A WORD IN SEASON.

IF YOU would have your boys pure,
make comrades of them and then live as
you would wish them to live. There are
few things more fruitful than example,
either good or bad What do you know
about the associates of your boys? With
what sort of companions is the most of
their time spent? Do you wish your boys
to associate with those whose language
is interladen with profanity; with one
whose language is vulgar and one whose
thoughts, words and deeds are immoral?
Are you sure that your boy is free from
these defects? We trust that every par
ent who sees this article will take time
to carefully think about the matter. and
consider whether he or she has been do
ing his or her duty. There is but little
danger of being too careful, 1--WE do not
say strict, but the great da ger lies in
being too careless. Keep your boys
home as much as possible and do make
it possible to do so at night, at least. Do
your utmost to provide suitable employ
ment and amusement for them at home,
and assist them IN their choice Of friends
and companions. Exercise care in the
matter and it can be done without max
ing your boy suspicious of you, or with
ont irritating him, but it will instead, de-
light him to see the interest that YOU
have displayed.
A BOYS FRIEND.

The Hagerstown Electric Railway
Company has filed an answer to the suit
recently brought against it by the Mayor
and Council, Of Hagerstown, which seeks
to have the company restrained from fur
nishing electric current for lighting and
power purposes, in competition with the
municipal electric plant. The answer
alleges that the company is selling cur
rent TO citizens under a contract entered
into some wears ago by the city with
Powell Evans, who assigned the franchise
to the Hagerstown Railway Company.
The answer denies the allegation of the
Mayor and Council that the latter has en-.
tire control of furnishing electricity to the
citizens OF that city.

Senator Jackson Has Road Bill.

Senator Jackson, Of MARYLAND. offered
in the Senate bill providing for the con-
structlon of good roads by plan which
is as novel as it is commendable. His
bill appropriates $40, ooo,o TO be ex-
pended annually. but the expenditure Of
money is based entirely on the PROPOSE
ton that the States must themselves FIRST
build the road and then the government
will pay one-hall the cost Of its constrac-
ton after it has been approved by the
postmaster general as road helpful to
commerce and by the secretary of agri-
culture as a road constructed along the
latest ideas of scientific road building.

SUCCESS ONLY THROUGH roIL.

Our Young readers of this column-es-
pecially the young meu-Should always
remember that success is found most
often in the path Of toll. There is no
way to genuine success except through
toil-either bv head or hand. AT the
battle of Crecy in 1si6, the Prince Of
Wales, finding himself heavily pressed
by the enemy, sent word TO his father for
help The father, who was watching The
battle from a windmill. and seeing that
his son was not wounded, and could

desire this day to be his with all Of its
honors." !" Young man, fight your own
battles all through life and you will have
won the victory. Oh, it is a battle worth
fighting. Two monarchs of old fought
a duel, Charles V and Francis. and the
stakes were kingdoms, Milan and Bur
eundy. You fight the battle with sin,
and the stake is heaven or hell
Do not get the fatal idea that you are
a genius and that. therefore, there is no
need of close application. 1t is here that
multitudes fail. The curse of the age is
geniuses; men with enormous self conceit
and egotism and nothing else. We had
rather be an OK than an eagle; plan and
plod, dim useful. rather than high flying
and good for nothing but to pick out the
eyes of carcasses. Extraordinary capac-
ity without work is extraordinary failure.
There is no hope for the person who be-
gins life resolved to live by his wits for
the probability is that he has not any.
1t was not safe for Adam, even in his un-
fallen state. to have nothing to do, and
therefore God commanded HIM to be a
farmer and horticulturist. He was TO
dressithe garden and keep it, and had he
and his wife obeyed The divine Injunction
and been at work. they would not have
been sauntering under the trees and
hankering after the fruit that DESTROYED
them and their posteritv; proof positive
for all ages to come that those who do
not attend to their own business are sure
to get into mischief

Perhaps you have heard the legend of
Saint Valentine, but if YOU have not,
here it is in as small nutshell as such
saint could be well condensed: Saint
Valentine lived long ago. An emperor
ruled him, and the emperor whose name
was Claudius, became very Jealous of
Saint Valentine, or Friar Valentine. as
he was then called. And one dav
Claudius cut Friar Valentines head off
and banished his remains. so that no.
body should know that he had been be-
headed.
Now why did Claudius do this?" YOU
ask. Well, he did this because Friar
Valentine was such great favorite with
the young people that Claudius was not
in their affection at all.

Y y x
The fourteenth Of February is a day
sacred to Saint Valentine. 1t was a
very odd notion, alluded to by Shake
speare, that on this day. birds begin to
couple; hence perhaps arose the custom
of sending on this date letters containing
confessions of love and affection.
The boys and girls look at the older
people and see what they do. They
watch the words of the fathers and the
mothers and the friends, and take their
cue very quickly. Even the little ones
are ever watchful to see just how closely
their father and Tother adhere to the

Your body is your best friend while
you inhabit it, therefore he sure and take
the best possible care of it. Only sim
pleton is ashamed of bestowing care on
it-of keeping teeth, hands. feet, hair,
and skin in the best possible condition.
1t takes but a little while. when the days
toll rs over to sit down before mirror
and bathe in warm water, neck, face and
hands, drying them with a soft towel and
rubbing every part thoroughly, including
teeth and nails. A touch of sweet cream
rubbed on where needed is very good.
One feels SO refreshed and respectable
after the operation that the habit when
formed, is hard to give over when cir
cumstances do not admit of it.
