If all the half smoked eigyrs and ci

living wouldn’t, hit the south so hard.
People who are just crazy about
dancing usually would rather dance
with some other person tban dance
with their wives. Wonder why.
Speaking of tact. The fellow who

like the taste of wood.
In these days of the high price of
shoes one wonders if the squeak lias

the shoe bill.
When a man marries feeling that his
wife lias no marital rights lie soon
discovers that all the rights belong to

Some women dread growing fat

When hoys cease to enjoy throwing
stones at eats, when frogs no longer
like to holler on the edges of ponds,
then old maids will cease to want
to stand at the marriage altar with

INNOCENT PLEASURE.
People should be guarded against
temptation to unlawful pleasures by
furnishing them the means of inno

must be pleasures, relaxations and
means of agreeable excitement; and if

PLACE FOR BOYS. j
'
We plead guilty to being a hit old
fashioned in some of our views relative
to the training of boys. All men know
the natural tendency of youth runs to
activity and restlessness and when a
lad starts growing up the "gang de
sire" takes hold of hint and he is
mightily inclined to want to gather on
the streets with boon companions and
get into all sorts of scrapes, and nat
urally the hoys follow In the footsteps
of their fa fliers and are more easily
Induced to wrong than to do right. %
Knowing this the man who thinks
realizes that it is a deleterious thing
for his boy to he faund idly gathering
with others on the streets and in the
hack alleys. Therefore, he should
keep ids boy at his work, or at home.
You would hardly be warranted in
looking for the successful citizen of
tomorrow around in a dark alley where
.'toys gather to smoke cigarettes, use
profane language, tell smutty jokes
mmi are left generally to their own
wav of doing things.
Idleness and loafing, nothing to do
Vvith the mind running riot is not good
for grown ups. and is exceedingly dele
terious for hoys.
England's old Curfew law which de
manded that children be kept off the
street at nights was a good one. Lift'
is too short, opportunity is too pre
cious for boys to fling away carelessly
loafing on the streets.
Work, study, self-improvement and
not fun and frolic should tie the ex
alted aim of nil who want to he the
leading citizens of the morrow. This
may sound platitnninous and old-fash
ioned, hut the boys and parents who
net upon it will not live to regret this
little bit of preachment.
A Good Medicine for the Grip.
George W. Waitt, South Gardiner,
Me., relates his experience with the
grip. "I had the worst cough, cold and
grip and had taken a lot of trash of
no account. Chamberlain's Cough
'Remedy is the only tiling that has done
me any good whatever. I have used
one bottle of it and the cold and grip
have left me.”

trains again for the coveted sightseeing
