OF course, the day of Frankie's ilk
passed some years ago. Time was
when frankie and many another like
him was watched in every European
capital. And the police of Manhat-
tan clapped eyes OF him whenever a
liner dropped anchor in New York
harbor. If and when word came Of

Not All Like That
That is all very we'll, when it works
out according TO Hoylc. But all hands
cannot be dealt according to the book,
and what if the day ley comes in
which John is able to make his an
nouncement What if he doesn't know
what ne wants to do
This is what. very likely: John is
allowed more time. The corner lot is
sold just the same and John is sent
to college to get a good general edu-
cation. When he comes out he'll only
be twenty-one or twenty-five. and
perhaps by that time he'll have more
definite ideas about his future.
Now this is all very fine and I. for
one, am a believer in a good firm
background of general academic edu-
cation for any special work. But
without doubt it seems that two
things should be done.
The first lies with the parents. l
believe that there was more than a
little virtue in the old fashioned
method Of helping John to make up
his mind, and rather early at that, as
to his future efforts to look out for
himself. MY boy is to be a so-and-
So was probably condemned too
quickly by the self -expressionists.
What if there is no self Repression?
Unless a boy has shown decided pref
crence or ability to be one thing tand
in that case most certainly he should
be trained along that linel then 1 be-
lieve his parents should take things
in their " hands and say. I'VE wish
our on to be a doctor-or q lawyer
or q ~teacher--or a business man." and
start cut to educate him with that
end definitely in view.
All Aren't Genuiscs
It will probably relieve the hoy
greatly at that. Most young people
want to be told. They aren't all
geniuses. They don't all have hob.
bies. They need suggestion and defi-
mite suggestion, and they need 1t early.
The second matter lies with the ed
ucators. Twenty-Five is old for . boy
to graduate from academic work Il he
intends to specialize after that, unless
he intends to continue In the
academic field. Lie Is short. The

Ancient Nautical Terms
Still Used on Vessels

On all seagOing vessels, Dotn
merchant marine and men-of-war,
men work in shifts; watches Is the
nautical term. The watch from g
p. m. to midnight Is called the
"first watch" since at one time 1t
was regarded as the first watch In
the day. Then came the "mid
watch" from midnight to 4 a. M,
as it comes in the middle of the
night. Then followed the "morn-
ing" the forenoon" and the latter
noon" watches. The watch from
4 p. m. to s p. m. is called the "eve-
ming watch" but it is often divided
into two-hour watches and called
the first dog" and second dog"
watches. These were thus named
because the sailormen of another
day regarded them as so short that
even a dog could not catch a nap
during one of them. The second
dog" watch is sometimes called the
"admiral's watch" since it is the
watch the highest in command
would choose for himself, in which
the officer would relieve after sup
per and get relieved early with all
night left for sleep.

The Junkman

Consider, sir, the junkman! He
is q high commissioned officer In
the war against waste. He even
merits a medal with palms, for he
is daily assisting In the important
work Of conserving values and, by
preventing waste, makes substan-
tial contribution to the worlds
store Of wealth. In recent years,
reclamation of basic materials has
been so extensively developed as
to have attained a high peak Of
economic prominence. Skilled scien-
lists in the employ Of our large
corporations give their entire time
long hours every day-to the re-
duction of waste, thereby swelling
surplus profits which otherwise
would be forfeited. The junkman,
in his own way, is serving the same
purpose. = Gig

The through service to Chicago
was inaugurated Is years later by
the new Oriental Limited which
had a running schedule between
Chicago and Seattle of II hours.
The new Oriental Limited, in con-
trast with it's predecessor, was an
all-steel train of distinctive interior
color scheme and design.
With the Oriental Limited still
one of the outstanding trains of the
country, its twentieth anniversary
is to be commemorated with COM
panion train named "The Empire
Builder" after James J. Hill, which
will speed across the continent in
many hours less time than its his
toric predecessor.
Just as the Oriental Limited was
radical departure from the red
plush and mahogany Pullman cars
of those days, and offered passen-
gers on trains to the Northwest, for
the first time such conveniences as
ladies' maid service, barber, show
ers and other travel refinements.
1.-THE Empire Builder" comes spick
and span from the Pullman COM
panys shops, representing the last
word in luxurious passenger trans
portation. Each of the new eight
trains which comprise the new En-
pire Builder fleet represents an in
vestment of more than half a mill
lion dollars.
The new train is to make the
westbound trip in five hours less
time than any of the present north
west passenger trains while the
run east is to be made in nearly Z
hours faster time.
Among the outstanding features
of the new train will be the long
est sunroom observation car ever
built.
The new train leaves Chicago on
the initial westbound trip the night
of June 10.

Strange Indian Tribe

The Peel River Indians, tribe
living in the Upper Yukon country.
are a puzzle to ethnOlogists. These
Indians are as black as negroes,
but have long straight hair and
aquiline features. They are proud
of their blood and permit no mixed
marriages.
Whether they are an offshoot of
the Hindu race or descendants of
a people who came up the Macken-
zie from the Arctic has never yet
been established. Today the tribe
numbers several hundred and is in
prosperous circumstances. Like the
Seminoles Of Florida, however, they
are vanishing because Of their an
tipathy toward intermarrying With
other Indians. z

and was always a painstaking stu
dent of the problems of the soil.
His was a worthy citizenship.
For, though not nativeborn, he
possessed the true type of Ameri-
canism and the only one worth
considering. Not something to be
boasted of and shouted from the
housetops after the manner much
too prevalent in these days, but
rather that kind which was evil
denced by him and his wife in a
desire, even with what personal
sacrifices they might be called up
on to make, to rear their children
in a proper way, and to give them
the benefit of liberal education of
whose advantages he himself had
been deprived.
Mr.. Cass led a quiet life, and at
its close was privileged to pass into
the Great Silence as quietly as he
had lived.

Methodist church Tuesday after
noon at 200 o'clock, the services
conducted by the pastor, Rev. T. B,
