ASchn NicNhlH, Is nanQllng the hOyH
with gloves Off She wants to know why boys dol
not study more. She certainly has not studied bow
nature much, or she would know that a boy doesl
more studying In enc day than girl does In d
week. for he has so much TO do ne has TO study the
easiest and quickest way and then he has to study
some way Of getting out of doing many things that
his sisters are always wanting him to do such al
churning, sweeping, ETC. She says that if he can'f
so to town in the day he will go at night. andI
when he comes home he will throw his hat in thel
kitchen, his gloves in the dining ROOM his boots in
the slttlng-room ana his coat in the pail n Nowl
Cousin Bella. don't you think boy that scattersi
his clothes SO promscuously would have to do some
studying next morning before he could get HIMSELF
in shape for breakfast And when he puts on his "bib
and tucker las you say, he does so with an eyet
singly fixed on those things that he thinks will bel
most pleasing to the girl for when he has hee1i
spending all of his extra change for chocolate bonI
bons and cream and in return for all of this sweety
ness, she has only offered him a chew of gunl.3
Again, you say you never read a letter from boyi
but that he is just been a fishing. Now Cousin
Bella boys have piscatoria proclivities and to be a.
successful piscatocalis he has to study the art of
the avocation, for you will remember that old Petef
"fshed all night and caught nothing" Tho poet
says:
"Tell me not In mournul numbers,
Lie is but an empty dream"
Well then, If life is not an empty dream yo mus.
be doing something and why not go fishing? And
If 1t is true that while the girls are in their sum
Der, boys are studying for the bream." The onus
probandi that boys do not study falls upon YOU Sd
much Din fun in defense of the boys that 80 a
fishing. If this finds it's way to the chldren's
columns and if the girls do not double team on me
l will come again.
