Tho Price of a Boy.

(John Graham Brooks estimates that 1t costs about S25,OOO to properly educate c ',middle-class" American boy.) What is the cost of good, strong boy, A boy we are proud to see, A youthful prize of Lincoln size Or little Napoleon B., For a Henry Clay or a Franklin, say, Or Burns or an Andrew Lang? And what must we bid for Chinese kid With a mind like Ii Hung Chang? What. twenty-five thousand to raise the
 lad?
 We'll, that is blow, for sure! If what you name is the price of fame Our son must remain obscure. Time was when lads, ere they fed on fads, Grew up till we called 'em great And marched corn-fed to a nations head For a tenth of the sum you state. rather thought that a boy home-taught Or schooled In a modest way, If born with brains and for taking pains, Might rise in the world some day; And 1 dreamed, in truth, that college
 youth
 With nothing-a-week or less Might still pull through Gas I've seen
 them dol
 And race for the goal of success. Though boys there are who are worth
 the price,
 I think it would wrench my craw To pay so dear for Harry Lehr And more for a Harry Thaw; If you raise boys cheap that are worth . heap,
 Do you wonder the gods feel hurt When they educate at princely rate The boys that are as cheap as dirtf Then what is the use of a boy, say I, Brought up at the price of Brooksi Can YOU give him mind of a better kind In your costly ecole de lu1ef And if not, say I, can raise my son On & rational, frugal plan Where he'll get the best and can stand
 the test

The street commissioner had a

If the road grader could be put to

was before the street commissioner
got busy, pedestrians would be able
to cross 1t without getting mired in
the mud on rainy days.
