mulated for him.
 All of which may be fatherly.
 But very unwise.
 Because you take away his chance to make man. If he is to grow manliness ne must strive against odds. He cannot learn to swim without going into the water
 You want to save him from suffering But suffering perfects character.
 IT your boy is to know the worth of a oollar he must earn it. If he is to know the tnrill Of success he must win it.
 And mark this
 No man can get into touch with those who strive who himself does not strug- gie- Lacking struggle, he will lack sympathy. And without personal touch and sympathy with others your boy can never be man among men.
 You know that the world will give no man room who doesn't climb up to get it. Yet you keep your boy from climbing because, perforce, he must blister his hands on the rounds.
 Hard lines" for your boy?
 Even so. It is hard lines for you, for me, for all of us And we get self-re- nance and the fiber of strength by over coming. Your boy Is no exception to the hard rule.
 Please remember this:
 Your son is made of the same sort of putty of which you are made. You were molded into the shape of success while the putty was soft Let the boy be mold ed now. When the material hardens it Is too late to try to mold it.
 Give your boy his chance.
 Let him use himself, as nature intend- ed, to make himself.

A System Built on Lies.

The operations of the Chicago board of trade are conducted on a basis of pure fiction.
 1 The government maintains an expensive crop report. but there is slight connec- tion between these reports and the prices on change. The entire system of trading on the board is founded upon lies.
 Here is one more proof James A. Patten of Chicago, who has made millions by manipulating the mar ket, while operating recent wheat deal peddled all sorts of lies about the crop. He shouted calamity. He gave wide pub licity to false stories about the rust and blight in the wheat belt. Secretly he bought wheat. But his traders and pit leaders consistently lied about the crop damage. Then one day Patten threw a scare that caused wheat to jump up 5 cents a bushel.
 By lying Patten made million and a half.
 Of course, when this gambler gained somebody lost.
 For instance
 John c. Lund of Minneapolis was a. wealthy land dealer. He received reports about the crops from his local agents. They knew conditions and told Lund the truth. They denied the stories about the damage On the strength of these re- ports-the truth-Lund sold largely.
 On the day that Patten, with his lies, sent wheat up cents a bushel Lund blew out his brains five minutes before the market closed. He was a disgraced and ruined man. | Patten made his cleanup on lies. | Lund followed the truth and lost. | Nor is that all of the tale of ruin wrought by Patten in his campaign of de- ception
 | Because of the fctions invented by Pat l ten and his brokers the largest milling firm in the world went into bankruptcy, because 1t could not get wheat from the farmers at reasonable price. The farm CTS knew the truth about the crop, but | they followed Patten believing he would force the price up. They held their | wheat.
 The men who followed Patten-the farmers excepted-made big money.
 The men who followed the truth were | ruined.
 Null over those two preceding state ments and then ask yourself, "Is not that man deceived who thinks he can buy on

Give Your Boy His Chance.

Take care lest you handicap your son. There's a man inside of him-if you can get the man out of him.
 Now manhood is made-cruel,, but ef- fective processi-by putting flesh and spirit up against sharp corners and over fearful hurdles
 Naturally you feel as If you would like to shield your child from the hardships your boyhood knew. But that Is danger ous--to the boy. You are likely to eoddle and weaken him.
 Perhaps you let the chap sleep late of mornings and his mother keeps the break fast warm for him after the others have eaten. And he comes downstairs to find fault with his food and talks saucy Look outl You are pampering the boy. You are padding things in order to save him discomfort. He spends money he does not earn.

The Gold Brick ReoiIded.

