WHAT ABOUT THE BOYS’ CLUB?
'These boys ought to be at home and In bed”—
Yes, mtybe so. We have heard thla advice from some of the wise
I ones; tho ones who haven't seen the "Boys’ Club," and whose own boys
are probably not In bed as early as the boys of the club. Then. too. we
have aeen the club for ourselves. We've seen all the boys; their super
intendent—who calls them "fellows," and the ladles—the “Order of Old-
Fashlonod Women," and we were not so much worried about the boys
getting to bed, cither. Thoro are so many boys In the world who are not
made much of at home. So many come to homes--where there Isn't room
for them, and not much clothing and seldom a new pair of shoes, and
less love and attention—so these boya get hungry for attention, and love
and fellowship and picture books and somebody to read wonderful stories
to them. They want to hear about Robinson Crusoe and bis man Fri
day. and Aladdin; and the Swiss Family Robinson—and nobody at homo
cares, and probably nobody at borne ha* read these »torle*. Sometime*
nobody nt home love* very much; time* get hard, the family get* largo,
cares Increase, and the father and mother get grouchy: Thla Is often
the lot of the ehlluren of the poor.
What about the rich? Sometlmei the children are brought up by
nurses. Fathers and mothers spend their time at clubs and bridge par
ties. Who Is It loves and feeds the minds and Imaginations of these lit
tle fellow*, raised like Incubator chickens? Bo^s can’t bo grown like
running a machine. When God made HI* plan for boys He put love and
desire and longing In the hearts of the little fellows that a million years
pf training out could not remove. Ho put the mischief there: the desire
to climb trees, and tho belief that green apples are better than anything
In the world. He put the love for marbles and tops, and made lessons
difficult to learn, and filled boys' hearts with a yearning for fairy stories
and the belief In 8anta Claus. He made them long for deeds of daring
and acta of bravery. The little fellows themselves had nothing to do
with It nil; It Is their nature.
Some boys are bad. They He and steal, but what can you expect
when thnlr fathers will do the same In business; like gentlemen, of
course, but the boy would do It like a gentleman If he knew how. Does
your boy tell falsehoods and run out nights? Have you ever spent much
of your time trying to entertain him and keep him at home? When he
has mado-mistakes, how often do you follow them up and help him cor
rect them?
The Hoys' Club Is a heaven to all boya. It Is a safely valve for their
enthusiasm. They have a gymnasium where they can climb Imaginary
trees, play monkey, turn hand-springs, skin down ropes, yell themselves
hoarse, work hard, sweat—and then alt down In the little library and
look nt picture books—or have Mr. Dorr or the librarian read to them.
And at 9 o'clock tho light* are put out and all tho boys go home, tired
and happy. And It costa each one only five eenti a month.
Tho godmothers of this great family ol boys are such women aa
Mrs. Robert Mnddox. Mri. William Kiser. Mrs. Wllmer Moore, Mrs. Ju
lian Field. Sirs. Foremun and a score of others who are doing the work
Just becauso they love boys and can spare the time to make the young
sters happy.
The boys need bath room facilities, and a great many other thlnga;
gymnasium apparatus, tools to work with, and If you have forgotten yoty
own boys and their needs and desires. Just make up with them tonight
—and then take them all to the entertainment the boys’ club Is going to
give at tho Grand Opera House.
God holp the man who was never n boy.
GEORGIA’S NEW BISHOP.
The election at Augusta of the Rev. Frodorlck F. Reese, D. D.. rector
of Christ church, Nashville. Tenn., as bishop of the new Episcopal dio
cese of Georgia, brings back to the state one of the most universally be
loved clergymen who ever ministered to the spiritual welfare of a con
gregation. As rector for many years of Christ church of Macon, Dr.
Uccso wtui grently admired 'and beloved not only by members of hts own
Important parish, but by the community at large. His performance of
clerical duties at Nashville has brought him the aame regard and loyalty
as were so abundantly accorded him at Macon.
