fiict with their neighbors. the judg- ment and the conscience. In the same group or household discords arise be- tween different kinds of feelings F1lial sentiments prompt to obedi- ence as son. while the play or food appetite pushes him in a contrary di- rection He often knows better than he does, or even wants to do. He will probably have that inirmity as iol as he lives. but 1t may become less infirm, with the years. He may not become so poised that the re- memDrance of the stomach ache of the previous night will wholly restrain all desire for the food that brought il on. He is somewhat like the eIi- mate of the Holy Land" as it was de scribed in a boys composition, thus: The climate of Palestine Is very hot and mountainous. especially where the country is fiat" And his ineon- gruities remind me of a funeral sery- ice l attended, conducted by two lit tie girls over chicken. Nanine was in charge. and she said
 Little Willie was four days old when he died of cholera. He was good chicken. We will now sing Johnnie Get Your Hair Cut" and the two sang the song.
 Further-he does not seem 10 be very we'll acquainted with himself yet. He hasn't time-too busy be- ing a boy. He learns himself by niRRanRal a ic at what he discovers. sometimes awed and sometimes stricken with fear. When he discovers his ability to swear or do a mean thing, he often recoils so thoroughly as to never go near that sin again. He Is sometimes shocked at finding what he lacks and what he cannot do. It Is not conceit that is disappointed. but ignorance made aware of itself We have all been as naive as that boy who, when asked if he could read Greek, replied: T dunno, never tried"
 Between himself and the thing thought of or desired, there is only a step. and he does not know that the law of cause and effect Is in that step. So he Is ready to pilot boat, handle firearms. and autos without H. cense. and do any other daring thing.
 The last thing to be said is that there is a power in him capable of CO., ordinating and controlling all his va | rious and curious and conflicting en. dowments; not yet but before long. Till 1t awakes to it's task, some one ] else must keep in control

Antecedents and Consequences

to him. They must be able to endow him with the very qualities he will need all his life and must see that he uses them; if not. they have no right to undertake to endow him at all As he has to take what they give him. they are the folks I am at this par ticular moment, most emphatically speaking to-
 Another fact is that he is blend which makes a new type. a product different from all the elements of the preceding generation; like his father and mother, but unlike them; some. thing bran new, the latest thing in hoys. new chemical reaction.
 This indicates what he is headed for. It is not enough to say that he is to flower into man. but the flor. essence Is the thing We are thrillingly interested in. It also indicates the rather helpless. and sometimes hope less, condition in which he finds him. self. The unchosen factors are many and mighty and sometimes mystifying. He cannot chose his parents, th13gh l know boys who will regret ., the,r dying day that they did not have the choosing. He has to take the kind of eyes, nose, teeth. chin. ears and feet handed out to him. You will not find one boy in a hundred who has not spent valuable time wishing his nose were not of the turn up variety or his lip not so lengthy or his feet not so ambitious. Even before girls get mixed up in his visions and his dreams, he will spend time at the mirror considering his defects. The community in which he is born. or reared, is not of his choosing and is considered none of his concern though many a boy is ruined by II. When their parents died. Tom was put into one family and Joe into an other. Tom breathed in love and hope and nobility. Joe was poisoned to the very tips Of his soul and life poisoned forever His atmosphere is prepared for him. though 1t may be heavy with lack of appreciation. and with unbearable burdens, or fetid with moral pollutions; or rare with aduIa. tions and false pleasures; or langIlid with enervating luxury; or poisoned with hypocricy and pretense. He did not choose them. he only has to take them. He seldom choses his com. panions or teachers. they are thrust upon him. And sometimes they try to push him into his profession. but. by that time, he is ready 10 have hand in it himself And even the daring sacrilege. of selecting a wife for him, is often attempted.

Christian Science Is Tabooed.

Oklahoma City.-Christian Science received direct slap in the face from the Oklahoma criminal court of ap- peals. when that body handed down a decision holding that a parent can be punished for failure to furnish medical attendance for his child. and that the religious belief of t- parent is no defense against the charge Of having failed to do so. The case was that of Lawrence Owens of Beaver county. Owens refused to permit medical attendance for his child. Cora Owens, when she had typhoid fever in the winter of t90S, though he admitted physicians offered to do the work free of charge.

When we think of him as an animal the scientists tell us that he has the same origin as the other animals. has travelled further and that, somewhere on the way, a new power got hold of him. that has made a difference as wide as the universe between him and them They tell us that there are more than fifty.seyen varieties of remnants. left in him. of the former stages of life and that he is sort of recapitulation of them all. Over that point we will not finger.
 II was diyinely arranged that he should have a physical origin and a necessary likeness to his ancestors. And We know that a responsible and epoch making ancestor of his was made in the image of God and. though there has been wreckage in that image, he is a descendant of that an- cestor and still shows the traces of 1t Like produces like, even if there is some personal unukeness and even dislike. His heavenly origin is not to be forgotten His body is not only divinely fashioned. but diyinely furnished with its occu- pant, whether he is good or bad Who made you?" asked the Sunday school teacher of big. rough mountaineer of twelve who had just come 10 town
 Dunno" he grunted out
 You don't? Why. Robbie knows. Now. Robbie. will you tell us who made you?"

