NOVEL CURE FOR PROFANITY.
Tin Medal Put to Good Use in an ILL

"The boys in our high school have
a novel method Of breaking themselves

a country town. IN e habit Of swear
ing had grown among them until it
was noticed by the principal. He
called them together and after show
ing them the wickedness and folly of
profanity suggested a remedy. He
had prepared a tin medal to be worn
by the last fellow using a cuss wo1u,
,nd this, he said, would be hung on the
wall till the first oath was uttered,
when the swearer must wear it till
the next man swore, and so on. The
boys agreed to the plan and the medal
was hung up in view of all.
THE noon recess came and in five
minutes several of the boys came run
ming in to get the medal. John Smith
had used an oath and they wanted to
pin the medal on him. John did not
wear it long, for another boy soon
forgot himself and the medal was
transferred. Before the close Of the
noon recess seven or eight had worn
it. For several days it changed hands
pretty often and went nearly the round
of the school. Then its unfortunate
wearers found it hard to get rid of it.
