A WORD TO GIRLS.

Girls may feel certain on this point
AS a man treats his mother and sis
tiers, so he will treat his wife. This
may seem very far removed from the
tender feelings which courtship in
duces, but it is nevertheless true A
girl has choice to make, choice up
on which the happiness of her whole
life will depend, and there is always a
time, whether she notices it or not,
before she parts with the control of
her heart at which she ought to listen
to her judgment. Without better
evidence than her own feelings she is
very likely to make a mistake, but if
she can assure herself that her lover
is a man who is respected and liked
by his male, friends and is favorite
at home, she may be pretty sure that
in listening to his love she is choos-
ing wisely.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
TWO BRAVE BOYS.

Every boy who reads this paper has
heard the story of the sinking of the
Republic, and of how the lad who
was the operator of the. wireless tele.
graph stood at his post for hours until
he had brought help to passengers and
crew.
But there was little sequel to the
story which they may not have heard
A week after the disaster, the mana.
ger of a vaudeville company offered
this lad no less than thousand dol.
lars a month if he would appear on
the stage.
"Me?" he said, bewildered. "a thou.
sand dollars? Why, I'm no actor! I'm
only telegraph operator"
This reminds me of a similar story
which is also true.
A few years ago there stood IN Penn.
square, Philadelphia, high old build.
ing filed with Offices and in ruinous
condition. When neighboring house
was taken down, its foundations were
weakened and its walls began to fall
Some of the occupants of the upper
stories escaped; then the stairways
fell. But the frame of the elevator re-
NAMED standing and the engine con.
tinued to work.
! A great crowd assembled in the
streets. watching the lift as it logged
slowly up and down, bringing dozen
men out of the jaws of death. AS it
started up again, the frame of the ele-
vator shook
The police interfered "Stop!' they
shouted to the boy whose hand was
on the lever.
But there are two women up there, .
he said.

WE ARE NEVER CONTENT.

Men are laways longing for the nap
ply days of childhood, and so are WON
en- for that matter It seems to us
this is largely due to the fact that it
isn't common human characteristic
to be contented. AS a matter of fact,
children have as many troubles, and
those that seem as large as the ones
that beset their elders. II you never
knew a man who didn't sigh for the
callow days of youth it is equally GER
tain you never saw boy who didn't
want to grow up and vote and have a
barber squirt lemon juice on his chin.
The sooner you get over this longing
for what you can't accomplish the
greater will be the sum of happiness
you will extract from what you can.
And the rule holds good whether you
are longing for the days that were or
building impossible castles in the flu
ture

and without gesticulations, no matter
how many rings she wore or how
pretty her hands might be.
She was taught even to control her
features; that squirting and winking
the eyes and twitching the mouth were
not MICE" and they could and should
be intermitted in polite society. In
sitting neither the knees nor the feet
were to be crossed, rocking was odious-
ly vulgar, yawning and stretching were
unspeakable offenses and, above all,
the hands must be crossed or folded in
the lap and kept there.
We plead for at least partial re-
sumption of the old forms. Let moth
ers once more teach their daughters
to sit still in company, to cultivate
calmness Let women learn to carry
on earnest conversation. in subdued
tones and without gesticulation.,

OFF l ONLY HAD TIME"

Some young people will pick up a
good education in the odds and ends
of time which others carelessly throw
away, as one man saves fortune by
small economies which others disdain
to practice. What young man is too
busy to get an hour a day for self
improvement?
You will never find" time for any
thing. If you want time, you must
take it.
If a genius like Gladstone carried
through life little book in his pocket
lest an unexpected moment should slip
from his grasp, to what should we, of
common abilities, resort to save the
precious moments from oblivion!
Nothing is worse for those who
have business than the visits of those
who have none" was the motto of
Scottish editor
Drive the minutes or they will drive
you. Success in life is what Garfield
called a question of margins
Tell me how young man uses the
little ragged edges of time while
waiting for meals or tardy appoint
ments after his days work is done or
evenings pportunity-and 1
will tell what that mans success will
be. One can usually tell by his man
ner, the direction of the wrinkles in
his forehead, or the expression of his
eyes whether he has been in the habit
of using his time to good advantage
or not.
"The most valuable of all posses
sions is time; life itself is measured
by it." The man who loses no time
doubles his life. Wasting time is vast
ing life.
Some squander time, some invest it,
some kill it. That precious half hour
a day which many of us throw away,
rightly used, would save us from the
ignorance which mortifies us, the mar
rowness and pettiness which always
attend exclusive application to our
callings
Four things come not back-the
spoken word, the sped arrow, the past
life and the neglected opportunity.

