Boyrsv-phs It is hardly right to blame a boy for taking to the streets when all the ef forts of the parents , are confined to making tho girl's room attractive. A boy is not to be blamed for doubt ing the worth of the advice against smoking that is given by his father between whiffs of a pipe. Boys will be boys, but that is no reason why they should not be gentlemen. A boy in the house is worth twn on the streets. The boy who remembers his mother is not nicely to get far away from God. When a boy begins to comb his hair and polish his shoes without being driven to it it a sure sign that he has met her. And only a foolish par ent will try to plague him about it. Bradn Leaks The man with a mission never lack for hearers. The bravest men are those who are afraid to do wrong. If it is really worth saying it is not always necessary to shout it. Tho sermon that fails to hit you Is one that does you little good. If politics fs a dirty business it is your duty to get into it with soap"and orusn.

"Have it v ready by 6 o'clock," tho congressman directed. "I'll come by for it". He was there at the appointed time, but the blade had not been sharpened. "Sorry, boss," said the negro, "but Ah jes cudn't git it Ixed in time." "Well, well, that's bad," answered Mr. Kitchen. "I've got to go to a par ty tonight." At this the barber suddenly went into the back of the shop, and much to the distinguished visitor's surprise, brought out a blade '.ith six or seven deep notches in It. "Yer c'n use dis, boss," he said, holding it' out. "Why, what do you" mean? What can I do with that razor?" ' "It's ail right, boss," said the ne gro in an injured tone.

During one of the skirmishes prior to the engage ment on Lookout mountain General Dilworth was standing UDon tlio breastworks taking an observation, with the bullets singing a chorus around him.

"Where are you going?" asked Gen eral Lee. "Back to join General Bob Lee," said .the other. "I've been home on a fur lough." - "Throw away your gun and go back home again. Lee's surrendered."
