1.-The boy is father of the man"
in more ways than one The boy
who is willing to do faithful labor,
either at or away from home, for
little more than his board and
clothes, is fitting himself for a po-
sition of usefulness and better pay
in the future. 1t is the boy who
attends strictly to business and
makes his employers interests his
own, who will make his mark as a
business man. An industrious EN-
ergetic, painstaking boy or young
man never wants for a place, and
those with stability of character,
are all the recommendations need
ed. And these are so plain that
evry business man reads them and
mentally concludes: That boy will
succeed because he deserves sue
cess. "