Bishop Reese Is a native of Georgia and In entering upon hli en
larged ecclesiastics! responsibilities he will bring to |M work nn Inti
mate knowledge of anti profound sympathy for the need* of the peoplo
of the new diocese of Georgia. Savannah has been chosen aa the place
of realdenco for tho newly-elected bishop, who will speedily enter upon
Ills duties. ,
The original Episcopal diocese of Georgia having become too largo
and unwieldy for the Jurisdiction of one bishop, at the urgent advice of
Ilishop C. K. Nelson It was divided, one division being known aa the Dio-
geso of Atlanta—of which Bishop Nelson remains Iho head—nnd the
other, the Djocese of Georgia, which has Just elected Dr. Reese as bishop.
In the prlmo'ot hit mature years, an eloquent. Impressive preacher of re
markably magnetic personality and singularly devoted to hli religious
duties and obligations. Bishop Reese enters upon hla new Held of labor
rarely equipped nnd endowed for future success and achievement
SEEKERS AFTER KNOWLEDGE.
That Atlanta business men are open to new Ideas, ready to listen to
any suggestion that may aid them tn building up the profeislon of sales
manship. was evidenced by the audience which filled the Grand Thurs
day night to hoar the address on "The Science of Successful Salesman
ship," by J. D. Kenyon, a man who has studied hla subject and speak*
with authority.
It la typical of the Atlanta Spirit that busy men, bead* of great
firm* and successful ones, should grasp th* opportunity to learn some
thing new about their own builnet*. It ha* not been many years since
a merchant would have believed It presumptuous that a stranger ahould
try to tell him how to run hla own business But the salesman—the suc
cessful salesman—baa dona tbla for yean. Many a merchant has been
abown tho way to forga ahead by a hint from the modern American sales
man with Ideas of hli own. The salesman baa become a great educator
In the college of trade.
It was thru tho efforts of Atlantans that Mr. Kenyon was brought to
Atlanta to deliver his address, and hundreds of prominent business men
and their co-workere were Invited to hear him. Tho response was sur
prising. when one considers the reluctance of a busy worker to go to any
kind of “meeting." One big department store requested 1*7 tickets tor
Its employees, and used them. From many houses t came requosta for ten
or a doxen tickets, and every one was used. Heads of Arms went to hear
Mr. Konyon and took their salesmen with them, and they cam* away
with new Ideas about their work.
Mr. Kenyon Is a specialist In salesmanship. He treata It as a science,
believing that one may Increase hla selling power by a close study ot bis
1 wares, his customer and conditions. The attention accorded him by At
lanta's representative men was evidence that they were hearing some
thing of value to them, and many expressed the belief that this value
would be proven by the euccess of eclentlfle ealeimaneblp applied tn fu
ture to their own business.
GREAT INDUSTRIAL PLANTS AGAIN AT WORK.
No more convincing, reassuring proof of the Anal passing of tbe re
cent financial depression can be found than the encouraging report*
which come from tho great mills and factories throughout the country.
The Industrial plants which were compelled by the monetary atringency
either to ceaee operations entirely or seriously to curtail their working
force have again aasumed normal conditions and have put on their pay
roll* thousands of men who have been Idle for week* or months.
This Is a red letter week In the Industrial life of the country and Is
marked by a moat significant resumption of business In tbe large man
ufacturing districts of tbe United States. At Cleveland. Ohio, between
five and six thousand men have returned to work at the Lorain plant of
the National Tube Company, which has been closed for several months.
Eight thousand five hundred men are employed at this plant under nor
mal conditions, and It Is etated that this full quota of men will be put to
vci'k at an early date.
The American 8te«1 and Wire Company at Salem, Ohio, resumed on
Monday double time operations. * The tube plant of the Mark Manufac
turing Company at Zanesville, Ohio, resumed work on the same day. giv
ing occupation to seven hundred men, and tho Roseville pottery, employ-'
Ing three hundred, began operations on half time.