He wanted to get rich quick.
 page advertisement of the Sure Thing Mining and Milling company, limited, of Allureville, New, came under his notice. The writer of the ad. was a word artist. He used gorgeous rhetoric to picture the tons of ore in sight, each ton essayed in steenth per cent of virgin gold, dividends they could not be less than 50 per cent simply waiting the placing of machin- cry for development
 The price of the stock was "only 10 cents per share!'
 Why, did not everybody know the his tory of Homestake and Anaconda and Calumet and Heola-now the shares, once sold for song?
 Moreover, said the promoters in their advertisement "If you are not satisfied, come to our office"
 "Our office' was luxuriously appointed.
 The man who wanted to get rich quick did not inquire of himself how these peo- pie could spend so much money in ad- vance. The doctored reports of the as- savers, the estimated output, cost of pro- duction. balloon dividends-all these he i swallowed as if they were gospel truths, literally gu1ped them.
 He did not know who. the "experts'' might be. He did not look up the per- sonnel of the directory board. He asked for no certified abstract of title. IOu see, rlcn men LOOK ClOSely Into their investments, however small. That is why they are rich. The man of small means, who can least afford it, shuts his eyes and takes the risk. In the category of the mine sharps. our man is a sucker" one of whom, tradi- ton says, is born every minute. He did not go to his banker for ad- vice. He sneaked into the bank and drew out his money, as if the banker were his s/enemy and might cheat him out of his great chance. He did not go to his lawyer.
 He did not ask his wife That glowing advertisement, so chary of facts and so rosy in promise. had al- lured him.
 And so his money was one of tho streamlets that made up the golden flood that poured into the head office of the swindling promoters.
 The man is a type.
 There are others.
 If it is not the Sure Thing Mining com pany, 1t Is the Amalgamated Mexican Rubber syndicate, or the town lots in Metropolisville, or the great invention, or the gold brick regilded.

know how many tele- la9Aj phone receivers are left off the hook every day, not only in residences but in business of- fees. Sometimes it is done through carelessness and often by accident.
 An extension desk set located on a table or desk is apt to be moved into such a position that the receiver rests on a book or is displaced in some equally simple manner. In homes, children and servants are most frequently re- sponsible for this trouble.

 It is built upon lies.
 It should be marked for destruction.
 To the Boss.
 You have young men in your employ
 Has it occurred to you that you owe these young men more than their sala- ries?
 Or-if you fight shy of moral matters have you considered that you might set such good example before these young fellows as to raise their standard of honor and conduct and you profit thereby?
 You are the pattern which those under you will initiate.
 Consciously or not those who work for you look up to you and follow you. You are their ideal You have succeeded in the business in which they hope to suc- ceed. What more natural than they should initiate you and your ways7
 Therefore you may be sure
 Your standards of life and business your habits and purposes, will become theirs.
 You may defend yourself by urging that your life is your private affair. You may say to your people, "Do as I say, 1 judge your creed by your actions. Rare is that young man who is able to profit by the errors of his boss and avoid them.
 You cannot conceal your real character.
 For example:
 If you are accustomed to use sharp practices in your deals, if you deceive your customers, your employees know 1t. Internationally they will adopt as their code Be honest with the firm, but cheat other people," If you will think a moment you will see where that sort of honesty leads. If you SOW dishonesty you will of dishonesty reap your losses.
 If you swear. habitually orr occasion ally expect to hear the echo of your oaths from the mouths of your under studies. And expect also to lose some thing of the respect of your people when you thus lose your boise and your temper. If you drink, even occasionally, you thereby invite drinking by your helpers. You may have strict rules forbidding the use of liuor. You will find that your habits count for more than your rules. If you gamble your men will know it. And If some day one of them embezzles your money to pay his gambling debts you will know the reason why. If you dissipate or speculate, look out The boys will dissipate and speculate. Now, this Is not a preachment It is straight speech-man fashion. Do not deceive yourself. Decency cleanliness of life, fine purposes, are still at premium in the business world and always will be.
 These things pay big dividends, not only in satisfaction, but in dollars and cents.

HUE TASK IS
|NTRUSTED BY POPE
Years to Be Consumed in Re-
vision of VuIgate.

Rome. Feb. 1S.-POpe Plus y. has
confided TO the followers OF st. Bone
dict the enormous task of revising the
official Latin Bible used by the Ro-
man Catholic church, popularity known
as the Vulgatc. The directing spirit
of the undertaking is Abbot Gasquet,
and the headquarters of the work will
be the college OF SAINT Anselmo on the
Aventine, where the Abbot presides
and not at the mother house Of the
Benedictines, on Monte Casino.
The Abbot is g. years of age. and
freely admits that in his life time he
can do little more than organize the
work and apportion it out to the var
ious Benedictine colleges all over the
world. Still he hopes before he dies
to see the revision of the Psalms or
the Pentatuch. which will be the first
work undertaken and completed.
