How Fathers Raise Boys.
Verily thin day and time the
fathers raise their boys to live on
the streets ami sidewalks. They
lie around soda founts and drink
eth nothin# but slop and hookworm.
They grow with nothing in theii
mind except smoking cigarette.l
- cussing.
When he gets to the age of 16 hi
then wants a new suit of el die
with the bottom turned up abou
6 inches above his ankles, then n
pair of low e.ut tan shoes, a pan
loud socks, with purple background
with violets all around. He look'
like a little bananna merchant
walking around oil the street.
The inside of his head is almost
like the inside of a pumpkin. Hi
falls in love with some little spiudli
shank girl with a bolt of pink rib
bon on her hair. Then he wants
an auotomobile so that he may
ride her back and forth in the
springtime. He thinks it’s a sin
to work. He calls ohl men liars
and gets what little pin money his
mother has got and scatters that
like a cyclone scattering a rail
fence. He sits up at night to write
poetry and never thinks of. the
multiplication fable. His mind
turns to the vanities of life and
not to the high cost of (lour and
eornbread.
“Well, well," we think that he
needs a young hickory applied to
the southwest corner of his
anatony.
He thinks his father a plodder
and his mother a backnumber. He
pictures to himself how great rich
es suddenly acquired, dreams of
steam yachts and private cars.
Yea, he thinks himself the REAL
stuff. lie butts in very often
where he is not wanted; he criti
ciseth his elders; he purehaseth
cheap perfume that smells louder
than a billy goat. At last lie gets
a job as a clerk in a store at $1 a
day and pull extra change from
his boss until he is caught and is

blessing to bis dear old parents.

The Two-Pounder
*
By DORA MOLLAN
(Copyright. 1919. by ths McClur. News
paper Syndicate.)
Just below an arched stone bridge
which carries the road over a pebbly
brook the brown waters swirl down
among rocks and, spreading out, form
an ideally deep and foam-flecked trout
pool. It looks a fit spot for a veritable
king of trout to hold his solitary court,
and there Is a tradition in the Imme
diate countryside that some years ago
a three-pounder was taken from its
waters.
It is this tradition which every
year hires to the bank of the beautiful
pool ardent anglers who vainly hope
that history wifi repeat Itself.
Early on a misty morning In April
a young man In mackinaw and soft
hat, carrying creel and slender bam
boo rod, came down the highway to
ward the pool. A gray roadster stood
on the bridge.
On reaching the first point In the
road from which the brook was vis
ible he glanced down, then stood a
moment and watched. Evidently what
he saw was Interesting, hut also dis
appointing, for he continued on, per
haps a mile farther, to the banks of a
Smaller stream.
The cause of this change In purpose
was a slender, girlish figure, clad In
a corduroy sport suit, soft velour hat
of brilliant green, and long-legged rub
ber boots.
Standing back from the pool, care
fully manipulating a whippy "split"

rod, eyes Intent on the delicious wrig
gly worm she was skillfully guiding
down the "riffle," the fisher girl did
not see the man who stopped a mo
ment on the road above and then
passed along out of sight.
On the opposite bank of the brook
stood a large tree, whose low-hung
branches Just cleared a backwater.
The slender rod whipped, and by a
clever cast the girl placed the lure
temptingly In the shadowy spot A
sudden Jerk on tho line, and It started
off dowp stream 1 Quickly the girl
yielded the slack she held In her left
hand, and the reel hummed.
Then a tense moment, as she care
fully snubbed the line and held It ten
tatively taut. With a sudden slight
movement of her rod she started to
reel In. At this moment a small urchin
appeared on the bridge above and
stopped to watch. Carefully the girl
played her fish. As the line shortened
there came a splash and the flash of
a mtghty tall.
“Gee, but that must be a whopper 1”
sang out the small boy excitedly. But
the girl was thinking hard. Not ex
pecting anything like this, she had
neglected to bring a landing net.
The strain on the delicate rod was
Increasing. It bent nearly double. She
did the only thing she could think of
In the emergency: walk backward and
literally dragged her catch up the
shelving shore. Fortunately he was
well hooked, and her gear was of the
best
“Oh. golly I” exclaimed a voice close
poslde; “but ain’t he the pippin I"
The girl looked Into the freckled
face of the small boy. But she was
too Intent on her task to answer.
With unwinking eyes the urchin
watched her as she vainly tried to ex
tract the hook, and finally ended by
borrowing his knife und cutting the
Una W’itb flushed faces the girl and
the small boy, In the freemasonry of
Sportsland, examined, admired and
exclaimed over the speckled beauty.
“Gee I Bet It’s big n 6 the one old Tea
body caught here. Golly I I’m going
now and tell him about it." And the
small boy disappeared.
The fish proving too large for the
creel, the girl put It in a knapsack
she carried suspended from her shoul
der, and. climbing up to the road, un-
her rod on the way, seated
herself In the gray roadster and soon
was merely a part of u cloud of dust
vanishing In the distance.
The small urchin had slowed down

