•T HERE saying, is ’As much the twig truth Is in bent, the old so
the tree Inclines,’" observed the re
tired merchant. ‘‘If a boy Inclined
to crookedness grew up to be a straight
and reliable man, it would be nothing
short of a miracle.
Therefore I trem
ble tor tjjg future
of Spoon able’s
boy, William Hen
ry. He seems to
be Just naturally
vicious.”
"You’re full of
exeelsor,” said the
7; hotelkeeper polite
.
iy- "AU those,
cbestnutty old say
ings are fakes.
The patriarchs
"■JHMBHHHV used to be always
saying that ,the
boy is the father of the man, but he
Isn’t; and he Isn’t grandmother to the
man, either. You can’t study a boy
and predict what sort of a man he’s
going to be, any more than the official
forecaster can examine his maps and
charts and tell na what the weather
will be like tomorrow.
“You observe that my larboard eye
Is somewhat discolored and I have a
contusion on my brow, and my nose
Is slightly out of alignment. Yester
day I was pirooting along a back street
on a little errand, when I beheld a
big, husky teamster pounding the saw
dust out of a venerable horse that had
seen better days. I went up to him
and protested In the most courteous
way, and he said it would afford him
genuine pleasure to kick my spln§ up
through my hat, if I didn’t go my way
and leave him alone. I informed .him
that if he hit that horse again I
would push his countenance out of
place, and he Immediately clubbed the
suffering animal harder than ever.
“I am glad to say that I succeeded
In kicking most of the rind off the
teamster’s shins before be got me
down and sat on my head, but I sub
mit that a man who will take such
chances as I did must have the cause
of cruelty to animals much at heart.
There’s nothing makes my blood boll
quicker than to see an animal abused.
"Well, when I was a boy I had a
wide reputation for cruelty. I used
to delight in tying tin cans to the
tails of dogs, and In drowning cats,
and In robbing birds’ nests, and all
such sinful pastimes. The moralists
of that period agreed that I was en
titled to the mantle of Nero, and that
I would come to a bad end. Yet when
I became old enough to have some
sense, I made pets of all the dumb
critters within eight miles,
‘if that old maxim about the twig
and the tree were any good, it ought
to work both ways, and the saintly boy
always would become a grand, good
inan. But as a rule the truly good
boys don’t amount to much in after
life. Nearly ull our useful citizem
were bard citizens when they were
boys, and the shiftless, no-account men
were simply angelic when they went
to school.
"A boy gets tired of being immacu
late after be has tried it a few years,
and he goes to the other extreme.
And the boy who has been a horrible
example ever since he left the cradle
guts sick of that sort of thing when he
has cut his wisdom teeth, and he be
comes so virtuous that there’s no liv
ing In the same block with him.
"Most of the old sayings are fool
ish and trifling, and I am surprised
when a grown mnn goes around quot
ing them. Yet a lot of fellows think
they have clinched an argument when
they drag In a bewlilskered maxim.
In order to show that SpoonaMe’s boy
i* foredoomed, you spring that old
wheeie about the twig and the trite.
You might just as well say that Mary
had a little lamb, and consider the ar
gument closed.
