The old world has mighty little to
offer boys who start out In Life at ten
years old sucking cigarettes, except
quarters In insane asylums, penitentia-
ries or jobs holding down dry goods
boxes. rubbing the sand of depot walls
at train time or touring the country on
brake beams. None Of these occupa-
lions, by the way, yields a very hand
some salary. It Is well for the boy to
look into the future far enough to
make up his mind whether he wants
to hang out with this kind Of company.
II he doesn't he would better cut the
cigarettes out.
