1t has been fifteen years and over
since Colonel Morrison put on his long
coat and high hat and started for the
money markets of the East, seeking
whom he might devour. At the close
of the eighties the Colonel and all his
tribe found that the stock of eastern
capitalists who were ready to pay
good prices for the fine shimmering
blue sky and bracing ozone Of the
West was running low. 1t was said
in town that the Colonel had come to
the end of his string, for not only
were the doors of capital closed to
him In the East, but newcomers had
stopped looking for farms at home.
There was nothing to do but to sit
down and swap jack-knives with other
land agents, and as they had taken
most Of the agencies for the best in
surance companies while the Colonel
was on dress parade, there was moth
ing left for him to do but to run for
justice Of the peace, and, being elect
ed, do what he could to make his |
tenure for life.
Though he was elected, more out |
of gratitude for what he had tried to |
do for the town than because people
thought he would make fair Judge,
he got no further than his office In
popular esteem. He did not seem to
wear well with the people in the daily
run and jostle Of life. During the
forty years he has been in our town,
he has lived most of the time apart
from the people-transacting his bust
ness In the East or locating strangers
On new lands. He has not been one

caused him to thrust a toe over the

those things Of which the town Is
really proud: our schools the college,
the municipal ownership of electric
lights and waterworks. the public
library, the abolition Of the saloon,
and all of the dozen small matters of
public interest In which good citizens
take a pride. Colonel Morrison was
living his grand life, in his tailor
made clothes, while his townsmen
our town the substantial place 1t is.
So in his latter days he is old Alpha
betical Morrison, a man apart from us.
We like him well enough, and so long
as he cares to be justice of the peace
no one will object, for that is his due.
But. someway, there is no talk of
making him county clerk; and there
is reason in everybody's mind why
no party names him to run for county
treasurer He has been trying hard
enough for ten years to break through
the crust Of the common interests
that he has 80 long ignored. One sees
him at public meetings-aN rather wist-
ful-looking, chubby-faced old man
on the edge of the crowd, ready to
be called out for speech. But no
one calls his name; no one cares par.
ticularly what old Alphabetical has to
say. Long ago he said all that he
can say to our people.
The only thing that Alphabetical
ever organized that paid was a fam
lily. In the early days he managed to
get a home clear of Indebtedness and
was shrewd enough to keep II out of
all OF his transactions. Tow-headed
Morrisons filed the schoolhouse, and
twenty years later there were so
many of his girls teaching school that
the school board had to make a ruling
limiting the number of teachers from
one family in the city school, In order
to force the young Morrison girls to
go to the country to teach. In these
days the girls keep the house going
and Alphabetical is a notary public

the ordinary should be done for the children and so came into being the "children's hour" The time chos- en for the assembly of the children is usually set for the latter part of the afternoon when the captain is free from duty on the bridge. The children are assembled in the ships lounge and guided by ste warts to the captains quarters. After shaking hands all around the captain groups the chil- dren about him and regales them with the story of Davey Jones and his famous locker at the bottom of the sea. the story of the Little Lost Albatross, the Convention of the Fishes. the Flying Dutcnman and many others from hisj limit less repertoire.
 The "children's hour" has been one of the most popular innova- tions introduced aboard the vessels of the United States Lines fleet. The children who have been for. tunate enough to experience the thrill of meeting the commander of the big George Washington and listening to his stories have memory that will never leave them. After the story session the cap tain allows the children to ask him questions and it IS this part of the "children's hour' that Is most trying to the commander.
