What to Teach Bows.

a philosopher has said that trus edu.
cation of boys is to teseh them what they
ought to know when they become men.
/. To be true and to be genuine. Nc
education is worth anything thai does
no include this. A man had better not
know how to read-he had better never
learn a letter in the alphabet, ard be
true and genuine in intention and action,
rather than be learned in all languages,
and be at the same time false in heart
and counterfeit in life. Above all things
teach boys that the truth is more than
earthly power or possession.
2. To be pure in thought, language, and
life-pure in mind and body.
8 To be unselfish. To care for the
feelings and comforts of others. To be
polite; to be just in all dealings with
others. To be generous, noble and
manly. This will include a genuine
reverence for the aged and for things
sacred.
4 To be self-reliant and self-helping
even from childhood. To be industrious
always. and self-supporting at the
earliest age. Teach them that all honest
work is honorable; that an idle life #
dependence on others is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these four
things, when he has made these ideas a
part OF his being, however poor, however
rich, he has learned tbs most important
things he ought to know when he be-

One lie must be thatched with another

Idleness is only the refuge of weak

Simplicity is one Of the fret laws of

Loving kindness is greater than laws;

Life is an unexplored sea. An educa-

A laugh, to be joyous. must flow from
a joyous heart, for without kindness

Sorrow is a stone tbs brushes a single

IN THE LIGHT OF DEATH.

When all the wheels OF life are running

And not as we intend.

Now broken, blotched and ugly. it Lief

Spread like a map in view.

The bitter disappointments in full share,
The sorrows, old and new.
But though fresh failures come with each
fresh day;
Though pain persists and will not pass
away
Till life itself shall cease
Taught by this CLEAN OF deaths keen search

"No human life is whole" I've learnt to say,
"But of Gods whole a piece"
Each Individual life is not our own;
TITS In Gods building just one little stone
Chiselled to fit one place.
Useless-not cut to shape, but left alone;
Useful If, when it's proper place is known,

For though Gods temple rise in noble state

But there are other stones, not smooth nor

How Bobby Went to the Grocery

Bobby had started down town with a
grocery list; and it was the first time he
had gone alone, 80 he felt very proud over
1t. But by and by he stepped under a
lamp-post to rest.
"It's pretty hard work to walk all alone
to the grocery MANS" he thought. Just
then a girl came by and stopped to mail
a letter in the iron box on the lamp-post.
Bobby watched her with much interest
"Where does it go to-" he asked.
"The letter." answered the girl.

TIME IS THE GAME
OF FAIR MILLIONS
Mrs. Craven Having a Hard
Task to Have a
Hearing.
Another Shuffe.Board Play for
Delaying the Pencil.Deeds
Trial.
The Executors Declare They Are
Ready to Go On, but Miss
Virginia Fair Is Not.

The tactics which the Fair children
have adopted to delay the trial of the
Craven pencil deeds promise to lead them
into some deep water.
There was presented in court yesterday
the paradox of the admin istrators of her
millions declaring themselves ready to
proceed with tho big case. while Miss Fair
herself declared just as positively. with a
stamp of her little foot, that she desired
further time. OF course the young heir
ess was not actually in court, but her
spirit. as embodied in the person OF Attor-
ney Charles L. Wheeler, was the obstacle
that baked progress.
Wheeler spent almost the entire day en-
deavoring to convince Judge Slack that
the case of the deeds was not one for a
jury to decide. He quoted authorities to
bolster up his declaration that the issues
were equitable instead of legal. With his
hand on his heart he expressed his fear
that court OF law might make errors, and
i'm ediately he toresaw the dire calamity
of an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Therefore, argued Miss Fairs legal ad-
wiser, it was better that Judge Slack
should first pass upon the equitable issues
involved.
Attorney Delmas could not see what
possible objection there was to taking the
case before jury and allowing the Judge
to make any suggestions of equity that
might come uD at the trial for the benefit
of the jury. It would save time.
Attorney r. d. Mitchell on behalf of
the executors of the bonanza estate, said
he was ready and willing to proceed to
trial at once, in accordance with the
agreement entered into by the lawyers
interested in the case.
But again Wheeler objected. He was
after delay. and if he could not get it any
other way he proposed to intervene on be-
half of the heirs.
Judge benson opposed such a course.
So did Delmas. The Craven attorneys
were for trial at once. and to bring about
such a contamination they magnaEim-
ously offered the other side the right to
open and close the arguments before the
jury.
I'VE are worn out with delay. We have
no fortune to fight this case any longer.
II there be any way to try this case we
want it. We are wiling to yield any con-
cession TO the other side if they will agree
to try this case now"
But Wheeler was obdurate. Intervene
he would. and to-day the lawyers will
wrangle again over this latest subterluge
OF the Fair people to gain time.
