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. “I know yon are suffering to me,that people who live in glass houses Wouldn’t throw stones, but I won’t •- ..for Romanes af Paper.
