a most unjust one and | feel conf

proved by everybody. No n in the
state, probably, is more anxious to
see the boys get SIS each than my
self, but the great trouble is a large

stated to me and others that 1t was
doubtful If the auditor could pay ii

sponsible for every cent OF TINS
amount. The legislature knew this
and many Of them were advised TO

taken on steady habits have no trou-
Bile in s%mothering the impulse to o

Is what urges so many boys to run
away each spring; TO leave with the
circus, to go to the big city or the
railroad track, TO never come back.
Spring fever recruits the ranks OF the
army Of tramps in this country and
is responsible for many failures.
SO, II you see signs of spring fever
In your boy. don't despise It, don't
ignore It, but seriously try to tide
it over and, as a remedy, here is the
recipe of a man who has charge of a
home where a great many boys from
the juvenile court stay. He says.
We find that each spring when the
weather warns up and the leaves
come out the boys begin to want TO
run away, and this Is how we cure
them: With the little boys. We take
them on a hike, about fifteen miles,
sleep out over night by a big roaring
campfire, and bring them back. And
the older boys we take forty or fifty
miles and stay two nights and bring
them back; then the fever to run
way is gone.
1t seems like a good plan for any
boy. Try it with your boy this
spring.

SPRING fever
IT IL DUE TO COME VERY SOON
NOW.

Kansas City Times: Spring fever
days will soon be here. You won't
find spring fever in the dictionary,
but nearly everyone knows what it
is; has experienced it, each year,
about the time the first pussy will
lows come out along the creek banks.
and the first curled violet leaves
push up through the matted head
grass in the fence corner, and the
first robin alights in the front yard,
looking at you c~uriously, turning his
head this way and that to see better.
Then it is that spring fever grips
you, a kind of restless feeling, a dis
satisfaction with the monotonous
dull gray humdrum round Of life, do
ing the same things over and over,
day after day, like a squirrel in its
wheel, working, working, working
until the wheel huns, but getting no
where.
Spring fever urges you to get
away from 1t all. As the sap mounts
upward i'm the trees and life stirs in
every bud, so your blood tingles for
new visions of life. Strange yearn-
ings to go somewhere, anywhere,
just to be travelling and loafing, to
lie On your back and watch the
clouds lazily drifting, to lounge along
the great white road, these things
come over you in almost overpower-
ing force. It's what the learned men
call an "atavistic" trait, that is, a
lingering of the savage in us yet, a
barking back to the gypsy days long
gone when the tribe did break camp
