Value of n Hobby.

If we ever became vindictive toward a
fellow man, and desired to punish him,
we would deprive him of his hobby;
without that he would be lonesome in a
crowd, and crowded in a wilderness, and
would seek what he had lost and find Il
not. The business man with hobby
that he rides is a happy man; but if the
hobby rides him, the business will suffer
sooner or later. The man without a
hobby will be found in the club room.

his loft of pigeons, his bird skins or
eggs, bugs or beetles, takes more sub
