By Judge Willis Brown

There were SO boys gathered
before me.
There were fifteen men.
These boys were of good homes,
we'll cared for and provided with
spending money by fathers and
mothers who could well afford to
supply their sons with a reason
able amount.
I endeavored to borrow 10 cen,s
from the boys.
Every boy wanted to loan me
the money.
Only two boys had money tn
their pockets.
Yet the average amount of
money each boy was given by his
parents every week, as the boys
themselves disclosed, was so
cents.
asked how many OF the men
present could loan me 81, and
every mans hand went into his
pocket and money jingled and
each one offered me the loan.
Each boy wished that he could
straightforth put his hand in his
pocket and secure a'10-cent piece.
The two boys who did this
were envied by the 4S who could
not.
Whose fault is this that boys
who have liberal parents are al
ways busted?
am afraid It Is up to you,
boys No one likes a stingy boy.
Every one uses q liberal boy.
Whether or not q boy who spends
about all the money he gets is
liked by others he never viii
know. The only way to find out
is to stop being SO very liberal
for q time and see how many
boys call you great.
Boys should spend money.

in the neighborhood.
Well, boys. that was the FIRST
step towards public speaking as

may be heralded from the press

Mrs. Mabel Bush, Of 1911 Thirty

Mrs. Mary McKernAn. who lives a.

clothes on the line and was wash

She saw the dirty water from tho
Bush porch trickling dangerously
near her clothes, and protested.
Some harsh words followed.
Il paid SO for you once before,
but this time I'll see that you meet

Bush is alleged TO have said TO Mrs.
McKerDan. The latter got a war-
rant-but waited two weeks TO
get IL.
Mrs. Bush admitted paying the SO
for disorderly conduct. but denied
making any threat to kill.
The two women have seen each

A Judge Bro,Dn Story Talk

But boySshould not be afraid
of money.
Money in your pocket-always
will not harm you.
Start right in now and hold all
the money you get until you can
jingle at least 81 in your pocket
all the time-then spend as you
have been doing, perhaps not
quite so much, but always have
money jingling in your pocket.
Just try it and with money in
your pocket on a hot day stand
outside of the ice cream parlor
and look in and Jingle your mon
ey and DON'T SPEND II.
But don't rush home and put it
in a savings bank because YOU
did not spend it HOLD 1t in
your pocket and find out how to
KEEP MONEY handy and Jingle
it. 1t makes you feel more COM
Portable.
Then when certain time
comes and you need a dime or
quarter or more for some special
thing. and you want it just awful
bad, why, you have II, jingling in
Sour pocket, just like your dad
does, and like every man and only
two boys did that day l asked for
a dime from so different boys.
Makes a boy feel better when
he don't have to run to mamma
or papa every time he wants to
use a special nickel or dime.
Don't spend ALL the money you
get.
Don't put away where you can
not get II ALL the money you
get.
Just keep some Of It JINGLING
in your pocket and teach your
self how to KEEP money.
Try II.
