THE BOY A POTENTIALLY.
A Man In The Cocoon, Big, With
Many Possibilities, You Do Not

Ebert Hubbard.

Ebert Hubbard.
have a profound respect for boys.
Grimy, ragged, tousled boys in the
street often attract me strangely. A
boy is a man in the cocoon-you do
not know what he is going to become
his life is big with many possibili-
ties. He may make or unmake kings,
change boundary lines between
States, write books that will mould
characters, or invent machines that
will revolutionize the commerce OF
the world.
Wouldn't you like to turn time
backward, and zee Abraham Lincoln
at twelve, when he had never worn a
pair Of boots? The lank, lean, yellow,
hungry boy; hungry for love, hungry
for learning, tramping OF through
the woods for twenty miles to borrow
a hook, and spelling it out, crouched
before the glare of the burning logsi
Then there was that Corsican boy.
one OF the goodly brood who weighed
only fifty pounds when ten years old;
who was thin and pale and perverse,
and had tantrums, and had to be
sent supperless to bed, or locked in a
dark closet because he wouldn't
"mindl" Who would have thought
that he would have mastered every
phase OF warfare at twenty-six; and
when told that the exchequer OF
France was in dire confusion, would
say, "the finances? I will arrange
them"
Yesterday 1 rode on horseback
past field where a boy was plough
ing. The lads hair stuck out through
his hat; his form was bony and awk-
ward; one suspender held his trousers
in place; his bare legs and arms were
brown and sunburned and brier.
SCARED. He swung his horses around
az passed by, and from under the
Tapping brim OF his hat he cast a
quick glance out of dark, half-bash-
full eyes and modestly returned nv
salute. His back turned, [ took OFF
my hat and sent a GOd-bless-you
down the furrow after him.
Who knows? I may go to that
boy to borrow money yet, or to hear
him preach, or TO beg him to defend
me in a lawsuit; or he may stand
with pulse unhastened, bare of arm,
in white apron, ready to do his duty,
while the cone is placed over my face.
and Night and Death come creeping
into my veins.
Be patient with the boys; you are
dealing with soul-stuff.

BETTER THAN THE GOLDEN
RULE.
Never Allow Any One.tO Do Tore For

Contributed.

Contributed.
About twenty-five years ago there
lived a man near me who was very poor,
vet he and his family of wife and three
children seemed to be perfectly happy
and contented Their poverty did not
keep them from being happy and cheer
full. You would not on meeting this
man on the street or highway learn or
see that he was taking life 30 happily.
You would have to have business with
him or work with him to learn that he
possessed that which some one has said
ia worth more than kingdoms-con-
tentment.
You would not think that a man with
out any worldly possessions more than
q few household goods and living IN a
log cabin would be very contented. L
did not learn the secret OF this man g
happiness and contentment until he was
preparing to move away into another
county. "NeVer allow any one to DO
more for ,yOu than yOu do for them.
These words were spoken by one OF the
children while he was getting two chick
ems to take to q boy who had given him
one. | got interested. "Is that the way
YOU always do?" yes" said he, "Pa
saws that it is better than the Golden
Rule"
began to think about the life OF this
man in the two years that | had known
him. On reflection | saw that he had
lived up to his ideal Of life OF doing more
for Others than they had done for
him. He had done this by speaking
kindly OF you, by acts OF Kindness in time
OF sickness or need and by deeds and
service OF money value. In his straitened
circumstances he had not done anything
to attract the attention OF men but the
idea OF the duty OF man to place the
world in debt to him impressed itself
upon me and shall never forget it.
There was something good about this
man and the pity is that his circum-
stances in life were such that his fellow
men were not bettered more by his hav-
ing lived. However, we have learned a
great lesson that al OF us can put in
practice, that is by putting your fellow
men and the world in debt to you by
your acts and deeds and by doing more
In every way for your immediate as
sociates than they do for you. Try this
and be contented and happy.

The Telephone as a Teacher.
Raleigh Christian Advocate.

Raleigh Christian Advocate.
Have you ever stopped to think
that the telephone may be something
more than a commercial or social
factor in your life? Has it ever
dawned upon you that it may be a
great teacher in morals?
For example, while you are sitting
quietly at ease, or with your mind con-
centrated on some vexing problem,
there comes a ring which combines
the urgency of a fire-bell and the
whirring defiant note OF a hornet
when it is about to sting. Your first
impulse is to throw something at the
receiver Every nerve cries out,
Smash the thing" But, hold. You
have it in your power to give those
nerves such a discipline as will make
them as gentle as an old family horse
the next time a prOvocation OF any
kind may arise. To throw something
at the receiver. or go to it with a
frown on your face, will serve only to
make those nerves run away with
you, surely, next time.
You may go to the receiver, and the
only message you receive is the state
ment that they are only "trying the
line" Now, do not abuse the one
who is trying the line for unnecessarily
disturbing you, but speak a gentle
word, and remember that not only is
the cline" ''being tried" but that
your moral strength is being tested.
Tomorrow. something may come up
to vex you, but you will have learned
from the telephone that the vexing
thing is only to try the line which
connects you with good morals.
1t may be that when you go to the
receiver and answer gently the stri-
dent question, "Who's that, THE only
reply is that deadest of all silences-
the silence of "cut-off." The wrong
number has been called. There was
not even "thank you" and you long
to teach that person some politeness.
But forget it. 1t will do you more
good to pity such colossal ingratitude
and to study the meaning of the third
and fourth verses of the fifth chap
ter of Romans than to hurl objurga-
tions at hard-headed, ungrateful in
dividuals.
In other words, the telephone is q
factor which often is not so wonder
full in the domain of science as poten-
tial in the domain OF morals. Itmay
make or mar your character.

the further she will get away from

more than forty loafers or non-pro-
ducers in brOadcloth.

Attend to Your Own Business.

Fairbrother's Everything.
The man who gets into his head
just right that he should attend to
his own business and not worry so
much about the other fellow, will live
equally as long; die fully as happy,
and possibly have a little better time
going through the so-called "vale Of
tears
There are people who have nothing
else to do but criticise the clothes
worn by their neighbor; people who
gossip about other folks and forget
that their own back yard is full of
tin cans and dead cats; people who
want to reform the whole universe
and who need reforming first them
selves.
The world is all right-some of the
paths are little rough; some of the
hills are little steep-but if you at
tend to your own business and let
the other fellow attend to his, unless
you are invited in either as a friend
or on q salary, there will not be so
many discOrdant notes in your life.
SO long as a man leaves you alone,
leave him alone.

Teach Them The Laws of Health.

Says an exchange very aptly:
We teach children grammar that
they may know how to speak cor
rectly; arithmetic that they may
know how to calculate correctly in
their business transactions; but more
important to them than either is a
knowledge of the laws OF life and
health, that they may know how to
avoid disease, and eat, drink, sleep,
battle, breathe; in short, live cor
rectly. This knowledge does not
come by instinct more than q knowl-
edge of grammar does.
