er A te e i THE WORLD: $ SATURDAY: EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1906. ~ YOUNG SON OF CHEROKEE HERO IS TRUE “CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK.” ‘ Nine- Year-Old “Jake” Casto Can’t See Why He Is Honored. CAP WORN BY “DAD.” Little Fellow’s Headgear Was Carried by Parent in Rescue. WANTS TO BE SAILOR. Will Have to Be Civil Engineer, Though, with Carnegie Endowment. By Ruth Earle. Jecod Casto, aged nine, Is of the opin- fon that {t never rains but it pours. Good fortune has befalien his family in & sncoceston of heavy winter blizzards, end the last has made htm—Jacob him- felf—the lucky benefictary of $5.00 in trust from the Carnegie Hero Fund. Wherefore Master Casto is puzzled at the strangeness of mortal life that can transform him from an everyday schoolboy in grade 8 of the Pleasant- ville educational institution to one in the public eye. And ali because of a hero fath Jacob recognizes that the reward of valor /s justly gold medals, new fishing smacks, payment on land mortgages, money, dinners and fame. But Jacob doesn't see where a $5,000 ‘‘schooling’’ comes in for him. Idice Casto pere, but with somewhat more ground, the youngster insists: “But I didn’t do anything. But being a docile youngster he ao- cepts his fate. “Dad’’ will doubtless ex- plain the how and why of it all when he comes home. Then things will be clearer. And, moreover, he will hence- forth take mind oulture a little more to heart. Up to the present he has been creeping like a snail unwillingly to school. But certain maternal interpre- |"@ tations of destiny and the significance of Carnegie bequests have put education in a new lght, and life has become a ger}cus proposition—that is, at times. For Jacob is too light-hparted a child for present, past or future to worry much. for so he Is known to his fa- about the nicest ‘ttle nine- } you can find anywhere.

And “Jake’ had suffered that morning at the hands of the entire school, which he had heen obliged to clasp in symbol of their hearty congratulation®’ when the news of his good fortune was pro- claimed at opening exercises. He grasped their palms as per request, but, childlike, not the exact significance of the ceremony. So, when he was de- talled to the office he scented another ordeal I felt like the Spanish Inquisition in disguise, “Well, you're a lucky boy,” sald I, with the simper of the conventlonal Indy visitor, principal was looking approval through ‘the gloss of the door. “Yes, sir," sald Jacob, respectfully, and assuming Attitude I. in the school ayetem of etiquette—litted chin, far- away look and hands crossed behind his back.
