The Kind of Boys Needed.


What kind of boy does business man want :"
repeated practical man of many concerns the
ether day
Well will tell you. In the first place, he
wants boy who doesn't know too much: business
men generally like to run their own business, and
prefer ole who will listen to their way rather than
try to teach them new kinds; secondly. they want
a prompt boy-one who understands o'clock as
exactly :, not ten minutes past third, an indus
trious boy who is not afraid put in little extra
work in case of need: fourth. an honest boy-hon-
est in his services as well in dollars and cents;
fifth, good-natlred boy who will keep his temper
ever if his employer loses his own now and then"
But you haven't said a word about his being
smart z" was suggested
"WeIl, to tell the truth" was the rather hesitat-
ing answer, that's about the last thing worry
over. The fact is if boy is modest, pleasant,
prompt industrious and honest he's quite as smart
as We care about-and that's fact"

What BOYS Should Know.

4 philosopher has said that true education OF
boys is to teach them what they ought to know
when they become men,
tirst-To be and to be genuine. No edu-
cation is worth anything that does not include this
man would be better not to know how TO read
and be true and genuine in action rather than be
learned in all sciences and in all languages and be
at the same time false in heart and counterfeit IN
life
Second-To be pure in thought, language and
hfe-pure in mind and body.
Third-To be mselish; to for the feel
ings and comforts Of others; to be generous, noble
and manly. This will include genuine reverence
for the aged and for things sacred.
Fourth-To be self-reant and self-helpfUl even
from childhood: to be Industrious always and self
supporting at the earliest possible age, Teach them
that all honest work is honorable; that an idle life
of dependence or Others is diseraceful.
When boy has learned these things. when he
has made these ideas part of him, however poor or
however rich. he has learned the most important
things he ought to know.-Catholic Sentinel.

Time went slowly to the puzzled boys. for all
their run that day. 1t seemed as if that attersup-
per time would never come but It came at last, and
Uncle John came too, with shiny skatc-runncr
pccping out of his coat pocket.
Uncle John did not delay; he sat down ami
looked straight into Harry's eyes.
Been a good boy today, Hal!
"Yes-n-o." said Harry, flushing Il did some
thing Aunt Mary told me not to do, because Ned
Barnes dared me to. ! can't bear boy to dare nc.

THE COWPEA

Selling at rs cents aJBushel
A Few Years Ago, Price
Has Climbed to So.

The present season has witnessed
the rise of the ordinary cowpea of
commerce TO a comparatively proud
place in the economy of domestic
feedStuffs.
From selling at IS cents a bushel,
at which price they were quoted not
many seasons ago. cOwpeaS have
steadily advanced to $3.50 and finally
to So a bushel at which figure they
are now able to be disposed of by
their fortunate pOsSeSsOr with alac-
rity. When the feed man who can,
in retrospect, recall the very short
time ago when they were sold at a
low figure, realizes that 500 bushels
reDresents a carload, and that al the
present prices the car represents ST.
500. he undoubtedly regrets his lack
of intimate knowledge concerning
cowpeas among the men who make
business of selling them. From a
man the information was
volunteered that practically all cow

Will Be Assured by
New Railroads.

Mr.. Frank P. Damon, who is visit
ing Pensacola in the interest of the
railroad commission of Florida, says
that Pensacola is going to be a great
city, and that he thinks the time will
not be very far off.
Mr.. Damon is inspecting engineer

twenty-seven years experience in
building railroads in different parts
of the country, and has seen the eff

ing of good railroads out of here. If
this is brought about, he says, there
is no doubt of Pensacola's future.
