What Makes a Boy Popular.

What makes a boy popular?
Surely it is manliness. During
the war, how many schools and
colleges followed popular boys?
These young leaders were the
manly boys whose hearts could
be trusted. The boy who re-
spects his mother has leader
ship in him. The boy who is
careful of his sister is knight.
The boy who win never violate
his word and who will pledge
his honor to his own hurt, and
change not, will have the conf
dence of his fellows. The boy
who will never hurt feelings of
any one will one day find him
self possessing all sympathy.
If you want to be u popular
boy, be too manly and generous
and unselfish to seek to be popu-
lar; be the soul of honor; love
others better than yourself, and
people will give you their hearts
and try to make you happy
That is what makes boy popu
lar.-Apples Of Gold.

MAKING A HOME.

1t seems a pity that the young
woman who lis about to establish
a home and has the money to
spend for its garnishing can not
be persuaded from laying it out
all at once. She robs herself of
SO much future enjoyment. The
spick and span sets of furniture
which are carelessly ordered
from an upholsterer, and carried
home and stood around her par
lors by his men, will never afford
her half the satisfaction she can
get in room in which today, she
buys a chair, and next week,
seeing there must be a table to
accompany the chair, she starts
on a fresh shopping excursion,
and finds a table which is exactly
what she is looking for; and in
another month, discovering the
need of q bookcase or screen, she
has again the delight of the hunt,
and the qualification of obtain
ing the prettiest screen and
bookcase in the city.
Such a room is growth, a
gathering together, of household
treasures little by little, and
piece by piece. Each article,
bought only when the need
arises or when something is
happily found to just meet the
need, will have family history
which makes it an entertaining
as well as a valuable possession.
Each couch and footstool is an
achievement; each rug and cur
tain represents a triumph. Such
a home built up gradually, with
careful planning in each part,
with thought and loving consid-
GRAFTON in all its details, acquires
a meaning far deeper than could
be purchased by the longest
purse from the most fashionable
cabinet maker.

WhHksy and Marriage.

a. -
No yt man has moral
right to 80 counting with a bot
tie of whiskey concealed upon
his person. If he cannot give up
whiskey he should give up love.
The gi1 who pernits herself to
be sweet heartened by a young
ruffian whose breath smells like
frosted sugar cane and whose
attentions are divided between
herself and quart bottle, has
no reason to expect a fair divis-
ion of his time after marriage.
The bottle will get nearly all of
her husbands consideration and
she will get his criticisms and
complaints. Furthermore she
will be lucky if she doesn't have
to take ID sowing in order to pay
his finer

Feminine Philosophy.

It's wise woman who knows
that every new fashion is not be-
coming to her.
Those women who regard mar
riage as a necessary evil are the
ones who make it so.
Speaking of styles, ETC., Won
der how long it will be before
divorces go out of style?
1t takes a brave man to marry
for money, but drawer one to
marry without it.
The professional dress maker
is about the only woman in the
world who is good at figures.
Don't be too hard on the girl
who is always putting on airs
maybe she hasn't much else to
put on.
Some people are buying their
tickets to glory on the INSTALL
ment plan at the rate of a nickel
a week.
Perfect confidence between
husband and wife is exhibited
when neither wants to read the
others letters.

When a Man Is About to Die.

1t is now the fashion to rot
tell a man when he is going to
die. That is question that be-
longs to the physician and it
may be that at times he is right
about it. But | am sure there
are times when that method is
wrong.
A few months ago in an East
ern city good man was dying.
The physicians spoke of a hypo-
dermic to relieve the pain of the
last hours and let the patient
depart peacefully and without
knowing his condition. The sick
mans brother favored this plan ;
his business partner and fellow
member of the church said !;
mo, he is a brave man: tell
him the TRUTH The wife, in
tears, could not decide. They
sent for the minister and sub
mitted the case to him. 'Tell
him the truth
They told him, and he said:
Gentlemen, am not afraid to
die and have not been afraid of
death for years; | don't think
it would have been quite fair not
to have let me know. Thank
you for telling me. About how
long will it be2p They told him
an hour or possibly two hours.
The first half hour he spent
alone with his wife. After that
he called in his friends who
were there, and few others
whom he asked to have called
by telephone. They sang a
hymn; the minister offered pray
err; he said his dying words,

