Children who attend school and who have
home lessons to study when school hours

pupils In the advanced grades, is most in

serious disorders of the eyes, brain and

After leaving school in the afternoon the
children should be encouraged to play for
an hour at least after which there should
be ample time for all necessary study be-

to educate him where he will be brought

Whatever other mistakes you may make,
forbear impressing on him that he is a fool.
This Is the surest way of making him one.
Children with splendid intellectual endow-

Duties Of Gentleman.
1t would seem to be the first~duty of every
man to have good manners-not the super
fetal veneer which merely is the outside
polish, but the good manners that spring
from a good heart and sincere. manly
nature Emerson says that "a gentleman Is
a man of truth" and this definition means
honesty and sincerity in conduct. He must
have character and force. good nature and
kindness, manhood first and then gentle
ness"
A well-b bred man is free from arrogance
he is courteous. unpretentious. natural. SIM
pie, unaTected-in a word. true. He Is con
siderate In his feelings, polite and kind to
! every one He respects himself. He Is
chivalrous toward women and reverences
| their sex because he bears in mind his love
and respect for his own mother. He protects
| the weak and is tender toward children and
| aged persons. He Is never self-assertive
| pushing. aggressive or familiar. for to pos
| sess any of these qualities would indicate a
| distressing lack Of good breeding.
An old verse gives quaint directions that
| a man should follow in modern times:
| ''When thou come the hall door to,
Doc thy hood, thy gloves Also
A nan removes his hat when he enters a

ADDRESSES MERCHANTS
c. c. Lawson Of Sedaia Gives Lexington
Merchants some Valuable Points.

The retail merchants association
was given new impetus Tuesday
night by the address of c. G. Lawson.
chas. Lyons, attorney for the Lexing-
ton association, made brief and APP
propriate speech, introducing the
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Lawson
is the attorney and secretary of the
Sedalia retail merchants association.
Being one of the charter members of
of the association and its attorney
and secretary from the beginning,
guiding it through the formative peri
cd, Mr.. Lawson is a very valuable
factor in organizing the retail mer-
chants of the state.
His address Tuesday night was filed
with good suggestions for the local
association to study. Some perhaps
would not be adaptable to Lexington
but on the whole the talk was in
structive and full of common sense.
Mr.. Lawson was followed by Mr.,
Moorehead who gave his usual good
talk.
Several new members were enrolled
Hereafter the local association viii
