Simply this: he determined to take off the brakes and give his appetite and passions full reijn. lie had reached tne point where he nrooosed to resist the tciuptution to have whatever he wanted no longer. It is exactly at thin uoint that the poor boy has the advantage oyer the ncii boy. The latter is made strong bv resistance, and that is wiiere the blessing of solf-denial comes in. It is not pleasant. It calls lor strength awl . manhood ana it ileveliins those verv qualities We always regret to hear a young fellOW 8av: "'I OO not- pruu'ise iu go through this world on half rations.. Money was maae to spend, nnd I am going to have a trood time and eniov my money when I can." The boy who has reached this point has his own doom. It means a bleak and bar- 1011 mid niiiful old age if he ever liven to reach nld age. it means a profligate and worthless lite and tlibb.y moral m 11 s c I e s. Stinginess is worse than ex travagance, but a spirit of econo my on the part of the rising gen : era lion is the most needful les- sotis ol our day. To be able to resist is worth a great deal more than any amount of money. The bov who can sny no to his appe tite uiid is master ol his soul, he who cannot say this great world is nnsiely diift wood on the river, and tailure is written iarg; on the 1 ages of hi life. If ever in the history o! tins world the power of resistance needed to be culti vated it is today. We are on the brink of a financial abyss. The day of reckoning is coining fast. Our great financial nisi uuf.ons are not prosperous. It is hard for wage earners to iuaR.e en i meet. Why? Automobiles. II on ly those who were able to own machines fwould ride, no harm would come ol them, but the country is plastered with mort gages that never will be lifted be cause poor lolka are not able to resist the desire to fly over good rnn.ls at the rate of 30 miles an hour. We were told a few days nor of a blacksmith who by hard wnrk and economy hammered 87 000 on his anvil, and seized with the automobile craze bon-rht a machine for $3,000 and is spending $50 per month to maintain it.

What a pity it is that brightest hopes ure the ones that are sel dom realzed.

Hone is the alpha nnd omega of lile, love the best and noblest impulse within us nud wheu that dies we have butthei-hatter ed casket left which ouce impris ioned the jewel. Hone lives longer, except in rare instance, in women hearts than in men's, A man has no use for a blasted hope; he fl iugs it from him and lesolutely turns upon it. A woman hugs it to her bosom while there is a shred of it left and endeavors to make a root of its splinters aud waters it w ith her tears. There are earnest, true, beauti ful hopes, nud there are siren hopes that are but mockeries and cheats illusions that fade like vapors. The beautiful love of a woman is founded on the rock of hope. She hones her husband's affec tions will grow stronger, deeper she hopes she will have children to and who will love her and a staff to lean upon when the suu of her life is setting and the twilight of old ago is stealing up from the west, envelop ing its gloom. No life is so dreary and lonely that it should deay hope a rest-in- nlace withiu it portals. For next to love hope is the gift of the god. Laura Jaue Li boy Tone llowu. Jo4ge Clarke. The Chrouicle has some time la the distant past copied an artic- jle from the Monroe L'nquirer to the effect that snakes are alraid of cows and that cows are never bit leu by snakes.

Perhaps one of the oldest aud most widely known superstitions iu the South is connected with the Blue Jay. In colored "folk- lure" Hie Blue Jay "goes to de debil"once a week. The story runs that each week, on Friday, every Jay Bird takes a Btick in his bill and flies away to ueu with it. The supposition is that his safcanic majesty needs wood for his eternal fires, and it is abundantly supplied in this re markable manner. Knowing something at first hand "of thV character of the Blue Jay, I. do not find it hard to "swallow' the superstition Certainly the Blue Jav "bits at the feet" of the dev il or some equally as devilish frequenly. There is enough pure unadulterated meaness aoouj. him to lend color to the tale. If there were a bird reformatory b.i.btleKH the citzens of the air would commit the Blue Jay to it niiTl some of the "kinks" were removed from his character and disposition. We cannot close without recording the wish tnac so domestic and rollicking a fel low as the Jay is will some day be made to see the error of his wav, and will come in and "be good." Ex.
