THE
Blackboard
Boy.

The President
of a great University, perhaps
more than any other person,
understands the development of
the boy into a man, the powers
which need careful direction,
and how best to train and ma
ture them.
Many a boy wishes that,
in a quiet way, he could have a
talk with one of the great COL
lege Presidents, tell him of his
inclinations and his hopes, and
receive the valuable advice of
such an experienced educator.
Especially is this
true of a backward boy" lack
ing confidence in himself, and
needing wise encouragement at
this critical time.
Every boy should read
the series of articles in The
YoUTH's COMPANION, by the
Presidents of three leading
American Colleges, on THE
Backward Boy: HosU 10 Deveiop
his Powers. They tell just
what a boy needs to know,
answer his questions, quiet his
doubts, and stimulate his ener-
gies.
The Youths
Companion comes every week,
costs but SI.7s per year, and
contains more reading matter
than any of the $500 maya
zines. Send for Full Prospectus

EVERYBODY who is now admitted to
an audience of the pope must have
previously signed document by
which. the applicant pledges himself
neither to ask anything of his holiness
nor to publish or repeat anything that
his holiness may say. There was a
fearful fuss the other day when this
paper was placed before the Duke
d'Osuna, Spanish grandee of the
first class, who subscribes about e.
900 year to the vatican treasury and
who declared that he had been gross
ly insulted, and that unless an ample
Il. g. most abiect) apology was inn
mediately made he would at once go
away. OF course he was overwhelm-
ed with apologies and one of the
chamberlains remarked that no one
could have expected that so noble and
wealthy parsonage would have driv-
en- quietly up to the door in common
cab.
