THAT BOY IN VACATION.
rNason CITY Times,1

During school vacation, parents, IL
you have a boy and remain In town,
interest yourself enough IN his vel
fare to see that he has something OF
interest or profit to do. Don't let the
bow ramble the streets in search OF
amusement, for if you do, he is apt
to fall into the habits Of the Streets
which are never known to be good.
We don't advocate putting the young
man at hard labor or long hours, but
there are many things which he can
prof1tably do at home in the uptown
office or stores for few hours day
which will be as valuable training
to him. II not more SO, than he re-
ceiyes in school. Idieness Is a great
breeder of mischief, and from m1schle1
is sometimes grown crimes.
Keep the boy at honest work OF
honest play. Arouse his interest IN
working and saving, teach HIM the
toy of honest sport. Stimulate MS
nride in physical perfectness and men
tai keenness, and before he is yet
grown you will cease TO worry oves
his career. Habit and character are
more easily nodded In the young than
the old, Just as a sapplng - more

THE SANE FOURTH.

bration Of the Fourth OF July. On the
contrary we want to make 1t as strong
as we can that the Courier beheVes
fully that every resident OF this coun-
try should do something In a sane,
sensible and patriotic manner That Will
emphasize the importance OF this DAY
in the American history. The Courier
believes fully in celebrations that VIII
keep a patriotic feeling continuously
in the minds Of the people.
But the Fourth Of July should NOT
be a day that recalls the manning OF
some member Of the family or of a
COSTLY confagation caused by some
false idea OF celebrating. II shouiu
be day Of pleasant and paIiotic
memories and to be looked forward TO
with joyous anticipation instead OF re-

Celebrations Of the day should be

the danger to property and life. Fhe
