his visit was the attachment of

with long sticks and aggravate
them with red hot irons, will put

Amusing Oneself.

The way in which boy finds amuse-
ment tells at once to any Observer the
kind of boy he is, because, you see amuse-
ment is not like study or work. Study
Or work may be ordered for a boy by other
people. In finding amusement he usually
follows his own inclinations, and in this
way he cannot help betraying his charao-
ter.
Some boys find amusement in torment
ing other people and making them I'M
happy. Such boys usually select those VIC
Tins who are meeker and smaller than
themselves and are careful not to let their
doings be noticed by a bigger or better
principled boy. And SO the boy who finds
his pleasure that way shows himself as
not only cruel, but coward and sneak
In short, a boy usually finds amusement
according to his nature and character 1t
Is good plan for a boy to consider some
times the way he is in the habit of anus
Ing himself He may, in SO doing, find
out some queer facts about himself which
he never before suspected. New York

Bayard Taylor.

II think ambition is never given with
out a mind of sufficient power to sustain
it and to achieve its lofty object
Who wrote these wordsl A boy of Is
named Bayard Taylor as he looked proud
ly upon an autograph Charles Dickens
had given him and felt within him that
fire of ambition which was never quenched
The Quaker boy of the little town of
Kenneth Square, near Philadelphia, who
was born Jan. H. 1895, grew to be very
fond Of books, and often when sent to rock
the baby would forget all about the CRY
ing infant SO deeply would he be absorbed
In story of travel or delightful poem
His father was "A poor farmer who had
no money to spend on books so Bayard
set out gathering nuts, which he sold
and instead of rushing off to candy
store, like some boys and girls, he invest
ed his money more wisely in buying
books. At IA he was studying Latin and
French, Is found him deep in Spanish
At II he was no longer the pupil, but the
assistant in the school The story Of his
life, with its deep shadows and bright
lights, is beautiful and full of inspiration
Every boy and girl of America should
know it by heart And see how the pen
niless lad at last reached some of the
heights of his ambition and became min
lister to Berlin and was welcomed cordial
ly by Emperor William and had for fast
friend Bismarck. New York Press
