purchasing the Tewksbury gallery and

tacitly accept it in more or less modlned

And while the men engaged in war die, the
diseased tendencies which war is based on may

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
BILLY WAS A BOOSTER

BILLY WAS A BOOSTER.
Billy Buster booster
And he boosted all the while;
Boosted all his friends and neighbors
In the very latest style;
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, too
Til you'd think that Boosting Billy
Had no other thing to do.
Yes, he boosted in his office
And he boosted on the street;
And the eats-house found him boosting
Every time he went to eat.
On the trolley car he boosted
For his neighbors, for the town.
And while boosting hard for others
He was boosted to renown
Though he boosted hard for others
Seldom did he boost for Bill;
Really didn't have the time to
And he didn't have the will
Said the city and the people
Needed boosting more than he;
And, perhaps, If you had known him,
With his statement you'd agree.
And the town? It kept on growing
AS. you know, they sometimes will;
And the people-who loved Billy
Gave the credit all to Bill.
And the smoke from many chimneys,
As it wound it's way on high,
Seemed to form the one word BILLY"
s. Near the soft cerulean sky.
While he boosted for the city
And the people with will,
{ IT'S not hard to see that everybody
Boosted hard for Bill.
Till he'd friends by many dozens,
BY the observation-disclosures
While all those in buying distance
Bought some goods at Billy's store.
But now Just suppose that there had
Been dozen Billies more;
Or still better just supposing
There had been an even score;
And il that is good then why should
Not hundred better be? .
Or a thousand, or ten thousand
If results you want to see?
Could not each and all be Billies
Like our Billy Buster here?
Everybody be a booster,
Every day throughout the year?
Everybody keep pounding
TIL the noise is heard afar?
Then stand by the citys portals
And just keep the gates ajar!

IOWA PREss COMMENT.

Burlington Hawk+Eye: Some anti

Spelling CHILDREN.


cation is severe in his criticism of parents, of
whom there seems to be legion in that city,
who manifest no discretion in the training of
their sons. The high schools are full, accord
ing to this official, of pampered boys who wear
wrist watches, think only Of society life, its
balls and pleasurings, and are carried to and
from their homes in limousines with iveried
chauffeurs at the wheel.
Only boys of exceptional qualities can sur
vive much Of this sort of thing, as myriads OF
parents have realized bitterly and too late.
Over indulgence spoils many a man and wom-
an in the making, who might if thrown en-
tirely on their own resources have made worthy
human products of themselves.
The fact is not generally realized, but it re-
|uuires the cooperation of two wise and loving
parents to train child up and bring out his
latent possibilities. Now and then an unusual
father and mother can do it, if the child is
somewhat above the average. But ordinarily
! if the father is too occupied with business or
away most of the time, or if the mother is too
busted with her woman's interests too
neglectful, or if either one Of them is defective
in head or heart, the vain and silly girl, the
selfish and vicious boy, the wild son or the way
ward daughter is the result. 1t is commonly
possible to estimate with some approach to ac-
Icuracv the mental and moral development and
discretion of parents by the appearance and
behavior of their children on the streets
