Queer Athens Began.

Modern Athens has recently lost
a twentieth century Diogenes He
was beggar named Sacoules and
displayed good deal of the spirit
of the ancient cynic.
He could not exactly place his tub
on the streets, but he found out a
sort of grotto in the side of the
acropolis, the identical one which the
ancients tabled to be haunted by
the Furies, and here he lived for
years He was beggar who had
his price, and he fixed it at one penny.

MODERN VALET A WONDER.
Must Be Able to Turn His Hand to
Almost Anything.

"a good valet must understand mas
sage, hair cutting and shaving, mend
ing, darning, plain cooking and plain
washing and ironing"
The speaker, young millionaire,
smiled thoughtfully.
1T is not eXtravagant," he said, "for
a bachelor to employ valet. The
valet takes so many places-the bar
bers place, the laundress' place, the
shoeblack's place, the cooks place,
the masseur's place, the tailor's
place.
My valet darns my socks well.
Every morning he gives me vel
vet shave, and once week he cuts
my hair trinity. You should taste
his souffles and his salads.
when l am travelling and there is
no time to send my linen to laun-
dry, he will do up shirt and half
dozen collars-we always carry an
iron with us-in an exquisite way
Furthermore, he is ambitious and is
learning stenography, in order that
he may typewrite from my dictation
all my correspondence.
Cooking, mending, ironing, hair
cutting and massaging, the modern
valet earns his pay. 1t is impossible,
without him, to dress exquisitely."

CONFIDENCE IN rHE AoME.
Relations That Should Exist Between
Parent and Child.


There can be no true understanding
between parent and child without per-
feet confidence. Confidence is the
basis Of all beneficial human rela
toms. Those whom we suspect we
do not admit to the inner courts of
our trust. If the child suspects that
you are hiding something or are ask
ing for more than you are willing to
do, complete confidence cannot exist
in the home
The best proof of complete conf
dence between parent and child is
furnished when the child tells the
parent its troubles and asks for ad-
vice on matters which most children
dread to mention to father and moth
er Then is the great opportunity
to bind the childs. heart to yours
with hooks of steel AS the child
approaches the years OF early youth,
certain matters of health, morals and
conduct must be explained. The
parent must do 1t or some one else
viii The "some one else" may do it
in such way that the child's moral
nature will be dwarfed and endan-
gered That period is the crucial pc
riod of the childs life. A kind word
then, in season, will do more to make
the child your own for life than any
thing else you can do. But the way
must be prepared by long years Of
perfect trust and soul communion be-
tween parent and child. The informa
ton must be given calmly, sympathet-
ically and clearly. - Binghamton Press.

OPPORTUNITIES NEAR HOME.
Progressive Towns Offer Excelen.
Advantages for Young Men.

Students in sociology have recent
ly expressed pessimistic views as to
chances for the success of young men
of country districts. There has been
no denying of the fact that the farm
affords splendid opportunity for
those inclined towards pastoral life,
but it Is maintained that of recent
years conditions preclude any great
chances for the average young man
to succeed in the average business
vocation, That is that the channels
for his development are being made
more narrow year after year through
the formation of corporations and
trusts for the control of various in
dustries In other words, the cen
tralization of business is considered
detrimental to the pursuing of bust
ness in mercantile lines on small
scale.
This subject is open to wide discus
sion. Cities and towns of the United
States are idly building up. The
ing wonde ..y. With this increase
in population new opportunities pre-
sent themselves for the exercise OF
intelligent endeavor. The towns, par
ticularly of the west, are embryo cit
les, and the little village of to-day
will be the large city a quarter cen
fury hence Almost every town af
fords the progressive young man
chance for business success. Oppor-
tunities are plentiful for those who
have the foresight to discover them.
Towns are built up where are certain
natural advantages and their growth
is dependent upon the territory that
they can draw support from, or upon
some particular advantage that they
may possess favorable to manufacture
ing along certain lines. The oppor-
tunities for young men are to some
extent guaged by the life and prog
ress of the towns Heads of families
look forward to the time when their
sons may enter into business or pro-
fessional life Ties of kinship are
strong and few parents care to have
grown sons and daughters far away
from them. In this is discovered a
reason why residents OF rural dis
trict should take more than ordinary
interest in the home town. The more
important the local town the greater
are the opportunities for the young
men of the neighborhood engaging in
business in it. In thousands of cities
and towns of the United States the
leading business men to-day are the
boys who were farmers SONS a quar-
ter or half century ago. In modest |
ways they started in bushes in the
home town, and with the progress Of
the town developed as business men.
The opportunities that were opened
to those youths are still open to the
youths of to-day, but remember that
many of these men would not have
been the great business men they are
to-day only for the fact the towns
where they located were progressive,
places which gave the opportunity to
succeed
