“Where’s my hat?”
“Wlio’s seen my knife?”
“Who turned my coat wrong side out and
slung it under the lounge?”
There you go, my boy! When you came into
Die house last evening you flung your hat across
■ he room, jumped out of your shoes and kicked
'em right and left, wi iggled out of your coat and
gave it a toss, aud now you are annoyed iiecause
each article hasn't gathered itself into a chair
to tie ready for you when you dress iu the morn

Your collar Is dowu behind the bureau, one of
your socks on the foot of the bed, and your vest

kiiow.
Now, then, my way has always been the easi
est way. 1 had rather fling mv hat down than
to hang it up; I'd rather kick'my boots under
Die lounge than place ’em in tlie hall; I’d rather
run the risk of similiiig a newcoatlhuulochange
it. I own right up to being reckless «uid sloven
ly, but, ah I tue. haven't I had to pay for it ten
limes over! Now, set your foot right down and
determine to have order. It is a trait that cau
tie acquired. An orderly man can make two
suits of cJotbes last longer mid look belter than
t slovenly mmi cau do with four. He can save
in hour per day over tlie man who flings things
helter-skelter. He stands twice tlie show to get
situation aud keep it, aud five times the show
to couduct a business witli profit.
An orderly m.ui will lie an accurate min. If
lie is a carpeuter every joint will fit. If he is a
turner his goods will look neat. If he is a mer
chant his books will sliow neither blots nor er
rors. An orderly man is most always an eco-
miical man, mid always a prudent one. If you
should ask me how to become rich, I should an
swer: “Be orderly—be accurate.”
Now, about school. Niue boys out of ten look
upon school something iu the light of a juvenile
prison. Tliey are more tliau half right. Tlie
idea seems to lie to coiiimaud a boy to o|ieu his
mouth aud swallow as fast mol its much as lie
ui bite off, and many of the rules and regula-
ions are too captious to have come from sensi-
le men. But, hark you; ignorance means vice,
ime, degradation. Tlie man without educa-
iou must make his muscles earn him a dollar a
ly, where brains would earn him five. Tlie
more ignorant the man the mure naturally lie
