health and spirits. He never got to bel
a man. but faded away into the grave
before he was old enough to vote. Poor.
the day he was taken in his coffin out,
of that home Of wealth and luxury Of
which he had been the idol.
Now, l know a few lazy and shift
less boys who changed as they grew,
and became pretty good men. But
they are the rare exceptions. The old,
adage tells what the rule is. Let mo
go into your home and see what kind
of a boy you are; let me watch you on4
the playground and see if you play
fair; let me watch you in the school:
room, and see if you improve your OPP
portunities or shirk your lessons, and I
will tell you your fortune wit. out look
ing at the lines in your hand, as the
gypsics do.
Most boys. are impatient to grow up
and be men. They have marvellous no.
tons as to what they will do and be
when they are their own masters. But
they will learn some day the lesson that
Bobby Smith learned at the Central
Bank. He went there with his father,
who was a depositor, and wanted to
draw some money. The father gave
his check to the paying teller, who,
promptly handed over a handful Of!
gold. Bobby watched the operation
with great interest, and as they came
out he said: "Oh, pa, l wish that l was
q man." "Why SOP" "'Causc, if I
was, 1 could go to that fellow in the
bank, as you did, and just hand him a
piece of paper, and he would give me
all the money I wanted. Poor Bobby
was taken aback when his father told
him that men had to put money into q,
bank before they could draw it out.
Life all through is like the bank. We
a get from it only what we put into:
it. If you boys want to be men, not
merely six feet high and legal voters,
but wise, brave, pure, earnest, honor
able, useful men, you must begin now.
1t is slow, hard work. 1t requires.
time, faith and energy; but it will pay.

How 70 Have Plenty of Leisure

A busy mans leisure is much moro
fruitful than an idle mans busy time
That is one of the reasons why a busy
man has always SO much more tirao
than an idle man. Ten minutes con
versation, half an hours visit to a
library, will gain more for a busy man
who knows what he wants to be at,
than a whole days a;mless seeking on
the part of an idle man. If you want
YOU. time to be so much occupied that
you can not find time for anything else,
just give yourself up to the serious bust
ness of being idle; if, however, you
want to have sufficient leisure to do
some other things than those which you
are absolutely compelled to do, just
take care always to have plenty of work
on hand. Hard work intensifies a
mans life; it supplies him with an aim,
sharpens his faculties and makes his
time trcbly precious, whether it be- tho
time of work or the time Of leisure
S. S. Times.

him and allows him to examine. In
order, however, to avoid outside in
reference the visitor is taken off in
the woods, where the business pro-
ceeds. The operator produces his
money and the visitor examines it
and determines how much he will take
and what price is to be paid. Just
as they are about to close the trans
action suddenly two men emerge from
the bushes, announce themselves as
detectives, and proceed to place them
under arrest. The detectives do not
fail to take all the money from both
the men. AS they are about to march
them off to the town, the operator OBJ
tains permission to speak privately
with the victim. He asks him how
much more money he has than what
he is going to use in the transaction,
and, il he has more, he advises that
they had better try and buy off the de-
tectives, for if they don't, they will
both land in the penitentiary. The
victim is ready to pay anything to get
out of the grasp of the supposed rep
resentatives of the law, and eagerly
agrees to contribute to fund to pay
the detectives. The latter, of course,
accept the bride, and, pocketing all
the money, disappear. The victim
gets away as fast as possible, and goes
home and never says word about
his loss. He is too much ashamed.
For this class of victims, however,
there can be no sympathy, for they
are at least constructive criminals.
