Here Is healthy boy OF twelve
What We most want Of him is that he
shall develop himself In character and
ability to the utmost extent Of which
he Is capable. II there Is a precious
little spark OF originality or germ OF
leadership anywhere about him, we
most want him to discover that and
develop 1t, for there Is never enough
leadership and originality In the world
We are always wanting inventors and

encc In art.
So we take this boy at half past
eight in the morning and stick him in
a hard seat. right behind hard desk,
and tell him he must not bulge II he
values his hide. He must not even
shuttle his feet or look about; he must
not whisper to the boy next him.
We give him certain carefully pre-
scrlbed books. none Of which interests
him very much, and tell him 1t makes
no difference II one OF them happens
to interest him more than another; he
must give exactly the same attention

BOY BLUE
sy ELIzAsIrH oRovEsrEIN.

When Jerry Stanton was a very lit
tie fellow he had been called Little
Boy Blue" by his fond parents. Now
the term as applied to him had big
ger and broader meaning, for the only
son Of the proud Mr.. Stanton was q
sailor boy In blue.
Indeed, Jerry was Lad to be proud
Of. one who would be able to do his
bit for Uncle Sam. But he had one
grievous fault which threatened to be
his downfall. Jerry was conceited.
very, very conceited. Why, II did not
seem to surprise him in the least when
he learned that the sweetest little girl
In the whole wide world had fallen In
love with him. However, the entire
blame should not be placed on Jerry's
shoulders. He was doubtless the spoil
ed pet OF an over-indulgent mother.
Now, to be sure, Louise Gray was
deeply In love with the handsome STAN
ton boy. but she knew he thought too
much Of himself, and II troubled her.
Time and again she would pucker up
her pretty lips, frown and try to think
Of some plan to make her lover see
himself as others saw him.
One warm and lovely summer eve
ming the sailor had come bounding up
the steps OF the Gray homestead. He
rang the bell. knocked at the door and
called "her" name. Useless No
sound reached his ear, and all was
darkness within. Slowly he retraced
his steps and began to walk around
the house. As he reached the side
porch he heard voices, and yes, he
recognized his sweetheart's ringing
laughter. With angry steps and beat
ing heart he drew nearer. His at
tempt to play eayesdropper was re-
warded when these words reached his
ears. TON, you're just dear and
love you" These few words. without
any doubt. gave Boy Blue the blues"
Jerry gave one last hopeless glance
at the porch above him and then made
his way toward the pond He thought
he would jump In. but plans for re-
venge caused him to turn around
Sharply and start for home. Just then
his foot stumbled over something.
Jerry fell to the earth with bang. a
pitiful little "mew" was heard, and
somewhere out Of the darkness came
the cry, TON. where ere your"
Then the lovers came face to face
and both seemed bewildered. Jerry
rubbed his head and Louise picked up
tho abused cat. At last Jerry was
humbled. He biurted out something
about being fool, and asked Louise
to please forgive him. BY the mis-
chievous twinkle in her eyes and the
roguish smile on her lips, she told him
all was well again.
And now the deserted kitten de-
handed attention. This time Jerry
took him, and as he did so he tauntlng-
ly quoted, TON, you're a dear and I
love you"
