Boys, Don't.

Don't cultivate a taste for liquor
or tobacco. They do you no good.
They are expensive, and until your
tastes and stomach are perverted
they rebel against them.
Don't go out of the hall between
acts. If you wish to let people know
that you are there, you should have
the manager announce it. It's bet
ter taste.
Don't forget that you are to run
this great country some day-fill all
the public offices, make all the laws.
decide all judicial questions, man
age all the business enterprises, and
in a word, own and control this
great world.
Don't let your temper take the
bits between its teeth, my boy, and
imperil what little remains of self
control. Bear constantly in mind
the biblical injunction, that he who
ruleth his own temper is greater
than he who taketh a city-or words
to that effect.
Don't spend your entire income in
line clothes. Good manners, good
sense and good habits will bind your
friends closer to you, make you
think more of yourself, be respected
more by others, and better received
into society than any amount of fine
clothes will that you can buy.
Don't consider it manly to be
around with bowie knife and a re-
volver; to carry pipe and to swear.
Keep well in mind that this is not
what constitutes a man. No, boys,
this will never gain for you the
place that true man may occupy
Not even the wearing of big NOUS
tache makes the man. Uprightness
in dealings and honorable convic-
lions are what we admire In a man,
and what constitutes manliness.

Why He Was Excluded.

Kansas City Times: A friend OF
James Whitcomb Riley tells of an oc-
casion when the humorist, VINO
usually dislikes social functions, was
induced to attend literary" din
ner in Indianapolis, given in honor
of one of the novelists who live
there. Mr.. Riley had been told to
take in to dinner a sister of the host
an excellent woman, but not lit
erary.
The conversation touched upon the
beauties of Chaucer, about whom a
certain set of the city were then cul-
tivating a fad. A spirited discussion
ensued, during which the bewilder-
ed sister caught from time to time
only the name "Chaucer. At last
she whispered to Mr.. Riley:
who is this Mr.. Chaucer they're
talking so much about? Is he very
popular in society?"
Madam solemnly responded
Riley, that man did something that
forever shuts him out Of society"
Mercy" exclaimed the worthy
woman, what was it?'
HE died several hundred years
ago" said Riley.

A NEW POTATO.
New Product Being Evolved by
Experiments i'm France.

A new potato is being evolved by
experiments in France, hopefully of
a good variety. Not one of the
names common there to four score
years ago is ever heard OF now. The
favorite early potato was the Mesh
annock, a fiat, pinkish colored, fine
variety, as we recollect it; while the
Pink-Eye, white and blue, something
the same shape but larger, was the
standard for eating by particular
people. The Irish Gray was a red
dish-skin potato, about the size of
a base ball, not much grown nor
yielding well, soggy and coarse, and
brought to the table after the better
ones were gone. The Merino, yell
lowish, long, sometimes two or three
growing and sprangling together,
usually fed to cattle and boiled to
hogs; too coarse and strong for fam
lily use, while even the Irish Grays
lasted. They yielded enormously
four four-foot hills sometimes pro-
ducing a bushel. In 1856, in Kos
suth county, fine old Irish farmer
had 200 bushels of them, averaging
in size with his ears of corn; but
their cultivation was soon aban-
doned, corn taking their place for
feed Going back to old times, the
Pink-Eyes also yielded heavily, till
in 1914, AS or '46, in Pennsylvania
and York State, 1.-The rot" set in
the dire effects of which should be
recalled by all the country boys big
enough to pick up potatoes behind
the hoe at that time. In 1857 Elias
Kellogg, living near Algona, paid
three dollars for four Peachblow po-
tatoes at FIT. Dodge, walking home
SO miles through the night, with the
promising new finds in his hands
and pockets-and from that begin
ming the country neighborhOod, we
presume, was stocked with that new
and excellent variety.-In 1871 or
~, in Lyons, on the way to dinner
one noon, we saw a wagon load of
blue Pink-Eyes, reported to our land
lord, Daniel Dean, who commissioned
us to buy them-but they were very
poor potatoes, and in rebuttal for
misdirected zeal we ate of them ev-
cry day until they disappeared. AS
said at first, to our knowledge not
one of the varieties grown when "the
rot" struck them is now cultivated
not even the delicate little Lady
Fingers, which were baked and nib
bled at from similar fingers, or en-
quilted at one mouthful by hungry
farmers.

Passed the Star.

Housekeeper: Captain Lawson was
owner and pilot of the packet New
Orleans, plying the Mississippi in the
flush boating days of 80. Old Mis-
sissippi broke, banks. There were

star"
"Yas, boss"
When the captain awoke an hour
