W hy d we have these strong, vig orous impulses, these divine vis ions of splendid possibilities? Why do they come to us with such rapidity and vigor, such vividness and suddenness! It is lecause it is intended that we should use them while fresh, execute them while the inclination i-. hot. Our ideas, our visions are like the manna of the wilderness, which the Israelites were obliged to gather fresh every day. If they undertook to hoard it, it be came stale, the nourishment evapo rated, the life went out of it. Thev could not use old manna.

The putting-off habit will kill the strongest initiative. Too moch caution and lack of confidence are fatal enemies of initiative. How much easier it is to do a thing . : - i when the purpose impels us, when enthusiasm carries us along, than when everything drags in the post ponement! One is drugery, the other delight- Hungtring and striving aftej knowledge is what makes a scholar; hungering and striving after virtue is what makes a saint: hungering and striving after action is what makes a hero and a man. The great successes we see everywhere are hut the realization of an intense longing, a concentrated effort. Everybody is gravitating tdward his aim just: in proportion to the power and intensity of his desire, ami his struggle to realize it. One merely "desires" to do this or that, or "wishes" he could, or "would be glad" if he could. An other knows lierfectly well that, if he lives he is going to do the thing he sets his heart on if it is within the limits of human iwi bility. We do not hear him whin ing Ijecause nobody will pay his to college. He does not say he "wishes" he could go. He says, "I am going to preare myself for a great life-work. I have faith in my future. I have made a vow to myself to succeed, and I am going to do so on a broad-gauge plan. I am not going to start out half equipied, half fitted." When you find a boy who re solves within himself that, come what will, he is going to do the thing he sets his heart on, and that there are no "ifs" or "buts" or "amis" aliout it, you may be sure he is made of winning stuff. How do you approach a difficul ty if lo you hesitate before it, dread it, ixxstKne it, dawdle over it if Are you afraid of it? Do vou go to it with an apologetic, doubtful "Will do if I can," or "Will try-attitude? Or do you approach it with an unH inching determination, and the conscious ness of mastery? A great aim is a powerful pro tection to a youth. It frees him from multitudes of temptations which otherwise would be likely to sweep him into the vice current. A man with an overmastering puriose is a great elevating, ener gizing iower in a community. People know better than to try to waste his time or trifle with him. His uroiectile force shows them that he is dead in eannest, that he has an object in life, and that he purjioses to gain it. His face is set like a Hint towards his aim. Obstacles melt lefore such a pur ose. Tlie power of a mighty purpose to clear up a cloudy, misty life, to scatter the fogs, and to oicn up a way when there seems to lc none, is a daily miracle. We see it il lustrated everywhere. There is something about stead iness of punose, nlxnit sticking to one's aim, and working by a fixed programme, that steadies all forces of one's character and buttresses the jiower to achieve. The Antagonizing Period. (Every thing.) Richmond comes to the front with oTTe of those calf-brain affairs a case of where a young man old enough to know lietter tried to kill the girl he thought he loved because, she threw him. Failing to kill her he turned the pistol on himself and, unluckily,' escajied death. Whenever we read of a fool who wants to kill the woman he prof esses to love it occurrs to us that a guardian should le ap jiointcd. The man who loves a woman will light for her, will lie for her will Jie for her. and there is no way around it. init tlie cub who wants to kill her if she, refuses to marry him, and who is willing in his desjeration, to kill himself, is a weakling, a liar and coward. He should Iks allow to shoot away at himself until he accomplishes the result. . Generally shaking these emo tional lovers are warmed over. They will soon forget, and when a woman hears a man threaten to kill himself if "she refuses to wed him, the best thing she can do is to see to it that he shoots. Hut if he threatens, in the meantime, to kill her, she should bo ready with a jiolice call and have him arrested for attempting at murder. Adov er's quarrel and a sapling vho wants to shoot is not to be con sidered in the same class. Advice to the Court. Uncle Kph was before the court nn thA same old charge.

I Ie could ha :e made the same statement had he thrown on the screen familiar scensof pala tail parlors on Fifth Ave. Gam bling is gambling whether the gambler appears in rags or rich raiment, live on the llowery or the boulevard. Tlie boy who gam bles or who sees gambling in the slum or the suburb, in the city or the country, is robbed of the fun damental conception of social wel fare. Selfishness, the essence of gambling, is at the core of all so cial disorder. The boy who grows up into that citizenship, the center of which is selfishness, whether he live in the slum or theuburb, is a dangerous memljer of society. The gambling spirit is world wide and age wide, in many forms and many degrees, from "base ment den" to Monte Carlo, from "pitch pennies" on Halsted St. to pitching millions on Wall St. A boy will often gamble who would not touch a cigarette, al though in their aggravated forms these two are Siamese twins. The harm of it all does not enter his mind. Every boy at some time in his travels through the land of boydom is a prospector, a risker, a gambler. It is for the home to i ,l I .Ml say wneiner ne win pass smv through this period and go on to a life of industry and honor or be- i i i i come lazy anu leecn nis way through life The most discour aging thing about it all is that he often gets his start at home or at some church fair. The serious ouestion in view of the lioy's so cial welfare is this, Will the home light or foster this evil? ViriOUS J.rTEKATURE. Vicious literature, in the form of the "penny (ireauiui, oin- iii board, or ii : i i .... t-li " counterteracts the teaching of many good homes by poisoning the mind of the boy, inflaming his pas- i . r 1 I ..:... sions, and vmaiing nis wuowvicw of life. Kvery parent who has his welfare of his Ijoys at heart will protest most vigorously against the vile stuff and seek proper men and measures for its destruction. He will do more; hie will see. that good, wholesome standard, books adapted to the age and activity of boys be put into the home -and public librarie?s. Great care should le used in the selection of books for boys. Boy specialists rather than liooksellers should le consulted. Good iieople often wonder .why good boys do not read -good lxxks in the average Sunday-school library. One boy gave the answer by saying cop cerning a book, "It's no good 'cause it tells of a sissy kid what died and went to heaven. The normal red-blooded loy wants neither the book which tells of the "gqody-goody" boy, nor of the boy who gets rich quick.' While all' immoral books are bad, riot all bad lxxks are immoral. The bad book is worse than a bad companion. A bad compan ion may move away or die, but the evil book abides and works like hidden leaven. Slum boys and stable boys are not the only ones who pursue the poisoned page. The country boy and city bov, rich boy and poor boy are all liable to infection. - If the. attics of "brown stone fronts" could all at once become vocal with the se crets they hold, a San Francisco shock would startle the inditfer nnce of some of the best parents. YVhatsort of a citizen the loy will make depends largely on the books he reads, certainly on the ideals he ,forms. No lioy will live hotter than his ideals. To look through the pages of a lxxk into a world of corrupt morals is to live on the same plane. .
