A Sore Point.

Young America does not understand
why he should be called a boy at II,
when his sister, more than a year
younger, is recognized young lady,"
and treated with Difference by the very
people who combine to snub him., But
he should cherish no jealous feelings
because he finds his sister addressed as
Miss long before he enjoys the satisfac-
ton of being called Mr.. The girls are
not only older in development than he
at the same age, but also gallantry and
a natural regard for her sex lead people
to pay a girl who has reached budding
womanhood Difference and consider
alton he must not expect to get at any
age. If he lives he is bound to become
a man in due time, and his business is
to set himself to work to see that he
shall be man in other respects than
outward and physical appearance mere
~. He can get along very we'll without
the conventional title of Mr.. until peo-
pie give it to him because they find by
knowing him that he possesses the solid
qualities of manly character. He
does not realize now that it is wonder
full thing to be boy. When he gets
old he can never be young again, while
now he has chance of getting old.
There is no better age than Is. Most
men of 80 would prefer it to their own
years, and, though crusty and incon-
siderate age may snub youth, it can't
run as fast, or sleep as soundly, or eat
with as much relish, or look forward so
hopefully to the time when it can take
captive the hearts of the young women
who assume airs of patronage toward
them in their youth.

A COnvict's Story.

It was not a pleasant, but unfortunate
ly true story Of the experiences of an
ex-convict that was told by burglar in
the general sessions yesterday. When
asked why he pursued his vicious mode
of life, he said he could do nothing else,
and explained as follows: "a man comes
out Of State prison with SIS note in bis
pocket. He almost always wants to lead
better life. He comes here and begins
to look for work. He cant go back to
his old place because everybody knows
that he is an ex-conuict, and everybody
shuns the ex- convict, your honor. II he
finds employment! Gin a new place the
police are apt to g i've hint that he Is
al ea-conyict, and out he goes. HIS
money goes and he has no friends to go
to- haven't friend in all the world,
judge-for more, and so he turns in
desperation back to the old life and
steals again" What sad and pitiful
commentary upon modern charity and
philanthropy!-New York Express.
