Mayne Reds style and line of sub
jects are pretty well known, especially
TO the readers of tales of adventure
written half a generation or so ago.
Indians and bears were apt to be the
theme, and the scene was usually in
the west or southwest, though he
ranged the world over in his thrilling
stories OF hair breadth escapes. He
was essentially a writer for boys, and
we may frankly admit that, on the
whole, lie was a good writer, as his
popularity amply testified. Many a
man, wraAed in the busy cares of
'middle-agC life, Will recollect the rainy
afternoons and the long evenings spent
with Reds Rangers, or Hunters"
or "Noyagcs." Not many stopped
then 10 think Of his style. or, per

thinga as literary style. Thcplot was the

says, in her preface TO this edition,
that most OF the events related were

career when about so. He fought in

Advice TO Young Men.

Remember you have to work.
Whether you handle a pick or pen,
Wheelbarrow or a set Of books, dig
ging bitches or ed iting a paper, ring
ing an auction bell or writing funny
things, you must work. If you look
around you you will see that the men
who are most able to live the rest OF
their days without work are the men
that work the hardest. Don't be
afraid OF killing yourself with work. 1t
is beyond your power to do that. Men
can not work so hard as that on the
sunny side OF 80. They diesometimes,
but It's because they quit work at 6
P. NJ. and don't 90 home until 2 A. M.
It's the interval that kills. Work
gives an appetite for meals; it lends
solidity to your slumbers; it gives the
appreciation Of a holiday. There are
young men that do not work, but the
world is not proud of them. 1t does
not even know their names; it simply
speaks OF them as old So-and-So's
boys. Nobody likes them, nobody
hates them; the great, busy world
doesn't even know that they are there.
SO hnd out what you want to be and
do, take off your coat and make O
dust in the world. The buster you
are the less deviltry you will beapt to
get into, the sweeter will beyoursleep,
the brighter and happier your holi-
days, and the better satisfied will the
world be with you.-Hawkeve
