years ago. The ceremony was neriorm'
ed about o'clock in the morning Re.

enea our entire livea. We agreed with
each other that each should be watchful,
careiui, never by act or word, to hurt the
Iee1ings OF the other. We we're both:
young, noth hot-tempered, both positive
IN our likes and dislikes, and both some.
What eXacting and inflexible-just the

wen, Tor few years we found it hard
Work to always live by our agreement.
Occasionally (not often) word or look
woulG clip off the tongue or fnce before it
could 90 caught or suppressed; we never
allowed the sun to go down OF our wrath.
Before retiring at night on such oc.
casions, there was always confession and
forgiveness, and the culprit would become
more careful in the future. Our tenn pers
and dispositions became gradually more
and more congenial; so that after few
years we became one in reality, as the
marital ceremony had pronounced us enc
nIomiInally. In thinking back, we find
tnat LOT more than twenty years our little
agreement has been unbroken, and there
has been no occasion for confession OF
forgiveness. In business we have had
our adversity aud prosperity and success.
We have raisad'6 family of children, and
now have our grandchildren about us
we are simple enough to believe that we
have better children because OF Cur little
agreement. Under such contract, re.
liglously kept, no ill-natured children
VIII 30 reared, and no boys will find the
streets and ber.rooms more pleos than
home. To make good wife Oh good
husband requires the corporation of both.

GRANDPA's SOLILOOUY.

1t wasn't 80 when was Young,
we used plain language then;
We didn't speak of "thom galoots,"
When meaning boys and men.
When speaking Of the nice hand.write
or Joe. or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain-we didn't say
He slings nasty quill"
Tilen when Ne met good old friend,
We hadn't lately seen.
We greeted him-but didn't say,
Hello, you old sardine."
The boys got mad sometimes and fit;
We spoke of kicks and blows;
But now they "whack him on the snoot,
And paste him on the nose."
Once. when youth was turned away
From her he held most dear,
He walked off on his feet-but now
He "crawls off on his ear
We us used S to dance when was young,
But now they don't-they only "slng
The light fantastic toe''
or death we spoke IN language plain,
That no one did perplex,
But in these days one doesn't die
He passes in his checks"
We praised a man Of common sense:
"Hi3 judgments good" we said:
But now they say. "Wcll, that old plum
Has got level head"
It's rather sal the children now
Are learning oil such talk;
They've learned to ''clin" instead of cbnt
And waltz" instead Of walk.
To little Harry yesterday
My grandchild aged two
said. You love grandpa ?" said he:
You bet your boots do"
The children bowed to strangers once.
1t Is no longer So
The little girls, as well rs boys,
NOW greet you with "helIor'
Oh give me back the good old dnys
= When both the old and young
Conversed in plain, old. fashioned ways,
And slang was never slung.

DAVID NAVARRO, TIE FAT Boy
The Rochester Union thus Describes
this overgrown American youth: "He
was born in Rochelle, H.. seventeen
years ago. At the time Of his birth he
weighed but eight pounds, and continued
to be small child until he was six years
old, when all Of sudden he began to
grow, and at seven he weighed eighty
pounds. On his eighth birthday he
weighed 1l2 pounds, and continued grad
ually to increase, till on his eleventh
birthday he weighed 2l2 pounds The
next year he increased in weight to the
tune Of 255 pounds, and weighed when
twelve years old he was found to kick
the beam at 1926 pounds. In his thir-
teenth year he suffered severely from
typhoid fever, which reduced him some.
what in flesh but on recovering from
this disease he soon regaincd what he
had lost and made up time at rapid rate,
and on his last and seventeenth birthday
he weighed 635 pounds. This WAS last
winter, and it is probable, judging from
past experience, that this avoirdurois
has increased slightly since then His
health is perfectly good as general
thing, an, his flesh, instead Of being fab
by, is quite solid to the touch, his arm,
which measures twenty four inches round
the biceps, being like bnr of iron. His
apparently sole complaint is that the
doors of the houses are too small for him.

What 70 Teach the Roys.

a philosopher has said that true cdu-
cation for boys is to teach them what
they ought to know when they become
| men,"
| What is it they ought to know then?
/. To be true-to be genuine. No ed
ucation is worth anything that does not
include this. A man had better not
know how TO read he had better never
learn letter in the alphabet, and be true
and genuine in intention and in action,
rather than, being learned Il; 81! oc:c::ccs
and in all languages, to be at the same
time false in heart and counterfeit r life.
Above all things teach the boys that
truth is more than riches; more thar
culture more than any earthly power or
position.
2. To be pure in thought. language
and life-pure in mind and in body.
An impure man, young or old, is plague
spot, leper, who ought to be treated as
were the lepers of old, who were ban
ished from society.
8. To be unselfsh. To care for the
feelings and comfort of Others. To be
polite. To be just in all dealings with
others. To be generous, noble and man
ly. This will include genuine reyer-
ence for the aged and things sacred
4. To be self.reliant and selfhclpfui,
even from early childhood To be in
dustrious always, and selfsupporting at
the earliest proper age. Teach them that
all honest work is honorable, and that an
idle, useleas life Of dependence on others
is disgraccful.
When boy has learned these four
things; when he has made these ideas a
part of his being, however young he may
be, however poor, or however rich, he
has learned some Of the most important
he ought to know when he becomes Il
man. With these four properly mas
tered. it will be easy to find all the rest.

Z. SILVER HALF-DOLLAR's RETURN.
Some twenty-five years ago David P.
Tex.er, residing on the Massillon road,
had in his possession silver half.dol.
lar made in the year 1928, and that be-
ing his natal year he cut his name on it
and thought he would retain it as a relic.
After several years, however, he paid it
out one day by mistake, along with
other money. and for twenty years it took
its course. Last Saturday he sent his
little daughter to Massillion on all errand,
and upon her return home she gave him
some change, and with it was the identi-
cal half-dolar with his name cut on it..
