Our BoYs.-Did you ever notice how
long it takes boys hair to dry when he
has run away and gone in swimming! lie
is painful to be a boy, with mother cen
stautly in fear that you will be brought

is comnan led not to 90 in swimming, and
he swears he won't, but he lies like a
trooper. He thinks he will 60 in and not
get bis hair wet, and no one will know Ii;
but Just as he gets ready to ccme cut OF
the water, a big boy ducks him and then
he swears, and when lie crawls in the back
window as ten O'Clock at night, his mother,
with a press board hid in the folds of her
dress, is the frst-obstacle he encounters.
Doe. she believe him when tells her be has
been practising with the first nine OF

his hair, finds it wet, smells OF 1t and hnds
il mustv, and finds his shirt wrong side
out. Then she spits upon her hands, and
with the pressboard so works upon ms
tender sensibilities that he goes to bed
with his hand on his aching heart, wishing
he was half orphan; and he dreams he
is in a stern-wheel boat running backward,
and has colided with a barge loaded with
bsuzine on fire. The best way for a boy
to get along, in summer, is to have his HAIR
shing led.-Er.
