The devil not only finds things j for idle hands to do, but he finds i thoughts for idle brains to think and words for idle tongues to "* say. All of the vices of childhood are nourished in idleness, and almost anything that prevents the idleness will also pre- ( vent the vice, It is the fact that . our citv children, at present time. 1 have nothing to do in the time when they are not in school, 1 that makes the play-ground problem the great problem that it is. The habit of idleness, for men i in youth, grows naturally in the adult into loaiing and all that ^ series of crimes that are attendant thereto. "The boy without 1 a playground is father to the J man without a job," and the j man who is not willing to work, finds it necessary to make his j living in some easier way, which 1 can only come through begging, t gambling, stealing, or some other illegitimate method. 1 Suckers When a boy we used to go down to the creek and hunt a place where the water had overflowed and filled a depression, get into the hole and stir the mud until the fish would have to come to the top in search of clearer water, and then we'd catch the suckers. Watch the politicians attempt to muddv wa ters this summer in an effort to catch suckers.?Gaffney Ledger.
