cepted befort the millennium arrives, and when that
comes there will be no prisons or prisoners to worry about.
But there is wide-spread and constantly growing
sympathy with the effort to emphasize the possibilities of
reforming convicts, and experiments in this direction have
warm and increasing approval.
We mav be slow to irive up the spirit of vengeance in
our ideas of punishment, but we must at least admit that
it never played any beneficial part.

13 YOUB BOY'S CHANCE IN
THE WORLD.
"Tho dazzling attractions of a luxury-loving
age constitute tho greatest
possible danger to American educa
tion." President Faunce of Brown
University.
It's a fine Sunday afternoon. Proud
and happy Father is giving Bnby Boy
un airing and getting a lot of good
from tho exercise himself. Tho young
ster's asleep now, so wo '11 just join
Daddy and nave a quiet talk with him
about his son's future.
"What are you eoinir to do to civo
that boy of yours a start in lifct" we!
ask. !
"Why, we're going to feed Mm,!
clothe him nnd try to keep him well,''!
says tho fond parent. "We'll send;
him to public school and Sunday-school.)
Ho will have good books to read, good!
playthings and good playmates." I
"That's fine,'' we reply, "bnt bowj
is ho going to learn thrift and the;
value of money?"
"Well, my theory is," replies tho!
young father, "that if my child is
given nil those things I have mentioned;
he will be pretty well ablo to take caroj
of himself wlien the time comes. Of i
course, I'm carrying somo life Insur-i
ance for the benefit of my family."
"That's nil right," wo reply, "but;
do you realize that learning tho valuo
of money by beginning to earn It and:
srnvo it in his boyhood will do .more to j
insure your boy's success thnn almost;
any other nne thingt It will crento inj
him a habit which will bo of lifelong
benefit. And if you open a savings 1
bank account in li is namo and keep it
up faithfully, eventually, with hit as
sistance, you can aecunyilnto a really
worth-whilo fund from money which
you otherwise might waste." I
"By George, there's a good deal of
truth in thut. I never looked at It liko !
that before," says tho young father,
just as the babv wakes up nnd begins
to say "Dad, Dad."
"I'll start that savings account to
morrow" is his parting remark as we
take leave of lilm.
Now just a word to parents of older
