THE WISE AGE.

A reader of The Commoner
sends in the following:
"At ten years of age a boy
thinks his father knows a great
deal,
"At fifteen he knows as much as
his father;
"At twenty he knows twice as
much;
"At thirty he is willing to take
his advice;
"At forty he begins to think his
father knew something after all;
"At fifty he begins to seek his
advice;
"And at sixty. after his father is
dead, he thinks he was the smart
est man that ever lived"
The abovel correctly states the
stages through which one passes.
AT about eighteen or twenty the
boy feels stronger than he ever
does afterwards and thinks he
knows more than he ever does
know, but he learns after awhile to
respect the wisdom of his father,
especially when he becomes a
father. There is an education in
all of the experiences of life. The
parent educates the child and the
child in turn enlarges the vision
of the parent. Brothers and sis
ters exert an influence upon each
other, and another part of our
knowledge is gathered from rub
bing up against the world.
Il the child could only learn in
youth that years have given valu-
able experience to the parent. the
child might be saved much costly
folly, but some children ins sist
upon learning by experience, and
they generally get the experience.
There is a common saying that
the young man has to sow his wild
oats. This is complacent
excuse given for youthful indis
cretions. bu 1t does not state the
truth. 1t is not necessary that a
boy should be bad in order to be
good afterwards. 1t is from every
standpoint better that his life
shall be so regulated from the
beginning that the memory is not
stained by scars and blots. II the
confidence which the boy has in
his father at ten continued until
he was twenty five, he would not
only escape the habits that carry
so many to. ruin but would be the
stronger for life's work.

URGE USE OF LARGE MUZZLES
Humane Society Suggests Measure
to Commissioners.
PouDdmaster Reports an Increase
in the Catch of stray Dogs
In the City.

Use only large muzzles on your dogs"
is the earnest suggestion of the Washing
ton Humane Society. Il so states in
letter 10 the District Commissioners. It
also urges that all dog owners be in
structed to this effect, along with the re-
cent order that all dogs must be muzzled
or held in leash when in the streets dur
ing the next six months.
a dog, il says. can perspire only
through its mouth, and can drink only
with extended tongue. To use a muzzle
that will prevent perspiring or drinking
especially in hot weather. Will be an
added and excessive cruelty.
In pursuance OF his orders, Poundmaster
Einstein put men 20 work yesterday 10
build extra accommodations for the ami
mails taken up by the wagons. He said
his weekly report to the health officer
shows an average Of about fifty dogs
taken Up a day. When the new wagon is
put into operation he expects to Increase
this average TO seventy-five, until the
number of stray dogs is materially dimin-
ished. As soon as he gets the enlarged
| service going he thinks he can readily
cope with the situation.

INDUSTRIAL HOME DRILL.
Little Soldiers Appeared 10 Fine Ad-
vantage I'm Competition.


The spacious and beautifully kept
grounds Of the ChildFen's Industrial Home
were the scene last Saturday Of as spir-
tied and closely contested a military COM
peutive drill as the American League
Park grounds ever encompasSed.
The difference in ages and time Of
service being considered. the presentation
was fully as creditable.
Five-sQuad companies. A and B. com
posed Of earnest little soldiers. ranging
from six 10 fifteen years, clothed in gray
uniforms trimmed in black braid, went
through the thirty numbers on the pro-
gramme with as much seriousness as
regulars
The judges. Col. Maurice Brice Cla-
gett, Capt Chesleigh A. Bonine and Capt.
William F. Kelly. Of the High School
Cadets. presided with the dignity and
critical observation of veritable West
Pointers. Maj J. X. Webb. Of the High
School Cadets, who has all winter acted
as military instructor. was compllmented
or every side for the splendid attachments
CT his little battalion.
Company B was first on the field. and.
despite this embarrassing handicap. put
| up a creditable drill, and there was much
speculation among the spectators as to
whether Company A could excel
When Company A came proudly on,
with the prize fag in charge. it was easy
TO be seen that il would drill with the
determination TO keep 1t. Company AS
| ahgnments and cadence won better than
that of Company B, and the judges were
/ fully supported in their decision BY i'm
/ partial spectators when they awarded the
/ flag to Company A.
The drill was followed by music by the
/ band, composed Of several Of the larger
4 of the cadets. alternating with a chorus
/ of girls of the home.
! Supt. c. w. Skinner accounted for the
! extreme neatness Of the flower beds and
/ grounds when he explained that they
were kept on the competitive system. each
| boy and girl having his or her own in
dividual little plot, prizes being given for
! the ones making the best appearance and
attaining the greatest perfection of de-
velopment. This is only one illustration
of the great good being accomplished by
/ the institution
Refreshments were served in the par
