In the old times the thirsty soul-or
body-solaced itself with plain water
or with lemonade The chief variation
upon this was iced tea and once In
while iced coffee. These were the only
beverages open to the drinker Of tenn
perance habits. We have improved
upon that sort Of thing and have III
PRODUCED soft" punches, in which our
old friend, lemonade, while still serv-
ing as a foundation, would not recog-
nize itself. Tea, too, is meta morphos-
ed, although hardly improved, and
other mixtures Of which we did not
dream in earlier days are taken as
matter of course. The house where the
pleasantest welcome and the best and
most refreshing thirst-quenchings are
offered Is likely to be the one to which
the young people will flock, and we
need not fear that our boys and girls
will wander off to undesirable associa-
lions while they know that good things,
both spiritual and physical await them
at home. None Of the drinks given be-
low contains liquor of any sort.
Iced Tea Punch.
Make iced tea and turn it into
punch bowl, on big lump of ice. Add
to a quart Of the strong tea a table
spoonful Of lemon juice, a bottle Of
apollinaris water and sugar to taste
Cut thin slices Of lemon and let them
float on the surface Of the punch.
When they are in season a few straw
berries or cherries or a bit of pine
apple may be added. Ladle out and
drink in tumblers.
Orange sherbet.
Peel and squeeze eight large oranges
and two lemons. Put the juice of the
oranges into a bowl with a small cup
of granulated sugar. After it has stood
10 minutes, and the sugar is well melt
ed, add a tablespoonful Of minced pine
apple, and after standing a few min
a punch bowl. Just before serving
turn in a quart of apollinaris.
Fruit Punch.
Make foundation of good lemon
ade, allowing five lemons to quart of
water and sWeetening to taste. To
each quart of the lemonade allow half
an orange, sliced, tablespoonful Of
pineapple, cut into dice; small
banana, sliced, and a handful Of cher
ries or Strawberries or raspberries.

Because some boys in bathing on the

he was not joking, and with great diff

President G. Stanley Hall, in an ar
ticle in the American Magazine, gives
American fathers something to think
about, Writing Of "the awkward age"
of the boy, be says that in the period
between twelve and sixteen the boy
grows away from his mother, and needs
the wise, guiding hand Of the father.
The father then has great opportunity
to mold the boys flexible, undeveloped
character. Doctor Hall thinks the
American father is not doing this, but
shifts the responsibility to school teach
ers and others. The proper bringing
up of the boy is the finest work a man
can do for himself and the state, and
President Halls comments probe the
underpinnings Of home and nation.

The Way the Tired Man Saved Him
self Labor and Trouble.
One day man went into a very big
store. He had a heavy package with
him.
Not in the sense you mean, smarties.
but in the real sense.
He had to go two blocks farther
down the street and didn't want to
carry the package. So he decided that
he would leave it in the check room.
He asked a f1oorwalker who looked
like United States Senator, but who
was perfect gentleman, where the
check room was. The f1oorwalker said ::
Observation-Disclosures
theWabashside."
He went there, wherever that was.
and found he had made mistake.
He knew it was himself who had
made the mistake, for as nice a man as
foorwalker with Prince Albert on
couldn't have made mistake.
Finally after he had logged his bun
die thirty-two blocks hunting the check
room, had found the check room and
deposited his bundle, he walked his
two blocks to the other place and was
through for the day.
Then he soliloquized:
How should I ever have got through
or stood the wear and tear of that long
two blocks carrying that bundle? If
it hadn't been for the check room sys-
TEN, what could l have done?"-Chi-

A young man named Enathlus de-
sired to learn eloquence and art of
pleading, and he bargained with Pro-
tagoras, the ancient Greek sophist, for
instructions, agreeing to pay one-half
Of the fee down and the other half on
the first day he gained a case. 1t
took the young man so long to learn
that his tutor came to the conclusion
that he was delaying his start in bust
ness to avoid paying the other half of
the fee, SO Protagoras sued him for the
money.
When the case came up for trial Pro
tagoras said to the young man: you
act most absurdly, young man, because
In either case you must pay me. If
the judges decide against YOU. Won
must pay, and If they decide for Won
you must pay, for you will then have
gained your case
you are wrong" replied the vonno
man. I will win either way. If the
judges are for me, I will not have +o
pay, and If they are against me I will
not nave to pay, for this last was the
very bargain between us-namelv If
did not win my case"
Inc judges considered the case in
exp1cable, and as they could not see
their way to any decision they adtonrn-
ed the case to a day that never came
Tor any of the principals. On Pro+a-
goras' side it was case Of losing whar

winning when he lost.

10 you develop your SLrenSLu, III

you not only elevate yourself and hold

TO come to you, when by your own

Do you, in considering every undertake

said that for every self-made man there
are ten self-ruined ones It is safe
guess that nine Of the ten are leaners.
The ranks of mediocrity-of the half

fine natural abilities who never rise
above inferior stations because they
never act Independently. They are
afraid to take the initiative in anything
to depend upon their own judgment
and resources-and SO let opportunity

to inferior grades, while others with
no more natural ability are constantly
advanced over their heads. Analyze
/ these people and you find their real
trouble lies in their lack Of independ-

! slightest move without help or advice
from some outside source. They lack
confidence in themselves. They do not
trust their own powers. They have
never learned to stand squarely on
their own feet, think their own

The price that must be paid for this
shifting Of responsibility is a heavy
one-the loss of kingdom. We volun-
