ROOSEVELT ON BOYS.

G ONE time ago, President Roosevelt said something
about boys in school and out, that is worth paying
heed to- School days at hand, the advice is
sound and straight from the shoulder that boysand
girls too, for that matter-shoud read and remember
every syllable. This is what the president said:
Ono boy afford to neglect his work, and with
boy, work rule, study. I advocate of
senseess and excessive examining in studies but boy
should work. and very hard At his lessons in the first
place. for the sake of what he will learn and in the next
place for the sake Of the effect upon his character
of settling down learn Shftlessness, Sickness in
difference to studying almost certain to nabil
ity to get in other walks of life.
*'The boy can become good man by becoming
good boy-not goody goody boy but just plain good
boy Good in the largest should include what
is fine, straightforward clean, brave and manly.
The best boys know good at their studies their
business fearless stawa hated and feared by all that
is wicked and depraved, incapable of being augh but
tender to the weak and helpless healthymnded boy
should feel hearty indignation for the coward, and
hearty indignation for the boy who DULLES

This fort was garrisoned by
French troops from Montreal,
and the tricolor of La Belle
France foated from the flag
staff. @~'... -.
A tall granite shaft has
been erected on the site Of the
old fort by the Daughters of
the American Revolution. The
inscription on the monument
reads: "This monument
marks the site of Fort La
Presentation, formerly Fort
Picquet), erected in 1749 by
Able Francois Picquet, for
the protection of his mission
among the Indians of the Five
Nations. This fort was oc-
cupied in 1850 by the British,
and evacuated by them June
l, 1896, under the provisions
Of the Jay treaty. It was the
first building erected where
now stands the city of Ogdens-
burg.'' Father Picquet was
shrewd man, and has the rep
utation of having done as
much to further the military
plans of France as to Chris
tianize the Indians, and it is
related of him that he fitted
out many war parties of In
dams to prey upon the Eng

fort was changed to La Pres
