This Is a story for boys. It Is not
exactly "a Sunday school story." but It
lias the right hort of good ring to It
Just the same. Krauk I'revost, of To
ledo, Ohio, drives a delivery wagon,
He Ih a pleasant and neeoniinoiliitlng
lad and when au old gentleman asked
If he could ride about tho city with
lilm, Kniuk readily assented. After
uu hour's drive the stranger asked
Frank to go to u t-aloon ami have a
drink, The boy declined, ttaylng he
never drank. The old man asked If
ho chewed tobacco ami upon receiving
n reply lu the negative offered tho lsy
a cigar, which he also decline. That
Is thu tlrst chapter. The old mini who
rode with the delivery boy was that
eccentric millionaire. Mr, lllggluson, of
Nan FrunclHCo. lllgglnson, wherever
lie k'och, In looking for boys like Frank
I'revost, Hefore leaving Toledo tho
iiilllloiialro went to Frank and present
ed lilm with ?-',HH lu bank uotes, which
the Iwy will use to start In business for
himself. The moral Ih plain. It pays
to bo pleasant and nceomuuMhuliig,
even to nlniugen. U pays to have it
good moral character. You may not be
asked to give a millionaire lu dUguUo
a lift, Ami again, you may, for lllggln.
Ken Is always on his travels and always
on tho lookout for boys. Hut whether
you meet lllggliiMMi or not, there are
others on tho lookout. Iteiuembei- haw
lUogeuen went about the streets of
Athens looking for it man) Well, the
world la looking for a man. And the
world usually llntls the man It Is look
lag for In it hoy. You nmy not get
$2,100 nil In n lump by being the right
sort of n boy, bat the world will be
glad to give It to you sooner or later.
A story Is told of u wise mother, who,'
'When her small sou announced his
Intention of running away from home
because something had vexed him, met
the announcement with calm acquies
cence. Slio packed a small bundle for
him to take away, suggested the next
town as a good place to stay for the
night, and added: "Of course, Harry,
If you really want to go, you nmy;
but you don't know how much I shall
miss you." The youngster picked up
his bundle, went slowly down the path
to tlio front gate, opened It, then turned
and ran for the house, where he Hung
his arms about his mother's neck and
burst Into tears. The treatment was
not needed again. If that mother had
met the hoy's plan with tears, re
proaches, anger, or punishment, the
chances are that she would either have
had a spoiled child on her hands, or
awakened some morning a few years
later to Hud that her son had really
run away. The sense of freedom Is a
most valuable asset lu dealing with
Young America. The child who Is
continually thwarted In unimportant
things gets lu the Imhlt of lighting for
what he thinks are his rights, whether
he Is Justlllcd lu the assumption or not.
There are some children who are
brought up on the principle that It Is
ciunlly heinous to, tell a lie, to come
Into the house without wiping one's
feet, and to fall lu a lesson. Such chil
dren are apt to develop a somewhat
crooked moral perspective, which does
not not always get straightened out
lu years to come. Tho boy who llg
ures lu the above story had read of
runaways, and formed a not very dell-
nlte Idea of the freedom and pcaco
which such a course entails, lie had
not thought about the other aspect of
It at all. Ills mother brought him faco
to face with the realities and let him
choose for himself, at the same time In
dicating clearly what she thought It
was best for him to do. It did not take
long for him to discover that she was
wiser than he.
For months a laughing hoy Iiiih been
the bone of contention In a famous
New York law suit. A husband and
wife had parted. They viewed each
oher as strangers ncross a trial table
In a court room. There was no doubt
about their love for the boy. It was
pure gold. It should have made a wo
man more tolerant, a man more forglv-
I lit,'. Happy married folks can't un
derstand how the mothers and fath
ers of children can ever separate and
learn to hate. In this case there wiih a
groat deal of money on one side. It
meant Hue clothing for baby, and
nurses, rich food, carrlago drives and
costly toys. Koine day It would mean
a yacht, a valet, n prlvato car all of
the things that can lie had for money.
On tho other side tho mother's there
was much love and very little money.
It was possible that her Hon would
bo compelled to work some day, and
that he would be denied all sorts of
comforts and luxuries that go with
great Incomes. What a problem for
the Judge! This Judge, wIioro mimo
Ih Hlckpy, has sonic strange Ideas. He
thinks that when married folks nro
foolish enough to break up a relation
that should mean peace and content
meiit, It Ih the business of tho court
to place the welfare of tho children
above every other condition. That
doesn't mean money always. Listen to
the modern Solomon: "Tho boy needs
the personal attention and tho loving
care of his mother more than ho needs
the money of his father, If the father
Iiiih the affection for the child ho pro
fesses ho will see that IiIh boy Ih
clothed and fed wherever ho Is." In
other words, a mother Is closer to her
children than a father, and, for once,
the law Iiiih recognized It. The Idea
of the superior claim of a father to
his children has received au olllelal set
back. Where no tpieMlou of moral.-: Is
Involved and when love and money are
antagonists, Justice should throw her
Influence on the side of hearts as
against gold, llecause It Is best for the
children.
Hummock riwini;iiiir mi Art.
The art of nwIukIu:; jnueefully lu a
hammock Is aciiulrcd. It does not come
naturally. It Ih on a par with learning
to ride a hleycle or rowlnj; a hoat. It
taken eonslderahle practice, much pres
ence of mind and skill to hecome pro
ficient. Awkward positions are easily
taken while reclining or sitting lu limn
mocks, and the most graceful may fall
far short while In one of these most
treacherous, though comfortable, ad
juncts to a summer nutliu,".
To make a pretty picture a young
woman should perch lightly on the
edge of the swing and poise herself
easily. The only true way to recline
Is to cross the feet gracefully and nl
low her skirt to hang freely over the
edge. Tho most trying ordeal for the
hummock girl Is that of alighting from
the swing, This Is always au embar
rassing moment, but quickness mid a
little dexterity will extricate the youug
woman from the trying position.
