Young at the Business.

General Howard was an invited guest at a dinner given by a boys’ patriotic club. “You. eat very well, my boy,” said the general to a doughty young trencherman. “If you love your flag as well as your dinner you’ll make a good patriot.” “Yes, sir,” said the boy; “but I’ve been practicing eating twelve years, and I ain’t owned a gun but six months.” —Success Magazine;
