Some Evening Reveries.

How much better to use some OF
the good things of life as we 60 along;
to make our humble homes as CHEEKY

starve today, either body, mind or
soul, thinking that poverty will knock
at your door tomorrow. Don't hoard
and scrimp through all the best years
of your life that you may be generous
in YOUR will. Life is uncertain, and
it is better TO make your children
happy while they are under the home
roof; to call to that home every agen-
cv that will make their lives sweeter
and better, than to deny them these

The young man who is always
found around the street corners and
who spends his evenings in drinking
and playing cards will never amount
to much. 1t is contrary to the natu-
raj order of things. The boys who
spend their precious youth in this
manner are the ones who will take
the place of our day laborers; they
will live in poor houses, wear poor
clothes and when they come to die
they will be followed to their graves
by few friends. Oh, that the young
men of our land might awaken to a
knowledge of their situation! There
is an opportunity for every young
man to become an honored citizen.
and so many, oh, SO many precious
boys are allowing themselves to be
carried along, apparently caring but
little about their future. We do ad
mire a manly boy, one who tries tc
become a man, and we always fee
like helping him along. The boy
who steps out from among evil assocl
ates, gives tobacco the go-by, has th'
true grit and deserves to be helped
Tt takes considerable to turn one'
back upon those with whom he ha
; been associating, and we admire tn
pluck of one who does so. Our coun

to become a grand and good man on
must be grand and good boy. 1t i
a wrong idea that every boy mus
"sow his wild oats" When you SOY
a crop of wild oats, you must TAX
time to harvest a crop, and the crol
is never anything but chaff. "Wil'
oats" need never be sown. The tim
, spent in sowing wild oats is wors
than lost, for the time could be spen
in sowing a crop that would yield
golden harvest. Be careful abou
, the kind of seed you SOW, for "whatso
ever a man soweth, that shall he ais

Just how the ancient Romans went
to the theater and what kind OF shows
were billed in the days of Augustus
and Nero was explained by Prof. Wal
ton b. Mcdaniel in free public lee
ture at the University Museum OF Sci
ence and Art yesterday afternoon.
The audience heard with some sur
prise that the political lights of Rome,
the senators, got the choice seats. the
aristocrats sat next, then came the
husbands and wives and last of all
way up In the peanut gallery, sat
the women who came without escorts.
The lecturer also told that married
men got better seats than single men
and that bows were seated under the
view of their pedagogues.
In describing the big theater built by
Pompey the Great he startled his hear
ers by declaring that in the fine art OF
handling the masses Dick" Croker
was child compared to the late
Pompey. The lecture was illustrated