to a walk when he met the man In
slouch hat and mackinaw returning.
“Say, mister,” he said, bursting with
Importance, “you ought to ’a' seen the
-pippin the lady Just caught In the big
pool.. This big 1” And he measured at
least a yard with his grimy hands.
“That so?” said the man. "But
you’re exaggerating a little, aren’t
you, sonny?"
“Jest you go there and see It your
self,” returned the boy, starting off
again on the run. The man quickened
liis pace, but when he reached the
pool no fair angler was In sight
That evening, seated In the lounge
of his club, the sportsman was re
lating the Incident to several com
panions, who received It with the cus
tomary skepticism. One of them
laughed. “You didn’t fall for that
kid’s yarn, did you, Hammond? You
know the small boy’s power of exag
geration.”
“Well, It’s an accepted fact around
here that some unusually big trout for
this part of the country have been
taken from the Pebbly brook pool;
and I’ve always put a lot of faith In
it.” Ilammond spoke rather louder
than his wont.
A young chap stood in the doorway.
At Hammond’s words he came for
ward. “I don’t know how you heard
about it, for when I came away she
was lamenting that she had had no
one to talk It over with, but that must
be the very trout my sister caught to
day. It weighs Just an even two
pounds to the hair. I don’t know much
about fishing, and care less, but Anne
is bugs over it"
The group turned to him Interested
ly, and Hammond asked him severul
questions, but the boy seemed rather
bored by them, and gave very unsatis
factory answers. “I’d give a gootkdeai
to see that fish," exclaimed IlamiUond.
The boy brightened considerably.
"Say, I’ll call Anne up and Introduce
you over the phone, and you can go
right down. She’ll be tickled to pieces
to find one who's interested—and
then I won’t have to go home at 10, os
1 pi onilsed her."
“I’ll take you up on that,” replied
Hammond.
When Billy Crane did return that
evening It was considerably after 10,
but Trnsk Hammond and Billy’s slater
were still poring over catalogues, try
ing to decide the best place to send
the trophy to be mounted. They had
already made a date to fish Pebbly
l.rook together the next day, and over
hauled Anne's tackle and got It In
readiness for the trip, managing to be
come very well acquainted In ths
process.
It was a month later, one evening at
sundown, when Anne stood again on
the bank of the Pebbly brook pool,
easting her bait under the low-bang
lug branches of the big tree opposite,
end remarked to the man who wua
standing close by watching her: "It’a
foolish to try, I know; I probably shall
never land a two-pounder out of here
again. That was my lucky day."
The man spoke slowly, while the
brown swirling waters toughed down
over the stones; “That has been the
luckiest day in my life, so far. But
you con make today the very luckiest
ever If you wish."
The girl watched her curling line
closely for a moment; then said, arch
ly: “You’re too big to go In my creel,
but so was that two-pounder—and I
didn’t put It back, did ir

Whittier's Pet Dog Had Reasons for
Showing Appreciation of Sing
ing of “Robin Adair."
An old lady who was a friend of
the poet Whittier tells the following
story:
At one time, when hts birthday was
being publicly celebrated, he hnd as
a guest Mrs. Julia Houston West,
then the most celebrated oratorio
singer in America. After the dinner
Whittier asked her to sing. She chons
for her selection the ballad "Kobln
Adair,” which she sang with great
pathos and feeling. Hardly had she
begun the song when Whittier’s pet
dog came into the room, walked over
close to her side and stared up at her
with every expression of delight
When she hnd finished, he lifted his
paw to shake hands, and then, leap
ing up, he licked her cheek.
"His name Is also Uobln Adair,"
explained Mr. Whittier, "so he takes
that song as a tribute to himself.”
And very evidently he did. From
that moment he devoted himself tq
Mrs. West, hardly leaving her side,
Indoors or out, during her visit; and
when she went away he carried her
traveling bag in his mouth as far as
the carriage, and showed his sorrow
over her departure In every way that
a dog could. —Youth’s Companion.
