there is in his eyes when he searches
long and vainly for the familiar
legend of 20 years ago: Wanted
Swampers, SINNERS, skidders and
crosscut men,"
A lone and pitiful figure he pre-
sents there among the crowds of
"gandy dancers" as he once con-
temptuously referred to the rowing,
itinerant laborers who find employ
ment with pick and shovel in the
business of building and maintaining
railroads and at rough work in con-
struction camps.
The old. true-type lumberjack never
for long deserted the big woods. He
toiled in them in winter. He drove
logs down the rivers in spring and
summer. He was back in the silent
places at the season of putting up hay
and getting camps ready for winter
or he was engaged in some other
work more to his liking than standing
in an unshaded spot under a blazing
sun welding a pick and shovel. When
he became ''gandy dancer" he had
fallen indeed upon ill fortune.
There are still a few of his kind,
but they seldom come to Minneapolis.
Their activities are limited to a COM
paratively small region in northern
Minnesota. When they appear here
now they find themselves in strange
and unfamiliar atmosphere. They are
types of men whom the world has left
behind
They qualify, too, as the stragglers
of once-great industry that was the
cornerstone of many fortune in this
and other northwestern cities This
industry has moved to the west and
south and thither many of their kind
have followed it. Up to a few years
ago the lumberjack dominated crowds
before the employment offices in the
Gateway district. Today in those
same crowds he is a maverick, a pic
turesque figure who seems lost in a
great city. In the development of a
great new country his days work is
pretty well done. 1t was a good days
work and it bulked large in north
west development. So there is still
for his kind in Minneapolis a warm
welcome and CHEEKY word from
those who knew him in his heyday
and appreciate him for his worth.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES
Continued from Page A.

that his Empire of Europe would have
endured after his death much longer
than did Alexanders. Which leads to
the inference that those who build by
force of arms build with a rope of
sand.
On the other hand, it cannot be de-
MED that war in the estimation of
many people has its spiritual values.
1t has given the people of each sue
ceeding generation a magnificent OPP
portunity to work up-and work off
their obsolescent-and effervescent
patriotism. 1t has provided them
suitable vent for their inherent love
of the spectacular and the heroic. The
gaudy uniforms, the FURNISHED weap-
ons, the brilliant flags, the stirring
music, the marching armies, the
dashing horsemen-all gave gratifica-
| tion to mans passion for theatrical
display. The charging troops, with
banners flying, drums beating, bugles
echOing, warcries resounding, the
clashing arms and the hand-to-hand
fghting-all glorified the heroic in
mans nature.
But the last war was a very drab
| and disappointing affair, with it's
| dun-colored uniforms, its absence of
| fife and drum and bugle, its lack of
dashing cavalry charges, its relega-
ton of flags to the peaceful back
| home sectors, its messy trench war
fare. Also, the modern inventions OF
poison gas, tanks, super-range cannon,
and other super-engines of destruction
| robbed war of its exciting thrills and
made it profitless business of cold
blooded and sickening butchery.
Exuberant youth has ever been will
ing-even eager-to throw itself
| intellectually into the business of
killing and getting killed, if the kill
ing may be done in a sufficiently
spectacular fashion. Now, thanks, to
| the inventors, this is all being done
away with, and life thereby is robbed
of much colorful excitement and
| splendid tradition. How dreadfully
monotonous for generation after gen.
Grafton to pass without a war to stir
the sluggish blood and rouse the pa
triotic and heroic emotions! Truly
the old order changes. Ring out the
old; ring in the new!
1t is doubtful if there will be an
other major war, as the last one stole
away all the glamour, the romance
of fighting; and another would be even
more uninspiring and deadly dull in
its scientifically efficient butchery
Something else must be devised tc
take its place, something else that
will inspire youth to deeds of splendid
sacrifice and magnificent heroism
Cannot our modern leaders of men
contrive out of the monotonies OF
peace to develop a satisfying outlet
for human love of the spectacular and
the glorious?
Or-fs the time at hand when rea-
son will rule mems acts instead OF
emotion? Dare we hope for such a
consummation?

