A Young Man and His "Wild Oats"

For, after all that has been said to
the contrary, the world does recognize
correct living in young man, and it
is far more often aware of it than the
young man supposes. The nan who,
in the developing days of a young man,
means most to him, and whose &C
qusintance in later years will be a
pride and a joy to him, always know,
the young fellow who is leading a life
free from blemish. There is an inde1
nab!e chord which always draws the
right men to the young man OF pure
life. He may be led to think at times.
as he sees other young men ~follOWiog
reckless lives that his course does not
count for muca. BIT as the friendship,
the confidence, and the good will OF
men OF integrity coma to him, be will
slowly, perhaps, but surely, begin to
understand and appreciate the value Of
q manly life. There i5 no discounting
the fruits which come of a well spent
life. A young man is always known
by his true color. OF thas he never
need fear. AID adherence to high
principles always shows itself in a
young mans life, and the instance has
never been known where it failed to
count for much. And as a young man
progresses in life, and a clearer unoer.
standing of the right kind OF living
comes to him, he will see for himself,
that the men who hold the true respect
of the world are the men whos8 lives
are so pure that they @ fearlessly
ard honestly look every man and NO
man in the eye.-E1Ward Blk, in 8. g..

MRS ETHEL,

DEAR AUNT JENNIE:-I have been
reading The Progressive Farmer ever
since l was married land that is over
eight years. and I certainly enjoy
reading it, especially the Chat corner.
l have been wanting to write a short
letter for soma tim9, but I am such a
poor telker 1 kept putting it off. But
| will try this time and if it escapes
the waste basket, I will write again.
I liked your letter on card playing
I never played any, and I would not
like for my children to learn to PLAY.
I think playing any such games as
cards, checkers, etc., a waste OF
precious time, and 1 think those
who play such games would gain more
by reading some good book. 1 Ger
tainly eDjoy good reading.
| agree with Mrs. J.. L D. on sweep
ing. I think where there are children
you couldn't keep a room very clean
by sweeping in K9ntuckienne's man.
ner I have only two little ones, and
they have the house for a play house
some time. We live on a farm, and
are a very healthy and happy family
Of four. Your friend,

Gently become a reader Of the Chat,
but have enjoy ed it very much for
the few weeks / have read it.
Aunt jennie is right about card
playing. I hope none OF the Cousins
touch them. Again, Aunt jennie is
very correct with regard to girls asso-
ciating with dissipated b}ys. We have
heard girls say, 20, l know George is
a little reckless, but then he comes of
a good family, and I think he will re
form" Maybe he will. You should
work and pray for his reformation,
but mind you, do not treat him exactly
as you would if he were already re
formed. II you do he will not see 81
much ne9d of changing his couree.
There ia a Lesson that all young wo,
men and young men, as we'll as older
ones should bearn, and that is, that a
drunken, debauched man is as loath.
