The subject was suggested to the
■writer a few days apo while on the
picnic trip to Helen, while seeing a
crowd of bright boys and pretty girls,
with shouts and laughter, climbing
the steep mountain sides and having
a hilarious time. Some time ago 1
read an article on the subject from
the trenchant and powerful pen
of I it. J.B. Cambrel!, of Texas.
This period comes into the life of
every hoy and you can usually tell
when he lx gins the steep ascent by
the putting out of a slight fuzz on his
upper lip and the attempt on the
part of his voice to change from a
shrill tenor to a deep, coarse, heavy
bass. The shoulders are thrown back
and he walks with the would-be swag
ger of a military conquerer.
It Is the time when the will begins
to assert itself for the first time and
the poor, deluded lad thinks that he
knows infinitely more than his father
even dreamed of knowing.
Tills age is peculiar to boys. They
all have to pass through it and each
one must climb “Fool’s Hill ' and
see the sights and enjoy the expe
riences for himself as he passes alon
Tne experience of someone else lias
no more effect on him than eating of
good, rich food by another party
would have on his body.
l watched the boys climb tie*
mountains beside the girls chewing
gum and laughing and looking at the
girls slyly and timidly. They would
burst into fits of uncontrollable
laughter over a thing not at all fun
ny. in Byron phaselology it was a
time
“When laughing eyes looked love
To eyi'S that answered bark again.”
This la a critical stage in the lad’s
career. Like a Texas steer you must
give him plenty of rope and not to<
much else in* will fling himself and
injure his career awfully.
Like the famous pugullst, lie walks
around everywhere with the proverb
ial chip on his shoulder and dares an
one to knock it off. He can give the
doctors much free advice as to how
patients must lie treated. He can In
cidentally tell an ordinary banker ex
actly how to run tin* finances of our
great business corporations. He
knows more than the preacher does
about theology and lit 1 could furnish
a few pointers to the teachers ot our
high schools and colleges.
He feels when he first shaves that
the razor that does the job should be
preserved in tne National Aluseuru uu
a relic of the days when one of our
“eminent citizens” first performed a
hiresute operation.
It is as natural for him to have
the “big head” as it is for a cow to
low when separated from her calf, or
for a pig to grunt when hungry for
corn.
Really at this fiarticular period he
is small potatoes, few in a hill and
far between, but he is utterly uncon
scious of what others may think or
say of him and is absolutely absorbed
in himself.
Ny undertaking is too great for
him. He rushes in madly and heart
lessly where angels fear to tread.
His parents are worried about him
when he is climbing this famous
hill. He is the positive terror of his
neighbors. Hvery dog instinctively
flees at his approach and a cat will
scoot when it hears his squeaky
voice in tin* alley or side street.
Like a persimmon h > is puckerish
and sour, but age, like frost, will
temper him down and take off the
roughness and he will, if properly
handled, make a citizen like Lee, a
Washington, a Lincoln, a Watson. He
is greatness and goodness, or small
ness and evil in embryo and the fin
ished product is largely a matter of
speculation. Gambrell says: “What
shall we do with him.' If he is turn
ed loose now he will be ilke a wild
engine on tin* track smashing things;
if he is not handled wisely there will
be a catastrophe. Often the impulse
is to let the fool go. Hut that will
not do. We must save him.. Saints
and angels help us to save this hu
man ship in the storm, freighted with
father's, mother's, brother's, sister’s
love and with the infinite wealth of
immortal nature. We must save him
for himself, his loved ones and his
country. He is an unturned cake, but
Climbing Fools’ Hill
(By Rev. W. H. Faust)
likely there is a good substance in
him. He is worth cooking. If you
see him on the street, take him by
the hand and say a good word to
him. His mother will be of it.
Two worlds are interested in that
young fool, and underneath his folly
there lies sleeping, maybe, a great
preacher, teacher or other dignitary
of the commonwealth.”
lie is a problem, but after ail he is
what men are made of. I love him he
cause 1 am kin to him and have ex
perienced all he is passing through.
Tho a preacher my hand is always
on his shoulder in a friendly sort of
way, for his own sake, for his par
ents’ sake, for the world’s sake and
for Christ’s sake. J love him for his
potentialities and when he reaches
tne top and comes to himself he will
he the manly efficient man that we
all expect and hope and pray for him
under God to he.

DARIUS
The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia', the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with prolit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse, the
bark of a dog or the bray of a donkey,
it would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry un
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and
by a clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys of civilization.
Card of Thanks.
Mr. Editor: —Permit us through

First Baptist Church.
By special request the pastor will
preach Sunday on a “Father’s Day”
subject, “God’s Call for Men.” With
out two essentials the world could
not get along—fathers and mothers.
The only command with a promise is
based on one’s relation to parents.
Stephen Butterfield has writtenq a
poem entitled "Poor Old Dad” which
gives food for thought, and we give
in part:
“You can scarce pick up a paper,
An’ its “poet's corner” greet,
’Cept you’ll see a pretty poem
’Bout the mother saintly sweet;
But you’ll have a time a searching,
Eyes will be aching bad,
Ere you'll overtake a poem
At this time for “Poor Old Dad.”
“No, it is't wilful in ’em.
Them that writes oi' mother dear,
That others never notice taken
Of her old man sittin’ near,
No, its never meant to slight him
But it looks a little sad,
All the bouquets made for mothers
Not a flower for “Poor Old Dad.”
“Do not take one line from mother
When you write the same sweet
song.
But it' there’s a word for father,
Now and then it won’t be wrong.
Poor old soul; he’s bent and wrinkled
An’ 1 know ’twould make him glad,
If, while you’re praising mother
Something’s said for “Poor Old
Dad.”
There's a difference between some
thing that wears pants and a man
between a bachelor and a father. The
.i.st man wasn’t complete until he
was the head of a family. No man
of this day is the man who is most
profoundly interested in the future is
the one who has children to live in
that future.
