joseph Cook, in his usual condensed
style, answers four questions in regard
to the country boys course in life as
follows:
/. IF the FIRE in his bones requires a
country boy to go to the city, he does
well to follow the fire
p A very large proportion of country
boys of good ability, character and
health succeed in the cities; a vet
larger proportion OF poor ability or un-
steady character fail.
8. Character is usually higher in the
country boy, who does not learn city
dissipations and the tricks of trade in
his youth, than in the ave1 age city boy
4 Other things being equal, college
trained maR has more ability to gain
information rapidly than one not col
lege-bred. But, in the frst few years
after college course, the graduate
may not be equal to the non7graduate,
as the latter mas probably had the most
business experience, but the college.
bred man orer4akes his rival in most
cases. If / had sea who wished to
be great merchant, 6ns7ness man,
should send the boy to college for fou,
years, and then let him make his way
after sharpening his mental tools.

A worn TO Boys.

l have made up my mind to speak
TO you about little matter, for be-
lieve you want TO do what is fair. Now,
when the girls study just the same
books you do, and often go far ahead
of you Mt school; when so many of
them study stenography, telegraphy
and other kinds of business, become
teachers, doctors, missionaries, ETC., as
they are doing more and more each
year, what right have you TO sit about,
as lazy as a cat, and let these girls
work and tug till they are all tired out,
for your comfort, and do things which
you should attend to yourselves2 Don't
they like to run and play as we'll as
you do? Don't they need the exercise
and fun that you get in the great,
splendid out doors, just as much9 Are
you not physically stronger, and better
able to bear the heat of the kitchen,
and the breathed over-and-over air of
the house, than they? Ought you not
then, in your big, hearty, good-natured
fashion, to "give them a lift'' every
time when the work presses on them,
and TO take care of your own room, as
thep do of theirs? 1t seems to me this
is just "a fair divide"
/ tell you, boys who are good to their
mother and to their sisters in the
house, always grow up TO be good men
Now I'm not blaming you boys, nor
anybody else. know that any mum
Der of you are good and generous as
you can be, and know, too, that you
haven't been taught to think about
these things.
And don't forget that your sister
needs your attention when she is out
among the crowd. A boy should not
neglect his sister for any one. When
/ see a boy good and attentive TO his
sister, always feel like entrusting my
girls to his care; but if a young man
negleets his sister he is not apt 10 bt

A sehoolboy's composition on ''The
Editor" ran as follows: 1.-THE editor is
one of the most happiest individuals
in the world. He can go to the circus
in the afternoon and evening without
paying nickle; also to inquests and
hangings. He has free tickets to the
aters, gets wedding cake sent him, and
sometimes gets a licking, but not often,
for ne can take things back in the next
issue, which he generally does. While
other folks bave to go to bed early the
editor can sit up late every night, and
see all that is going on. When am a
man mean to be an editor, so that
can stay out late at night. Then that
will be ioIlyn

some nice showers or rain, and wheat

our minds made up, and nothing can

that are exciting the great Eastern
cities. We are here from all parts of
the world, as they We're at the surren-
der of Yorktown, Virginia. The same
blood that was commingled with the
mother earth there is here side by side.
There was heard commingling of diff
ferent voices of soldiers, speaking diff
ferent languages, and with mighty
effort their success came, and, 1 hope,
never to be surrendered. We of Ham
ilton creek remind one Of that great
scene-Englishmen, Germans, French
men, Scandinavians, all making a
grand effort~to make a living. We ere
somewhat mixed religioasly-Metho-
dist, Baptist, Adventist. Spiritualist
and independent thinkers. The mix
tnre is good one, all harmonious.
We had an excitement yesterday
that recalls scenes of twenty years ago.
A large black bear came in from the
mountains and took up his abode on
Mckinney butte and commenced a
great slaughter of hogs and sheep. We
notified our neighbors. and Friday
morning we met where the bear had
killed fine hog belonging to John
Miller. 1t had been there in the night
and got its fill and returned TO its lair.
The dogs We're set after him, and they
pressed him for an hour or two, when
he made final stand in q hole OF
water and conclded to fight 1t out on
that line ii it took all winter. The
hunters turned their battery on the
bear and he yielded to superior arms
and gave up the ghost after receiving
nine wounds. He weighed about SOC
pounds, was very black, and the fattest
animal that ever saw.

At the conclusion of a sermon some
where in Iowa, the preacher requested
some one to pass the hat and take up a
collection. A young man jumped up
and commenced circulating the hat in
such manner as to finish the job and
pass oat with the proceeds. The
preacher, eyeing him as he went out,
observed: "If that young man runs
away with that money he'll be
damned" A deacon sitting by the
window, seeing him make off down
the street, responded: "And if he
hasn't run away with the money I'll
be damned.n

any consideration as citizen, this man
- thoroughly respected. He is con-
stantly enIarging his shop and his
force, but has always more than he
can do There is perfect order in his
place Men must act as gentlemen
while there. They find there the best
papers and magazines, but no police
literature; nothing a Christian gentle
man would not take into the family
room. The barber is respected in his
church, is made member of the city
council, has model home life. He
has dignified his occupation. His life
is success.-Geo. D. Heron.
