For the next fifteen minutes Marga-

her side, and Mary. practicing forlorn-

them and enyied the ease with which
Margaret talked and laughed and
pirouetted in a shine of black satin
and of copper colored hair.
When the music started, the Awk-

How are you getting along?" he
asked, with II smile that lighted his
face and made 1t very attractive.

week, to the Awkward Young Man.

and his education was 50 defective that
he could not write five consecutive sen

The Ambitious Boy.

A boy at seventeen can practically

be a simple burden bearer for others
as long as he lives, a lcech on society
or whether he will be Il ~broadminded,

boy at this age has no ambition TO te
anybody and is content to simply let
things flicker and take his chance with
others just like him. frittering away
his opportunities 10 acquire knowledge
and caring only for the trivialities of
life. he can make mp his mind TO carry
a hod, ride the brake beam Of a freight
car or dodge the police as long as he
lives, or he can resolve TO be a man
in the highest sense. seek every means
for physical. mental and moral growth
and development and must graduate
into the ever widening field Of utility
and success. 1t matters little what
his boyhood environment may be, if he
but has the ambition and well ground

The sacrifices made by many poor
but honest and worthy parents to give
their children better education and
better opportunities than their parents
ever mad, are often very poorly re-
warded, when the boys and girls get
back home. Then it is that some of
these youngsters begin to put on airs,
and to discover how illiterate and old
fashioned father and mother are, and
how cheap and shabby is the old home
and it's furnishings. They do not stop
to think that but for the money spent
on them and for their education, the
old home might be in better shape,
nor do they consider how little they
have ever done to make it even as
good as it is. Some of these boys and
girls would be better off, perhaps, if
they had to go out and earn their own
living and knock around for their own
education, for then they would not so
suddenly discover how very superior
they are. Happily they are not all of
that kind, for many young man and
woman realizes what sacrifices have
been made for them aud set about
making most generous returns there
for, at the first opportunity. Such are
indeed most worthy, for they fulfill
the injunction "Honor thy farther
and mother" Montevideo Leader.

A ssgloater'' is one who gioats when
a man meets with misfortune; gioats
and feels good and goes all over town
to tell the misfortune. One who, when
a bit of scandal comes to his ear, rolls
it around his tongue like a sweet NOR
sci. One without brains enough to tell
whether his bread has butter on it or
not. One who makes it his chief bust
ness to go up and down the street ana
tell of the business reverses of q more
active and brainy man and gloat over
it. In short, person who takes no
pleasure in anything but gloating even
over the distress of those who have
befriended him.-Jolts.
