You do not know what there is in him.
Bear with him. be patient; wait. Feed
him, clothe him, love him. You think him
so lght-hearted, and fear he is light
headed as we'll. But remember he calls you
father. When he played in your lap you
fondly hoped he would some day be a great
and useful man. Now that he has grown
larger, and his young blood drives him into
gIeeful sport and makes him impatient Of
serious things-rattling, playful thought
less-you almost despair. But don't be
snappish and snarlish, and make him feel
that you are disappointed in him. He is
your boy, and you are to live in him. He
bears your name and is to send 1t on down
the stream Of time. He inherits your for
tune and fame, and is to transmit them 10
generations to come. .
1t cannot be otherwise A daughter d.
vides your fortune, transmits less OF your
fame and loses your name. boy is more
nearly yourself than anything else can be.
1t is through your boy you go down IN
history; through your boy you are to live
in the future; by him you are to act upon
the generation that is to come.
1t may be difficult to govern him, but be
patient. He may seem ayerse to everything
useful and good but wait. No one can tell
what is in a boy. He may surprise you
some day. Hope. Let him grow. While
his body grows larger and stronger, his
mental and moral nature may expand and
Educate your boy. You may think money
spent in that way is money spent in vain
there is nothing in him; he has no pride, no
aspiration. You don't know. No one can
tell what is in a boy. Besides, there may
be an unkindled spark, an Unframed flame,
a smoldering fire, a latent energy which
the teachers rod may stir, the association
with books and men may arouse, develop
and direct, and thus start your boy agoing,
with such energy and determination that no
power on earth could stop him short of the
topmoSt round in the ladder of fame.
If you cannot educate him, let him edu-
cate himself. That is the best way. That
will make him strOnS-a giant with whom
no one dare interfere Such are the best
men in the world The greatest benefactors
of the race have stopped their shoulders to
bear burdens, have carried hands hardened
by rough labor have endured the fatigue
of toll Many such are in our minds now.
Labor omnia vincit-labor conquers all
things. The old Roman was right. We see
It in thousand instances.

If America should suddenly be reduced
to the status of any one of the other civ
ilized countries of the world in the matter
of vegetables, two things would happen:
We would realize how beautiful our wealth
had been, and we would set about making
the most of what was left to us. 1t is a
curious fact that the vegetable list of
many, perhaps most, American families is
limited. This. of course, arises largely from
the lack o. knowledge on the part of house
keepers rega ding methods of preparation.
AND alas. the few methods in general use
for preparing everyday things are too
often haphazard, without thought or care.
Even cook books some of our best ones,
slight the subject surprisingly.
Many vegetables are tabooed as coarse
and common, which in reality are delicacte

CHRISTMAS BELL S.

heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
I'LL ringing, singing on its way,
he world revolves from night to day.
A voice, chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
But in despair bowed my head,
"There is no peace on earth," said,
"For hate is strong
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men! -
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep.
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep.
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to n,en!"

SOME SHARP WORK.
Policeman Goes Fishing and Catches
Some Burglars.

just now that our police are coming
/; for a good deal of praise for the manner
IS In which the negro, who has just Seen
sentenced to the penitentiary for eighteen
years, was brought to justice, another
little piece of their detective work which
4 took place recently occurs to me. 1t was
1 a case that might we'll have worried the
expert officers of the law of any Of the
larger cities Ono morning upon opening
their store Evans, Butt s. Price, the hard
ware merchants on Campbell avenue,
found that some time during the night
the store had been entered, the goods
scattered about and lot of pistols, ! a.
zors and other small articles stolen. The
curious part of ii was that the windows
at the rear were all guarded by pointed
rods reaching to within about foot of
3 the top of each of them, and the door,
which was seemingly the only means OF
entrance, was locked on the inside and the
key still in the lock. The matter was re-
one Of them heard of small colored boy
who had been seen threatening man in
East Roanoke with n razor. He took this
as his clue aud went to work. He looked
up the boy and found that he had gone
fishing, whereupon the officer took lit.
tie holiday and went fishing too. He
caught even more than he expected. On
the river bank he came up on half dozen
small boys having just about the biggest
times of their lives Some had razors
and some had pistols ana they were get
ting all the fun out of them they could.
Of course they were locked up. They
turned out 60 be notorious gang of
young sneak thieves who had been known
TO steal anything from the lining of "
bath tub in vacant house to the pistols
in the show cases of one of the strongest
rooms in the city.
The leader of the gang is n very small,
spindle shanked, ugly negro boy. He APP
peared so diminutive in court when
brought i'll on the charge of housebreak.
ing that it was hard to do anything to
him. He seemed to think he had done
something very funny. He said that
while providing around looking for any
thing he couldfind, he noticed that n piece
of glass near the catch in one Of the rear
windows of the hardware store had been
broken out. Then he slipped his hand
between the bars, turned the catch, pulled
the window down at the top and climbed
IN over the sharp-pointed iron rods. One
look at the boy was proof that this was
possible. Once in he unlocked the door,
invited his friends in and they made
themselves ut home. When ready to go
he let she other boys out at the door,
locked it as before and climbed out us he
came in, shutting the window after him.
Naturally the robbery was mystery and
the apprehension of these boys so quickly
upon such small clue was very credita-
BILE. This is the same boy who spent
Sunday so delightfully."- in Catogni's con-
fectionery store some months ago. A
policeman once saw him with his com
parious enter an inoccupied house in the
West End and by the time he got in
himself these boys had taken the lining
and all of the iixtares Of the bath tub.
