For AMBITIOUS BoYs.-A boy is some
thing like piece of iron, which, in rough
state, isn't worth much, nor is it OF very
much use, but the more processes 1T is put
through the more valuable it becomes. A
bar of iron that is worth only S. in its natu-
raj state, is worth SO when it is made into
horse-shoes, and after it goes through the
different processes by which it is made into
needles, its value is increased to $3.50. Made
into pen-knife blades it would be worth
s., 900, and into balance springs for watches
$52O,0O0. Just think of that boys; a piece
of iron that is comparatively worthless can
be developed into such valuable material
But the iron has to 60 through great deal
of hammering and beating and rolling and
pounding and polishing, and so. if you are
to become useful and educated men, you
must 60 through a long course of study and
training. The more time you spend in
hard study, the better material you will
make. The iron doesn't have to 60 through
half as much to be made into horsesh0es as
it does to be converted into delicate watch
springs, but think how much less valuable
it is. Which would you rather be horse
shoes or watch-springs 1t depends on
yourselves. You can become whichever
you will. This is your time of preparation
for manhood. Don't think that l would
have you settle down to hard study all the
time, without any intervals for fun. Not a
bit of it. I like to see boys have good
time, and I would be very sorry to have
you grow old before your time, but you
have ample opportunity for study and play
too, and I don't want you to neglect the
former for the sake of the latter.

A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEITER.-Th
"pen-and-ink man" is still a mystery to the
officers of the Secret Service. The most
strenuous efforts have been made to catch
him, but he has eluded their vigilance so
far, and there is not the slightest trace of his
identity or locality. The "pen-and-ink
man" is the person known in police circles
who makes counterfeit money with pen and
ink so cleverly as to pass it without detec-
ton. The Secret Service has about fifty
specimens of his handiwork which have
passed the scrutiny Of the bank clerks and
tellers, and been detected by the experts of
the National Bank Redemption Agency of
the Treasury Department. The "pen-and-
ink man" devotes most Of his time to
twenties and fifties. He has made a few
$40 notes, but the bulk Of those captured are
of the denominations indicated. The Sc
cret Service officers believed for a long time
that the "pen-and-ink man" was some
expert who rarely employed his leisure
time in counterfeiting. They have given
up that theory and are now firmly con-
vinced that he is making living at it,
The reason given for this is that the officers
have information that he produces one of
these counterieits each week, which returns
him only fair wages. The ''pen-and-ink
man" is a wonderful expert, and his is an
instance of man who prefers doing wrong
at less wages than he cold earn by doing
right in respectable vDcation.- ldshinQ-

of their having to get up in the night to get

crying baby and so forth. How is it? DO
your children keep you awake at night?
Married man-They do.
B.-With their crying?
M. M.-Oh! no; they are quiet enough
and sleep soundly as rule.
B.-How then are you kept awake?
NJ. M.-Well, have six of them, and l
am kept awake thinking where Pm to get
the money to pay rent to keep roof over
their heads.
B.-"Well, after the rent is paid?
NJ. M.-Then, there's the grocer's bill,
the butchers bill, coal, wood, boots, shoes
and clothing. After one bill is paid l am
kept awake wondering where Pm to get the
money to pay the next, and so on.
B.-Well, after all the bills are paid?
NJ. M.-Then the rent is due again.

HEADED HIS COMPANY IN FINE STYLE.
Dave Bowland was high private in an
Alabama ''critter company" during the war,
and sometimes was carried into the hottest
sort of fight when charge was ordered,
because his horse would run when the 9th
ers ran, no matter how hard he pulled at
the reins.
One day the captain dismounted his COM
pany and ordered the men 'to charge the
enemy afoot." With big yell away went
the boys, but they soon got far ahead of
Dave, for he hadn't the spirit of his horse.
Dave began to think of the cursings he was
to get from the captain and the ratings
from the boys, when, looking ahead, he
saw them coming back in full retreat
