A BOY NEEDS
DISCIPLINE.
Boys Much Like Colts, Says the Old
Philosophical You Don't Teach
Them to Mind, Look

A town philosopher, who has been
watching the various small crimes
and misdemeanors of boys here of late,
said to the reporter:
"a boy is a great deal like colt.
If you take a colt when he is few
weeks old and begin to discipline
him. break him to the halter and 9TH
erwise teach him his place, follow this
UP until the animal is grown, and you
will have a gopd and useful horse.
On the other hand if you let the colt
have his own way on the start and al
low him to go it wild until he is a
three-year- and you sure will have
a job on your hands when you attepmt
to break him.
A boy needs to know who is master,
and parents who don't use the proper
amount Of discipline on their boys
when small may expect to see them
going to the bad At least they take
big chance"

THE rule to be observed

Men must be patient. Cat

beings. Remember this barn