A QUEER BOY.

He doesn't like study, it weakens his
eyes,
But the right sort of book will insure
surprise;
Let it be about Indians, pirates or
bears,
And he's lost for the day to all mum
dane affairs;
BY sunlight or gaslight his vision is
clear;
Now, isn't that queer?
At thought of an errand he, tired as a
hound,
Very weary of life, and of tramping
around;
But if there's band or circus in
sight,
He will follow it gladly from morning
till night
The Snowman will capture him some
day, fear,
For he is so queer.
If there's work in the garden his head
aches to split,
And his back is so lame that can't dig
bit;
But mention football, and he's cured
very soon,
And he'll dig for woodchuck the
whole afternoon!
Do you think he plays 'possum? He
seems quite sincere;
But-isn't he queer?

ADVICE TO BOYS.

Replying to a recent inquiry, Mr..
Bryan said:
There is no NEW advice to give to
boys, and there are no NEW boys to
advise. The boy is the same that he
has been and he is not likely to change
much in the years to come. His i'm
pulses are the same that they were
centuries ago; the dangers that con-
front him confronted his father and
his grandfather in their boyhood days.
If were suggesting warning to boys
l would not suggest a better one than
that embodied in the text, "The wages
of sin is death" That is the law, and
it cannot be repealed. The honest,
truthful, Industrious boy will succeed
in proportion to his intelligence, but
no intelligence can make up for lack
of honesty, truthfulness or industry
especially is it impossible to subst1-
tute anything for honesty and truth
fulness. Laziness will limit ones &C.
complishments whatever his other
good qualities may be, but he can out
grow laziness just he can outgrow lack
vi 0uuCdL1Ou VI luISI11S0uCS, UuI IL ID
much more difficult to outgrow lack
of honesty or lack of truthfulness.
Possibly l ought to suggest that pa
thence is virtue which should be add
ed to the ones already mentioned. I'M
patience has led many young men to
ruin; they have not been willing to
wait for a fortune to come through
legitimate accumulation, and through
their haste to get rich they have fallen.
The boy should "1earn to labor and to
wait Character is built slowly; but
it can be lost in day. The farmer
must wait from seed time until harvest,
however long it may seem, before he
gathers his crop, and so the boy must
be willing to plant in the springtime
of life for the harvest that he will
gather when he is grown.

gedly.
He went to the top story, took on
the women, and came down slowly.
When the floor of the elevator touched
the earth there was great shout OF
triumph. They caught the lad, calling
him a hero, and praying God to bless
him; but he shook himself free from
them.
Somebody had to go, and I'm the
elevator boy" he replied, all uncon-
scious of his bravery and unselfish-
ness.

Ralph Craig the One Big Star Of the
Intercollegiate Meet at Cam

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 27.-The
colors of more than a score OF the
biggest colleges in the east, with
Michigan thrown in for western
touch waved over Soldiers Field this
afternoon when the championship OF
the intercollegiate amateur athletic
association of America, was fought
out.
When the first event was called the
mammoth stadium was packed with
spectators. The elimination races
only served to heighten the dongt as
TO the final result. To most observ-
ers, the fight seemed to rest between
University Of Pennsylvania and Cor
nell, with Yale and Michigan danger
Gus contenders. The Pennsylvanians,
last years winners, qualified men for
every event save the pole vault and
the shotput and the veteran trainer,
Mike Murphy, looked upon the pros
poets Of victory as bright for the Red
and Blue. The Ithacans failed to
qualify as many men as Pennsylvania
and Yale, but the hope OF the Cornell
supporters was in no wise dampened.
Though his impressive performance
