When our good ship speeds on her soar

And long held fear outbraves
Or gently rolls on the billowy light
OF atmospheric waves
We will sing song as we float along
OF dreams come true at last,
OF sea that's kissed by the cloud borne
mist
OF joyful antepast.
For we labored long ON the craft we
steer
Where plumelfke mist foam c1ings
And fashioned 1t well as we fought the
fear
That only hope had wings
And now we ride on the pneumotide
That swiftly ebbs and flows
And we steer our ship where fog waves
drip
And stormy petrol goes.
Tee invisible waves that wash our deck
Will fill the leaks they find.
From the dread of reef or OF sunhen
wreck
We're free as passing wind,
And we spread our san for the sea or
gale
]. For sea and gale are one.
And we ride abreast of the storm king
crest
And sail to seek the sun

you ARE RICH.
Are you in good health. and have you
family to support?
Then you are rich.
Health Is wealth. It is more than
capital, more than labor. 1t is both
combined. 1t is ability to do, oppor-
tunity to earn, chance to win. With
health the poorest man is rich; without
it the richest man is poor.
The chief trouble with most of us is
this: We do not realize our riches. We
do not know how to inventory the best
things of life In our invoice we put
down some things-as money, for in
stance-too high and others-as health,
for instance-at too low price.
We repeat, if you are healthy, strong,
you are we'll to do, and if in addition
you have family dependent upon
your efforts you are rich.
At the first thought you might be dis
posed to put your family down in your
invoice as an incumbrance, liability
instead of an asset Man alive, there's
where you make your mistake!
Did you ever see an oriental woman
carrying jug of water on her head?
What poise and gracefulness! The
burden she bears does that, and like
wise Your burden should only serve to
give you poise and strength.
But, besides
You need, all of us need, an incentive
something to live for-an inducement
The man without the family burden
may rejoice in his liberty for time.
but the day will come when the vanity
of such. liberty will appear. There will
be no. stern necessity upon him, no
heart compelling force. He will have
NO divine call to do and suffer. AS the
years shall multiply the emptiness of
life will appall him.
But you-you have given hostages to
fate. You have inducement Your
heartstrings are steady because they
are harnessed to your loved ones! You
have something to live for, work for.
die for. Look into the answering face
of your wife, your child. Is it not so?
You are rich
Sometimes the way may be dark and
rock strewn upward. If there is JOY.
there are also fear and anxiety. There
must be rooftree for wife and babies
and food and raiment and something
over for gentle living. And the cost of
bare necessities is large And some
people seem to get on better than you.
But-do they get the best out of life?
That's the touchstone.
Can't you see? You are rich.

YOUR sON-DO you KNOW HIM 7
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

YOUR SON-DO YOU KNOW HIM?
"Oh, my boy is all right. He may be
little wild, but am sure he would
not do anything very bad"
That was the way a fond mother
spoke of her son when a friend limited
concerning the young mans habits.
The SON is Of age, kind hearted,
bright young fellow, and is the idol of
his mother.
What are the facts about the boy
In a word, he is doing about everything
a boy ought not to do. He does more
. than take an occasional drink" He
CANDLES regularly. He attends to bust
ness all right In business hours. Out OF
business hours be devotes himself to
various vices.
The fact is this young man is rapidly
going to the dogs.
And there Is pathos in the thought
that his mother believes he is good
sort Of boy, only "a little wild" She
will never know her son as he is until
some crisis comes. Some day he is
likely to disgrace his family and cruelty
shock a doting mother.
Why is the son going wrong?
He comes of good family. He has
been well educated. His mother has
taught him from his youth up the prin-
ciples of right living. Having fortified
him in this way, his parents do not
dream that the son is leading disso-
lutte and unclean life.
Father and mother do not know their
son. They do not know his real
thoughts, habits. inclinations, associa-
tions They think they do, but they
don't ..., ..
1t may be this boy got away from
home influences when he was a lad.
Many boys do get away early. Moth
ers sometimes are unable to keep a
string around them. Mothers some
times think they are keeping tab on the
little fellows when they are not doing
so. They are deceived.
1t matters not when the young man
here mentioned happened to be cor
rupted. This is sure-his case is q typ
ical one There are thousands of young
men deceiying their parents just as
this one is doing Being of the stature
and age of men. they are free to come
and go at will. 1t is difficult to know
their manner of life. And you would
have difficulty In convincing the par
ents that their boys are not all right
Do you know your big boy?
You may think that, having got him
safely ND to manhood, you can let him
- whereas yen ought to know that
manhood presents many special and
peculiar temptations.
Do You know your SON?
Are you sure?
