BELIEVE IN THEN

Have We any boys IN JVlesbura
xho seem TO dislike work-regulal
labor
There's but We won't mention
any names. What We started TO talk
about was this: We have lots OF
young fellows here in our town, who
utterly despise anything that savors
Of work-that is real menual labor
But, if you will keep your eye on
one Of those boys you may observe
that he likes 70 DO some particular
thing more than anything else. II
may be that he has = hobby of draw
ing grotesque and meaningless pic
lures, caricatures Of the teacher or
soldiers in uniform. Did you ever
realize that he may be an embryo
cartoonist! Possible isn't it!
II that boy happens TO be yours,
don't fidicule or scold him. Oh, of
course, you will insist that he get his
lessons. But let him play At his hob
by whether it be motors or pictures
or any of the innumerable what-nots.
Daniel Webster hated mathematics
but he loved law and he became .
great orator and statesman. Horace
Greeley loved TO resd and became 4
printer 70 be could make books. Edi-
son-oh, just 90 down through the
Hall of Fame and pick them out for
yourself. Every man who has been q
success has had hobby-and has
nurtured it.
His work is his play. This is not
intended TO encourage our boys to ne.
glect their studies. But we'd like to
see the fathers and the mothers Of
Julesburg study their sons and find
where the boys brains are going to
fit. And abovs all, believe in him
and LET HIM KNOW 1T!

other little courtesies that young men
once showed to the dainty little miss
es who wore their hair in plaits down
their backs!
Can You not see the big lacey mis-
sive with its cupids and hearts that
hung in the window Of the old apoth-
ecary's shop! How you wanted it for
HER the moment you saw it, and
how you saved up your pennies until
you had enough to buy it. You ad.
dressed it to her, printing her name
in scrawling letters on the envelope
and then, for fear your effort to make
her doubt the sender might really b<
successful, you put your initials il
the corner of the valentine itself
Valentines Day was day of real ex
citement when you were a kid, bu
along with the other wonderful inter
walls Of childhood it has gone and 70,

or course they do. but somehow
the valentines are different If yo,
don't believe it, just look at them il
the stores in Julesburg. They ar
cold, cardboard affairs that stand VI
and smirk at you with no sentimen

geous. lacey filmy things that too

really causes a thrill is a crisp ne,

THE POOR PREACHER
The preacher has a hard time.

The preacher has hard time.
II his hair is gray. he is old. II
he is young man. he hasn't had the
experience. If he has ten children he
has too many II he has none, he
should have, and isn't setting good
example. If his wife sings in the
choir, she is presuming. If she does
not, she isn't interested in her hus-
bands work If he reads from notes,
he is bore. If he speaks extempor-
aneously, he isn't deep enough. If he
calls on some very poor family, he is
playing to the grand stand. II he
calls at the home of the rich, he is an
aristocrat.
Whatever he does, someone could
have told him how to do it better. He
has fine time living off donation,
which never come in. and on prom.
ises that never mature.
