A STORY FOR BOYS.

This is the story for boys 1t is not exactly a
Sunday school story but it has the right sort of
good ring to it just the same
Frank Provost, of Toledo, Ohio, drives delivery
wagon. He is u pleasant and accommodating lad
and when an old gentleman asked him if he could
ride about the city with him. Frank readily assent
ed.
After an hours drive the stranger asked Frank
to go to saloon and have drink. The boy de-
clined saying he drank. The old man asked
if he chewed tobacco and upon receiving reply in
the negative offered the boy cigar which he also
declined. That is the first chapter
The old man who rode with the delivery boy was
that eccentric millionaire, Mr.. Higgnson of San
Francisco. Higginson, wherever he goes is looking
for boys like Frank Provost. Before leaving Toledo
the millionaire went to Frank and presented him
with 81 100 in bank notes, which the boy will use to
start business for himself
The moral is plain. 1t pays to be pleasant and
accommodating, even to strangers 1t pays to have
a good moral character.
You may not be asked to give millionaire in dis
guise lift, and again, you may, for Hgginson is
always on his travels and always the lookout for
boys. But whether you meet Higginson or not
there Others on the lookout.
Remember how Diogenes went about the streets
of Athens looking for a man? WE'LL the world is
looking for man. And the world usually finds

boy, but the world will be glad to give it to you
