Such a course of action la beneath the i dignity of an upright and honorable man | or bovhood. In view of this the two buys that enrne" to blowa o day or two , •go. after very uncomplimentary wor.is , bad been passed between them, was- a very foolish procedure and tended to bring both juveniles into disrepute. As . the boys do not Hve far away, their names ■ nre wfihhcld. But don't men do just about this way when lliey can't sec eye ' to eye. It soon comes lo "you ire another" business, and from this Parties ■ become enemies for life. The bova soon I get over tbdr quarrels, thus showing ' themselves wiser than their elders. It is lust as easy to say "excuse me" but isn't i it lh!a.way. or "1 Iwg pardon, am't you , mistaken." as to blurt out, "that's not so." , to Hurt out,
