handsome, massive modern structure, which

The owner of it was the man who, in

some boy Is ready to say.
No, he wasn't, He trimmed his own
hedge for recreation, as he was man of
sedentary habits His shabby clothes
were his working clothes, while those
which he wore on other occasions were both
neat and expensive; indeed, he was very
particular even about what are known as
the minor appointments of dress.
Instead of being stingy he was exceed

Just hey ond the hedge was the public
sidewalk, and two boys stopped opposite to
where he was at work, he on one side Of
the hedge, and they on the other.
"Halloa, Fred! That's very handsome

'Of course not" admitted Fred; ''and

"But you are not bound to keep your

angrily. Erred Fenton, will not say that

you'll never make a successful business

One of the remarkable men on the pro-

prisoned at Havana, being unjustly ac-
cused of aiding and abetting the rebellion,
and for days his life hung by thread
When. however the tidings reached Wash
ington the United States Government
promptly interfered, he being an American
citizen though born in Cuba. The Spanish
authorities released him, after much rough
treatment, on condition that he leave Cuba
at once. He is now an exile, and will
spend some time in this country. DR.. Diaz
is a highly educated physician and is also
pastor of a Protestant church in Havana
with over 2700 members. His latest phil
anthropic work has been the o, ganization
of field hospital work in Cuba, by which
the sick and wounded of both armies are
cared for. DR.. Diaz is most entertaining
speaker and is much in demand. In May
DR.. Diaz was summoned to Washing ton by
the Senate Committee on Cuban relations,
and was given long hearing by Senator
Morgan of Alabama chairman of the COM
mittee. DR.. Daz predicts that Cuba will
achieve independence within nine months.

and he stepped to gap in the hedge. in
order to get look at the boy who had
such high regard for his word.
''The lad has a good face and is made of
the right sort of stuff, was the mill onaire's
metal comment. ''He places proper value
upon his integrity, and he will succeed in
business because he is punctiliOus. -
The next day, while he was again work
ing on his hedge. John Brent overheard
another conversation. Fred Fenton was
again participant in it.
Erred let Us 20 over to the circus lot -
the other boy said. The men are putting
up the tents for the afternoon performance.
"No, Joe; I'd rather not" Fred said.
''But Why
'On account of the profanity. One never
hears anything good on such occasions and

would not want me to GO

Then let us go. You will not he dis
obeying her orders.n
But will be disobeying her wishes, "
insisted Fred. "No I'll not CO."
THAT is another good point in that boy
thought John Brent. "A boy who re.
spects his mothers wishes very rarely goes
wrong"
Two months later, John Brent advertised
for clerk in his factory, and there were
at least a dozen applicants.
II can simply take your names and
residences this morning" he said Jpn

one whom | conclude to select"
Three of the boys gave their names and
residences.
What is your name?' he asked, as he
glanced at the fourth boy.
Erred Fenton, sir" was the reply.
John Brent remembered the name and
the boy. He looked at him keenly, IA
pleased smile crossing his face
"You can stay" he said. 'I've been
suited sooner thad | expected to be-" he
added, looking at the other boys and dis
missed them with wave of his hand
'Why did you take me?" asked Fred,
in surprise. ''Why were inquiries not
necessary in my case? You do not know
me-.
81 know you better than you think | do
John Brent said with significant smile.
But | offered you no recommendation, "
suggested Fred.
My boy, it wasn't necessary" replied
John Brent. Il overheard you recommend
your elf"
But as he felt disposed to enlighten Fred
be told him about the two conversations he
had overheard.
Now, boys, this is a true story, and there
is a moral in it. You are more frequently
observed and heard and overheard than
you are aware of. Your elders have
habit of making an estimate of your mental
and moral worth. You cannot keep late
hours, lounge on the corners, visit low
places OF amusement. smoke cigarettes and
chaff boys who are better than you are,
without older peoples making note of
your bad habits.

poses, and parental respect would speak in
