AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
What 1t Costs to Raise Boy for the FRI
Twenty Years of His Life.

Ao"fb Va bis A<iios
my father never did any thing for
me" recently remarked young man
who few weeks ago finished his school
life, and is now seeking good bust
ness opening. Judging by the words
and the complaining tone in which they
were uttered the member of the firm
who heard them is prone to believe
that the young mans idea of "doing
something" is an outright gift of a
thousand dollars in lump, or the
purchase of a partnership in an estab-
lished concern. This young man, to
the knowledge Of the writer, has never
done one months actual work for
others in his entire life. His life has
been passed in the pleasant pastimes OF
the home circle, in reading. study,
hunting. fishing, ball-playing, yachting
and other employments not particularly
beneficial to others. He is type of
that class of boys whose parents are
sufficiently well-to-do to keep servants
to attend the household drudgery, and
whose fathers follow vocations in which
no use can be made of the boys spare
hours. Like most boys of his class, he
looks upon his board and clothes for
twenty years, together with his pony.
jewelry, bicycle, ETC., as matters OF
course. The writer, while the COM
planning remark was still ringing in
his ears. had the curiosity to make
