A LESSON FROM SCHOOL.

According to an interesting story
published by the New York World, an
old gentleman Of Cleveland, Deacon
Aaron Picket, has made an observa-
ton that should convey lesson 70 the
boys and girls now growing up 20
manhood and womanhood. 1t Is this.
that their present conduct IS but the
commencement Of a career that will.
IN all probability be determined in ac-
cordance with this beginning, just az
the course OF vessel H. from the en-
trance upon the voyage. set with view
20 reaching the goal for which It IL
destined.
The gentleman named SAYS that in
1888 he was pupil IN q class IN o small
country school, There were thirty IN
the class, ranging IN axe from Fix to
tvelves years, The teacher, q sensible
young lady. told them from the out
set that she would depend on their
honor 20 keep order 10 the class. and
she gave them but one rule to follow;
do nothing that WIN distract the at
aention OF another pupil from his
work.
Mr.. Pickett says all the pupils pro-
missed to obey that rule voluntarily, bur

pledge one week remained faithful Tor
the entire term.
Mr. Pickett says he has watched these
boys and noted their different careers,

Now IN this article shall try. In the
briefest manner possible to make clear
two things of which | am firmly con-
WINGED. First, that there are POSSIBLE
ties OF physical development far be-
yond the present achievements, and
secondly, that there are certain very
simple methods by which these posi-
bllitles may I'm every case be attained.
The first object Of physical methods
should be to straighten and expand the
body. The world may, in a broad,
general way, be divided into two great
classes--the erect and the inerect, the
strong and the weak The epoch maxi

tobacco and one had become involved
In lawsuit They all bore good repu-
tatlons in the communities where they
lived ana were numbered among the
best citizens, though not among the
wealthy
The three once disobedient boys could
not claim records OF that kind. One
was a lawyer ruined by drink and
often in Jail. Another was a small
rated farmer frequently In trouble.
Nearly all Of the disobedlent had been
seish-more anxious to satisfy their
own desires for license than to live for
the good OF themselves and the re-
malnder of the community. AS a re-
suit they were dlsturbers. given free

being such as would tend to shorten
q human life.
Seventy years after the school ex-
rorenoe there were still eight Of the
good boys living, while only two Of the
other class were this side Of eternity,
The story certainly conveys an inn
portant lesson to the younger genera
ton. Obedience Is IN the law Of God
enjoned as u condition OF long life,
and prosperity. That Is proved to be
n correct principle, without the char
acter that can conpler and control
self, there can be NO happiness, and
without happiness longevity would not
be blessing.

The Splendid Conceit
 Of Chief Geronimo

Every tourist who gets as far down as Lswton and learns that Fort Sill is close st hand begins to make in quiries concerning Geronimo, the fa- nous old Apache warrior. The tour ist wants to see this chief. The chief does not care to be seen. Therefore. he waxes naughty and exclusive.
 The old chief is known by a star he wears on tine side of his cap, a sort of indication of his rank. The rest of his raiment is not SO impressive Sometimes it is even indicativeo of neg feet that ill becomes a great chieftain of a famous tribe of fierce warriors. Local historians tell us that Geronimo has been many times married, but the history is vague and hard to confirm. The old man is above S5, but, owing to his natural health and his outdoor life through a career of vigorous ac- tivity he does not appear to be above sixty.