panies making either sterling or
plated fiatware have announced
advances since the beginning of
the month. Hollow ware, which
includes pitchers, bowls, and
vessels Of various kinds, remains
at the old prices. Manufacturers
say the reason for the raise is
that they now pay 5 cents more

they did a year ago, when the

WANDERING BOY.
A column dedicated to tired mothers
as they ioin the home circle at evening tide

ooh where is my wandering
boy tonight" has been sung
thousands Of times with wonder
full tenderness and pathos, but
how many of the singers, or
hearers, ever gave heed to the
pertinent inquiry of the song?
Statistics are frequently publish
ed showing the great majority of
our boys spending their nights
away from the better influences
of home. As they grow into
youth and early manhood they
seem to grow into the world and
worldly ways. If the singers
plaintive question could be an
swered publicly in any ordinary
meeting where the song is sung,
it would cause a tremendous SEN
sation, and many a heart would
bow down in sorrow and pain.
For some reason it is just as well
that the nightly haunts of "the
boys' are not specifically men
toned in local public meetings,
and yet the matter is one of COM
mon report. The boys are too
often out of home, ont of the
church and Sunday school, out of
organizations of moral character,
and into the world "for all it is
worth"

Your wise mother is not given
to worrying over trifles. She
dose not expect perfection in a
day. And she has put from her,
as for as the east is from the
west, the gastly possibility of
setting vanity up in the room of
love. So she does not begin
with exhaustive attention to
the multitude of etiquette,
knowing that way lies the dan
ger of making her boys prigs and
her girls self-conscious society
misses before they are in their
teens. She lays down as the
laws Of her household the broad
principles of respect for elders,
reverence for women, kindness
for all; and she permeates the
home atmosphere with the finest
conceptions of the Difference and
sympathy due from soul to soul.
Her children very early de-
light to place chair for grand
mother and to save father steps:
They learn to be proud Of that
| restraint which enables them to
keep self in the background, and
to defer to brother and sister. 1t
never enters their heads that
servants are less worthy of re-
spect than other people. They
are unabashed in the presence Of
wealth and power as they are tc
tender toward suffering and pow
erty. When she teaches them from
time to time her code of man
ners-and she is careful to Fer
feet it according to her best
judgement-she teaches it fol-
home use, and it becomes fixet
by becoming natural.

HOUSE COMMITTEE AGREES ON
TERMS
Measure Establishes the Principle That
Water May be Taken From the Great
Lakes for Sanitary or Navigation

ty taken on the Canadian side. The

grant revocable permits for the taking
of additional quantities on the Ameri-
can side until the aggregate shall gen.
crate $4,000 horse power. 1t is also
provided that the quantity or power
may be imported from the Canadian
side.
The bill is to be in effect for three
years. Meantime the president rs ask
ed to open negotiations with Great
Britain looking to the perfection of a
treaty to preserve the scenic beauty of
the falls. A fine of from $500 TO s2,500

sions of the measure and an imprison-
ment penalty is also Incorporated. An

from James M. Rhett of the Crescent
Athletic club, Brooklyn, and he and
Byers will meet in the final round of
36 holes match play tomorrow.
Both Byers and Travis played ster-
ling golf to-day, but the mistake which
Travis made was an attempt to cross
the brook for the eleventh hole on his
second shot, which landed him in a
bunker and lost him chanace to win
or halve the hole. Byers outplayed his
opponent on the home green, three to
four. winning the match by 2 up and

In the third round, which was play
ed earlier in the day, Travis made the
course in 72, after George 7. Brokaw,
a fellow golfer from Garden City, had
laid him two stymies, which prevented
Travis from making a new record for
the links, but he beat Brokaw by A up

round won from Oswald Kirl5by of En-
glewood, N. j., by up and to play,
also, but his card showed a Is.
