that tho cue Is more serious and
that this is his second or his third!
(.r his fourth. Wh'chever it is, about
i his time of the season tho proui.
vuv ouuauy morning long ago a
young rather sat beside u dimpled ca
Hr 1 1 lire of a human, watched It
grunt and aim to stick a pink toe
I io a toothless mouth and marveled
if ever there had been another won
der baby like this one. Tho straw
was slight one, to be sure, but the
bulldog determination to connect
mouth and too showed tho man con
clusively which way jlio wind blow.
Noxt him stood a tall, protty thing In
sort pale-blue. Most of tho foolish
things that woro In tho mind of tho
mini lie told to this girl but ho did
not dnro toll her what now ho
thought such groat things ho, ex
pected of that Firstborn, did that
young foolish Dad. Often nftor that

Itondlng, writing and nrlthniotlc
wore from "bad" to "iiiodlum,"
conduct was wnrso and out of a
class of 152 ho held the cellar cham
pionship. If It happens to bo tho first roar
tho case Is not jot so serious for
Dad clings tenaciously to hopo. Hut
If yoar nftor yoar the boy falls, then
It Is that a head grown grnytir and
grajor about tho temple as It tosses
restlessly, frottlng, wondering what
will become of tho Hoy.
And yet, In the name of Souso,

You might wonder nt this but
your old master would not. "it's tho
rule, proved by except Ions," lie
would say. "Tho reason U simple.
The boy with tho scholastic ml ml
loads his class but ho'll never make
moro of himself than a college pro
fessor. The othor fellows, those to

those aro tho ones that will come out

There aro scores of other reasons
why you should not lose faith In the

It may bg that year for yoar ho is
MAN marvels much at himself.
He contemplates with awe the
wonders of his works. He is
o mazed with his own greatness, and
can scarcely understand it. He
looks back upon the savage barba
rian he once was and admits that
civilization has evolved a superior
creature indeed. It would be useless
to dispute his grounds for this self
admiration. He Is a wondorful be
ing. Ho has achieved much during
his development, nnd his superiority
over nil other living crenturoa has
given hlm undisputed lordship and
dominion on this earth. Hut In tho
midst of his ndulntlon of self It
might be well for hlm to reflect upon
his own dollclouclos as woll as unon
hi? ab'lltles, upon whnt he has lost
by civilization ns well us upon what
ho has gained by It, on his Inferiority
as well as upon his. superiority.
Tho Portland Orogonlan while re
futing tho cnntontlon that some hor
ses hnve been known to have ronton
lug powers, nt tho same time goes on
to show wlieroln tho lowor nnlinnls
are superior to uinn,
"Thoro Is renson to bellovo," It
any, "that most nnlinnls surpass
mankind In the precision and delicacy
of their senses, as well as In swift
ness of muscular responto to atlmul
us. ItlsknownbyHtocknicn thntamaro
can convey a whole volume of Infor
mation to her foal by the slightest
touch of her nose. The foal Is as
leep on the ground. The dam scents
dnrger. No sooner has she tnuchod
the Hank of her slumbering charge
than It Is awake, on Its feet and
ready to run at full apeod. Tho mus
cular response of a sleeping cat to
Kmnltia of any kind Is so swift
that humnn eyes can not follow It.
Vnrli more la this true of wild ani
mals. It is n curlnuM question
whether mankind once possessed the
saiuo dollcacy of sense nnd tins nor
lost it, or whothor. we hnvo always
been dull compared with tho boasts.
Tho ncnto sight nnd honrlng of snv-
ascas Boem to nrguo thnt tho son"
or the humnn rnco aro not nnturnllv
Inferior. Saint Dornnrd virtually de
stroyed his sight, tnBto and smell by
tho severities of his ascetic llfo.
Civilization has wrought something
of tho saiuo offect upon us nil. Per
haps by nn Improved education wo
may somotlmo regnln what wo hnvo
lost. If It Is worth whllo. As tho
world goes thoro. la somo doubt
whothor ncutor oars would innko us
