But down under the boys vest is
a biz love for his mother. She has
the advantage. And she ought to he
as careful in handling him as she
was in handling his father in the old
counting days. The boys mother il
his sweetheart She should treat him
as lover.
The mother forgets.
She has headache. or is tired.
The boy jangies her nerves. She
flares up at him. She rumples him.
His quick spirit flies to seif-defcnse.
II is soon over. The boy loves his
mother just the same. But the whole
transaction is miserable failure.
The boys disposition to lose his tenn
per has had push. His tendency
grows into character. and character
makes destiny.
Punish the boy. OF course, but do
not make both Yourself and
himself miserable by nagging at him
and scolding him.
Remember
He Will not be your boy very long.
Soon. too soon. be viii be beard.

DON'T sCOLD
YOUR BOY.

Tell the mothers not TO scold the
boys. Never in my life did l say
don't TO my children, They were
ruled BY love. and have never dis
appointed me.
That is an extract from letter
from an old woman TO an editor.
Why scoid the boy?
To be sure. he is noisy and in the
way. lie comes into the house like
a whirlwind. He throws his cap in
one corner and his books in another.
He sprawls at his meals. and gulps.
kicks his sister on the shins under
the table. makes faces. leases the
house cat. and is everlastingly in ev-
idence.
But the boy is built for noise. He
must have an escape valve. He is
making himself fit TO go up against
things lie will need every pound OF
that surplus vitality.
Don't scold him for what he can't
help.
A noisy. self-centered. forgetful
boy is not necessarily bad boy. But
IL you scold him you stir up what bad
is in him. 1t is easy to nag good
natured boy into rebellion and sharp
retort.
Inside the boys heart is as tender
as his ways are rough outside. The
hoy does not wear his heart on his
sleeve. But he is not callous. One
reason why the boys father can
scarcely get into close touch with him
is because the father has the boys
way--rough on the outside.

PUBLIC MEN.

Naturally enough, the men who ply
the muck-rake do not agree with the
President in his general denouncia-
ton of those who are looking for
evil in public men and for corruption
I in public life, and who see nothing
but that which they seek. But these
who have read The Companion at
tentively are aware that il has al
ways maintained not merely that
there are able, patriotic, high minded
and honorable men in public life, and
in all parties, but that they consti-
tute the vast majority.
They represent the communities
that chose them, ana those communi-
ties are composed for the most part
OF true men. Corruption and wicked
ness are 10 be ferreted out pursued
and punished wherever found: but it
is an injustice to denounce a whole
class of men because some of them.
very few, are guilty of wrong-do-
ing.
\ remarkable case of the muck
rake spirit. that is, of seeing moth
ing but a single particle of evil in a
lifetime of honorable service, was
lately witnessed in England. Lord
Miner, the late high commissioner
for South Africa, sanctioned on one
occasion the administration of cor
poral punishment TO some Chinese
offenders men imported to work in
the mines.
Although this was the only act
which his political opponents could
bring against him, and although
Lord Miner acknowledged that II
was mistake which he regretted a
resolution Of censure Of the act. Lord
Miners name not being mentioned
was passed by the House of Commons
after a debate in which very severe
| language was used The house OF
Lords did its best to Offset this action
( by adopting resolution of apprecia-
| ton Of Lord Miners great services

that the past FIVE men who had been
speakers Of the house sought the
presidency, and only one obtained
