for more expensive rails for the same
money that they have, heretofore, paid
for less costly ones. Some hesitation
has been caused by the tariff agitation,
but the manufacturers can and will
overcome this by simply guaranteeing
purchasers against the lowest price, so

All the leading railroads IN the coun-

TO THE BOYS OF FORTY.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye

A Greek philosopher has pictured
man as being born in a well built
| house and living therein during child.
hsod. AS he grows he pulls down the
walls. stone by stone until he stands
finally in the undimmed sunlight
Is it not so?
How many stones have we had to
pull down that we might see over?
Some of us still have stones in the
way. And some of us-the wise old
boys-have put all the stones they have
pulled down into a great pile and got
on top of them for wider view.
For twenty years at least we have
been trying to widen the horizon. to
get a comprehensive view of life.
But
The peril of the larger vision is this:
AS we see further and know more
disillusion comes to rob us of our
youthful enthusiasms. Shall we, hav-
ing mans head, still keep beneath it
the heart of a boy? Will disappoint-
ments destroy faith? VIII the larger
knowledge lower ideals?
1t must not be!
At twenty the stones are in the way.
The outlook is small. The young man
cannot see far. know much or feel
deeply. The near, the noisy and the
sensuous attract him. His ideal of a
picture is the stirring battle scene. His
ideal of music is the noisy band. He
is caught by movement and hilarity.
Having learned the better way at
forty, we must still keep our hearts
young. Therefore we find our ideal
music in the laughter of child. The
pictures we admire are those of peace
full landscapes. The glitter and the
tinsel no longer catch our fancy. A
book by the fire, dear face across the
table-these are the things that appeal
to the chastened enthusiasm of forty.
You see, at twoscore years a man
puts the proper value on the real
things of life. He has learned to dis
criminate. The world has dawned on
him. He has pulled down the stones.
Boys of forty and over:
We have not lost our boyish visions.
No, street As the master painted
'Amplio" (widerl on the picture of his
pupil. so we have pulled down the
stones to get farther look
Let us therefore stand in the I'M
dimmed sunlight and keep sweet!

KEEP CLEAN INSIDE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye

Young man:
Deliberately insult the man who
starts to tell a smutty story in your
presence by turning on your heel.
Such a corruptionist has no more
right to steal your pure thoughts than
he has to put his hand into your pocket
and take your money.
These retailers of filth are whited
sepulchers-clean on the outside but
lnwardly filed with dead mems bones.
They are debauchers of clean minds,
robbers of purity.
You should never permit yourself TO
listen to an improper story-a story
you would not care to repeat TO your
mother or your sister. The filthy sug-
gestiveness will soak into your mem
DRY as spilled ink soaks into blotting
paper.
Allow no man to drag your mind
through a sewer.
Do you know there is many a man
who would sacrifice much today TO be
able TO wipe from his memory some OF
the things he listened TO when a boy?
The man who will deliberately repeat
risque story in the presence of a
youth deserves no respect He is an
incarnate devil Of meanness. He is
daubing a coarse picture on clean
walls.
No gentleman will tell a story he
could not tell in the presence OF ladies'.
Do you remember what General
Grant said TO the officer who began to
tell a story, remarking. There are no
ladies present" whereupon the silent
soldier quickly retorted. There are
gentlemen presently"
Keep your mind unsullied. A foul
suggestion may harden into a habit Of
thought that will lead you far astray.
Keep clean inside.
IL Is more a matter OF importance
that you should keep the dirt of your
soul than 20 keep ii or your clothes.
