Ill 111 .,-' I 'I 111 to win 11 place for himself I: the woi hi. Hn hud rend sever:. I bonks about binve youths who hml gone into some gient city mid so attracted the man.igots of great busines" institutions by their nppcntnnce that the maniigcis hnd Riven them employment at once and in tho com so of n ynr or two these youths were pushing up toward the head places in the gro.it business insti tutions. This youth wasn't such an all lircil Rood worker nbout home, but ho wns a good bit of a di earner and liked to lip ure on tint fortune he was going to gather in when lie got into thd world, lie nientioii-d nis dosito to his paternal ancostoi, but he did not meet with any heaity oncourunmeat. After henring his story tho old man studied a moment and then said. "My son, I can't say that I know much about this business of conquciing the world that you talk about. It has al ways kept mo tolerably busy humping nleng and taking cate of the family grocery nnd dtess bills so Unit I haven't hnd tiiuo to think about doing up the woild in genenil, but my judgment is if you want to go into the woild con quel iug business 11 good place to stall woiild boiight here ill home. If it is work you mo hrinkei lug after I think you cm scale up quite a good dual of it right hole at home, but if you gut out among sti unguis you miy Inula good ilual of tioublu. Tho youth, however, thought his father waa a fogy, and took no stock in his lemniks. llu wns satisfied that mound home was no place for him When the outhN father sa v that his sou was fiti uck on the idea of going out to conquer tho world he said nothing moie, but the youth's mother was woi tied nbout her darling boy and insiMid that her husband should not allow the poor ilenr to go. Right there, however, the old mini, who hadn't tinvulei! much but who wns conceded to hnvo u lot of cood horsu sense, ditleied ftom his wife. "It is my opinion," said lie, 'that if tho boy has made up his mind to tackle tho woild it will bo 11 good idea to let him tackle 'ei ; ho may leal u quite a heap in the courso of a few months that ho doesn't know now." So tho old man gave the boy 120 as n starter and turned him loose. The boy tackled tho city, but somehow or other bis appearance didn't seem to strike any managers of any great business concerns and the 125 faded away like a piece of custard pie when a healthy boy mnkes a front and side attack. Wtitn be had gotten down to the Inst 50 cent piece he happened to stiiko i job of moving heavy boxes inton wan-, house from a diny. He hnd to woi h harder than ho had ever supposed 11 boy could work and for his labor he re ceived a stipend of tl 25 a day. He slaved with his job for two weeks and then wrote to his mother that he was lonesome to see her And his mother worked the old man for enough cash to pay her boy's railroad fate from tho city to tho homo station Tho boy is feeding cattle at picsuuton the home place and tinsn't .said a woid about go ing out to conquer the woild since ho came back. Moral. A little tough cxpeuunco someiimts is a good thing. Two squirrels who lived in a liousu in tho woods were talking over ti.u question of winter supplies. "I under stand from the weather piediotoia,' said one, "that this is to ben very mild wintor and that theto is no need to lay up any considerable amount of stoics." "Maybe so." lemarked the1- second squirrel, "but I mid an undo who lis tened to the talk of a gang of weather predictors who said there wouldn't be enough cold weather to make ice; he ran out of feed in the middle of Feb. runty when the weather was 20 below uiouud starved to death befoie the Warm weather came iu the spring. Since thou when the weather piophots say the winter will be mild I In) iu an exiia quail of nuts " Six hogs iu a en wuie given slop iu atiouh ihaL was it tiilli snort, but which would have given them nil n chance if they hnd buen contented to simply slick their noses in nnd di ink. Instead of doing that, however, they made a rush for tho trough, ono hog jumped iu and tried to keep nil tho rest out Thootheis jammed and pushed nnd among thuii they spilled at least two-thiids of the slop out of the trough while the weakest hogs got almost nothing nt all. Then a wise crow that was sitting on a limb wheio he could seo the pel f ot inance in the pon said in n meditative manner, "1 notice that hogs and men ate a good deal alike. I'hoy waste half living to ciowd each other out while it they were content to let oilier hogs and other people have a chiuco ihcie would be n plenty for all." land GUIDE ROCK.
