We ere always sorry foe a child
who is allowed to ksng around a pool
room. He Is Worse off than an or
phan for he may get Into aa orphan
age where pool rooms, rig.rettea aad
other poisonous things are strictly
prohibited. Sores times parents make

The managers of oar Reformatory
will toll you that many a boy finds
hie way there because he was toe
sraak to resist the temptation that
his own father and mother threw in
his pathway. Keep your boy at
home, friend, if you want to make a
man of him. Men cannot be made
of street walkers. Tho mother's apron

can bind the youth of Under years

BORROWING
Borrowing i« a habit delightfully
easy to acquire; in fact, moat con
firmed borrower* hardly need to eoem
to acquire it. The child of ten bor
row* a knife, or a sled, or a hockey
•tick, take* it home, forgot* to re
turn it, and forget* to apologise, Just
ai gayly an the octogenarian takes
home sn umbrella.
All torts of lifs in common ere
great breeder* of borrowing—especi
ally the life at hoarding school* and
college*. To take a friend’s hand
kerchief, er bet, or coat, or books,
or carefully stored dainties—can
them be a greater proof of friend
ship? It teems so intimato!
And the borrowing never stops.
Later on it seems more intimate to
a*k the km friend to endorse a
not* for $1,000. What a rode shock
to intimacy it ia if yuOr friend ven
ture* to refute!
The borrower always has a good
excuse. He has left hi* money st
home, or ha is ante to hero the mon
ey to pay you to-morrow; or the has
plenty of clothe* of her own, hut
nothing that suits the occasion so
wall as that fascinating littls scarf
nf yours. Excuses are tbs only thing
that nobody needs to borrow.
It is a dangerous, treacherous
habit. It i« a pestilent enemy to
friendship. Thar, always comas s'
Unto when the lender draws tbs sight
of the borrower; there always eomss
s time when the borrower tJrhk* tbs
lander cold, or unresponsive.
^^iofawa^gatron^bmnrewM^^llmse
They all declare that they are a*
ready to lend as they are to borrow,
and usually they are right—if they
have anything to lend. Borrowing
end improvidence are twin siatore
but they are eo nearly related to that
charming goddess, generosity, that
they are likely to borrow more of her
grace than they deserve. In reality,
as Chartoe Lamb remarked long age,
the world it divided Into borTOwe.it
and lenders, sad the lenders I*
obliged to have enough for them
selves and for tho others also. But
it take* self-denial, and forethought,
and prudence to accomplish that.
And then to h* called mean, as is th*
usual fate of the lender, is somewhat
hard.
For the permanent satisfaction of
'•-> it in better to belong to the lenn
in elate, and the way to Jo it la to be
gin young. The next time you ar*
tempted to borrow a nickel 'or a
telephone message or a car fare, g->
without. You will got mmo then
five cents worth of chem —er out oj
the effort.—The Youth's Companion.
Municipal pride all over the eo*re
try is committing the folly of ae
dnring the lailrnedi to erect colloe
aal and expensive terminal* which
may net add on* dollar to tha net
income of the properties the* im
posed upon. If the railway stock
holders ever awake to their rights,
they will nay to thee* city booster*:
"If you want a magnificent terminal
for yoor town put up the money far
it. Do not hull done the directors

locality to boast about. For
there anil noma time be an ond to
the patlry of pouring other people'*
money Into non-productive 'improve
