Marty people seem to forget thai

thing to put on, ready-made, with
womanhood or manhood; but, day
by day here little and there a little
grows with the growth and strength
ems with the strength, until, good OF
bad. it becomes almost a coat of mail.
Look at man Of business-prompt
reliable, conscientious, yet clear
headed and energetic. When do you
suppose he developed all OF these
admirable qualities? When he was a
boy.
Let us use the way in which a boy
OF ten years gets up in the morning,
works, plays. studies, and we will tell
you just what kind of man he will
make. The boy that is late at break
fast, and late at school. stands a poor
chance Of being prompt man. The
boy who neglects his duties, be they
ever so small, and then excuses him
self by saying, Il forgotl 1 didn't
thinkl" will never be reliable man.
And the boy who finds pleasure in
the suffering OF weaker things, will
never be noble, generous, kindly
mana gentleman,

A Wonderful Curiosity.

One OF Peoria's prominent lawyers
went home the other day to dinner,
and found that his little boy had had
his head clipped in accordance with
the prevailing style. Affecting not
to notice it, he began to speak of a
wonderful curiosity on exhibition In
Washington City, In the shape Of a
living creature with form some
thing like that of human being. Its
head was as round as pumpkin, its
ears stuck out like clam shells on a
cocoa-nut, its nose projected like a
figure four from what seemed to be
its face;it walked upright, and its
head was covered with a growth OF
bristles about one-sixteenth of an
inch in length, and for want Of a bet
ter name the creature had been called
the "What Is It?" And placing his
hand on tho boys head, the father
said, why, here it is now. Here's
the very thing I've been talking
about"
The boy replied, as he buttered a
piece of biscuit, They've got q
blamed sight worse-lookiDg thing
right here Ia Peoria"
"What kind Of a thing is it?" said
the lawyer.
ut is the father of the What Is It?'
retorted the lad.
The subject was dropped.
