Boys wanted.

No doubt hundreds Of boys when
they read the heading of this article
will hurriedly inquire, before reading
further, where, when and whatto do?
We can imagine their chagrin and dis
appointment rs they read on and find
that they are no dire cted to address
"grocer," clerk, office," or to call
at a certain number or upon a certain
person. We can picture their disgust
when visions Of office boys, waiter
boys, and errand boys fade away into
nothingness 40 they read on and are
prepared to call our notice hoax and
deception.
Now we would say to those boys
who are on the alert for situations, easy
situations especially, you oughtnot to be
in too big hurry in condemning this
article and the motives which prompt
ed us to sound the 'ocsin of Boys
Wanted" We repeat that boys are
all the time wanted, scores, hundreds,
thousands Of them. They are wanted
to start to school next Monday with
cheerful hearts and smiling faces.
Boys are wanted to obey their parents
and teachers without a In urmur. They
are wanted to diligently pursue their
afrl;a. 70 afpro tho mind with usAful
knowledge, to become enlightened, in
tellig-nt and useful citizens. They are
wanted to be honest, industrious and
truthful. After establishing a charac-
ter for truth and honesty, and having
sc ured a good education, they will
be in demand everywhere. There are
always openings for honest, truthful
and in elligent boys. They will be
wanted in stores, in offices, for mer-
chants, for doctors, for lawyers, for
clerks and for teachers.
But they cannot all find employment,
in these avocations. Honest boys that
can be depended upon are wanted in
the labor departments, as much and
more than they are wanted in stores
and offices. Honest boys are wanted
to be machinists, carpenters, brick
layers, plumbers, printers, painters and
artists, stonem ,,on., butchers and
bakers, moulders, tinsmths, coach
makers, tanners, morocco dressers and
in all other departments OF labor
These are no degrading and mtnia
occupations. There is no higher t. PIT
of man than the honest, intelligent
work whose brawny arms earn
his living at honest toll. Boys, good
boys we mean, are wanted in all thest
departments. None need apply hul
those who are honest, truthful and in
Lelligent, for none can perform the, /
duties in a satisfactory manner uniess
they possess these important quaiica
lions. The boy who disobeys his par
ents, hates TO 60 to school, has learned
to swear, play cards, chew tobacco
drink whisky, pilfer fruit orchard
and spends the Sabbath in thievinp
and dehauchery, need not apply. SucL
boys, tolerated in some occupations, ARE
not wanted if others free from thes,
vices Fan be found. They are Away
showed aside for better and more hon
est b)ya, and when the notice of boys
wanted appears again in the papers
chey are on hand but only to be turned
of, in the hope Of scouting one more
honest and moral.
Bays $40 swelr, tell lies, have learn
ed t, drlak liquor and gamble are not
wanted aAy where except in the low
drinking saloons and gambling hclls in
fhe city, They are only wanted here
while they spend their money, and af
ter that their room is better thar
rheir company. Honest boys art
wanted all the time. Tie demand fol
them never ceases. Hundreds apply
FOR situations but only the mora up
right, honest boy is inquiries after A
large number Of boys attracted by The
hea ling will read thi, article AMI
we hope it may profit them. We art
quite sure if they qualify themselves al
indicated they will have no trouble ii
ending situations We uOpe they wi
LON uence Operators at once.
