Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till tha reapen
Have the last sheaf gathered home,
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have coma.

For the bloom of life Is withered.

By whose light my soul shall gladly

by disease, boils seem to come with more frequency,

buncle to the tpitefuf little cat-boil, are caused bv bad blood, and the
only way to avoid or get permanently rid of them is to purify and

THE PENALTY OF WEALTH.
Millionaire Whose Uvea Are Made
Miserable by Craukaand Promoter.
Three men In the Wall street dis
trict, New York, receive requests In
the courso of a year to back schemes
the financing of which would break
the Bnnk of England or bankrupt the
government of the United States. They
are John w. Gates, J. ricrpont Mor
gun and Edwin Hawley. These propo
sals run through the whole gamut of
human Ingenuity, from a new method
of scratching matches to the promo
tion of a South Amerlcnn revolution
or the prevention of earthqunkes and
other seismic disturbances. They pour
In by letter and persons from all quar
ters of the globe.
These things are the penalty of spec

troubles that beset the man who makes

Why He I Generally Left In tha Bear
by the Country Boy.
That the country Is the better place
to raise boys Is the teaching of all ex
perience. Go over the list of the men
who have done things in your city. A
large majority of them are country
bred. Why?
The boy wherever you find him
needs wide spaces for the development
of the vital forces that are in him.
lie Instinctively covets elbow room.
'iue boyish swath is a wide oue. He
Is ueoessarlly noisy. He bubbles over
for the same reason a tea kettle does,
He Is full of spontaneity and runs
over. In the city he Is cribbed, .ca
blned and confined. He has little
chance to let himself out What won
der the roundly developed country lad
beats blm to the goal.
Poor city lad.. Here Is the picture
Secretary Shaw gives of him, In a re
cent address: "The boy Is the most
valuable product of society, but In the
city he Is not fairly treated. He lacks
a chance for the free play of bis na
ture. His parents seldom give blm a
gymnasium or a D0P or even a room
of bis own. They are afraid he will
spoil the furniture. Jt Is too expen
sive to let him do as he pleases. So
they give blm money and let him go to
the streets wblcb are often an open
gate to bell." The picture Is true.
Poor city lad. There are no wide
echoing fields or shady woods where
he may wander at bis will, giving full
play and proper vent to the life forces
that run riot In bla veins,
there Is no call of the wild. For him
there la no company and touch of Na
ture which the country boy knows
and, feels.
At home they say of the city boy
that be is rude and awkward and de
structive. What wonderl The only
wonder Is he doesn't explode. He Is
all boy. That's why he Is worth rais
ing! Expressions oi energy in the boy
spell Force. He has In blm the mak
ing of a man. Why scold him and
spoil bis temper for being what he Is?
Why spoil blm by trying to make him
what be Is not?
An unspoiled boy city or country-
Is about the finest thing on two legs.
He Is affectionate under his vest He
Is sympathetic If you know how to
reach bis sympathies. He Is honest
And frank. And above all, be stands
for fair play. Later on, as a man, he
may lose many of these virtues, but as
a boy be Is admirable.
Give the city boy his chance. Let
him go to the country at every oppor
tunity. Let him build a (hop In the
back yard or In the cellar If be choos
es. Give blm a room of his own. Of
course the room wlll be topsy turvey
betimes. Of course. He Is not a young
gentleman. He Is i boy, God bless
him. Let blm bring his comrades
home with blm. Iet them together
romp and raise caln. Give the city
boy a vent The country-raised boy
has beaten the clty-ralsed boy because
he has had a better chance. Des
