The Boy. We AL Like.

The boy who never makes fun of old
age, no matter how decrepit or unfor.
tunate or evil 1t may be.
The boy who never cheats or is I'M
fair in his play. Cheating is contempti-
BILE anywhere, and at any age His play
should strengthen, not weaken, his
character.
The boy who never calls anybody
bad names, no matter what anybody
calls him. He cannot throw mud and
keep his own hands clean.
The boy who is never cruel. He has
no right to hurt even fly .needlessly.
Cruelty is the trait of bully; kindli-
ness is the mark of gentleman.
The boy who never lies. Even white
lies leave black spots on the character.
The boy who never makes fun of a
because of a misfortune he
could not help.
The boy who never hesitates to say

The boy who never quarrels. When
your tongue gets unruly, lock it In.
The boy who never forgets that God
made him to be a joyous, loving, low
Ible, helpful being.

Saved Fnvorite Cap from Connsca
ton by n QualSer Teacbar

| Saved Fnyorite Cap from ConnscaA
ton by Quaker Teacher.
How Speaker Joseph G. Cannon once
outwitted his schoolmaster and saved
favorite cap from confscation is a
story of his younger days told by a
former schoolmate, now a professor In
a Western Quaker college. 1t was at a
time when Mr.. Cannon's parents lived
In Quaker settlement in western In
diana, where the district school was
governed by man thoroughly Imbued
with the Ideas of severe simplicity at
that time In favor among the Friends.
Contrary to all presidents and In
violation of accepted tenets in matters
OF dress, young Mr.. Cannon appeared
at school one day wearing a cap which,
like the famous coat of the first Jo-
seph, was of many colors. 1t was so
different from those of the other boys
that the masters attention was at once
attracted and he promptly confscated
the offending cap, quietly removing it
from its peg.
When school was dismissed, being
unable to find his cap and divinIngt the
cause for its disappearance, young Can
non, with equal lack of ceremony, re-
moved from its accustomed place the
high hat of the teacher, which, al
though too large, he placed on the back
or his head and few moments later
when the teacher glanced through the
window he discovered his precious
1eadpiece bobblng away among the
-rees on the head Of his errant pupil.
No words ever passed between them

morning both the hat and cap were re-

The Echo.

The old story of the echo, which we
all heard in our childhood, needs often
to be revived for the truth which it
teaches.
A boy In the woods thought he heard
the voice of another boy not far off.
He shouted, ''Halloa, there!" and the
voice shouted back, "Halloa, there'
"Who are you?" he again cried, and
the voice replied, "Who are your
you are mean boy;" and again the
cry came back, you are mean boy"
He went home and told his mother that
there was a bad boy In the woods.
His mother understood how 1t was and
said to him: 20, no; speak kindly to
him, and sees If he does not speak
kindly to you" The boy went to the
woods again and shouted, you are a
good boy" OF course the reply came,
you are a good boy" II love you"
II love you" said the other voice.
The story of the echo is story Of
life. What we see that is disagreeable
and evil in our neighbors is generally
he reflection Of what we are in o1ft
selves.

STORY OF MISSOURI RIVER.
Stream Has Personality, Habits and
Caprfces All It's Own

stream hhs personality, Habits and
Caprices All It's own.
There are rivers of all lengths and
sizes and all degrees Of wetness. There
are rivers with all sorts of peculIarities
and with widely varying claims to
fame But there is only one river with
a personality, habits, designations, a
sense OF humor and woman's caprice !:
a river that goes travelling sidewise,
that interferes in politics, rearranges
| geography and dabbles In real estate
a river that plays hide and seek with
you to-day and tomorrow follows you
around like pet dog with a dynamite
cracker tied to its tail. That river is
the Missouri.
This thing happened in Kansas CITY
not many years ago: A party of men
owned a strip of land along the Mis-
souri, River bank. 1t was not handsome
land, but it was valuable for factory
purposes. They were offered portly |
prices for 1t, but held on.
One day they noticed that the strip
was getting emaciated They held a
hurried diagnosis with surveyors
tape and found that half of it had been
washed away. The next year half of
the remainder had gone.
The men wanted to sell then. but the
market seemed remarkably sluggish.
The next year the river ate so vigor-
ously that only a tiny strip about as
wide as piece of baby ribbon was
left. The men were much depressed.
Suddenly the land began to increase ,

Railroad Company In the blasting line

touched or Monday, but owing to the
critical Illness OF woman residing In
the Immediate vicinity the work was
postponed until Saturday. The bowl.

tons was about seventy feet above the
track and owing to the continual wash
OF the earth beneath had become dan
