Oh! why must I always be washed SO
clean
And scrubbed and drenched for Sun
= day..
When you know, very well, for you've
always seen.
That I'm dirty again on Monday?
My eyes are filed with the lathery soap,
Which adown my ears is dripping;
And my smarting eyes I can scarcely
ope.
And my lips the suds are slipping.
It's down my neck and up my nose,
And to choke me you seem to be trying;
That I'll shut my mouth you need not
suppose,
For how can I keep from crying?
You rub as hard as ever you can,
And your hands are hard, to my sor-
row;
No woman shall wash me when I'm a
man.
And I wish I was one tomorrow.

carried the messages and brought re-

buying Of a large flock Of carrier pig

In st. Nicholas Governor Roosevelt
of New York tells 4What We Can Ex-
pect of the American Boy" OF course,
pect of the American boy is that he
shall turn out to be a good American
man. Now, the chances are strong
that he won't be much of man unless
he is good deal Of a boy. He must
not be a coward, or a weakling, bull
ly, shirk, or prig. He must work
hard and play hard. He must be clean
minded and cleanIived, and able to
hold his own under all circumstances
and against all conlers. tits only on
these conditions that he will grow into
the kind Of American man Of whom
America can be really proud.
There are always in life countless
tendencies for good and for evil, and
each succeeding generation sees some
Of these tendencies strengthened and
some weakened; nor is it by any means
always, alas! that the tendencies for
evil are weakened, and those for good
strengthened. But during the last few
decades there certainly have been some
notable changes for good in boy life.
The great growth in the love of athlet-
ic sports, for instance, while fraught
with danger if it becomes one-sided
and unhealthy, has beyond all question
had an excellent effect in in-reared
manliness. Forty or fifty years ago the
writer on American morals was sure
to deplore the effenainacy and luxury
Of young Americans who were born of
rich parents. The boy who was well
off then, especially in the big Eastern
cities, lived too luxuriously, took to
billiards as his chief innocent recrea-
ton, and felt small shame in his ina
bility to take part in rough pastimes
and field sports. Nowadays, whatever
other faults the son of rich parents
may tend to develop, he is at least
forced by the opinion of all his asso-
ciates Of his own age to bear himself
well in manly exercise, and to develop
his body-and therefore, to certain
extent, his character-in the rough
sports which call for pluck, endurance,
and physical address.
