Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

Sing song! merry 90 round,
Here we go up TO the moon, on!
Little Johnnieaa penny has found
And 80 well sing a tune, oh!''
THE little boy looked up at Puss
Junior who sat astride of
= Goosey GaRder.. did you see
me pick up the penny" he asked
Il hope IL isn't yours?'
No, it's not mine" replied Puss
with a grin.
What shall I buy"
johnnie did cry,
With the penny I've found
So bright and round7"
What shall we tell him?' Whis-
pered Puss to Goosey Gander, and
then, would you believe II, Goosey
Gander began to recite his answer
in rhyme, and this is what that
goosey bird said:
what shall you buy?"
A kite that will ny
Up to the moon. ali through the skyl
But when II gets there
1t should stay in the air,
Or the Man in the Noon
Should open the door
And take IL in with his long, long paw,
We would sing to another tune, ohH'
Well, just then, along came man
with kites for sale, and the little
boy bought a beautiful one. and
pretty soon 1t was up in the air for
over a mile, 1 guess, for it looked
as small as a star.
And then the wind began to blow
harder and harder and the first
thing you know, up went the little
boy in the air, for he was such
brave little boy that he wouldn't
let go of the string, and, of course
when he got up very high, he was
afraid to. Then his mother came
running out of the house, crying
bitterly, for she thought her little
boy was gone forever.
'I'Il bring him back" cried Puss
Junior, and away he few on the
Gander up in the air after the kite.
And Goosey Gander had to use all
his strength. too. to catch up with
the little boz, and IL the Camden
hadn't spread out his tail for a
sail, I doubt whether he ever would
have come up TO the kite at all
Well, at last Puss Junior caught
hold of the string and then he tied
il lightly to the Gander's left leg.
'Now, Goosey Camden" he said,
drop; just let yourself drop. and
well pull down the kite" And then
he called out to the little boy to be
sure not to let go, and by and by
they came down to the ground.
And il the little boys mother
hadn't tied the string to a big
strong tree the kite might have
gone up I'm the air again. for all
know. with Goosey Gander, for the
string was still tied to his left leg
when the little boy let go.

and an authority on the training
OF the child.
r GAPING is a lazy obsession for
men and a dangerous pastime
- for boys.
Be assured that whenever your
boy is Ioahng he is losing his grip
on himself and is drifting toward
the hobo type Of character.
Not all the hoboes are out on the
road tramping. Many Of them hang
working ENTHUSIASTICALLY, idling a
great deal and living chiefly on some
one eIse's money or effort.
Teach your boy earlyNto despise
both idIeness and the idler. For
example, a tweIve-year-old con-
ducts a sort of cracker-box news
stand on a certain corner. evenings
after school Four other boys also
spend their evenings there chiefly,
doing nothing but hanging around.
These four are young loafers and
will easily drift into chronic idle
ness.
one of two characteristics should
mark your boy during every hour
of the twenty-four-he should be
either wide awake or sound asleep.
I,oafnR fits into neither of these.
Work hard, play hard, study hard,
sleep hard-these are the four great
Juvenile exercises and each Of them
NAV be made a sort of antidote for
the others, a real tonic.
REORGANIZATION and dilatoriness
s-e akin to Ioafing. Train your boy
70 the delightful habit of living
rhythmicaIly-tO breakfast on time,
70 school on time, to play on time,
10 work on time, to bed on time.
He will thus get the maximum OF
good out OF every hour of the day.
Explain to your child the purpose
ef sIeep-that it's natures way OF
giving rest and relaxation to the
body: that il is largely a period of
elimination of poisonous waste
products so that mind and muscle
NAV be ready for renewed activity.
Too many children look upon going
TO he'd at night as a sort of IN
necessary punishment.
Also, teach your child to play
with a purpose, and show him how
20 put his energy into the games.
On many an occasion when bows
are given credit for playing they
are really loahng. Sitting about
in groups. exchanging daredevil
stories Of personal escapades. smok-
ing cigarettes-these are some Of
the practices OF the young amateur
loafer.
The difference between the 95 per
cent man and the 55 per cent man
is clearly indicated by this discus
sion. Keep your boy in fresh. Wig
Orous physical condition through
right habits Of living; keep him
mentally alert, aggressive and pur-
posive in all his normal exercises.
keyed up TO the point OF attack for
every reasonable task-and you will
most likely place him in due course
Of time in the 95 per cent class.
Or let him drift TO bed, drag to
school, droop at his play. drone at
hts work. and he may become at
length a member of the class OF the
shiftless IS per cent.
These two classes usually start
together, but they wind up far
apart. Parents. the destiny Of yorr
boy is largely in your hands. Be
gin early to direct IL over the
higher course
