe, Fernando Magellan, was fer
vent Catholic. He was a true lover
of discovery. From boyhood his life
was spent upon the sea, in the fleets
of Portugal, says a writer in Exten-
sion Magazine. In his first great voy-
age he sailed from San Lucar with a
fleet of five small vessels and crew
of two hundred and thirty-siX sailors.
He set sail under the flag of Spain
at the instance of Cardinal Ximenes,
on September 20, 1919.
Magellan spent the winter at Pata-
gonia, and discovered TERRA del
Fuego on October II, 1920. He was
the first European navigator to sail
the grand Pacific. After sailing the
great ocean for three months and
eighteen days he discovered the Phil
ippine Islands Of the five ships and
two hundred and thirty-seven persons
leaving. Spain, only one ship and
eighteen sailors again touched it's
shores. In recognition of his discov-
cries in the southern hemisphere, the
great double nebula near Campus is
called for him the Magellanic clouds.

baby, and the very thought of pulling
her along over the ice made him frisk
with joy. Squirming around in his
harness he managed to get his fore
paws on the box and to give baby's
pink cheek friendly lick.
Baby is topheavy and Prince is
quite weight himself Also the box
was not fastened to the sled; so be-
fore you could think twice, over it
went and baby, Prince and the box
were all mixed up on the ground.
Baby thought it was great fun and
shouted with glee, but Robert flew

him by the collar and shook him

be cruel and cowardly when he gets
into one of his tantrums. The ball

Fred Donovan, who took his cassock
by mistake.
A boy with bad temper that he
makes no effort to control is not fit

harm yet" the neighbors say
Somebody will get back at him one OF

coULD-RE EDISoNs.

The world is full of would-be Edi-
out is that quite lot of them are
could-be Edisons.
A man invented the stocking frame
for weaving silk stockings. He got
the idea while he sat watching his
wife work. But surely he wasn't the
first man who sat and watched his
wife work?
There is a huge fortune for the
man who can commercialize weeds.
The raw material is ineXhaustible, for
it renews itself automatically every
year. 1t might pay reader in the
paper making trade to follow up this
idea.
Then we want paint that will
last as long as the material upon
which it is placed, and an iron that
won't rust. We want something that
will counteract the wearing effect of
the atmosphere. It's going to be in
vented some day, and it may as we'll
be done now, and you who read this
may as well be the person to do it.
In some remote corner of the earth
today a could-be Edison may be eX-
perimenting with the possibilities of
cities on the sea. There are millions
of square miles of water that are
more or less wasted, and sooner or
later, as the land area of the earth
becomes crowded, people will newt
ably take to cities on the sea.
Come little nearer home. Get
your children's toys together, you
man with the eyes-open habit, and
see if you can't see something worth
while. The walking figure-can't you
make it walk more walky? The WOOL
ly lamb-can't you make its bleat
more bleaty?

ILLITERATE USE 5000 WORDS.

The Chautauqua Magazine said a
Few years ago: 1T is estimated that
an English farm hand has a vocabu-
larry limited to 300 words. An Ameri-
can workman who reads the newspa-
pers may command from 700 to 1000
words. Five thousand is large num-
Der, even for an educated reader or
speaker" This differs considerably
from the statement published in a re-
Gently compiled English encyclopedia,
which states that lit has been reck-
oned that the agricultural laborer uses
have a vocabulary of 1000 WordS,
about 1900 words, but this is probably
an over-estimate. Intelligent artisans
while educated persons are familiar
with, if they do not use, 5000 to TO-
900 words" This is a step forward
all along the line, but it is long dis
lance from DR.. Joseph Jacobs discov-
cries. In a recent review, Doctor
Jacobs said that the average we'll
educated American or Englishman
can control from 10000 to $4,000
words. But given an individual with
a vocabulary of 10000 primitive
words, it is simple matter for him
to increase his stock of words by the
use of prefXes and suffiXes. From four
to six derivatives may be formed by
the use of these from nearly every
primitive word. If proper names be
added to either of these totals 100000
to 100000, they might yield total of
$4,000 to 10000 terms, says the New
York Times.
The foregoing facts seem to war
rant these general conclusions: Every
well-read person of fair ability and
education will be able to define or to
understand as used nearly or quite,
perhaps, more than $4,000 words. And
the same person in conversation and
writing will command not fewer than
$4,000 to 10000, and can add 5000 to
10000 to these numbers if he is liter
arily inclined. The plain people, as
Lincoln liked to call them, used to
read understandingly from 5000 to
10000 words, according to their gen.
eral intelligence and conversational
power, while a person who cannot
read but who has a good degree of
native mental ability, will command
about 5000.
