From fIardwar

The boy of seventeen has reached adam
gerous age. Not merely because he has
left the sheltering influences of childhood.
and must meet the temptations that ev-
evry youth must sometimes face The
trouble is that he too often knows so
much that his elders can teach him little.
He feels prepared to settle all the quest
ions of ethics or craftsmanship offhand.
/ recall the anecdote of that young law
student to whom the Judge before whom
he was being examined for admission to
the bar, stated legal case and asked him
how it should be decided.
Without a moments hesitation the
young man disposed of it then and there.
There can be only one decision of it,
he added pompously. mo man who is
posted in common law could hesitate for
a moment
Perhaps not" said the old Judge.
thoughtfully, 'Only it caused a Disagree
States supreme court when il came up
before them. l am glad, however, to
find that it is so easily disposed of
At seventeen young man has courage
beyond his knowledge. and in his enthIl-
siasm is ready to undertake adventures
years. He is usually a lovable creature
withal, and even in these days of gray
hairs | can never meet him i'm his ioVous
enthusiasm and cheerful view of things
without an impulse to slap him on the
back and give him God speed in his haDnv
jaunt toward the unknown future.
l am not of those who would deny TO
youth the natural pleasures that belong
TO his time of life. But when he forgets
the duties that have been intrusted 10
him, or belittles their demands upon him
because he is set upon having a good
time" he stands in great danger of mis-
future and needs the aid of a firm and
guiding hand.

They 1.-Two Near Detroit, and Represent n
Past Century.
Out in the region of the st. Clair flats,
near Detroit, lives n peculiar tritJe
known in general as the mushrat
French. Nowhere else in the United
States Is there II community such rs
this in language and customs. Despite
the fact that their ancestors have lived
there for century and n half, says the
New York Sun, they speak English that
is barely Ineligible to the average citi-
zen, while their French, il is said, is to-
tally beyond the ken of Partisan. In
one respect they are particularly nota-
ble-that is in their ability as story
tellers. The Dctroiters understand
them, and the mushrat French know
it, so that as raconteurs they are not ut
their best before them, but let them get
hold of n guilelcss casterner and they
will fill him full of the most marvellous
tales of hunting and fishing adventures
that ever came from the mouth OF man.
AS a means of earning money they
hunt and fish, selling their prey to the
markets. Their own staple food ar
ticlc is the muskrat, called "mushrat," :"
which abound out there; hence their
maine, mushrat French. Against all
ridiculc they will maintain that no
beast, bird or fish is more delicate, sus-
tanning and hcalthful than this animal.
