WHAT BOYS SHOULD NOT LEARN

According to the idea of many Of the
rising generation young man should
learn to lie, to cheat, to swear, to drink,
to play billiards, to swagger in the streets,
to live without work, to ogIe every pretty
girl he meets, to treat his elders with dis
respect, to talk loud in the presence OF
others, to put on style whether he can
afford it or not, to boast Of the feminine
conquests he has made, to have every
slang term on his tongues end, to gossip
with his chums about bis lady acquaint-
ances, to attract all the attention to him
self that he possibly can, to talk like a
loafer and fop, instead Of quiet, sem
sible man, to call hther ''the old man"
and his mother "the old woman" to
think lily of every woman he sees, and
to speak lily Of her every chance he gets,
TO turn up his nose at those quiet, sober,
industrious young men, who do not train
in his crowd, to treat his sister without
any sort of regard, to treat her like an
ill-bred loafer instead Of gentleman.
Here is your picture, fast young man,
true to life. Look at it. How do you
like III What have these characteristics
made Of your What has the future in
store for you? Unless you change your
course most radically-Ruin.

When they were on the other
side all the bugs wanted to take
the credit upon themselves. The
little heroes, however, took their
victim and cut it into pieces. Each
took piece as souvenir and
tucked it under his wing.
They all flew joyfully to the

These little bugs gave their
