The new boy is a singularly piece

such a delicate creature that it is hard
to train him to do any work. He
can't stand discipline, and everything
and everybody has got to comply with
his wishes. The present boys father

took more pains not to be caught. He
ate every thing he could get hold of;
he had a bully good time, except for
brief intervals of correction, and he
was'nt bothered With any philosophy
of life. But his son is a different kind
of a boy. If the schoolmaster flogs
him he pulls out his gun and shoots
him. If his father sends him on an
errand he declares that he has been
humiliated and goes out in the barn
and hangs himself. If his mother
scolds him for coming in the house with
out wiping his feet he drinks carbolic
