Don't Worry About
Your Children
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

II you have children under the age
Of fourteen or fifteen in the family
and they exhibit alarming symptoms,
either physical or moral, that give
promise of future disaster, don't wor-
ry They will probably outgrow it.
What a child is gives little indica-
ton of what sort of a man he will
become
Do you not know that Julius Caesar
was the runt of the family and that
all the boys at school picked on him
for a sissy?
And that Napoleon Bonaparte. when
he was IN kits. was so excessively
modest and shrinking that his mother
show off before company?
And that John Wesley was given
to saying bad words at the age of
seven?
And that George Washington, pre-
vious to the cherry tree incident, was
his father had to punish him almost
every day? tThis was the reason the
old gentleman made so much fuss
when he found that George wouldn't
lie about the cherry tree.)
And that both De Wolf Hopper and
Raymond Hitchcock. up to the age Of
ten. had no other thought than that Of
entering the ministry In the Presby-
terian Church? (Note that both Of
these gentlemen have never able to
get rid of their ministerial voices.)
And that John D. Rockefeller. in
lituJ spendthrift, and gave away
marbles and jack-knives with alarm
ing prodigality?
And that Einstein, up to the time he
was twelve, was never able to do an
example in long division, nor tell

And that neither Caruso nor Ger
aldine Farrar could carry the simplest
tune in their childhood days, and in
variably sulked and cried when they
had to take their music lessons?
And that Nat Goodwin, when he was
little boy. oh! such q very little boy.
just naturally hated girls, and abso-
lutely would not play with them at all :?
And that Douglas Fairbanks re-
fused to take any exercise, and was
always to be found hiding away in
some corner with book?
And that Mrs. Milo. the lady who
posed for the statue Of Venus de Milo,
was the homeliest little girl in town
up to the time she was fifteen years
old?
And that Judge Gary. at the age of
ten, had no other dream than that of
being labor agitator and strike
leader?
And that William j. Bryan was re-
markably taciturn and could hardly
ever be induced to express an opin-
ion upon anything?
And that Dean Inge was the most
laughing and mischievous boy in
school, while everybody thought that
young w. S. Gilbert would certainly
grow up to be a bishop because he
was so sober?
Do not misunderstood me. I am
not stating all these things as facts.
am ak ing Won whether yOu know
they are facts or not. If you do know
them to be facts you know more than
do.
But the point Is that they all might
very well have been facts.
And what 1t all goes to prove Is
never can tell.
