A. rider needs n strong hand and a

the New York Sun. The rates are SIS
for two hours, and the horses have be-
come so accustomed to going one hour
out and one back that when the first
hour Is reached and the rider does not
turn back toward the stable his horse
insists upon doing 1t for him.
Beyond this first hour, If the rider
still wishes mistakenly or extrava-
gantly to ride still farther away from
the stable, he will have to fight his
horse every twenty-five or thirty yards
as the horse attempts TO turn back,
and there will be no further Joy in the
ride. If he complains to the manager

a woman, a stranger to him, had called
him by telephone stating that she had
seen two men board an automobile on
tho Rye road. just south of Minnequa
lake, and believed that they had at
tackled the occupants of the car.
Police were dispatched to the scene
of the alleged attack and found an
empty pocket book lying along side
the road with papers in it bearing the
name of Charles Howard, of San Car
los, Colo.
Papers strwen along the road indi-
Gated that "a struggle had ensued and
that attackers might have fled from
the scene of a robbery with the pocket
book, finally discarding it after re-
moving anything of value.
Police were unable to lind the trace
of an automobile and up until a late
hour last night had not received the
report OF a robbery.
John Snider, 2oi2 Routt avenue, re-

sian bourgeoisc are unready: they
do not know how TO take care of
themselves in even the simplest
ways. Their spirit is brave and op-
timistic, but the least of the Armen-
ian peasants was better able to shift
for himself during tho deportations
than these high Russian Officers and
their families. The particular black.
ness OF the outlook of the Russian
aristocracy consists in its being unfit
for the emergencies of stern world.
All these incidents but echo the
Lessons primary warning. II is a
word that comes with peculiar
solemnity TO parents and teachers.
To be ready and alert for life, and
whatever it may bring, is the only
reasonable attitude of youth. Old
fashioned pioneer efficiency and self
resourcefulncss, which made nations
out of this North American wilder
ness, are qualities suprcmely needed
IN our slack and careless times. Too
many of us arc more Interested in
the pay envelope than in the job. 1t
is said that the swarm of placc-scck-
crs swooping down dpon the new
administration at Washington is
simply overwhelming. Men want to
attach themselves to a sure payroll,
rather than to face the struggle of
life.
Really strong personalities do not
want safe and easy positions: they
ask only fair chance to serve the
world for reasonable return. The
