A Rising Son of the West.
(By Frederic K. Winsor.)

Jay Darwin Bacon, II years old said to be
the only boy in the United States who is stenog
rapher in Juvenile Court lives in Denver He
holds this position under Judge Ben B. Lindsey
of Denver, whose good work in the Juvenile
Court has given him national prominence. He
also acts as private secretary to Judge Lindsey.
Young Bacon was born in Tyler MINI. After
the death of his father, he removed with his
mother and brother to Denver. where he was com
PEELED to leave school and seek work at the earl,
age of II. He became telephone boy in large
office building, and won many friends by his frank
open countensnce, pleasing manners. and willing
ness to serve his employer. With a determination
to better his condition in life, he set about learn
ing shorthand under the instruction of II. d. Col
burn, his stepfaher and after studying nights for
year and half he became proficient in the art
Then it was that Judge Lindsey learning of the
boys struggles, gave him work as a stenographer,
and later he promoted him to the position of trust
and responsibility he occupies.
The lad is taking up the study of law during
his spare time, and already possesses a remarka-
bic understanding of legal questions. He finds
Judge Lindsey willing to loan him textbooks on
law, and to offer him encouragement in many
ways. Like many of thei great men of past or
present time, Jay Bacon is rising above the dis
couragements and liisappointments of life, and
pressing forward toward honorable success.

Advice to a Young Man,

Remember my son, you have to work. Whether
YOU handle pick pen. wheelbarrow or a set of
books. digging bitches or editing paper, ringing
an auction bell or writing funny things, you must
work. If you look around, you will see that men
who are the most able TO live the rest of their days
without work the men who work the hardest
Don't be afraid of killing yourself with overwork
IT is beyond your power to do that the sunny
side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is be-
cause they quit work at 6 p. and don't get home
until a. m. It's the interval that kills, my son.
The work gives you appetite for your meals; it
lends sodity to your slumbers; it gives you a per-
feet and grateful appreciation of a holiday.
There young who do not work, but the
world is not proud of them. 1t does not know
their names even; it simply speaks of them as "old
No-and-So's boy" nobody likes them; the great
busy world does moi know they there. So find
out what you want to be and do, and take off your
coat and make dust in the world The buster you
the less harm you viii be likely to get into the
~Yeeter viii be your sleep, the brighter and happier
our holidays. and the better satisfied will the world
pc with you.-Robert Burdette.

A Princes Kindness.

While yet heir to the throne Frederick VIII
the King of Denmark, had OCCASION on sew
eral of his journeys, to visit Paris and the Riviera
This little anecdote, which shows the mans simple
and charming kindness, is told by diplomat who
once had the honor of accompanying him to Nice
One day the prince and the diplomat we're walk
ing through the market place on the Boulevard Sal
eva. As they picked their way along the narrow
path. formed by the venders baskets one of the lit
tie girls who work as "portairis" offered her ser
vices to the prince in the customary words:
Garry, sir, carryE'
But l am not buying, little one he replied
$50 | have nothing for you to carry"
The child started to 60 on her way when sud
denly he called her back and began questioning her
He learned that she lived with an invalid aunt-oId
and poor.
Come" said he, 4 am going to buy"
And she went along while he bought vegetables
pates and fruit, two chickens and some cheese
When the basket was filed imagine her delighted
astonishment as he exclaimed:
There! Carry this home to your aunt-and
don't work any today"

A WORD WITH THE GIRLS.

It is the girl who does things in this world who
is attractive both to and to her own SEX which
last counts little, too, in the long run. You may
not be able to do great things, to paint great pic
lures or to sing in grand opera but you cap learn
to make bright little things for yourself and your
day so that your friends will enjoy them. and if
you can't do anything else cultivate he art of talk
ing brightly and of being sympathetic. Every girl
do one thing well if she will only take the trou-
bic to find out what that thing Is The difficulty
is that she often looks in the opposite directiou
she wants to do something great and SNOWY or moth
ing at all But there other talents within reach
if she will only look and these talents may be such
a comfort to her in her dark hours that they will
make life better and happier both for herself and
those about her. How the world likes cheerful,
pucky girl who maks brave fight and hides her
skeleton in closet instead of folding her hands
and whining because things don't come her way

The Boys We All Like.

The boy who never makes fun of old age, no
matter how decrepit or unfortunate or evil it may
be- Gods hand rests lovingly on the aged head.
The boy who never cheats is unfair in his
play. Cheating is contemplate anywhere and at
any age. His play should strengthen not weaken,
his character.
The boy who never cals anybody bad names. no
matter what anybody calls him. He cannot throw
mud and keep his own hands clean
The boy who is never cruel. He has no right to
hurt even in fly needlessl,. Cruelty is the trait of
a bully; kindliness is the mark of gentleman
The boy who never lids. Even white lies leave
spots on the character.
The boy who never makes fun Of companion
because of misfortune he could not help.
The boy who never hesitates to say no when
asked to do a wrong thing.
The boy who never quarreIs When your tongue
gets unruly, lock it in.
The boy who never forgets that God made him
to be joyous, loving, lovable helpful thing.

Jim's Sweetheart.

Mother put on her Sunday best.
Her lilac wedding gown,
And white straw bonnet neatly tied
With strings of faded brown;
We woke before the ROSTERS crowed.
And started in the dew
To see the boat race, for our Jim
Was captain of the crew.
lie took it in his curly head
TO want a college course;
! parted with the pasture LOT
And sold the sorrel horse.
We sent him every penny saved.
And made a seedy pair
In garments that had long outlived
Their days of useful wear.
The surging throng closed up in front.
We could not see our son,
But soon a mighty cheer went up.
And told us Jim had won.
The crowd took up the college yell
And sent it to the skies,
And college colors everywhere
Shook out their brilliant dyes.
He stepped ashore, looked up and saw
His mothers wrinlded face,
And hurried to her through the ranks
Of broadcloth, silk and lace.
He never gave a single glance
Toward the pretty girls.
But kissed her on the withered lips.
And kissed her silver curls.
His sunburnt face was glorifed
With proud and happy smiles,
He did not mind because her hat
Was years behind the styles,
Bur led her out before his friends.
\ figure quaint and prim.
in stiff, old-fashioned lilac silk
My sweetheart, boys" said Jim.

Not Work, But Worry.

1t is not the work, but the worry.
That wrinkles tIhe smooth fair face.
That blends gray hairs with the dusky.
And robs the form of its grace;
That dims the LUIS Ter and sparkle
Of eyes that wd re once so bright
But now are heaJ ~ and troubled
With weary, dglondent light.
1t is not the work, but the aworry,
That drives all sleep awa3v
As we toss and turn and wonder
About the cares of the d;hy
Do we think of the hands II BARD labor
Or the steps of the tireIk feet?
All, no. But we plan anos ponder
How both ends can be sade to meet
1t is not the work, but thse worry
That makes US sober AMID sad
That makes us narrow AMID sordid
When we should be chAeery and glad,
There's a shadow before 1.-THE sunlight,
And even a cloud in tlke blue;
The scent of the rose is tainted.
The notes of the song a1se untrue
1t is not the work. but the worry.
That makes the world gtrow old
That numbers the years o # its children
Ere half the story is tq5ld;
That weakens their faith I in heaven
And the wisdom of Colds great plan.
All, It's not the work, 6but the worry,
That breaks the hearth of mani
