EMERSON, Traffic M*n A Lesson In Humility How Little Johnnie Got a Lot of False Pride Out of His System From "IM ten M om a Seif Made tier ? chant to IU$ Son," by Qetnge Uotxicf JjOtHmer, liy permUston of Small, May iiard d- Co., Publtehen, Jlotlon 0 - -? I never see one of these fellows well ing around with their potty larceny pride that I don't think of a Uttlo ex perience of ml no when I wns a boy. An old fellow caught mo lifting a water melon in his patch one afternoon, and instead of culling me and lotting mo go, as I had expected If I got caught, ho led me home by the ear to my ma and told her what I hnd been up to. Your grnndmn had been raised on tho old fashioned plan, and sho had never heard cf these newfangled theories of reasoning gently with a child till its under Hp begins to stick out and its eyes to fill with tears as It Bees tho er ror of Us ways. She fetched tho tears all right, but she did it with n trunk strap or a slipper. And your grandma was n pretty substantial woman. Noth ing of tho tootsy wootsy about hor foot and nothing of tho airy fairy trifle about her slipper. When sho was through I knew that I'd been licked? polished right off to a point?and then she sent me to my room aud told me not to poko my nose out of It till I could recite tho Ten Commandments and the Sunday school lesson by heart. Thero was a whole chapter of it, and an Old Testament chapter at that, but 1 laid right into It because I know ma, nnd supper was only two hours off. I can repent that chapter still, forward and backward, without missing a word or stopplu? to catch my breath. Every now and then old D?* Hoover UBed to come into the Su. ay school room nnd senro tho scholars Into fits by going around from olnss to class nnd uskiug questions. That next Sun day, for the first time, I was glad to soe him happen in, nnd I didn't try to escape attention when ho .worked around to our class. For ten minutes I'd been busting for him to nek me to recite a verse of the losson, and when ho did I. simply cut loose and recited tho whole chapter and threw In tho Ten Commandments for good measure. It sort of dazed the Doc, because ho had come to me for Information about the Old Testament before, nnd wo'd never got much beyond "And Ahnb begat Jnhab," or words to that effect. But when ho got over the shock he made me stand right up before the whole school nnd do It ngnin. Tatted mo on the head and snld I was "an honor to my parents and an example to my playmates." I had been looking down all the time, feeling mighty proud nnd scared, but at that I couldn't help glancing up to see the other boys admire me. But tho first person my eye lit on was your grandma, standing in tho back of tho room, where she had stopped for a mo ment on her way up to church, and glaring nt me in a mighty unpleasant way. "Tell 'em, John," sho snld right out loud before everybody. Then? was no way to run, for the elder had hold of my hand, nnd there was no place to hide, though I reckon I could hnve crawled Into a rat hole. So, to gain time, I blurted out: "Tell 'em what, mam?" "Tell 'em how you come to have your lesson so nice." I learned to'hate notoriety right then and thero, but I knew thero was no switching her off ou to the weather when she wanted to talk religion. So I shut my eyes and let It come, though It caught on my palate once or twice on the way out. "Hooked a watermelon, mam." Thero wasn't any need for further particulars with that crowd, and they simply howled. Ma led me up to our pew, allowing that she'd tend to mo Monday for disgracing her in public that way?and she did. That was a twelve grain dose with out any sugar coat, but it sweat more cant and false pride out of my system than I could get back into It for the next twenty years. I loaruod right there how to bo bumble, which is a heap more important than knowing how to be proud. There nre mighty few men that need any lessons in that. PLAY AND PIE iBoth Good, but It Itn'l WUe <o MeAo ?l Me*l of Either Of course all this Is going to take so much time and thought that you won't have n very wide margin loft for golf especially In the afternoons. I simply mention this in passing, because I see in tho Chicago papers which havo been sent mo that yon wore among the play ers on tho links one afternoon a fort night ago. Qolf's a nice, foolish game and thero ain't any harm in It so far as I know exeept for the balls?tho stiff balls at the beginning, the lost balls in the middle and the highballs at the end of tho game. But a young fellow who wants to be a boss butcher hasn't much daylight to waste on any kind of links except sausage links. Of course a man should have a cer tain amount of play, Just as a boy Is entitled to n piece of pie at tho end of his dinner, but bo don't want to mako a meal of It. Any ono who lots sinkers take the place of bread and meat gets bilious pretty young, and these fellows who haven't any Job except to blow the old man's dollars are a good deal like the little niggers in the pie eating con tost at the county fair?thcy'vo a-plen ty of pastry and they're attracting a heap of attention, but they've got n stomach ache coming to them by and by.?From "Lotters From a Serf Made Merchant to His Son," by George Hor ace Lorimer. Something Re Mud For?oHoa. "So you enjoyed your continental trip, did you?" Inquired the simple old gentleman. "I haven't been over in fifty years, but my recollections nro ?till vivid. I remember onco standing on Mont Blanc, watching tho sun sink behind the blno waters of the Mediter ranean, while to my right the noblo Rhino rushed onward to tho Black sen, and tho Pyrenees, still holding tho enows of winter, were on tho left. I remember whilo standing there"? "But, Mr. Grey," feebly interrupted his listener, "I was on Mont Blano myself, and really?you'll excuse me? but you really must be mistaken in your geography." t "Mistaken)" returned the old man lightly. "Not a bit of it. But I for got; it's different now. Yon know, my dear boy, that since my day the entire mnp of Europe has been changed by theso awful wars, and so of course you can't appreciate what It was fif ty years ago." [ AN OLD FAVORITE ANNIE LAURIE THIS song was originally written by William Douglas of Finnland, Scotland, In tlio eighteenth century. Thero aro several versions, tho one given below being greatly Anglicized and modernized. Thu orig inal Annie Luurlo was a beautiful Scotswoman of the end of the sev enteenth century. ?4> AXWELTON braes aro bonnlo Where early fa's the dew, And It's there that Annie Laurlo Qle'd me her promise true; Qle'd mo her promise truo, ?Which ne'er forgot will be; And for bonnlo Annie Laurlo I'd lay me douno and deo.
