YOUR BOY.


Bear with him; be patient; wait. Feed
him, clothe him, love him. He is q
boy, and most boys are bad. You
think him so light hearted, and fear he
is lightheaded az well. Remember, he
calls you father. When he played in
your lap you fondly hoped he would
some day be q great and useful man.
Now that he has grown larger, and his
young blood drives him into gleefuI
sport, and makes him impatient of
serious things, rattling, playful,
thoughtless, you almost despair. But
don't be snappish and snarlish, and
make him feel you are disappointed in
him. He is your boy, and you r to
live with him. He bears your name,
and is to send it on down the stream Of
time. He inherits your fortune and
fame, and is to transmit them to gen
erations to come.
It may be difficult to govern him,
but be patient. He may seem averse
to everything useful and good, but
wait. No one can tell what is in q boy.
He may surprise you some day. Hope.
Let him grow. While his body grows
larger and stronger his mental and
moral nature may extend and i'm.
prove.
Educate your boy. You may think
money spent in that way is money
spent in vain. There ia nothing in him ;
he has no pride, no ambition. You
don't know. No one can tell what
there is in a boy. Besides, there may
be an unkindled spark, an unnamed
fame, a smouldering fire, a latent
energy, which the teachers aid may
stir, the association with books may
arouse develop and direct and thus
start your boy agoing with such energy
that no power on earth could stop him
short of the topmost round in the lad
der of fame.
If you cannot educate him, let him
educate himself. That will make him
strong, q giant with whom none dare
interfere. Such are the best men in
the world. The greatest benefactors
of the race have stopped their should
ers to bear burdens, have carried hands
hardened with labor, have endured the
fatigue of toll. Many such are in our
minds now. Labor con quers all things.
The old Roman vas right. We SEE it
in a thousand instances. Labor makes
the man. No boy ever came to be a
man, the noblest work of God without
labor. This is Gods great law; there
is a divine philosophy in it. Let your
boy work if he will not work, make
him work. There is no progress, no
development, no outcome, no true
manhood without it. We must work.
Father. be kind to your boy. We
know what a mother will do. Thank
Godl A mothers love, a mothers
prayers follow US still; and the mem.
DRY of her anxious tears shall never
fade out during the succession of
years.
Finally, but not least, pray for your
boy. God hears prayer. Do the best
you can. Commit all you cannot do to
God and hope. Never despair, for no
one knows what is in a boy.-Southern

The gambling tables and saloon cash drawer was relieved of about $500.
 An attempt was made to force Peter Kitchen to open the safe, but he pre- tended that his partner, Kennedy. alone knew the combination.
 After driving everybody from the street into the saloon, the desperadoes took all the valnables that each one had. A goOd-sized crowd was present in the saloon. Then they escaped by the back door, after firing of their pis- tols to scare of possible pursuit, and ran to point near town where their horses was staked. Some of those robbed feel certain they recognized one of the robbers. They are now be- ing tracked by Indian trailers.
 Sheriff Hubbell was notified and posse is now in pursuit of the robbers, who went south.
 The town was wide .awade at the time of the robbery.
