THE HEART OF
 A WORKING MAN

My mind to me Q Kingdom is,
 Such perfect joy therein I find
 AS far exceeds all earthly bliss
 That God or nature has assigned. Though much I want that most would
 have,
 Yet still my mind forbids to crave.''
 It has been said, and with truth, that the youth who tolls mid poverty for his daily bread is indeed the salt of the earth. There never was greater mistake than to imagine that young workingmen are unhappy be- cause of their lack of wealth Quite the opposite is the case They have not been pushed into an occupation that their heart is not in. On the con- trary, they have drifted toward the employment which appealed mostly to them.
 Their heart is in thei~ labor. There is a song on their lips all day as they toll the hours away. They eat and sleep well. They are seldom or never be known as steady as well as capable workmen if they would hold their jobs Most of them formulate careful plans regarding their future.
 They are as certain to fall in love as the average man. But they weigh utmost care. They have wonderful ambitions, too, these young workmen who pass you by carrying their tools under their arms. There is always one out of every dozen of young working men who forms the secret resolve to be the owner of just such a shop or factory as the one in which he is em- ployed.
 There's all the difference in the world between the young workmen who work side by side. Ambition is the distinguishing feature. The ener-

 In casting about for sweetheart he shows his good sense by stubborn1y refusing to allow himself to fall in love with the girl who makes eyes at him when he4is dressed up of a Sun day. No giddy hirt or coquette for him nor painted-faced doll Sense goes ahead of beauty with him. He chooses a sweet, modest girl
 He begins paying court to her not in frivolous, w1irIwind fashion; but after the proper method of calling upon her of an evening, inviting her out occasionally to a place of arnuse- ment. Unlike some rich, foolish young man with more wealth than brains, he does not wear his heart on his sleeve He speaks no word of affection, offers her no caress, until he has fully made up his mind that she's the one girl in the world to make him happy.

BOY Jox-RmERs
 ON THE RAILROADS.

A railroad man was saying the oth- CT day that it Is becoming a favoT1te trick with boys to steal long railroad trips by passenger trains. Parties Of boys will set out to see the world and travel on the tops of cars, or se- crete themselves on the trucks. The story is told that one day a. few boys got SO caught on a truck that a train had to be uncoupIed to release them
 This kind of thing is one of many modern instances of loose family dis cipline. To a rowing and restless type of boy there is something very fascinating about railroad life. He hangs around stations when he should be running erra1dg for his mother
 Some day he tries his expertness

 TODAY'S POEM
THE OLD LOVE SONG.
.~~~~r

Play it slowly, sing it Iowly.
 Old familiar tune! Once it ran in dance and dimple, Like brook in June;- Now it sobs along the measures
 With a sound of tears; Dear old voices echo through it,
 Vanished. with the years. Play it slowly-it is holy
 As an evening hymn; Morning gladness hushed to sadness Fills it to the brim- Memories come within the music,
 Stealing through the bars; Thoughts within it's quiet spaces
 Rise and set like stars. Ripple, ripple. goes the love song
 Till, in slowingly time, Early sweetness grown completeness Floods it's every rhyme; Who together learn the music
 Life and death unfold Know that love is but beginning
 Until love is old. Singing, singing through the roses
 Went our lovers twain Was there ever such a rose time,
 Could there be again? Now they tell us t.Five-and-
 -Junes we've seen them blow; Every June's completer. sweeter-
 We'll we lovers know!"

SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Many colleges and schools have read with envy the past week the f. nancial report of sports >at Harvard university. With total receipts of over $16O,000, and from football alone of $12O,449, great possi bi1ities of use- full athletic work are offered.
 In the ordinary small college and technical and high school, it is not easy always to support even one team to represent the school If the boys are winners, the money comes easy. But it takes a game and loyal backing work harder than their conquerors.. Unsuccessful athletes find cold looks and silent and thin assemblages of spectators It takes a lot of money to run athletics. There is no end of costly supplies, rai1road' fares, ho- tel bills. Of late years the expense for coaches has become very large. They may cost more than a cores bonding number of professors.
 There should be a. place on some team for every student anxious to enter sport Still more, the boys not thus ambitious need athletics even more. It would do a world of good to some bookworns and loafers to be required to play on some minor team
 It becomes therefore in many schools big problem how to provide enough gymnasium and track. facili- ties, tennis courts, ball fields, supplies, etc, so that the general student body can become athletic. More equip ment for the average student, and relatively less for the selected few of the single team, is the real need. But this runs counter to the habits of the times
 Sporting competitions drew students into the open air and worIi off super huous activity that is capable of mis- chief. The best results are not usu- ally gained by those who make the big teams. Their mental growth may suffer from severe training But the average fellow, led by g. good physical equipment to take up sport informally is apt to get life long re- 1 suits .of better EhYsical efficiencX.

Blue Is essentially spring color and 1t is more fashionable than ever this year. This tailored costume is carried out in fine mems wear serge. Today's dressmaking lesson features the jacket, which is made with a yoke and trimmed with straps, which may be omitted, if desired As the collar is convertible, the front of the coat may be buttoned high or rolled back to form revers. In me dfum size the dress requires 5A yards 54-inch material. If made sep arately, the coat calls for 25s yards of serge.
 As this is a model that win be used for pongee. taffeta, faiIIe and other fashionable fabrics this season, it is well to study well the method of cut ting it. Notice how the back of the coat and back of the yoke are laid on the 1engthwise fold. Opposite these sections, in the direction of the selvage edge, are placed the front. front of the yoke and lower sleeve sections. Continuing along the upper row are the pocket and cuffs laid on a lengthwise thread. In the center are pocket and skirt sec ton, while on the bottom row are the under-facing and belt.
 If the coat is desired without straps cut of the straps as indicated by small "o' perforations. If desired with strap in belt only cut off the lower rounGed end of strap on small ''o'' perforations.
 Trimmed with inlaid collar and cuffs of failIe or white cloth this jac- ket is as smart model as has been shown this season.
