IV.? Making Man of the
Boy
COLONEL SXEED watched with
sparkling eyes mid swelling
chest the efforts of his lufaut
grandson to swallow a very
small but very chubby foot.
"There is no use n-talkiu*. honey," he
observed to his daughter, Mrs. William
Holllus? "there's no use a-talkin', but
that's a remarkable child, a most re
markable child. lie knows what he
wants and he's goin' to get it or break
his neck a-tryin". .lust notice how he
baugs ou to that foot. He's got a
grip like a country politician, and he's
as dead set as Jim Kobluson's old
mule. Did 1 ever tell you about that
mule, honey?"
"So, papa, but nil babies suck their
toes if they're given a chance."
"Huh! Maybe they do, maybe they
do. but they don't all do it the same
way. Every human walks ou two legs,
yet It's easy to tell a man from a
mollycoddle by the way he steps.
When it comes to readiu' character
there ain't many can get ahead of
your old daddy, and 1 don't need a
telesco|K% to see that this young un Is
an extraordinary child, lie's got the
makin' of a man in him, and he'll
make oue, too, If
you don't let torn
foolishness head
hltu off."
"Why. papa,
what on earth do
you mean?"
"Just what I
s a y. honey.
There's a whole
lot of people lu
trousers ioatln'
around tills town
who'd 'a* been
real men perhaps
If their mothers
had let 'em alone.
1 p Tho main point
in raisin' bo.vs
"TDE man'N'?PA U tn know,u'
where to stop.
There's too many mothers? and they're
good mothers, too; I ain't savin' any
thing against their intentions, but
there's too many of them? that's got
the idea that they ain't doin' their
whole duty unless they make little
angels out of their boys. Some of
them succeed, too. but the product
dou't stay on earth very long. Little
augels are all right in heaven, no
doubt, but they don't seem to fit Into
the plan of things down here. As old
Bill Swift's always sayin',., they're
kind of de trop. What we newl'ln this
vale of tears is men. just plain men,
and the sooner you get that fixed In
your noggin, honey, the better It'll be
for William Matriiuitoe there. Just
look at the little rascal kick. 1 never
saw such an extraordinary child. Hon
est. I never did.
"But. as 1 was sayin', honey, the
main thing In raisin* boys is knowin'
when to let 'em alone. And boys, I
want to tell you, can stand a whole lot
of lettin' alone and be all the better
for it. If you let that youngster get
the notion that he's boss of the shop,
and I see signs of It already; If you
Jump and run every time he hollers
and fetch and carry whenever he com
mands; if. when lie gets old ouough to
understand, you talk about how sweet
he is aud how smart he Is right before
his face; if you pet him and coddle
him all the time and feed him things
he's got no business to eat just be
cause he wants them, he's pretty cer
tain to turn out a prig that'll have as
many friends as
u sheep stcnlin*
cur and be alnmt
as much use to
society. Maybe
you've wondered
why the woods
are full of just
such people.
Well, that's the
reason. If I had
a chance to be
born again and
was given in y
choice between
that kind of a
mother and no
mother at all I'd
, say, sive me au v
orphan asylum. "DON TO shot AT

i et somo or
the sweetest and best woraon Got)
ever made make that very mistake,
atul the fuuny part about it Is that
they dou't know It aud their boys
don't know it. But everybody else
does.
"There's nuother way of not lettln'
Vm alone, and that's hoppln' around
all the time. like a hen on a hot grid
dle. hollerln' 'don't.' That's the mother
with the overheated conscience who's
got a stern duty to perform and raises
her boys with a plumb line aud a ham
mer. She believes, like the poet, in
bewln' to the line uo matter where the
chips fall, but the trouble Is that most
of the chips hit the boy. She's got her
eagle eye fixed on him every minute
of the day, and every time he turns
around there's a 'don't' shot at him un
til he's afraid to do anything at all.
And the chances are that he never will
do anything worth mentlonin', for If
I the habit once gets fixed it's pretty apt
to stay through life, t know lots of
meu who don't amount to a row of
pins because they're afralil of makln'
u mistake, and I'll bet a whole lot that
most of them owe their dispositions to
the way their mothers trained them.
