Homo Training the Best.

AS men are largely the creatures Of
environment, the home life of boy is
necessarily largely responsible for his
character. If he Is parentless and is
left by, society to shift for himself,
probably to inhabit the haunts Of vice
and crime, his criminal education Is
begun early and is speedily finished.
If he Is neglected by shiftless and
careless father or mother, his foot
steps turn irresistably to the prison
door. It Is only by intelligent home
training, by the proper exercise OF pa
rental authority, by tender solicitude
for the physical wants and moral
needs of our children, that We can
hope to make them good men and wo.
men. A neglected child is usually q
child lost. 1t imbibes premature ideas
OF independence, goes forth into TIT
world before its time and Is dazzled
by the palaces of sin and the haunts
OF crime.-Ex.

No, not exactly that. But the Off.

punishment just as much as the Chi

Possibly prohibition does Lot pro

Billy Bryan, q versatile Nebraskan,
says that the only political issue that
can hold the attention of the people is

have been giving to boodleism and

issues get something of grip on the
