Don't Waste Your Youth, Use 1t In
Getting an Education.

How the handicapped millionaire cn.
vics boys in school or college and would
give half his wealth for the chance to
lay foundation which they are think
ing of spurning! How many an embar-
rassed man in public life longs to re-
live boyhood that he may correct the
mistakes of his youth! How much more
he could make of his life, of his posi-
ton, if he had cultivated his mind
when young! He does everything at Il
disadvantage. His grasp of documents,
speeches and books is weak because he
does not know bow to study. He must
employ n literary secretary to save him.
self from blundcrs of grammar, errors
in history and biography or in politi-
cal economy. He is forced to petty ex-
pedicnts to hide his ignorance.
Oh, what pity 1t is to see splendid
ability made to do the work of medioc-
rity! a man Of magnificent parts, feel
ing that he IS by nature intended to
shine rs a leader, is pitiable when
compelled to do the work of an inferior
and plod along in hopeless obscurity.
The eager unrest of youth that chafes
at restraining school walls and longs to
rush to action makes havoc with count
less careers. In after days the old prov
erb will ring mockingly in memory:
He that will not when he may
When he would he shall have nay.
What are investments in bonds and
stocks, in houses and lands, compared
with investment in an education, in n

the life and be perpetual blessing to

"Thcre was no sleep for me the rest
Of that night, and little there was for
any man. The whole city was in fer
ment, and at daylight, instead of the
fever of the night abating, it was
grown into n delirium, may say.
Then, what with bells ringing and
drums beating and all people crazed
with the spirit of the evil one, the day
broke and the clouds hung heavy over
the city, and evil was the omen OF
them.

named Maillard at the head of them.
at was n wonderful sight, Gillicuddy,
to see that army of women, with wild
cries and mad antics, just follow in the
wake Of Mime. Merricourt and take the
road for Versailles and half of Paris
following after. 1t was an army that
pressed its recruits with small cere-
mOny, and no man or woman dared to
say nay to its invitation. a merry
army it was and an army not to be re.
sisted, so that people, willy nilly, were
got into its ranks and just hurried on
with q devil may care mixture of trag
cdy and humor. With suppication
ana polite invitation and threat-ayc,
and banter-the army was recruited,
and when these failed then 1t was at
the point OF pike that the recruits
took service or were dragged by the
neck into the midst Of it.
"I was not for taking service in Ii
myself, being more bent on taking the
part Of witness of it's maneuvers,

The word treacle has undergone an
odd modification. At first it was applied
to such decoctions Of roots or other sub
