CLOTHES TOO FINE
BoRHY's REASON FOR WANTING
A FEW PATCHES.
Younaster Felt That He Was Alto
aether Too Well Dressed TO MIngIe
with the Other Boys Of the
Neighborhood.

A small boy sat by himself on
stone wall. Behind the wall, and ct
some distance from 1t, was an ivy
covered stone house suggesting wealth
and comfort. The other houses in the
neighborhood were much more mod
est, and the group Of children playing
on the common In front of the stone
house had the cheerfully soiled and
ragged aspect Of youngsters whose
parents are not much given to pro-
viding fine clothes for their children
to play in. Eut the boy sitting on the
wall evidently belonged to the stone
house, and his garments had q CORE
spending 'neatness. ~
Presently lady came out Of the
house and moved down the path to
the sidewalk. les
Hello, Bobby" she remarked, when
she reached the small boy. 'You seem
to be focking to yourself. Anything
the matter?"
Bobby looked up gloomily-
'T'm sick Of IL. Aunt Ellen" he re-
piled. bitterly. That's what's the mat

"Clothess What's the matter with
your clothes? They look ell right to
me-"
That's because you're not a boy"
replied Bobby, briefly.
Perhaps It is" agreed his aunt.
"But what's the matter with them?
You're quite the best dressed little
boy in the neighborhood"
'sHumph!" sniffed Bobby. He leaned
toward her confdentially. Don't you
s'pose you could make mamma let me
have couple Of patches-just little
ones?"

"All. the other fellers have patches or

knees, but It don't do any good
Mamma always goes and gets me a
new pair OF trousers. X makes you
feel silly always to have a whole pair
when all the other fellers have holes
or patches" He kicked his heels dis
consoIately against the stone wall.
"You can't have any fun when
you're different from all the other fel-
lers," he added.

your kind" said Aunt Ellen, thought

THE "pULL" THAT PULLS.

ID
Hundreds Of, young American men
Of good education and as many with
inferior education, are every year 60
ing out. into the world to find work
with noe pull except the pull of their
own Willingness to work, and are find
ing It. They De pot always find at
first exactly what they would most
like to find sometimes they miss find
ing it altogether-b they find work
Of some sort, and we believe there are
not many cases in which they do not
find their own true level.
That there are cases of pull" is 70
doubt true. IN world like this, there
patnrally would ybe. xAswaH-fny business
is normally inclined toward taking INTO
his employ his son or his nephew or
the son of his friend who asks an op-
portunity for the boy. Sometimes the
venture goes WE'LL sometimes 1t does
not. Sometimes the young man shows
marvellous aptitude for success, and
not infrequently he shows as marvel
Gus aptitude for failure and sooner or
later has to give way to the man who
has no friends to help him to his start
These things are happening every day
much more often than the case Of the
young man, moral, smart, Industrious
who tramps the streets for months
looking for work. After all, the most
effective pull is the pull Of the mans
own eff1ciency.--New Bedford Stan
dard.

office within few months and nobody

have no intention Of undoing the good
