and he was the hero of the small boys
for many squares around.


AS the school season is about to open
the fact is recalled to mind that every
year there are boys who come to the
Coburn Classical Institute. ambitious
to secure an education, who are practi-
cally without means and have to de-
pend on their own exertions to earn
the money necessary to pay their way.
There have been scores of such cases
in the past and the most of them have
turned out well. There will be more
of them this year and it is in the way
of the good people of the city to help
them. Many of these young men would
be glad of chance to do some sort or
work that bring them in money enough
to pay their board and room. There
must be some individuals in town who
have work that they could give such
young men to do. BY doing so they
will be assisting worthy young fellows
who may be thus helped along the road
to a career of usefulneSs.-Evening
