A Staff Maj. Gen. J. B. Kershaw 1834-1921 GENTLEMAN SOLDIER SCHOLAR FRIEND CAPTAIN CHARLES STEVEN e DWIGHT. A knightly soul has passed. Cap tain Dwight was a gentle man a gentleman in the old, the trut sense of that-in the later days much abused word. He was a gen tleman, in thought and deed. He was brave-with a courage that knew no fear in war or peace. He met the problems of his long life, looke. them straight in the face, and in domitably sdtved them. There was something in the state ly Episcopal burial service that ac corded well with t4e splendid life that was gone. That life had Been nobly lived. It, too, had been splen did and stately. It, too, inspired al, who knew it to higher and bette. things. No man could know Cap tain D*ight and be quite the same as h, was before.. "Noblesse oblige" took on a new meaning and a great er urge. Delicate honor became a sturdier plant in his presence; kindness and courtesy became more worth striving for-and more easily attainable. He never forgot to do the considerate things that make life worth while, and others seeing his unfailing thoughtfulness were moved by ts simple beauty, and in spired to imitate it.

Believing that they had discovered a romantic island similar to the one in the a novel, they called it California. Later on, the -territory to the north became known as Alta : California or High California I and when it became a state, it i was .accordingly -called Call fornia. The first settlers were i the Franciscan monks who esme up from Mexico and established missions, and many are the leg ends woven around these pioneer' Padres. There shortly grew up a Mexican settlements around the missions which the wonderful climate and fertile soil pros The government, while under Mexican control, was more or less Independent, anid at the out break of the Mexican war, Fre mont, who was later defeated1 for the presidency, occupied Cal ifornia. When peace was made In 1918, California became Uni ted States territory. That same year gold was discovered in the 4 .Sacramento Valley and the rush I of peopile to California began. The population grew so rapidly that In 1850 Cgiifornia was ad - mitted as the thirty-first state of the Union. With ks 158,297 square miles, it Is the largest state except Texas.

ON MAKING MISTAKES. Ule business world abounds in b winners. But it is conspicuous short in winners who can boast of 2 errorless record in their playing ti the game of life. A'sk any one 4 those who have won to the top, ar it is almost a certainty you will I told: "Mistakes? Of course I have ma< mistakes. My career is peppern v ith them. Every ntan is bound 1 i - ke mistakes who keeps tryir hard to get on." Or you may be infornied moi elaborately, after the manner < Wayland: "Show me the man who nev4 makes a mistake and I will show y< cr.e who never makes anything. TI capacity for ocasional blunkleing inseparable from the capacity 1 bring things to pass. For0the matter of that, wise < foolish we all of us are sure to mal mistakes some time or other. T1 only people who make no mistak are'dead people. "I saw a man last week who hg not made a mistake for 4,000 year He was a mummy in the Egyptia department of the museum." There is, however, this great di ference .between the mistake makir of theowise and of the foolish: The foolish do not appreciate ti mistakes they make, hence many g on making the samt mistakes to t] end of their .days. The wise recol nize the;-: mistakes, profit from ti recognition, and are careful not I repeat. them. It is, for example, a serious mi take to give way to anger in one dealings. Anger not merely bree hostility and antagonism in other but because of its damaging eff-c on mind and body it impairs the e ficiency of the one who indulg< in it. The wise man, noting the ev products of anger, irriig.bility, su lenness, and the like, will not lor remain a slave to ill temper. He wi control his feelings, if only to saf< guard his bread and butter interest "Keep cool" is his constant ac ncihition and by so doing losi nothing and may lose a great des by' flying into a passion. So wh do'it? The foolish man, on tihe lopposit will let his feelings koVernaim yel after year. He may even feel prov of his hair trigger r' diness to ri act wrathfully to -. hatever di pleases him. "Nobody can bulldoze me," h boasts. "Nobody can tread on ir toes and get away with it. I'll shoe 'em what's what."' He does show them, all too plait ly. And though he thereby huri himself far more than he does tho: who give him offense, he. continu< through life an ill-natured boor sin ply because 1he-is too foolish to i quire into the cause of the painfi conseqences hisiineessant irratibil ty brings ,upon him. So with other failures invitir mistakes. The wise, however prone to mal them, quickly learn the lesson's the teach. The foolish n ar learn, y wonder why they flounder all the days in the morasses of adversity. The new sU0 chewing gi which everybody likes-YOU wlL too. n Cotton In ie Yt' i.