THE DISAPPEARING LUMBERJACK
(MinneapoliS Tribune)

The district in the vicinity of High
street and First street is losing some
of its former color. From the crowds
that gather around its employment
office bulletin boards there is missing
once-familiar figure. 1t is the old
time lumberjack, and a mighty man
was he.
He appears there now only occa-
sionally. You may mark him by the
inevitable pack and the catty rolling
gait in which he moves about from
bulletin board to bulletin board; by
his gray hair and by the wistful look

A Foolish Queen?

Queen Isabella was so foolish, -
says Mr.. c. j. Starkey, attorney.
Instead of selling $4,000 worth of
jewels to finance Christopher Col
umbus in his discovery of America,
why didn't she invest the money at
s per cent interest to be compound
ed semi-annually? What a nice lit
tie sum she would have now. Let me
see," pondered Mr.. Starkey, who has
a fair for statistics and history,
"she would have had a total of $4,-
00,000,000, which is IL and "a times
the value of the United States and
all its possessions.
Now although Mr.. Starkey thinks
Queen Isabella was a poor investor
and should have consulted her bank
er, we are certainly indebted to her
thoughtlessness after all if she
hadn't enabled Columbus to discov-
er America, somebody would never
have written that old song "Christo-
ia Columbo." That doesn't sound
important, does it? But if you will
recall, "Christofa Columbo" is Mr..
Boston's favorite song when he and
the boys get together to entertain us
on our beach parties.

share of fun and glory.
Then since it was recreation per-
iOd, Mr.. Wagner took his camera
outside and caught a couple of dash

and some of the girls playing base
ball. Do you suppose that last group
will be run in the comic section,
boys? We couldn't find out lust when
these various pictures will appear,
but you'd all better keep your eyes
open, and maybe you'll "see your
self in the funny papers" one of

and double-decker buses, who were
to take them to the Zoo. The chill
dren were very much thrilled at the
sight of these buses and they in
sisted riding on the upper deck.
Children of school age from Mary
land, Delaware and Pennsylvania
visited the Zoo at the same time.
The guides took the children around
the Zoo, showing them and telling
them the names of all the animals.
They walked around the Zoo from
the time they arrived there until
about 2:15. The boys seemed most
Interested in the snakes and mon
keys. They were taken back to the
station in the same buses that had
taken them to the Zoo Arriving

tired but happy crowd.

What The Freshmen
Are Doing And Thinking

The Freshmen are very sorry thai
they have to lose an old classmate
Florence Levy, who has been a reg
ular attendant of our school, and is
! going to move to WatertOwn, Pa.
with her parents. Florence and her
parents have been citizens OF Mil
ford for years and Florence has
gone through all the grammar
grades with the Freshmen. Florence
has been an excellent student with
high averages. In the eighth grade
she was in many spelling bees and
contests. We are sorry to lose this
friend, but as we are going to, we
only hope that she does as well in
the school which she is about to en-
ter as she has done in our school
Owing to the measles there are
quite number of pupils out of our
grade and other grades. believe
that there are more students out of
the elementary grades than are out
of our school. We hope that these
people will soon return and that no
more are made to leave school on
account of this disease.
Everyone knows that Field Day
will soon be here, and that's the
time when we want our school to
win. Miss Kinder is doing all she
can to help it do so. She has a class
of girls every day, from whom she
is picking out the ones to enter in
the events over at Harrington. Mr..
BOwdle, McGee. Boston, Shaback
and Mrs. Harrington are also the
ones who are helping to get the ath-
letes ready for Field Day Mr.. Bow
die has the 40 pound boys. Mr.. Nc
Gee the 1875 pound class. Mr.. Boston
the IS pound class. Mr.. Shaback the
40 pound boys. Mrs. Harrington has
the 95 pound girls and boys dodge
ball class. Mr.. BOwdle also has the
unlimited class. Most of the 40 and
1875 pound boys are Freshmen and
Sophomores. The others are the
seventh, eighth. eleventh and twelfth
grades. Hopes are that Milford |
beats this year Last year Caesar
Rodney beat us by a mere half of a |
point.
