Live a Clean Life.

How often you will hear some
wayward girl or boy say;
Its nobody's business but mine,
how | want to live my life. guess
I'm old enough to know what |
want to do. Nobody is going to
dictate to me. either. seer'
But right there they are wrong.
No one can live his own life.
Whether you live good life or
a bad life, it's bound to have an
effect on somebody else.
You are either throwing sunshine
or casting a shadow upon the path
of existance for somebody else. No
matter how you figure, it always
will add up the same.
Each life has an influence upon
those around it. be they relatives
or strangers.
Whether you are Your brothers
keeper or not, you often are your
fellowman's example. even without
knowing.
So it is important to someone
how you live your life.
Of course you can't tell some
folks anything. The girl who tells
her mother she's coming down
town to meet some of the girls
and meets man instead. commits
an indiscretion and beats it home
early. and laughs because she has
deceived her mother she will weep
someday instead of laugh.
While she is deceiving her
mother she is sacrificing herself
The boy who boasts because he
can come home drunk and sneak
past his mother without her dis
covering it, may be fooline his poor
indulgent parent, but he is not
fooline himself. Some day he'll
find it wasn't the joke he thought
it was.

Perhaps you will yet change
your mind about him."

merchant. but | do not think so"
Three days later the business man
said to his wife: About that boy
you remember mentioned two or
three days ago. Well he is the best
boy Who ever entered the store"
How did you find that out9"
In the easiest way in the world
The first morning after the boy be-
gan to work he performed very
faithfully and systematically the
exact duties assigned to him which
he had been so careful to have ex-
planned to him. When he had fin
ished. he came to me and said: Mr..
- | have finished all the work.
Now. what can | do?'
Il was a little surprised. but |
gave him little job of work and
forgot all about him until he came
into my room with the question:

all the mysterious majesty of the East.
night led out her shining myriads from
the darkness into the waiting solitudes.
Only the sentinel OF the hour stood out
as something living, a tall rigid shadow
magnified by the silver ghostly light Of
the stars.
The sentry had turned and became
suddenly an immense shadow. The
shadow bent over him and whispered:

pain; now he knew it had been there

muscles, frightful crushing weight.
