is q matter of the greatest importanc
that you train him up right. Teac
him from the start that he can't run q
cross the door, wh0op. chase arOun
the backyard, or use up few nails an
boards to make carlson boats. fy0u Il
him chase around he'll wear out shoe
and clothes, and nails and boards coz
money.
Train him to control his appetite
Give him the smallest piece of pie tn
bone end of the steak the small pOtat
and keep the butter dish out his reach
By teaching him to curb bis appetit
you can keep him in good humor. Boy
are always in good humor when hunge
gnaws at their stomachs. IL he hap
pens TO break dish, thrash him for Il
that will mend the dish and teach hin
lesson at the same time.
If you happen to notice that you
boys shoes are wearing out, take dow
:he rod and give him peeling. Thes
shoes were purchased only ten month
ago, and though you have worn out tw,
pair of boots during that time, the boz
has no business to be so hard on shoes
By giving him good sound thrashing
You will prevent the shoes from wear
ing out.
When you want your boy to go on al
errand you should state it, and add:
"Now go as quick as you can, and il
you are gone over five minutes, I'll Gu
the hide hide off your back"
He will recognize the necessity oil
haste and will hurry up. You cOul(

to address him is thusly:
Nov, see here, Harry. / want every
stick of that wood piledup before nOoI
III come home and find you haven'i
done it, I'll lick you till you cantstant
up!'
It is more than q boy of life sizs
ought to do in whole day, but yOr
are not to blame that he is not thirteer
years old instead of eight.
If you hear that any one in the neigh
borhood has broken q window, stolen
fruit or unhin ged gate. be sure that
it was your boy. IL he denies it, take
down the rod and tell him that you will
thrash him TO death if he doesn't "Owu
up." but that you will spare him if he
does. He will own to lie to get rid
of a thrashing. and then you can talk
to him about the fate OF liars and bad
boys, and end up by say ing:
Go to bed now. and in the morning
I'LL attend to your case"
IfyOu take him to church and he looks
around, kicks the seat or smiles at some
boy acquaintance, thrash him the mo-
ment you get home. He ought to have
been listening to the sermon. If he
sees all the other boys going to the cir
Gus, and wants fifteen cents to take him
in. tell him what awful things circusses
are now they demOralize boys how
he ought to be thrashed for ever seeing
the procession go by; and then when
he's sound asleep do you sneak off, pay
half a dollar to go in, and come home
astonisheda at the menagerie and pleased
with the wonderful gymnastic feats.
Keep your boy steady at school.

thrash him if he wants to go fishing
or hunting; restrain his desire for
sketes, kites, and marbles; rout him
out at aylight, cold or hot, cuff his ears
for asking questions make his clothes
out of your cast off garments, and you'll
have the satisfaction, when oldand gray
headed, ofknowing that you had trained
up a useful member of society had he
not died just as he was getting well
