Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon his
parents for a livelihood until he reaches
the age of twenty-one years costs them four
thousand dollars. On this basis of cal
culation a brood, for instance, of six boys
would represent an outlay of twenty
four thousand dollars by the time they
get away from the home roost The ques-
ton arouses does it pay to raise boys and
are there no other crops that would prove
more profitable? If boy turns out to be

make the untuto-ed donkey feel perfectly
at horne in his society and with an un-

parents might have invested their four
thousand dollars at a much better advan-
tage. But if the BIO grows up to man

One of our exchanges tells of an old
German who had boy Of whom he was
very proud, and decided to find out the
trend of his mind. He adopted novel
method by which to test him. He slip
ped into the boys room one morning and
placed on his table a bottle of whiskey,
a Bible and silver dollar. "Now," said
he, when dot boy comes in if he takes
dot dollar he's going to be beeznis man
if he takes dot Bible he's going to be a
preacher; if he takes dot whiskey he's
no good and is going to be drunkard. >
Then he hid behind the door to see which
his son would choose. In came the boy
whistling. He ran up to the table picked
up the Bible and put it under his arm
then snatched up the bottle, took two OF
three drinks, picked up the dollar and
put it in his pocket and went out smack
ing his lips. The Dutchman poked hi:
head out from behind the door and ex'
claimed Mein Got, he is going to be {

In the first place, the printers are not

own assistants. In this he has to con-
form 10 the printers union, for every
thing in China is done by guilds and
labor organizations. The employers
have also a union, and so have the

that he is not a candidate for ONCE.

ertheless Mr.. Bryan expressed his
pleasure at the compliment paid him
by the editors. He says:
While MIR. Bryan appreciates most
highly the compliment paid him by
those editors who express a prefer
ence for his denomination In spite OF
three defeats. he regards the vote
merely as an indication that larger
number OF editors are still uncertain
as to who will be the most available.
They probably voted for MIR. Bryan
from habit because they had not de-
cided on a candidate.
"As Mr.. Bryan is not candidate,
and never expects to be a candidate
again. he can without being mIsun-

those who are awaiting develop
