Teach Self Reliance From Cra
dle Says Captain Jack
CORRAL BEST KINDERGARTEN
But Youthful Horsemen Will Havo
Harvard Educations as Did Roose
velt Their Catch Em Alive Father
Promises Trip to Mexico Prelimi
nary Canter For Cross Country Ride
Teach a boy self reliance from the
moment lie tumbles out of the cradle
make him keep his traces taut and
work well forward in his collar and
ninety nine times out of a hundred his
Independence will assert itself before
lie is two years old Then guide him
with a tirm but tender hand instill
into him the principles of right and
wrong and the rest is easy If there
is no taint in his blood and he doesnt
possess a yellow streak he will develop
into a fine man Thats my rule and
II you dont think Ive taken the right
tack talk io my boys for tive minutes
and theyll convince jou that they are
men in principles even if they are ba
bies in years Ood bkvs em
This the tln ory of John It Aber
nathy marshal of Oklahoma and
father t Louis and Temple Aber
nathy ilie two kiddies aged respec
tively ten unci six years who made a
triumphal entrance into New York
astride the cow ponies they rode across
country from their fathers ranch to
greet Roosevelt There are five little
Aberuathys at home all girls And
according to their daddy each and
every one of them is just as wonder
ful just as self reliant and just as
grown up as Louis and Temple
Is Man of Strength
Marshal Abernathy might best be de
scribed as a great big little man
He is about tive feet six well set up
and shows every inch of his height
He is broad of shoulder and tapers
down to the perfect V He shows
power great strength and determina
tion in his every gesture and move
Aside from the wide brimmed tan col
ored felt hat there is nothing about
him to suggest the man who catches
wolves with his bare hands and stran
gles them to death
When Mrs Abernathy died said
Captain Jack I called the children
around me and had a heart to heart
talk with them They knew of my
frequent and protracted absences from
the ranch so I mapped out the work
and gave each his or her task Each
was made to feel that unless they
lived up to their part of the work the
ranch would go to the devil Wild
horses couldnt have held them back
then
Corral Their Kindergarten
Perhaps your boys would have had
better educational advantages had
they lived in the city was suggested
No they wouldnt the captain
quickly answered They have lived
close to uature and they have studied
it Their book learning hasnt suffered
either for they are just as well ad
vanced in their studies I find as the
average city child of their age
Their kindergarteu course was ob
tained in the ranch corral Horses
dogs wolf and bear cubs were their
playmates from infancy and their
knowledge of the traits aud habits of
each of these animals is as intimate as
my own and I have been studying
them forty five years
Each shall have a college education
Harvard will be their alma mater un
less they suffer a change of heart You
know they fairly worship Colonel
Roosevelt and he is a Harvard man
Anything the colonel does or has done
is perfectly all right in their eyes for
next to their daddy he is the greatest
man in the world
Harder Trip Last Year
Whereas the country at large is
amazed at the feat of the boys in rid
ing to New York Captain Abernathy
does not think it as hazardous an un
dertaking by one half as the trip to
Mexico the boys took last year
You see nothing was written about
that trip and the boys were just as
anxious to keep their present move
ments as secret as they did when go
ing to and from Mexico Those little
chaps bunked in with Indians brig
ands and outlaws all down through
the alkali country and not a hair of
their little heads was harmed They
werent afraid for a moment They
returned with more money than they
started out with and they made it all
by swapping horses Can you beat

MAL DE LAIR NEW BOGY
May Be as Bad as Seasickness For
Some Travelers
Aviators are disposed to regard jok
ingly the question advanced in the
Lancet a London medical journal as
to whether the human organization is
able to withstand aviation
It says that airsickness may be
worse than seasickness for many peo
ple owing to the giddy heights the
swoops down and dashes upward The
paper points out that many persons
experience an unpleasant feeling in a
descent in an elevator or in a swing
and holds that aviation is subject to
all such conditions wherefore travel
ling by airship is far yet from coming
within the scope of affairs of every
day life
