Children In Crops-and Child- ren it is good manage- ; ment rather than good Tuck that bririgs good results. In children, the brightest boys and girls in school are those who have the right kind of reading at home. Pupils from such homes are easily distinguished from their compan- ions—their brains are more'active, their minds keener, their judgments more mature. This because they have a big advantage. History teaches-that the right kind of read- ing influences- the future of the child more than anything else. With such advantages in early life, such children have a better chance of becoming syccessful men and women. Children without these advantages fall behind and never catch up. The wrong kind of reading is like letting weeds grow. The Young Folks’ Library brings the right kind of interesting reading within the reach of every home at the very lowest cost. It has been tested and proved in over 70,000 American homes and it is the standard for growing boys and girls. It Costs You Nothing 1o find out about these wonderful books for boys and girls.

My mmd is never easy, for a dozen times a day you’d get our boss in trouble if you had your careless way! You wrote a check this morning in the place of Mr. Pen, and you wrote ‘One Hundred Dol- lars’ when you should have written ‘Ten’; ‘Jim Jenkins’ when you should have ertten ‘John.’ you wrote his name 'Twould have made him out a forger had I not been looking on! You dis- - regard my comforts, and you treat me as a joke—yet you always creep up closer when you find that you are broke!”’ - ‘“You’re a puppy in the manger,’’ Lead responded pointedly j ‘“‘you can neither write nor cipher, yet you interfere with me! You’re a knocker, pure and simple, and it’s time to call a halt; you ignore my every virtue, and you see my every fault!

Our machine’s oiled and greased; Golly we've got 'em fleeced, Down and out in the East, Townley proclaimed a beast— Land, how we've fought him!
