 | WORD TO PARENTS.-A reader
 of The Republican offers the following
 contribution for the consideration of parents Of boys as well as that of dog fanciers: "If a man had a bull pup he | would look after it carefully and not | let it run all over town at night. But if | he has a boy it is different. He is turned loose at tender age to go to | the bad. and people wonder where the
 great army of buns. tramps. dead
 beats, loafers and gamblers come from.
 They are germinated from pure seed gathered from home sown broadcast on
 the streets and alleys. The boys ought
 to be given a showing equal to that of
 the bull pup"
