W. 11. Faust.) A growing boy always stays him grv. Labor is never satisfied willi salary'; capital is never content with it’s acquisition; the farmer always wants bigger crops and higher prices; the consumer al ways wants more goods and cheap er prices. Even a preacher with all the worldly wealth, both of THIS? and the next, wants . 1 want in campaign years all the numerous candidates for office to shake hands with me cordially Sand seriously urge me to use all jmy vast influence to put them in to office. I want to be strong of body in order that through a herculean physical organism currents of vi tal energy may go out to bless and brighten the whole world about me. I want little children to smile upon me and feel that in propor tion to my ability they have no better friend in all the world. I want the privilege of voting for the best man in any contest without having to wound all the good timn who are aspiring to the 'same position. 1 want to wear the kind (>7 Mot lies that are comfortable and uedium priced so that I’ll not bo nista.lv<mi for a butler or a chauf feur or a hell hoy or a street preacher by real men and worn- n. I want to be* optimistic even when there seems not a ray of star light in the darkness about me, through that, others may be glad when I ’ni about. I want always to remember to try and smile and talk about pl< as cot tilings lather than bore my friends by talking about my sick ness and the disappointments of life. I want my friends who really appreciate me to tell me about it. while alive, it, will not turn me in to a raving egotist. The flowers and praise now, and only a simple hunch of (lowers on the casket. I want people to understand that a man who speaks practiealy dai lyand writes columns each week is liable to say sgometliing wrong, and at the same time stay by the good and pass my imperfections by. I want my family to feel that if in my relations to them I blunder, it. is a mistake of the head and not of t he heart. I want every struggling boy and girl who wants an education to feel that they have in me a pro found sympathizer- and a loving friend. I want to be ashamed to think of doing wrong and to be as hold as a lion and fearlessly do the right regardless of what people may think or say.