After being shut down for nearly three months three of tbo mills ot
the Stark Rolling Mill Company at Canton, Ohio, havo resumed work
and the remaining two plants of this company, are expected to be In op
eration In a fortnight. At Chicago two thousand men were put to work
on Monday In the plate, slab and structural milts of tho Illinois Steel
Company. Next Monday five thousand more men will be added to thlB
present working force. Tbe Fells factory of tbe Boston Rubber Shoe
Company, at Malden, rfas*., which has been closed for eleven weeks, has
resumed operations, giving employment to more than one thousand op
eratives.
The Inspiring throb ot mighty machinery and the bustle and activity
ot tbe resuming Industrial enterprlaea of the country proclaim as no other
material forces could the return of public confidence and the passing ot
the last vestige of the recent depression.
THE MESSAGE OF ST. VALENTINE
The day of eweet and tender memo
ries; the day of fluttering hearts and of
chirping birds and the day when the
faithful postman finds his packet a
heavy, unwieldy burden, ha* posses
sion of the world thla, the 14th day of
February.
The little god, Cupid, whose dimpling
youth remains unaltered thru all the
centuries, Is buey this day carrying the
same messages of affection and of feal
ty as have been told for generations by
loving ewaln to pretty sweetheart.
Perhaps the modern missives, which
tninsmlt the quaint rhymes, throbbing
with love and hope, are a bit more ar
tistic than those delicate lacy affairs
of years ago which found their way
Into the hands of watting youths and
maidens, but the same sentiment Is
there; the same pink hearts and snowy
doves tell that same, unchanging story
whlch has kept the world young and
beautiful and ha* made life worth the
living to men and women who have
long ago outgrown what the cynic
terms “the sentimental follies of youth."
Like every other anniversary which
lift* humanity for a few hours out of
the sordid rutn of everyday living. St
Valentine'* Day bring* Into cloier, hap
pier communion the old and fhe young,
the girl and the boy and the mature
man and woman who have never lost
the sweetness end the glow which God
has Implanted In the hearts of Hla
elect.
On this day the burdens and carklng
cares of human existence drop away
from weary shoulders ae did the bundle
from Christian's back, and memory,
with Its tender, softened light, reveals
the Innocent, unalloyed happiness and
the eager expectation of other 8t. Val
entine'* Days, when the postman
brought missives, the contents of which
meant more to the blushing recipient
than all the proclamations and pronun-
ctamentos of president*, potentates or
prelates.
St. Valentine's Day temporarily bars
the door to approaching old age. with
Its messages of love and faith, and
opens to the eye* of eager, expectant
youth a vista of beauty nnd of happi
ness which Is forever within the reach
of that part of humanity which still be
lleves that “Love rules the world."

Norwegian Life
The scope of women'* employment In
much wider In Norway than with us.
Even large public banquets are chiefly
served by maids, and In the (hops cus
tomers are waited upon, generally, by
saleswomen. This Is by no means con
fined to a few classes of shop*. In shoe
shops, for both mon nnd women. In
jewelers' and silversmiths'; In fact. In
almost every branch of retail trade,
while women are not exclusively em
ployed to wait upon customers, they
decidedly predominate. In Ihe banks
also, women are much employed, not
only In clerical capacities, but for work
exclusively performed In America by
men. In the University of Christiania
both sexes attend the lectures Indis
criminately artd are upon the same
footing, fn tha practice of medicine,
and especially of dentistry, there are
quite ae many female ae male practi
tioners. In a small block of buildings
close to the legation I have counted
he signs of six dentist*, three of whom
re women. Even In the law women
re admitted to practice. Education
my be said to be universal In Norway,
'he commonest laborer, can at least
ead and write, and many peasants st
ain a conalderabte degree of culture.
