CHORES FOR THE BOY.

The great loss of city boys is the
loss of duties. Their sphere has been
curtailed tremendously by the draw
ing of the city limit lines. When the
boy lived on the farm or in the small
town, he found plenty Of things to do,
which were sport In the doing and
only incidentally work, says the St
Paul Dispatch. He went abroad on
his duties, performing his chores, and
yon the way he found rich treasure
which he brought back with him, and
stored up for a lifetime's use, Did
he 20 after the evening cattle, he left
the soft earth move up between his
happy toes and experienced a sensa-
ton of the composition, yes, and the
poetry Of the soil which the city boy
can never know, however much he
baros feet to the asphalt. Every turn
no made In his chores. In wood or
feld. In barnyard or stable, he found
something to make 1t pleasure-were
1t only the exercise of muscles. The
country boy had his limitations, no
doubt. The city boy has his advan.
tages. If he only knew how to take
them. He has vastly more material
in hand out of which to stimulate his
imagination. to quicken his intelli-
gence-if only he could retain, or his
parents retain for him, some of the
duties of DID, some Of the chores
which would give ballast to his life
This may be the day Of the division
of labor" and the hired man of the
furnace and the lawn may perhaps do
his work more steadily and more ex-
plicitly than the boy Of the house, But
the boy should be considered in this
division, and parents should not maks
their lives SO easy that they rob him
OF doing his immemorial chores
