A.~My boy, I wish you could see yourself as you will look to the man you will some day be, You will see a foolish boy, with the dis- ease called “falling In love,” wast- ing his time over a foollah girl, who should be reported to the juvenile court for not being at home out of school hours. The feeling you have ta not love, but a counterfeit. of it, combined | with hateful jealousy of the other jboys. Attend strictly to business and make a man of yourself, and let the girl absolutely alone.
