"Wild Animals I Have Known" The
programme as a whole looks interest
ing.
so-CalIed Bad Boys.
There has been no dear.h of wise
comments on the 14-yearold boy who
tried to ditch trains down near Brook
Ign, in this county. Most people seem
to think that the boy should be struck
dead with an AK
AS a matter of fact, a 14-year-Old
boy is about as irresponsible a being
as exists outside the asylums. His
mind is filled with dreams. He has
no experience to guide him. The great
world, including his own affectionate
parents, regard all his actions, good
or bad alike, as deviltry to be sup
pressed by law and violence.
The great secret Of boy training is
to direct the resources and energies
of hand and will. These simply must
have eXpl eSSiOn. There are few bad
boys of IA. There are perverts-the
fruit of blind or lazy, neglectful pa
rental training. But until boy is past
IA, he is scarcely a responsible offend
err The father is too lazy or selfish to
play with his boy, and to explain to
him the fascinating mystery OF q loco
motive, and to show him where the
woodchuck builds its hole. The father
prefers his lodge and his own pleas
ures, and the boy is thrown on his own
devices. The secret Of success in rails
ing children is unselfshness. 1t is the
parent who sacrifices his own pleas
ures and gives his time to his children
in the tender years; who is willing to
go down on lis own stomach and drink
out of the brook, to catch perch and to
try electrical experiments with the
piece Of rubber and the glass goblet.
This parent will succeed. When the
boy is older there is no company so
good as such a dads. No boy whose
father has taken the trouble to escort
with him climbed into the cab and
been shown where t;amps ride under
the freight cars; no such boys wreck
railroad trains. The child who wrecks
trains has never had his attention
called to the seriousness of it. He
does not know any better. The time
to punish children is when they are
very young; then they should be taught
wisely and lovingly to obey their par
ents. For parents to neglect the child
until it is II or Il and then to seek to
make him dutiful, is folly. 1t is too
late.

Senator s,out's Useful Work

Considerations CT this sort magnify
manual training. 1t shows that such
men as James H. Stout are the SUI
preme philanthropists. Manual train
ing affords something for the restless
boy to do. Instead of wrecking trains,
he can mould his little iron castings,
and with the lathe shape croquet NAL
let's and tool handles. He would lath-
er do one or the other. Madison can
not too soon set up manual training.
There is a stream of youthful passion
and energy that will find vent in the
next dozen years. 1t is up to the citi-
zens and board Of education to decide
whether to direct the youthful tempest
to make it a benefit or to turn it
loose on the community in unframed,
ignorant, and violent ways. There are
boys of IA who don't know any better
but not many bad boys of IA. The
world is full of lazy, self-indulgent
pa: ents, who expect children to know
wisdom without being taught. 1t is
they who give innocent, generous and
affectionate youth it's bad name.

Unsupported Drinks and Drugs.

Those who know, say there is a
great abuse in patent medicines in
this, that some of them are nothing
more than a cover for a drink Of
whisky or brandy. That many patent
medicines come under the head of the
faith cure is generally admitted; the
remedy is believed by the patient to
do him good and that is the important
thing. The rest is nobody's business.
But it appears that not only the base
but in the case of some remedies the
major part of it is alcoholic, designed
ly so to catch the public. A weekly
paper not long ago published a list of
some twenty very well-known rene
dies-We see the advertisements in the
papers every day, and it appears by
chemical analysis that from So to so
per cent. of their contents is whisky,
brandy or some other alcoholic. This
is especially true of ''tonics," "cures,"
etc. In other words, the patient pays
q fancy price for" drink"-in many
cases he is led to contract the habit for
drink The percentage of alcohol is as
big as often a man gets in q saloon,
where adulteration is practiced. Con
scientious people who cannot be per-
suaded to take drink Of brandy, buy
these cures" like the taste, buy more
of it, and confuse eXhileration with a
recovery from some disease they did
not have.
More serious, the drug habit is fas
tened on men and women by the sale
of catarrh remedies, headache cures,
etc. that are nothing but cocaine or
other pleasing drug in convenient
forms. The big sale of these remedies
is not for the cure or anything but
to crafty the habit.

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at hand
and given as oon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become
settled in the system. In almost every
Instance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as
soon as the tirslsindication Of the cold
appears. There is no danger in giving
it to children for it contains no harm
full substance. 1t is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it. Buy
it and you will get the best. 1t always
