If he likes you he will fight for you,
and if he don't like you he will not have
anything to do with you, and, as the
old saying goes, he lives every day so
that he can look in the face everyone
he meets and tell them to go to thun-
der. In other words, he is honest and
never plays the sneak or hypocrite.
Try to drive one of these high-spirit-
ed, mischievous, f~un-loving boys, and
he becomes, stubborn, headstrong, and
gets the notion in his head that the
proper thing to do is to be bad, and he
usually succeeds. Give this kind of a
boy a little leeway, guide him with
kindness, get his confidence, and that
boy will just be a gentleman, and be
proud of the fact that he is a gentle
man. He will be a gentleman simply
because of the fact that it is natural
for him to be so, and a boy is nothing
