Young man! You love your mother
and you take occasion to show your
love for her in ways that she well IN
derstands. But your father, my boy.
You love him, too, in a different sort
of way. But do you honor him? And
DO you show that you do? Deep down,
below the crust, Of course you honor
your father. But not until you have
boy Of your own will you know how
much you hurt your fathers heart
when you fieut his advice or show by
your manner that you think the "old
man" is kind of back number. Just
so certainly as you live there will
come a day when you will remember
your unfilial attitude toward your dad
and be sorry for it. And then it will
be too late. Father may be sleeping
in his grave and you will have life
long regret. The keenest remorse you
will ever know will be the memory Of
for your father. When the thought Of
present days shall come to you, you
will remember that you often showed
your mother the affection you felt for
her and denied it to your father, whom
you also loved. Remember, son, that
fathers ways are not your mothers
ways. Father has had to fight the
world for your bread and butter and
the world has taught him to conceal
his feelings. He loves you just as
much as mother does only he cannot
show it. Under his vest he yearns for
your filial smile. And when you do
anything to be proud of nobody on
earth is prouder Of you than father
OF course, know, you think father Is
not in every respect up-to-date, that he
hasn't kept up with the procession and
that sometimes he Is unnecessarily
firm and arbitrary. All that may be
true. But the chances are father
knows more about almost everything
than you do. When you are, say, 80
years old, you will realize that fact
If you live a long time in this world
my boy, you will always be led to say
that the safest and sanest adviser you
ever had was your father. Honor the
man who looks like you.

just Feeling Rich.

Its a queer thing, this belonging
to club" said the man who had Just
paid his first dues. But it's fine to
feel rich, even once in a while.
Take the simplest thing in the
world-going into the house. All my
life I've been used to fishing around
for a latchkey, wriggling out Of my
overceat, and hollering to know who
was home.
But when I go into my club-notice
my club I can say it easily now
when I go into my club, as l say, I
don't even push open a door, Some
one in livery does that and bows as
I stalk past. I am allowed to lift my
hat off, but that's about all. And ev-
eryone says Sir to me until feel as
if part of the mint was mine.
Same way If I eat there. Takes
a head waiter and at least one every
day waiter to get me into a chair.
And as for wondering what we're 60
ing to have for dinner and if Sundays
roast beef isn't about flnished-why.
l can have roast beef fresh every day.
You can do all that in q fine hotel
or restaurant, but you don't get called
by name unless you're more of a
rounder than am-and what's worse
is that you're not expected to sit
around and be waited on unless you're
spending money when you're in such
a place.
'Oh, it's great to feel rich now and
then, and l don't know that it makes
home seem any worse"
