THE REAL GOLD CLEANING
Humorous. Philosophical. - And Truth
ful,-Briefs

The stars were glimmering overhead
when the farmer rose from his downy
bed; he yelled, as he raped on the bed
room door: Get up, boys, upi 1t is
nearly fourl When / was as young and
as spry as you, | always got out of bed
at two. Boys nowadays aren't worth a
hang; never saw such lazy gang; it 8
o'clock and you're still in bed, and the
cows not MIXED and the hogs not fed!
| / reckon you'd sleep all day and more,
if didn't break down the bedroom door!
Get up, get upl 1t will soon be dawn,
and the best of the morning then is
goneP The boys obeyed him and ut
their snores, and donned their raimant
and went out doors. The farmer sat
by the kitchen range, where his wife
was working, and said: tits strange,
how the boys are crazy to quit the
farm-the city life has a wondrous
charm. They have lots to eat and a
place to sleep, and they're always sure
of their board and keep, and why
they're anxious to quit the land, is
something can not understand. The
good wife said, in an undertone, as she
placed in the skillet a piece of bone,
and struck her fork in some thingumy-
Jigs: ITS maybe because they are
not pigs"
have on my desk list Of /, 900 sue
cessful men of this nation writes an
authority. By Successful do not
mean mere moneymakers, but men who
have given US new conceptions Of steam,
electricity, construction work, educa-
ton, art, etc. These are the men who
influence our moral as well as physical
lives. They construct for better things,
How these men started in work is in
teresting. Their first foothold in work
is fine study.
Three hundred started as farmers
sons. Two hundred started as messen-
ger boys. Two hundred were news
boys. One hundred were printers ap-
prentices. One hundred were appren-
ticed in manufactures. Fifty began at
the bottom of railway work. Fifty
only fifty-had wealthy parents to give
them start.
1t is just as true as ever that the
way-at least one way--to a man 8
heart lies through his stomach, nor is
there anything necessarily discreditable
either to the man or to the woman who
cooks the palatable food designed to
win bis regard. Every thing depends
on the proper nourishment Of the body.
Food is the ultimate basis of life and
ones energy, efficiency, contentment
and all desirable things depend on
properly cook I'd food. No chronic dys-
peptic can be either successful or hap
py. All succe ss to the practical cook
ing schools AMI to what is still better,
the old home kitchen.
Make nome the loafing place and
playground of your chiidscH and ten
chances to one the little feet that have
tracked your floors with mud viii not
leave their footprints along the paths
of vice and crime; the sweet faces Of
your boys that have been such Joy to
you in their childhood will not adorn
the rogues' gallery; the little hand that
has been so oft pressed to your lips
will not push the chips across the
gamblers table, the chubby arms of
your daughters that have 80 oft en-
twined your neck will not be employed
to embrace a street rowdy and their
lips will not be pressed to those be-
fouled with obscene language, nor sip
the wine that leads to shame.
