Boys.

Burdette says Cain was the first boy
and all his education depended on his
inexperienced parents. There were no
other boys in the republic to teach Cain
how to lie. smoke, drink, fight, cheat
and steal. There were no country rela-
ti0ns upon whom little Cain could be
inflicted for two or three weeks. when
his wearied parents wanted little rest.
Idon't wonder that Cain turned out bad.
| always said he would. We all have
our own boys to look after, as your
neighbor has boy whom you can look
after much more closely than his moth
er can, and much more to your own sat
faction than the boys comfort. Your
boy is like Adams boy was; he asked
questions, and If there is any truth In
the old theory of transmigration of
souls when the boy dies he will
pass into an Interrogation point.
The older he grows the more questions
he asks. The Oldest boy | ever knew

to school to him. and he did ask the
longest. hardest. crookedest questions
that no boy could answer. And now
your boy, ceasing to ask questions be-
