Charles 0. Sullivan. Miscellaneous Shower. Osasre County Teachers' Phineas Poster's Plan. An Old fashioned man will denounced as au old fashioned crank writes the following mighty sensible st ry: A spoiled child indicates a wlfish parent.

The father who boss not correct the faults aud bod habits of his son handicaps Im future. The man may delude himself with the fool idea that he is too ten Jcr-Iieartsd to punjehthe boy but in reality he is too chioksnheartsd to punish his own maudlin senaibilites. When affection injures where it should help it is worthless. Youth is a period for guidance. Making the outset of life teo easy makes the end too hard.

Judgment is a matter of experience. The yaungsr generation cn only learn right from wrong through its elders. An unbroken oolt is not fit to run the kighways. is a danger himself nd all who move in ordsrly manner. He is certain to collide to hurt and to be hurt.

It ia a far graater kindness for a loving hand to la the rod on iaguided shoulders tUn to invite a later audJieavier punishmeat by an unprejudiced society. The bend can always be corrected in the sapling, bu not after it has grown into an oak. The only timber that oan pro. auce sound, stalwart, upright manhood is an obedient aud respectful boyhood. A ouddled child usually turns out to be a muddled man.

A rigorous youth generally promises a vieoroua maturity. Submission to author. ity is the shortest admission to au thority. Learning to obey teaches no command. A bad nnvitn nn not make a good captain.

No normal boy is instinctively bad, but a badly reared boy soon acquires abnormal instincts An ovsr-nidulgent father fails in himself, fails in his son and fails iu his oitizenship. Children who are taught to help and to heed and to honor require no other legacy to insure their future. A sense or appreciation is au incentive to effort. Unearned rewards dull the impulse to strive, To give nothing is far much better than to give too much. No great man ever sprang from a spoiled darling.

When old Phineas Foster brought his boy home from col lege he eet him to work iu the shop at the sarre bench und at tho same wages at which he himself began feurty years before. ''Here's vour place," he said, forget it. Th more yon overlook the fact that I am your father the less likley I am to remember it. Auythiag which I did is fit for you to follow. If you consider yourself adove the same labor that I endured you consider mo below you.

A eon who is ashamed of his parent is a shame lo his parent. He is filled with falsa pride, and makes a false man, Nothing is dishonorable whioh ia honorable. Don't become con. oeited because of your superior One of the eo called grooms, wbowrsat the City Hotel last week and the week before, and who gave his name as Robertson, turned out to be a forger. Robertson and another man, claimed to be eye specialists, and were working the town and surrounding oountrjr.

Friday night Robertson pnid his board and room rent for himself and wife with a draft on North Carolina bank for thirty dollars, and the amount he owed was twenty dollars, so Mis. Hercules, supposing the drart was all rignt, acetfted.it and gave him ten dollars in change. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson aud the ether man left town that night on train No.

116 for Topeka. Mra. Hercules didn't think much about what she had done until the next morning, so she took the draft to the bank and Mr. Robison told her he would have to send it to North Carolina before he could cash it and it would take several days to get au answer so Mra. Hercules told him to send a telegram, which did, and got the answer that afternoon stating that no one by that name had any money iu the bank.

Daring this time Robertson telephoned to Mrs. Hercules so she knew jie was in Topor a. As soon as the word was received that the draft wasn't any good, Wm. Jungmann began work on the oase ind notihVI the Topeka police but Robertson evaded them and made iris ftacapo. It is learned since that Robert son has a wife a.id two cuildreu in North Carolina and that the woman who was with nim wasn't his wife.

He is also wanted Pueblo, Colorado for forging a check. Spectacles Why should you buy spectacles from un-reli-able unlicenced and dishonest fakirs, when you can buy from a reliable registered optitian right here at home, at a reasonable price and guaranteed fit? When we sell you a pair of spectacles we let you try them for a week or ten days and if not entirely satisfactory return them and get your money back. Thisadif-ferent proposition from what the traveling fakir offers you, he gets your money and the next day disappears. If in need of spectacles give us a chanee to proye what we can do for you. W.
