Not long ago ] was visiting a youn z
mother whose sturdy siN-year-Old son
completely won my heart by his many
manly qualities. The little fellow and
were much together during my short
stay and we became great chums. An
engagement had been made for him
with the dentist. as one OF his baby
teeth needed filling, but when the time
arrived his mother was i'll in bed with
a binding headache, so ] offered to
accompany him to the dentists office.
His mother gratefully accepted the
proffer of my services and my small
friend was quite willing to have me as
a substitute. -. ~
When he was in the chair l pulled
off my gloves and made. ready TO hold
the little hands or do anything that
might be needed TO soothe him in hts
pain, because il developed that the
tooth, a molar. was badly decayed and
would need careful doctOring TO pre-
serve it until the second teeth were
ready to come in. To my surprise, no
comforting was required The tiny
hands gripped the arms of the chair.
and the little body stiffened when the
probe went deep, but though the
moisture on his forehead showed that
Bobbie was suffering, an occasional
faint moan was the only sound he
uttered. When it was over and he had
climbed down out of the big chair. he
said to the dentist quite soberly,
that hurt pretty bad sometimes, sir"
But you bore it like a hero. Bob

smiled and nodded.
We'll, muvver says gentleman

his explanation as Bobbie held the
door of the office open for me to pass.
like the true little gentleman he had
proved himself to be.
l talking the incident over with the
mother afterward and pralsing Bobbie
for his noble endurance of the pain that
must have been eXcrucisting, she said,
Yes, he is quite fine about that. He
learned the lesson very early that a
gentleman shouldn't squeal,' as he inter
prets the teaching"
How did you teach him, thought 1
queried II think it is remarkable that
so young a child bears pain with such
fortitude. Most of the children l have
known hitherto make the widest kind Of

I am sure Bobbie has a long start ahead
in the race of life"
That is just why l began when he
was very small to teach him self-con-

planned. when he was learned to
walk I never ran to pick him up after
a fall. So many mothers make
fuss over a child when it falls that
IT is frightened half out of its wits
and screams over every little bump
until you cannot tell whether it is
really hurt or not. I used to call out
to him cheerfully: Ho, there! Boobies
upset his apple cart again. hasn't he?
Jump, up, little man. and try it again"
He soon began to think it was a joke
to fall, and that very fact gave him
self-confdence so that he really never
did get a serious bump. People who
