Let The Boys Help.

Why is it that the boys are allowed to
sit around the house doing nothing,
while their overworked mother is strug-
Cling against nature and fate to do about
half the work? Only the other day we
saw three able bodied boys lounging
about the house, not knowing what to
do with themselves, while their mother,
tired and pale. was trying to do the work
for a large family and company, alone.
Not a boys work to help about the
house? Why not? Is there anything
ahant wsshino aish~. i'll in;.,re
him, or that he can not learn to do well,
OF about making beds. or sweeping, or
setting the table, or washing, or ironing,
or cooking a plain meal of yictuals7 On
the contrary, there is much to benefit
him in such work, tho most important
of which is the idea that it isn't manly
to let the weaker vessel" carry all the
burdens, when it is possible for strong
young hands to help. Most boys would
gladly help in the house if they were
asked TO do so, and were taught how
to do the work properly. Many a smart
boy wants to help his tired mother, but
doesn't know how. beyond bringing in
wood and water, and shoveling a path
through the snow. That done, she tells
him to 60 and play while she plods
YEARLY on. Not a boys work. For
shame! 1t is q positive harm to 3 boys
moral character TO allow him to be idle
while the mother is staggering under
her burdens. Let the boys help, and
those who can't get help for love or
money" as thev often write to us, will
see their troubles disappear.

A AVAILABLE TREE RUINED.

Judge Burlington Too Gallant to Collect q
Fine From Two Girls. '-'
Judge Burlington tells a good story on him
self. When he was quite young man be
planted tree that grew to be thing of
beauty. and he priced it highly. He
watched it carefully, and it soon became one
of the most attractive trees in Kittanning.
One day last summer the Judges hired man
discovered an old and dilapida.ed horse
eating the leaves and bark. The tree had
been girdled by the animal, and its death
was assured. When the Judge heard of the
mischief, he was angry, and he directed the
servant to hold the horse until the owner
claimed it. Then he got down the archives
of the town to see how much of fine he
could collect for the damage done. He
found the limit was S100, and he nursed his
wrath, waiting for the owner to appear.
Soon afterward the Judge was informed
by his hired man that somebody had come
for the horse. With stern expression on
his face, ne went out prepared to rake the
owner and collect the S10O. Instead of
careless driver, as he suspected, he sighted
two beautiful and buxom girls with the
bloom of youth on their chubby cheeks.
They said the horse belonged to them, and
they had come to take it home.
"What could I do" said the Judge in
telling the story. 81 wouldn't collect
fine from the girls, and so swallowed nv
displeasure and went into mourning for my
tree"
