VOICES OF YOUTH
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.
In speaking of a person’s faults,
Pray don’t forget your own;
Remember those in houses glass
Should never throw a stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
’Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he’s fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults —and who has
not?
The old as well as young;
We may, perhaps, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I’ll tell you of a better plan,
And find it works full well:
To try my own defects to cure
Ere I of others tell.
And though I sometimes hope to be
No worse than some I know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word will do
To those we little know;
And know that yet the greatest harm
Must come to us alone.
Don’t speak of others’ faults until
We have none of our own.

HUlttb Our Correspondents
OUR DEBATE.
My Dear Y r oung People: Now I am
going to see how many interesting
and original ideas my boys and girls
are capable of. Brother Willie wants
to see you “get busy” and win one
of the two prizes he is going to offer.
Here are the conditions: lam giv
ing you this week the names of the
debaters selected, as Bartlett suggest
ed, partly from our members of last
year. We want to give them tw?
weeks in which to let us know’ if they
can serve, and give us time tc get
others if they can’t.
During this time, to that boy or
girl who is a regular contributor to
our department, or will become one,
I offer a first and second prize for the
best and next best subject for debate.
We want something new, sti iking,
and of especial interest to the young
aspiring life, something the thought
and study of which will bring real
good into the hearts and lives of both
writer and reader!
On the negative side I appoint Bart
lett Kelly, Julia Lane, of Mississippi,
and Perry T. Taylor.
On the affirmative, Julia Lane, of
Helena, Ga., “Martha Still,” and
“Farmer Boy.”
I want each of the debaters to let
me know at once if they can serve.
I hope there is nothing to prevent. Re
member vou are just as much entitled
to a trial for the prize for the best
subject for your debate as the other
members, so put on your thinking
cap.
These are fine letters this week, and
I want to tell you young people that I
am hearing lots of nice things said
about you of late, and they are mak
ing me proud of you. It does my heart
good.
Let me give you this little thought,
many of the best journalists and the
brightest literary people of today be
gan their work, went to school as it
The Golden Age for May 28, 1908.
Conducted by the Editor
were, in the young people’s depart
ment of some good paper.
I am expecting great things of my
continually growing band.
Yours,
BROTHER WILLIE.

A NEW MEMBER.
Dear Brother Willie: I have been
reading the letters of the young peo
ple in The Golden Age. They were
all very nice. I would like to join
them. I am only a little country girl,
and think it would improve my mird
very much. I am ten years of age.
My aunt is taking The Golden Age,
and I have been reading it only a
few days. There are so many pretty
pieces in The Golden Age, and they
will be so much more interesting if I
Join them. Yours friend,
ALLINE McGRAW.
Van Vleet, Miss.
I?
GLAD TO WELCOME ANOTHER.
Dear Editor and Cousins: Here
comes a new member, wanting to
join your happy band. May I?
I have been a silent reader from
the very beginning of The Golden Age,
and enjoy the cousins’ letters very,
very much.
When the paper conies I always
look for Voices of Youth first. Some
times, however, I nave been disap
pointed, for all the cousins are not
as faithful as Bartlett Kelly and often
times our page has been without a
letter from its members.
What has become of all the cousins?
They seem to have gone, never again
to return. Please, please The Boy,
who cast his first vote against whis
key (I have forgotten his name, but
remember him just the same), Pansy,
Blue Eyes, Sister Annie, and all the
rest, write again.
I shall not write on any subject
this time, but will come again, if all
that merry host that used to be will
let us hear from them. Now, please
do write again, every one of you.
t CHRISTINE.
P. S. —Raymond Kelly, I liked your
letter so much and you wanted some
one your age to write. There is just a
few years’ difference in our ages. I
shall not say how much.
HOW THE RUSSELLS SPENT
THEIR VACATION.
Father and Mother Russell decided
that the children’s vacation should be
spent in S , an old city by the sea,
where they had formerly resided.
This morning Mr. Russell, accompa
nied by the girls and boys, took a
Texas
Tne Great PANHANDLS of Texas is astonishing the world in pro
ductiveness. What was once called the “American Desert” is now
called the “GARDEN SPOT OF THE SOUTHWEST.” Two or three
years ago this country was practically unknown. Today all eyes are
centered this way, especially on LUBBOCK. TEXAS. Lubbock is in
the center of this great country. Our geographical situation, with five
railroads chartered, two of which are already under construction, prom
ises great things for Lubbock, I have platted what is known as the
Overton Addition. It is already spotted with nice residences. I am of
fering 200 lots at SSO each; sllO cash, balance $5 per month, without
interest. This is the chance of a life-time to make a little investment
that promises big returns in a short time.

walk to the High School. Amy was
so delighted when she saw the elms,
sycamores, oaks, and other trees. She
remembered when they had planted
them on arbor day in the school yard
two years ago. Now they were beau
tiful and vigorous, and made growing
attractions around the school house.
She well remembered arbor day.
First the preparation of the ground,
the planting of the trees, the recita
tions from a number of the girls, and
songs; and then the delicious lunch
on the lawn, with their school friends
and teachers. And Amy’s heart now
seemed ail aglow with these pleasur
able memories.
Uncle Emory took them into the
building. The graduating exercises
were in progress. It was an impor
tant day, for the class of ’94 were soon
to begin a new life, as it were. Brown
ing Hall was beautifully decorated for
the occasion with a mass of flowers
and palms. A large easel on the plat
form bore a floral design of the fig
ures ’94. The Seniors occupied seats
marked off by a rope of daisies. The
class orator had chosen for her sub
ject the class motto, “Aide toi, et le
Ciel ’aidera” —“Help yourself, and
Heaven will help you.” And most
forcibly did she impress on her audi
ence that unless aided by a Higher
Power our lives will be unsuccessful
and lived in vain.
The Russells were delighted with
the class prophet, who, as she unfold
ed what the dim future had in store
for them, advanced and presented each
sister graduate a rosebud plucked from
the floral design of ’94. Many of the
children’s hearts were filled with wish
es and desires while they listened, and
if these wishes were realized they will
produce • for them no barren harvest,
but one full of ripe and luscious fruits.
The next few days the girls and
boys spent at home. Uncle Emory
was determined that discontent and
“ennui” should not enter their ranks,
for he had brought along games, books,
and fishing implements; and he prom
ised if the following day was pretty
he would carry us in his boat over to
the island .for a fishing frolic.
The Russels had brought along with
them a little colored boy, Job David,
who had been living with the family
for quite a number of years. His his
tory was a patnetic one. One morn
ing in the early dawn, as Mr. Russell
was proceeding on nis way to town,
he saw the black head of this little
boy poking up out of a large trash
barrel on the sidewalk. He could only
tell that his mother was dead and his
father was a drunkard and drove him
off from home, and his sole sleeping
place was this barrel. He begged Mr.
Russell to take him home with him,
which he did. He told us that nis
name was Job David. All of his folks,
he said, had “scripter” names. He
said he once had a little sister named
