Character Lessons to Train Youth

, hy JAMES TERRY WHITE. (Copyright, 1309. by th Character Development League. XIIL-Self Control. ALMOST the first thing to be learned la Ufe is self control. Belt control Is having one's . faculties and especially one's Inclinations and emotions under the control of the will. Obedience Is the first evidence of moral growth, for the child can disobey; james T. wmn. i,aB chosen what has the moral sanction of authority. Obedience to authority is the foundation of all government, .'but moral . character requires obedience without authority obedience to the ideal within and that Is self control. Self control Is largely a matter of tho will, and serious determination Is needed to acquire it. It Is perhaps most Important to control one's temper, for that bears so directly upon the happiness of those a boat us. One should learn to control his tongue Profanity Is a vice for which there is no possible warrant or excuse. Editor Jordan says: "The second most deadly Instrument Is the dynamite gun; the first Is the human tongue. Tho. gun only kills the body, but the tongue kills reputation and ofttimes ruins character." One can attain self control In great things only through self control in little things. Strength of character consists of two thing power of will and power of self restraint. One of the best methods of strengthening will Iower, thereby gaining self control. Is by compelling oneself to do Instantly the thing we shrink from; as Jumping out of bed the moment one awakes or taking a cold shower bath. The practice of these two simple actions is a wonderful assistant to self control. If one wants to be well he must control his eating. Eating too much Is gluttony, and drinking too much of what Is intoxicating is Intemperance. Intemperance Is one of the most loathsome and contemptible habits one can fall Into, and It la due entirely to the lack of self control. There Is only one safe course for those who wish to grow Into successful and happy manhood, and that Is to touch nothing that will Intoxicate. It should be shunned ss a contagious disease. - So as regards the use of tobacco. If a boy wauta to grow up with all his faculties unimpaired he must let tobacco alone. Life Is of vastly more consequence then athletics, and yet when a boy goes Into athletics his trainer says. "Cut out cigarettes If you waut to make the team." And life enJoins the same rule if one would "make" a fine character. Self control gives pres?nce of mind, which enables one to Instantly decide new situations and new problems. No situation happens twice; there Is no next time. The self control In the dally round of school days will give self control all through life. A shipping merchant said to a boy applying for work, What can you do?" "I enn do my best to do what you are kind enough to let me try," replied the boy. "What have you done?" T have sawed and split my mother's wood for nearly two yesrs.' "What have you not doner "Well, sir," the boy replied after n moment's reflection, "I have not whispered In school for over a year." "That Is enough," said the merchant; "I will take you aboard my vessel, and I hope some day to see you captain. A boy who can master n wood pile and bridle his tongue must have good stuff In him." Practice. Let each child compel himself to keep silence when called names. Let him Jump out of bed the Instant he Is first awakened or called In the morning. Let him compel himself tc do every day some one thing he doe not want to do. When angry count twenty before answering. Literatur. jt .Th greatest hero la he who fights And vanquishes his ains. r Who strugKle on through weary yean I Against, himself and wins. -Unidentified. lie who reigns within himself anc rules passions, desires and 'fears i more than .a king. Milton. Receive your thoughts as guests, bu treat your desires as children. Chi nese Proverb. There is no easy method of learninr difficult things. The method ls-to closi the door, give out that you are not at home and work. Joseph de Malstre. He who cannot resist temptation ! not a man. He Is wanting In th highest attributes of humanity. Hor ace Mann. At each moment of a man's Ufe. ht Is either' a king or a slave. As be sir renders to a wrong appetite, to an; human weakness, to any failure, he 1 a stave. As he day by day crushes out human weakness, recreates a new self from the sin and folly of the past, then bVls a king. lie Is a king ruling with wisdom over himself. William G. Jor dan. -. When you have spoken the word It reigns over you. When It is unspoken you reign over It Arabic ProTerb. Conviction, were It never so excellent, is worthless till it converts itseli Into conduct Carlyle, - French Scots. There Is an ancient settlement of highland Soots, near Murray bay, on the Bt.

CLEVER SWHIDLER

CAUGHTjW POLICE Former Brilliant Pupil of the. Paris Conservatory, of Music and Acting. (American News Service) -rarls, February 18.

He has just been condemned to eighteen months imprisonment and banishment from France for a series of swindles which demanded considerable address and) no small audacity. His victims were always chosen In patrician cir cles. Among those on whom he call ed were the Duchess de Bellune, Duchess de Levls-Mirepolx, Baronne de Rotschild, Lady Pirbright and Baronne de Leonino. To these ladies he presented a let ter purporting to be signed by Bar onne de Grandmaison, or some other high-born person, in which the writer warmly recommended the faultlessly dressed M. de Giers (the name as sumed by Jayher), who was "solicit ing subscriptions for a young Russian lady pianist who had lost her sight M. de Giers, it was added, was organ izing a gala performance at the Opera, and tho baroness "felt sure her friends would do what they could to assist the unfortunate girl." Several of the ladies appealed to responded liberally, but some preferred to send their offerings direct to the person whose name the letter bore. It was this that led to the discovery of the swindle. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

Also a blue print of Taffs mind when Hitchcock refused to be removed with the too of a boot from the Republican National committee; a phonograph record showing long intervals of silence at Oyster Bay and measurements of a hole into which congress throws a billion dollars a year. When excitement ran the highest it was discovered the "spy" was Hobson the "Japanese war scare." The president attended but was not roasted and had a chance to enjoy the process as applied to other notables. WILL RESULTS IN TWO SUICIDES (American News Service) Wichita, Kan., Feb. 18.

110 FAT

CRIMItlALS

Says W. D. Quimby, President of New England Fat Men's Club. American News Fervlce) Boston, Feb. IS. If all men were fat, the divorce courts would soon go out of business. Fat men love their homes. Fat men make the best fathers. Criminals weighing more than 200 pounds are very few. Any man who Is good will necssarily add flesh. This eloquent defense of tho fat man, long the subject of the popular saying: : "Nobody loves a fat man" is from tho lips ot W. D. Quimby, pres-' ident of the New England Fat. Men's club. At a meeting of tho club offi cers he advocated the purchase of a tract of land in Massachusetts to be made into a fat man's paradise. Golf links, swimming pools, .baseball grounds, tennis courts and shady groves .with hammocks are a few of the features of t,he proposed paradise. In the course of the dinner which Quimby sprung his defense ot the fat man. 'If you consuit the criminal records," he said. " you wjll find that crime decreases in men in proportion with the number of pounds they weigh. Criminals weighing more than 200 pounds are rare., I venture to make the statement that there are no criminals weighing more than 250 pounds. - .'' "All this has a reason. Corpulency is the result of good and honest disposition. Any man who is right minded and good will - necessarily add flesh." ' - Transformation. A noble old ash in a forest grew.
