PLAYING For KeeDs.

l have observed in the larger game
of marbles which we call making a
living" that most of the boys are
playing for keeps" and only few for
fun and that those who are playing
for keeps are the boys with the most
influence and standing in the COM
munity. | know n whole lot of boys,
some of them living in Massachusetts,
today, who are playing for keeps, but
instead of marbles they are using
wheat or corn or railroad stocks. No
one of them knows just whom he Is
playing against, but each knows that
for each dollar he wins dollar is lost
by some one else.
Nevertheless am old fogy enough to
say that for myself do not regret my
early training, nor am ! ready to leave
behind it's principles, but as long as
the majority of parents wish their
boys to be successful it seems to me
you ought to make it clear that play
ing marbles for keeps is an excellent
way of drilling boys in that acquisi-
tiveness which will make it possible
for them in after years to provide their
wives and daughters with silk dresses,
opera cloaks and misunderstanding

The custom of wishing n friend "a

the we'll fitting boot or shoe, which en-

The accidental placing Of the right

view. To tie the shoe Of another indi
