"For Idle Hands to Do"

The loafing habit is menace to
the boys Of both country and city.
Every wise mother must be on her
guard against 1t for her sons. The
grocery store furnishes only too easy
q lure for village boys, and hundreds
of idlers frequent the public squares
of the great cities. There is no &C.
counting for the seeming leisure OF
the army of grown-up loafers. Most
Of them are able-bodled, although
some are anemic or badly nourished.
But the sad truth probably is that
doting mother began the useless ca
reer of each Of them, and that hard
working wife continues the In
diligence. 1t is not easy for moth
er to invent occupations for her lit
tie son. The daughter may early be
taught to use the broom, buster and
needle. Then the doll is an unfail.

always needs new clothes. But work
for boyish hands and feet is less

occupation of the usual boyish sort
can be contrived, the boy may better
