The forenoon he spent in the small
room, busy with his papers, or in
meeting people who came to pay him
money-or borrow 1T.
In the afternoon he tried to take a
nap, but SO long had his mind been set
to its daily grind that 1t now ran on
in spite of him-a sort OF mental en-
CINE whose clutch could no longer be
released.
Rest; quiet nap-they were no
longer his. He had sold them-part
Of the price he had paid for-what p
the privilege TO pocket interest money
to collect rents; to write his check.
Cheated again The devil never loses
in trade.
1t would be a hopeless task to trace
his thoughts as he thrashed about over
the bed and fidgeted the hours away.
His business the farms his squan-
dered years all passed in review. And
dow and pile up wealth-for somebody
else to spend. He couldn't spend it
himself. He didn't know how. He had
toiled so hard to make it that he had
never learned how to spend it-an in
fnitely finer thing to know.
Sleep-he was never wider awake
in his life. He foundered off the bed
at last, less rested than when he lay
down, and stormed out to the porch
only to stand drumming restless
tattoo upon post with his long bony
fingers.

FIRE DESTROYS MISSION BOAT,
 REV. GEO. BECK INJURED
Missionary Has Narrow Escape When Gasboat Lois Is Swept By Flames.

Total destruction by fire of the gasboat Lois, owned by the Presby- terian Board of Home Missions and operated in this district, was report ed from Hoonah to pr. S. Hall Young, Superintendent of Presbyterian Mis- sions in the Territory. Rev. George J. Beck, who had charge of the yes sel, was painfully burned in the acci- dent and had a narrow escape from death.
 MT. Beck, according to reports re- .eeiyed by pr. Young was standing in the engine room when the acci- dent occurred. The force of the ex- plosion lifted the decks from stem to stern, the pilot house, cabin, masts and steel rigging, and hurled them ashore. The accident happened on the night of February 20.
 The Lois had been driven ashore by large and heavy ice floe earlier on the same day. Late in the even ing, Mir. Beck took his lantern and went across to see if the boat were in a safe position. It was lying on its side on the beach. He entered the vessel throgh the pilot house and went directly to the engine room. AS he went in, he said, he heard a peculiar hissing sound, and in single instant the whole place was mass of flames. He turned to escape and found the steps to the pilot house to be in splinters. Climbing over the gas tank he made his way 1 to where the pilot house had been and to the gunwale. On the land side wall of fire 50 feet shut off escape. He finally made his way ashore over floating ice He was se- iverely burned about the face, eye brows and lashes burned and the rims of his eyeglasses partly melted
 Nh permanent injury. he said, was Idone to his eyes. His head, ears and hands were covered and not burned.
 The fire, he said, probably resulted i from an explosion of gas in the bilge. where it had drained from broken ] feed pipes. The hull sank, but was i later raised and the engine recover ed.
 ] The loss, said Dr. Young is all of 5000 He did not know whether or not there was any insurance car lried. Insurance, in the past, has been
 looked after by the Board of Mis- sions directly. The loss of the boat, ] he said, is serious matter to the work of missions in the Territory as ! the boat has been a vital factor in carrying it on successfully. It is es- sential that a vessel be available, he
 added, and he. with others interest
 ed will start at once to replace the Lois with a suitable craft.
 The Lois has been operated sue ,Cessfully in mission work for the past 12 years. It was originally
 made available for the work through
 the generosity of Mr. Childs of the
 famous sChilds' restaurant service, said Dr. Young.

