down to Mrs. Jones'" Then he
would turn to us and say, mo.
guess I can't use you" Then with
our young heart almost bursting
with grief we would fake a handful
of dried currants and depart. If we
started in to be bootblack and set
our outfit down to stop a runaway
horse and earn a large reward it
happens in the story books--the
horse invariably trampled on our
bare toes, the owner thereof either
gave us nickle for saving h wife
or a cusslng for saving his mother
in-law and when we return to the
curbing we found that some son-of-
a-gun had swiped our backing kit.
lido not believe that all great men
were great boys nor that bad boys
necessarily become bad men. Some
of my boyhood acquaintance who
went to Sunday school while I went
fishing are now in the penitentiary,
while have thus far been able to
prove an alibi. I do not believe
George Dewey became great
because he sawed wood for widow
when boy and I do not believe
that Benedict Arnold became a
traitor simply because he once Gagged
a neighbours dog when he was boy.
Why, once stoned cat to death
because it had fits and yet my
grandmother died a natural death
and not from any act of violence on
my part. So don't get discouraged
because you are mean or because
you have never done anything
startling. There's no telling the
luck of calf. You may be a slugger,
gambler and drunkard all your
life and yet be doomed for mayor of
classic Boston as John l.. Sullivan
was or you may be neither
remarkably honest nor remarkably
brilliant and still become leader of
a great political party as Mark
Hanna did. On the other hand you
may lead an upright life for years
and then by misstep get sent to
the Legislature and become a boodler
or get elected to the presidency of a
bloodsucking corporation.

get out and kick the chandelier and
spit through their teeth and take an
interest in things. We need wo-
men in congress to stand on the
hurricane deck of the ship of state
and direct the fight on oleomargar-

and yell: "Whoop la! Down with

Of course I do not mean one OF hose

order boys like you read about in the
story book and Puck and the Sunday
school paper. But a real live sure
huff boy with perpetually stubbed
toe and cluster Of warts on the back
of his freckled paw. A boy who de-
fes the laws of nature and his grand
mother by going barefoot early in
the spring and late in the fall and
swimming all through dog days. A
boy who has had hives and exper-
fenced the joy of scratching them
and who has raced and ranted and
tished and swan all day and slept
like a log with his anatomy full of
green apples. Most men started life
as boys and know the joys and sor-
rows of a boys life and just what he
has to face. Perhaps you would never

and I know that the boys head is
full of illusions that must some day
be dispelled and the sooner the bet
ter for the boy. He ought to know
the truth and I'm going to tell it once
if it kills me.
The truth is this: In a short time
the twenty second of FEBRUARY will
roll around and between now and
then the papers will be full of little
hatchet stories on the immortal
Washington. Now these stories
tend to discourage boys who have
no Ratchet and no cherry tree to
chop. They think there is no hope
for them to become great. They are
taught r. believe that they must ape
the actions of great, men if they
would be great. But this,is a fall
lacy, An ape never becomes a great
man, even if Darwin does say so.
individuality makes men great.
Chopping down a cherry tree won't
make any boy great-even if he lies
about it. Then, besides, that story
on George is a fake of first water
anyhow That same story has been
told on men in every tongue and
every cline since Adam was cub.
The last man to whom the act is at

principally of that which the boys
longed for-canned whisky with a
beautiful picture of luscious peaches
without. The first night that this unc-
tuous sutler camped with his brigade
was one of great rejoicing. But, alas!
when morning came that suffers
stock had vanished, and not soldier
knew whence it had come, nor with

While this happy brigade lay at Mil

that solid sutler of the Ninety-third
Illinois, with splendid stock of all
g, soldier needed, excepting canned
whisky, but he had one-half barrel of
beer, which, alas for the heer.lovers
of the Twenty sixth Missouri, was first
discovered by the boys Of the Fifth
- Iowa. One of that poor but sturdy
band of fighters, who knew allsthe mys-
teries of "chuck- luck" and ex-
planned them to his dear comrades OF
the Ninety-third Illinois, actually had
money, and he bought that half bar
rel of beer. That night his company
Jared sumptuously, but the next morn
ing there was wailing in the camp Of
the Fifth Iowa, for capital was needed
TO continue the "chuck- -a-luck" indus
try, and 10, the boys had none. But
again the occasion brought forth the
man, and his name was "Lafe." In
the night he carried that half-barrel
to the bank of the river, and there it
was filled with wholesome Mississippi
water. In the morning, accompanied
by a guard of his comrades, he started
that half-barrel rolling through the
camp of the Ninety-third Illinois, ap-
parently in great haste to reach the
camp of the Fifth Iowa, but was
hailed and finally halted by nearly a
thousand Illinoisans. To save that half
barrel, he was compelled to sell it to
those cruel marauders for the small
sum of $50. Behold, the Fifth Iowa
again had capital, and schuck-a-luck''
proceeded. II 5 s 5B:
