The Brinkley argus., 1910-02-18

l J glrl. Now girls. see how differ ent some of them are in the par 1 Tor and in-the, ahem!-in the
 home.
 Back to the boys. A tap, and
 off went the lower garments as
 the night shirt fell nearly to their ankles. Each garment was
 neatly folded and put in it's place.
 A tap, and each boy jumped in
 bed on his knees, hands folded in prayer. Another tap, and un- der the cover they went. Noth- ing to shock the most fastidiOus. Nov can't be made to believe but that lots and lots of that neatness, order and system will cling to those boys. They go in-
 to the world, marry some female
 that has none of these qualities,
 are they to be blamed so very much for doing desperate things! The same is true of nice girls.
 One boys mother (what a desecration of the word or appel lation mother) went to see him so drunk that she could not keep her hat on straight. He, the boy, cried and asked, Please not come again. :" It is not only the men but women are swayed by passions that cure the earth. The cause of most of it is lack of home training.
 Now as my pencil is working I'n tell you of one of our many business experiences in a great city. You of the ARGUS family of readers who do not know me may better know me when tell you I once. lived in Brinkley and my deceased husband, Dr. Bates, enjoyed the practice, honor and emoluments which came to the leading physician of Krinkley as it was back in the '70's and sos. c cod old days were they.

A vocal teacher came to me for Consuelo to play an obligato for a Chicago church entertainment. asked: What compensation" Five dollars is all I can pay" was the reply. Alright, said 1, but be sure it is five" It will cost US 40 cents car fare, so there is only S4. 60 profit. To my amazement the widow who was to sing had studied only two months and to start with had no more more voice than a cat. Ave Marie" by "Gunod" was the piece. Sembric would have told her to go and study five years and then she would know better than to attempt it. l said to Consuelo: "The good Lord help you for 1 fear for the result. " The evening came. The teacher and 1 sat back in the last row of chairs. Consuelo had quite a little solo before the widow (who was evidently hunting a fel- low") came in with her part. After a few measures Consuelo tucked her violin under her arm and quit. The fool teacher said to me: Cant she play?" Yes" l said, "but not off the key like your pupil is trying to sing. She growled some more and 1 judged that she wanted an excuse not to pay. l looked at her a moment and said in a very decided tone: You pay that five dollars and do it quick, or I'll call my daughter from the stage with an explanation not very creditable to you" The five dollar bill fairly leaped from