 Now. you see, little boy like Bob bic, remembers that
 Guess he orter." grunted the big boy, looks like he ain't been made more'n a fortnight" No one may get far enough away from his origin to forget
 It is of practical importance to bear in mind that the personal traits, which make him the kind of boy he Is. are due to the kind of ancestors he has. Heredity is a great serious, sometimes eomical, but oftener trag- fcal. force with him. He is more apt fo be like his immediate parents. yet. sometimes, by a curious kind of per yersity, he runs back into the genera tions and selects some ridiculous or contemptible trait, which nobody but a boy would ever think Of selecting and builds the freakish thing into the house of his life.
 But he usually gets his traits from the nearest generation. and if any are to be bad people, il must net be his father and mother. because they fur nish environment as well as ancestry

HAD BEEN SILENT SUFFERER
Subordinate Officer the Recipient of Hints Intended for His
 Superior.

A sea captains wife tells this story of a maiden woman, sister of one of the owners of the ship on which she once made a long voyage. She had very decided opinion on most matters, and she and the captain had many spirited arguments at the dinner table.
 The captains wife, a meek, submis- sive little soul. fearing that in the heat of argument her husband might say something to offend their august passenger, was in the habit of kick ing him on the shins to hint at moder- atioH Nevertheless, all these remind CTS passed unheeded.
 One day she administered a more vigorous kick than usual, and noticed an expression of pain fit across the face of the mate. who sat opposite her.

His Table of Contents

His life Is a volume and his con- tents voluminous. It becomes a story, an epic, in time, but to start with it has the disconneetedness of dictionary. His contents are some what like the articles of an observa- ton party. in their variety and seem ing indebtedness
 It would be rather easy 10 make out the list, If he were only a little man." as he is sometimes playfully or pat ronizingly called. But he Is not little man" any more than his pa is a "big boy" or a caterpillar Is little butterfly. He is a prospective man. an enfo!ded man, as his pa is an un- folded boy. The difference between hfm and man is not a difference in quantity or quality, but the difference between enfoidedness and unfolded- ness
 When he first starts out to be a boy, he is more like a little beast than nan. and the things that make the difference between a man and a beast make no difference to him. The saving fact, though. is that he is a man in embryo.
 His table of contents has vSriety. 1t includes physical, mental, moral, aesthetic, and all the other powers that we know anything about
 In the list We must put love and hatred. hope and fear. aspiration, am bition, sense of justice and fairness, appreciation of the beautiful and sub lime and true. In fact, there is not power of the body or soul that we can leave out. and the reader may go on with the catalogue as far as he wishes. at his convenience
 But they are in the immature and curious stage when we are apt to mis- take them for whalebone and leather and pig iron and cat gut and rag weed and sweet williams and morning glories- Yes. he is pretty we'll loaded.
 And they are active, too. all of them. That state of agitation is sometimes called state of fux, which means huency. They are all at work, all the time. Some get started while the o'aers are opening their eyes One set of powers will have their way for awhile. then others will get into the lead.

 The whole affair occurred within the city limits of Memphis. and was evidently the work of experts. II was eleyerly accomplished, and there was no hitch in the evidently pre- arranged program at any stage of the proceedings. The train left the Pop lar street station about 9 o'clock. A mile and a half from the depot two masked men with guns in their hands entered from the front Of the mail car and in a business-like way covered the eight men who were sorting the mail. The robbers directed the clerks to gather the registered mail together and put il in that, throwing down a gunny sack. One bandit covered the mail crew with a gun and the other superintended the work of the clerks in gathering the loot.
 None Of the train crew was aware of the robbery until the emergency brakes were applied.
 An estimate of the value of the mail taken is not available. but it IS stated that the train carried heavy shipment Of registered matter, the accumulation of trains coming over several roads early in the evening, destined for points in the North and East.

DON'T LIKE THE ROAD
OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

Mr.. M. E. Kyle and W. W.
Gibbs made a trip to Monterey in a
Brush runabout Sunday. Mr.. Gibbs
in commenting on the trip said: Il
would like to have had the road
superintendent who is responsible
for the condition of the road cross
ing the divide tied to the back of
the runabout. Some one suffering
from temporary insanity has mis-
named this piece of abomin.rioh a
pike, and they have the nerve to
charge S1.15 toll from Buckhorn to
Monterey. The people at Monte
say that is not an unusual condl-
tlon, but that they have suffered so
long without relief that now they
have given up hope" The ma
chine consumed 4 gallons OF gaso-
line for the ninety miles.-Staun-
ton Leader.
These gentlemen saw our pike
at about the worst season of the
year, but we make no apologies for
| it further than that. The state
ment. however, that the "people OF
Monterey have given up hope" is
not true. They have no "hope''
under the present wasteful method
of working, but road-improvement
is going to be burning issue from
now on,
