Listen a Few Minutes,

Now, my son, throw away that
cigarette and listen to me for a few
minutes while | pour some wisdom
into your ear. l am going TO give
you some advice, my hoy, and when
it comes to. unaduIlelated double
cover, pistol-erip, advice, l am right
there, my son, and have been all the
time. l am going to talk to you about
your mother, my boy, your mother,
who is as full of love for you as a
politician is full of votes on election
day.
She was born some little time be-
fore you, my son. some little time,
and Is therefore entitled TO your re-
Spect. She also took Il great interest
in you, my boy, when you were bald
healed as a poker chip and ugly
enough to break a photographers
camera. Perhaps you remember some
one sin ing you to sleep, and nursing
you through The meaSels and NUNS
and carrying you around when you
were big enough TO know better than
to permit it?
That was your mother, my boy,
and when you played "h00key"
with Tommy Fresh and went to the
circus, it was your mother that inter
coded with your father, ana saved
yOua thrashing. She had been watch
ing oyer and protecting you ever
since your habyhood, my son, and
now that you are on the verge oil
manhood and can almost see the ends
of your mustache when ii is well
wsXed. put in your best licks and
make some return for all this.
I Your mother is the best friend
that you have ever had, my boy, the
very best, and you are considerably
in her debt. Suppose that you begin
tu-mOrrOW, or to-day, for you cam
begin too soon, and give her II kiss
every morning before breakfast
| Dnn't be- ashamed To- do it, NY son

Words of w isdom.

Do not NEEDLE with business Of
which you know nothing.
Those who plot mischief live in
fear and die miserable.
Mature delibera.i0n is always bet
ter than hasty decision.
Resist not the laws ; they are the
safeguard of the people.
Behavior is a mirror in which
every one shows his image.
a latent discomfort is the secret
spur of all our enterprise.
Honesty, like Gold, is frequently
used to plate base metals.
The ruin of most men date from
some idle hour. Occupation is an
armOr to the soul.
The passionate are like men stand.
ing on their heads; they see every
thing the wrong way.
Some people act as ifthey intendt d
sneaking into heaven through a knot
hole and trust to luck in sQuaring ac-
counts when discovered.
1t is through madness we hate an
enemy, and think of revenge our
selves; and it is through Incidence
we are appeased, and 10 not revenge
ourselves.
One great reason why many chill
dren abandon themselves wholly to
silly sports, and trifle away all their
time, is because they have found their
curiosity baked.
The pleasures of the world are de-
ceitful they promise more than they
give, They trouble US in seeking
them, they do not satisfy us when
possessing them, and they make US
despair in losing them.
