a HAPPY MAN.

". w. Dobson of Mesa was in town
Yesterday and it could easilv be seen
NV the smile on his face and the look
'n his eye that something of an unus-
Ual nature had happened to him re-
sently. Investigation DEVELOPED the
fact that his JOY was occasioned by
the birth of a son at his house the
day before New Years. This is the
first time such an event has taken
place in Mr.. Dobson's household for
ten years and he has a right to put on
airs. Just a year ago the same thing
happened at A. ]. Houstons home. eX-
cept that it was a girl. At that time
Mr.. Dobson accused Mr.. Houston Of
getting a case of the swell head" to
such an extent that when he tried to
crawl through a fence that he had been
IN the habit of going through easily
he found the wires much too close to-
gether. Mr.. Houston retaliates by
stating as a positive fact that there
wasn't a street in Mesa wide enough

WHAT UUR BOYS READ.

What do our children read? And
how shall we regulate that reading?
are questions which many fathers and
mothers may well ask themselves to-
day, tomorrow and as many days in
fact, as there are in the formative years
of their children's lives. Why? For
the true though trite reason that the
brain Of the child feeds upon the liter
allure which falls into its hands, and
that, to a certain extent, becomes a
part of him, reflecting itself in his ev-
eryday life, ordering his course among
his fellows either rightly or wrongly,
end always in accordance with the men
tel reactions which it has aided in
forming. 1t is needless to pursue this
line of thought: but clearly, good, pure
books, which inculcate the fundament-
ais of right conduct toward parents, to-
ward olaymates, toward the little
world which forms the early environ
ment of the untutered mind. never poi

rents of life's stream.

frequently. About the time one of them
would begin to build him uD he would
refuse to take his medicine. and the
only thing to DO was to get new