Friendship Needed

Dear Miss Lee: ID I am a school girl,
IA years old. 1 think the world of a girl
friend nearly one year older. She is a
natural leader in all sorts of activities and
is very popular.
Lately she has gone crazy over the
boys. She thinks she loves a boy IT. 1
think she is merely infatuated She talks
of clipping with him. but says there is
widower 45 years old. He has four small
children and a tep-daughter of 13. He
wants my friend to marry him. He buys
her books, flowers. candy. etc, while his
children haven't a decent home.
Do you think I should discontinue going
with this girl, or try to make her see
that she is doing wrong?
2. What is your opinion of girls g and
II who smoke cigarettes? BILLY MAE.
/. This girl needs a friend now, If
she ever needed one. Stick by her
as long as you can. Don't preach to
her; that won't help. It wouldn't
hurt to let her know, occasionally,
what a nice old man" you think
the widower is, but how you simply
never could trust a man who neg
lected his children to give presents
to others.
And then, it might do some good
to mention-quite incidentally. of
course-cases of very young girls
who married men they thought they
loved, and then found out it was
only puppy love" after all. The
power of suggestion sometimes can
be used to great advantage.
2. Much the same as my opinion
of boys of that age who do the same
thing. The fact that it is unhealth-
full is more important than the fact
that it is "unlady-like

Woman Home Instinct UsboiIed by Business Success

ness who has a good income should
adopt one or more children" she
went on land train them to be
good citizens.
''It is my observation that wom-
en- who have been successful in
business make excellent mothers,
whether the children they train
are their own or not. They give a
child his head and direct him rath-
er than lay out his life.
ANY woman who has been an
executive herself knows the quail
tiles she looks for in others and
realizes a child needs certain con-
facts and experiences by means of
which he learns for himself. With
out having learned thorough con-
tact with many people shortcom-
ings that contribute least to sue
cess, a woman has a natural in
stinct to shield her child from the
unpleasant angles Of life.
"In business or domestic life
there is one precept I place above
all others, Rely on yourself. Use
your own head"
Cooperation is another point she
stresses.
"Give every person the fu1l re-
spOnsibility OF his job" she ad-
vises. Bear with his mistakes at
first and teach him. But if he will
not learn get rid of him and give
the opportunity to some one who
will improve it,"
Miss Cass has about a thousand
people working for her, of whom
more than half are women.

ID From office girl to general
manager of the largest pa
per box factory in the world was
quite jump, but Mary Cass Of
Buffalo cleared it successfully.
And, automatically the slender,
$4a-week pay envelope developed
into a robust healthy income-one
of the largest achieved by any
woman in this country.
Big business has never crowded
out her home instinct, but rather
developed it, and she has some
very definite theories about home
life.
ITO be successful in business, I
think it is absolutely necessary for
a woman TO have a good, comfort
able home and to surround her
self with the comforts her femi-
nine nature calls for" she says.
Hall bedrooms, boarding houses
and hotel rooms are all wrong for
the woman who can afford better"
Miss Cass not only provides a
home for herself but for the son
she adopted when he was 4 and
who is now ready 8or college. And

vide a home for the husband and

Quick Tempered Husband

Dear Miss Lee: 7 am % years old and
have been married three times. The first
time. was only I6 and my husband; 81
A girl was born to US. Ny husband
started going with another woman. got
q divorce.
In = year remarked. This man was
good to my baby and me for two years.
He became jealous of thes baby He didn
want her to go anywhere or have any
playmates Finally 1 got a divorce and
NY third man is 40. He never had been
married He had taken care of his mother
fifteen years and had reared two httle
brothers and sister. We were married
last January. His mother died month
My husband is awfuny good to my baby
and me. But he gets angry over little
things. He doesn't want me to 60 to my
nelghbors. He calls me very day at noon
and expects me to answer. If l go down
town. have to be back by noon.
A neighbOr woman died few weeks
ago. / went to the funeral which lasted
until IL 40. The man asked me to stay
and lock the door for him. l sent my lit
tell my husband why l wasn't home. he
cursed when the child told him
Please tell me how to cure him of this
and we could live the happiest of lives if
he didn't have these spells. p. c. G.
It's time for you to assert your
rights. There is no reason on earth
why you should be forced to stay
home all the time. And, Of course,
you will not allow your husband to
curse before your child.
Warn him that he must curb his
temper or you will leave. Tell him
how much you love him-so much
that you can not stay and watch
him grow into a grouchy old man,
impossible to live with.
Also, when he complains about
your being away from home, you
might remind him that even
servant is given some recreation
and you are more than a servant to
him.