"No. little girl. If you want to make a
man of that boy give him a flghtln'
chance to develop accordlu' to nature's
plans and specifications. You've heard
the old sayln' that the Lord takes caro
of drunken men and little children. I
have my doubts about the drunken
men; 1 think It's another party that
looks after them. But there's no mls
tako about the children, and If 1 was
goln' to write a prescription for the
makln' of a man I'd put down twenty
parts good example, ten parts good
advice, twenty parts love aud fifty
parts trust In Providence. If you're
rldln' a thoroughbred horso you don't
want to use spurs or whip, and you
don't need to touch the rein except to
guide him. It's the same way with
that youngster there. He's got good
blood iu him, and all you've got to do
, Is to keep him In tho middle of the
road, aud uature 'II do the rest. You
IN THE Mll'DLK OF TRE ROAD.
and William have got first to sot the
right kind of an example. You can't
be much of a guide unless you know
I be route; you can't expect blm to be
truthful If you tell flbs; you can't ex
pect blm to be honest If you look out
the car window when the conductor
I comes by; you can't expect him to be
honorable unless you are honorable,
not only In your dentin's with him,
but with others. It takes a mighty
little preachln', but a whole lot of prac
tlcln', to raise a boy right.
"You'll have to remember, honey,
that the boy dou't know the road.
Once In awhile you'll have to give the
rein a little pull to the right or the
left to keep him from strayln' off at
the forks, and now and then you'll
need to check him up from goln' Into
mudholes or stuinblln' on rocks, but
that's about all. You're bis guide, you
must understand, not his driver. About
every so often he'll come to a fork
j where the left hand road 'II look to
him lots more attractive than the right
hand one, and theu you'll have to ex
plain the difference. You'll have to
show him that the main thing to know
about a road is where It's goln' to
wind up. Put It up to his Intelligence
and he'll go the right way nine times
EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE.
out of teu, but If you try to club hliu
into goln' that way It's ten chances
to one that he Jumps the track and
cuts across the fields.
"That's about the long and short of
It, little girl. It's an easy matter to
make a man of a boy If you just keep
lilm headed the right way and let him
develop as the good Lord wills. Look
at him now. will you? Makln' googoo
?>yes at his graudduddy. Most remark
able child I ever saw."
The Gentle Cynic.
No man Is so busy that he hasn l
time to make a few enemies.
It's the chronic kicker who always
wants something to boot.
The truth Is more apt to suffer from
lack of circulation than a lie. N
The pinnacle of fame Is no place for
the man who likes lots of company.
Even the man who likes to be at the
top of tho heap doesn't prefer an up
per berth In a sleeping car.
After all, it is better to be damned
with faint, praise than to be damned
with none.
When it comes to the sticking point,
some people have a porous plaster
beaten to n frazzle.
The fellow who stays up all night
Isn't the one who wakes up and finds
himself famous.
All work and no play is apt to dls
i courage the budding dramatist.
Few meu are really as big as their
own opinions of themselves.
j The aeronaut may be a high flier In |
more ways than one.
When a fellow says, "I pledge you
my word," It do*?sn't go In a pawn
shop.
There are people who believe every
thing they hear and a lot they don't.
When a girl gets married she Is apt
to regret that the church organ Isn't
a brass band.
The fact that every rose has its
thorn shouldn't prejudice us against
the sweets of life.
It's all right to hope for the best, but
the fellow who spends |U his time
. hoping will never get It,
Sis.
A Follow Named Marty.
John Stetson, the famous old the
atrical manager of Boston, was n man
of great native ability, but his early
education lind been somewhat neglect
ed, and the go-as-you-please fashion
In which he handled the king's Eng
lish was continually horrifying his
?punctilious fellow townsnieu. On one
occasion he was Interested In the or
ganization of a light opera company
and was disappointed to hear that a
certain popular prima donna whom he
hoped to secure was about to start
south.
"I've signed a contract for Mardl
Gras," she said, "to sing In New Or
leans."
"Hub!" grunted Mr. Stetson. "Hope
you get your money." Later on he re
ported the matter to his partner.
"Well, v'e can't get her," he said.
"She's gone and Joined a fake Grau
opera company."
"Which CJrau is running the show?"
asked the other.
"A fellow named Marty," replied Mr.
Stetson. "Vou know Maurice Grau
has about 200 second cousins, and this
must be one that's Just gone Into the
business."

After Other Treatment Failed ?
Eczema in Raw Spot on Baby
Boy's Face Lasted for Months
Cried with Pain when Washed.
ECZEMA WAS CURED AND
HAS NEVER REAPPEARED
"Our baby boy broke out with
eczema on his face when one month
old. Ono place on the side of his faco
tho size of a nickel was raw like beef
steak for three months, and he would
cry out when I bathed the parts that
were sore and broken out. I gave him
three months' treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end of that time tho
child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well
and his faco was as smooth as any
baby's. He is now two years and a
half old and no eczema has reappeared.
1 am still using tho Cuticura Soap; I
think it is tho finest toilet soap I over
used. I keep my little girl's lmir and
face cleansed with it too. I ain bo
