WESTLEY, Manager PAUL V. MESTENBITE CHOOSING A VOCATION In the olden, golden days, before the tange, and the bunny hug and the turkey trot and the sparrow hop, and other saltatory devices of the Enemy of Mankind had driven from village social circles the old-fashioned and over welcome kissing plays, there was a game called "Choose your partner." The girls gathered in a circle around the outside of which prowled the boys, who, one at a time were selected by lot and admitted to the inner circle. The lad who was thus given the entree walked three times around the ring while everybody sang. "Son, son, choose you one! Choose you a good one or else choose none." At the end of the third walk around the young fellow selected a girl and osculated her. She was, under the rules of the game, permitted to decline either his chaste salute or his escort to a settle where they indulged in elevated convasion — sometimes with his arm around her waist. He escorted her home after the party was over and an evening, so the youth of our day has, in America, the privilege of choosing his life vocation. It is the pride and the glory of our splendid country that there are no bars of caste between the rail spilter, the canal boatman on the tailor, and the President's chair. Even in free England the grandson sells fish at the same market stall over which his grandfather presided when Victoria was queen, and in France and Germany, trades are hereditary. But here Jay Gould dropped the peddler's pack and Cornellus Vanderbilt the boatman's oar to become kings of finance, and Edison was not chain- ed for life to the telegraph keys because he began life as an operator. Choosing a vocation in life is a task that requires both knowledge and judgment. Let every youth, in choosing a vacation, be sure that there is something that the world wants done, that he can do thoroly well. It is his business to find out what that something is. One man may have a talent for mathematics, and other for mechanic arts, a third for commercial pursuits, a fourth for pharmacy. But if all should insist upon keeping books there might be no books to keep. Let our young men not fritter away their time by attempting the impossible. Let them remember that genius is often judgment. The philosastic Methodist brother who dreamed that he saw the letters G. P. C. written in flame upon the sky, believed that it was a divine call to him to "Go Preach Christ," but after dreary sermons had driven away At the end of the third walk around the young fellow selected a girl and osculated her. She was under the rules of the game, permitted to decline either his chaste salute or his escort to a sette where they indulged in elevated conversation — sometimes with his arm around her waist. He escorted her home after the party was over and what took place at the garden gate when they parted will ever remain a secret.

The enthusiastic Methodist brother who dreamed that he saw the letters G. P. C. written in flame upon the sky, believed that it was a divine call to him to "Go Preach Christ," but after dreary sermons had driven away the congregation, he concluded that the letters really meant "Go Plant Corn." Let no young man deem a trade less honorable than a profession. An electrician is the peer of a preacher and often puts more lightning into his work. A wheelwright who mends a broken wagon is as useful as a doctor who mends a broken leg, and often the mending of the wagon is a better job than the mending of the man. Let no high school graduate think that his education is complete. Let him be a student as long as he lives. It is the intelligence of the man behind the gun that wins the battle. It is the brains behind the job that secures its better performance. The ignorant galley slave who always labored at an oar on the same side of the vessel went back into the world a deformed man when his term of service expired, while educated Ben Hur preserved his many proportions by obtaining the privilege of daily changing sides. The high school graduate who knows how to handle his flexors and extensors will drill more cubic feet of rock in an hour with less effort than will the miner who does not know enough about his own anatomy to take advantage of his work. As you go out into the world, aim high and make a point of reaching your aim. If you fall below it go at it again with redoubled zeal, for high and inflexible purpose is truth upon a cycle—swift, silent and sure to get there. Wrong no man, dear youth, lie to no man. Keep faith with all men. Be just. Be generous. Be loyal to your country and abide by your convictions of what is right. Be gentle and courteous. Be wise in counsel. Be fearless and unwavering in action. Combine the suviter in modo with the fortiter in re. Be chary in judgment of others. Remember that DR. J. L.

PEERS REASONABLE THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DE HERMANN MY GIRL They've sung about Annie Laurie. And no doubt her kind are few. In the "Bonny Brae of Max Walton" "Where early falls the dow." But I sweat by the death knell of Kaiser Bill. That all that I tell you is true. Bout my little pal here in ganny Cal. In the land of the "Red, White and Blue." From the days of our grandmama Eve Right down to the present time. There has never been met such a female, I'll bet As this dear little charmer of mine. Her cheeks are the tint of the blossoms. Her lips, like the roses, are red. The roundest blue eyes, the same blue as the skies— A golden sunset covers her head. Her teeth, "white as pearls from the "Brinoy." Those ears like pink shells of the sand. A wee nose that says mind your own business In a way that you understand. Her hands like two lilies of Easter There's no art which they fall to possess. From preparing the daintiest repast To the gentlest loving caress. Her breath is the perfume of Violets Combined with Narcissis so sweet, Cinderella would turn green with envy, At a sight of those twinkling feet. That her form is patterned from Venus After one glance you never would doubt. And the party is dead who unthinkingly said: "Well, Miss Venus must have grown a bit stout" MILITARY BALL AT PLACENTIA JAN. 17 PLACENTIA, Jan. 13. (Special.) Co. 99, Cal.

Her laugh like the rippling brooklet, Brings cheer which no words can explain. Its notes like melodious music Thrill me over and over again. She can straddle a horse like a cowboy, She can swim like a Kellerman, too. Doggone, she's a regular "feller," There ain't anything she can't do. She can box, she can hit like Tom Sharkey, In the palmest days of his life. There's a reason, you see, for she must protect me. 'Causes I made her my guardian for life.—H. E. BARR' SPEECH BY McADOO Wm. McAdoo, late secretary of the treasury, knows that there is such a city as Fullerton, for he was there Saturday and make a short talk. Mr. McAdoo was on the train that arrived at 11:59 from the east en route to Santa Barbara, where he will remain for the benefit of his health. A delegation of a half dozen leading men of Los Angeles met the distinguished visitor to escort him to that city. While the train was stopping at the depot, Mr. McAdoo appeared on the platform of his car and made a short address appealing to the people to help the government hold the railroads long enough to be given a chance to prove that government ownership is the best. "What can we do to help?" shouted someone from the crowd. "Fight for all you are worth," promptly replied the speaker, and his quick rejoinder was greeted with hearty applause. The train pulled out at 12:10 for Los Angeles. W. H. M. S. THURSDAY The Women's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist church will meet on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 16 at 3:20 in the City Hall. A.
