 Start right, boys, To be any body, to accomplish anything for yourself or the community you cannot be idle. Don't drink liquor it destroys the miha and body. Don't swear gentlemen do not. Don t read trashy Hteratnre-it leads to evil. Don't hang around saloons gentlemen are not made that way. Whenever you see q man laying around a saloon the devil is after him and will get him sooner or later. Benjamin Frank lin would never have accomplished anything if he had been guilty of these practices. Be honest, above ali things. Poor boys make the best future citizens.
 To make a good man you must be a good boy. So start right. Graveyards are filed with those who started wrong. Let me inn press upon you the only road to success is by living right. Be honest, industrious and frugal. It is not necessary to be sanctimonius to wear long face. Keep laughing. Have a good time as you go through life, but let it be the right sort Of a good time.
