Th0ughtIsss Act Destroys Boys HaPpi-
ness.
While the grown up folks are dis
cussing the more serious problems of
life in this world, want to have a
few words with "our boys" To be-
gin, 1 will tell you a true story. Now
listen.
Once upon time there lived down
in Kentucky a boy-just a common,
everyday farm boy. We could hard
~ call him cruel, but will be lenient
with him and say he was thonghtless.
This boy was a great lover of nature,
and delighted to spend his spare
time strolling in the woods OF along
the river where we're many beautiful
places, and where many charming
flowers grew, and scores Of birds sang
their songs of peace and freedom
from the trees, as though their little
hearts we're bursting for very JOY. Nc
need to ask If the boy was happy, f0I
| who could not be with such surround
inga. Well, to make a long story
short, the boy carried a little rifle,
and many times was the peace dis
turbed by the cracking of the CUR
and the dull thud OF a bird as iti
mangled body fell to the ground.
So one day, be fired at a bird
whose bright plumage attracted hi
attention, and as he picked 1t up, Il
raised Its head and trilled forth th'
sweetest song that ever came from
the throat Of bird. Imagine the feel
inRs of that boy, as he held in hi
hand the mangled form Of one o
Gods creatures, an innocent bird

giving It's last breath in sweet song;
but there 1t lay In his hand, dead.
No more will the air be filled with
thy sweet song, little bird; no more
will you sing songs of praise TO thy
Creator. No, thy song Is hushed
forever, but thy works live after
thee. Still stood the boy, great
tears falling from his eyes, now that
he realized what he had done, Then
and there he resolved never again to
harm bird or other living creatm 9,
and the Lesson he has never forgotten
to this day.
Now, boys, l ask you to promise
never to harm any living creature,
but to try to protect them from harm.
Be clean and manly In all you do,
and do nothing until you first ask
conscience, sis II rightf" Be true
to yourself, keep good company, OF
none. Above all things, leave bad
books alone. Three prisoners under
sentence Of death In Chicago, say
that reading dime novels caused
them to lead a life of crime. The
boy Of today has more opportunities
than at any period in the worlds
history, II he so Wills. On the Other
hand we'll, tho wages Of sin Is degra
dalton and death. Practical Farmer
