The Curfew Law is mighty
good one, and is strictly enforced
In Victoria. There are number
OF young men in this city who
abuse themselves by staying up
late at nights when such is not
necessity. Age prevents the curfew
law from covering their case.
Such youngsters smoke themselves
sick on cigarettes; stay out so late
at night that they have no strength
or spirit for their work spend all
their money aud run in debt; keep
bad company, and work never
except when they are being ObSerV-
ed by their employers. These
boys do not End ont until it is too
late, that good behavior and de-
Votion to the work committed to
them are the paths to success, and
then they say the success of those
who have done these things is only
their luck.-Viet0ria Fact.
