HIS FATHERS REBUKE.

1t was said of Admiral Farragut
THAT he could preach as we'll as he

."W1eH he prays, he prays as if all
DEPENDED on God, and when he fights,
Ee fights as if all depended on him
;e.t. There was a time, however,
when Farragut was neither manly
nor religious. How the change came
about, under a reproOf from his
father, Is thus narrated in Turning
Points in successful Careers :"

DON'T LEAN ON YOUR ADVANTAGES.

Self reliance is a part of our edu-
cation. The baby who starts off
triumphantly on a journey across
the room, gets in occasional trouble,
but if he were always clinging to a
chair or Il sustaining hand, he would
never learn to walk alone.
We sometimes wonder why the
boy who has d father and mother to
car for him, who has plenty of
money, a chance for all the school
ing he wants, friends, pleasures, and
an hOnOred name, makes less Of a
success of life than another boy who
started his career selling newspapers,
a ragged friendless little orphan, and
worked his way up to a position of
prominence and trust. Such cases
Go not prove that home and friends
and opportunities are disadvantages,
but only that they are advantages
which can be misused.
The good things God gives you are
meant for tools, not crutches. In
stead of leaning on them, you T to
use them. It is we'll to remember
that the very thing which rightly
employed may be of the utmost SER
vice, Is only an injury if it inter-
feres with the development of self
reliance.-EX.

A Jewish proverb says, Michael

THE BOY WHO LIKES HORSES

In a Ems almost every boy likes
a good horse. There are few things
he enjoys more than the exhilara-
ton of "a long drive, or better still, a
brisk canter in the fresh, out-of-
door air. If he is allowed to be his
own driver, a tlngling pride runs
from the lines to his very fnger-tips
as he realizes his power to control
the big creature who is so ignorant
of his own strength.
Yet sometimes these very boys are
thOughtlessly indifferent to the well
fare of their faithful dumb friends.
They never think of driving slowly
because the day IS hot, or of post
pOning their pleasure till the sun is
low. If they are in d hurry to get
to some particular place or to do
some particular thing, they quite
disregard their horses eager chances
toward the watering trOughs along
the way. In the winter they leave
the poor animal shivering at the
hitch1ng-post without a sign of a
blanket, while they are enjoying
themselves indoors.
There is a great difference between
liking a thing, and liking what we
can get out of it. The boy who
lashes a tired horse to keep him at
the top of his speed, Or neglects to
give him food and water at the right
time, likes himself and his own sell
fish pleasure, but not the faithful
servant to whom so much of his en-
joyment is due.-YOung Peoples
Weekly.
An exchange says that ''laying on
of hands" for complaints, especially
in children, is now taking the place
of faith cures and hypnotism. A
mother cured her son of using pro-
fame language with one dose. She
laid her left hand on a substantial
slipper, and then laid the slipper
where it would do the most good,
It effected a cure, u relapse is not
looked for. There are d number of
boys in KinstOn that undoubtedly
need Il heavy application OF this old
remedy.-KinstOn Free Press.

party had narrow escapes.

and was going north on East Broad
street at. a rapid speed. A stream of
people was crossing East Broad street
on Bolton, while others were standing
in the path of the frightened animal

efforts were made by pedestrians to
stop the animal. but he went dashing
into the crowd on Bolton street
After knocking down the stranger
the horse narrowly missed striking
