They come in series. At the end of
n given enthrallment it is continued in
Ins next school session. The spells
begin early in his life and after awhile
he is likely to get the habit. Dr. For
bush says he is most subject to physi
cal ailments between eight and
twelve, and he spends those years bat
tling for his constitution. It may be
added that he is also beginning to
work out his by-laws. Spells of cardiac
trouble seem to begin about that time,
if memory is treating the writer of
these “Thoughts” fairly and honora
bly. Those spells are frequent and
fleeting, furious and funny. Mumps
and measles and whooping cough may
be evaded, as they have been by this
present writer, but this ailment cannot
be evaded except by some very rare
boys. The analogy breaks down at
one point: Those ailments seldom at
tack him more than once, and if they
do not succeed in dragging him off the
earth the first time they retire from
the field and leave him in possession,
sometimes with a few scars as souve
nirs of the struggle. But this trouble
never ceases to attack him and. in
stead of growing lighter, it grows more
severe each time.
The first sweetheart comes early,
and the next few come soon. The fam
ily do not, at first, suspect what is the
matter with the lad, his rapt and
tragic, though sometimes downcast,
air,’the far away look in his eye, the
preoccupied way in which he engages
in conversation. The truth is, the tini
est sort of arrow from Cupid’s quiver
has penetrated his cardiac region and
he is temporarily short on vivacity. It
lasts for only a little time, but is
frightfully exhausting while it is with
him. I suppose the matter of temper
ament determines the ways and de
grees In which ft manifests itself, but
the main features of it are the same in
all boys: The appetite falls off; a
philosophical tendency towards ab
straction manifests itself; a certain
canny way of comparing a certain girl
with other girls once in a while be
trays him. He likes to give that girl
things, a pencil, a red apple, anything,
and he likes to do things for her, fix
her skates, take her coasting, defend
her in some heroic way. He has a
slight nausea, followed by a militant
ambition, whenever he sees another
boy talking too freely with her.
At first he was alarmed about him
self and was not sure lie would ever
be permanently happy again, so
mournful was the delirious pleasure
and so allernating with pain. He
would write his name and hers to
gether and mark off the corresponding
letters In both. Those that were left
unmated he would count off, speaking
the formula, “friendship, iove, idolize,
hate," and that would indicate her
state of feeling toward him. It was a
serious time for him, all the way
through the first series, as Lulu and
Mary and Alice and others passed in
successive years before his enthralled
vision.
r.m
c
ii, must ne luwaru me ciuse in mis
series that he begins to make use of
the epistolary means of expression.
He has seldom done more than gaze
around to see if she is at school and
look over the top of his hook at her
and grin in his own fetching way and
use other indirect means of declaring
himself. Hut now he writes and prob
ably never sends the letter. Maybe he
does, and intrusts it to a faithful ally
among the boys. He is at the belliger
ent age and secretly wishes that he
could whip several boys, all on her ae- |
count, be a knight errant of the brave
days of old fighting for his lady's pro
tection or to win her smile. He is like
ly to express in the letter a willing
ness to protect her against all the
hots. When the letter, by a curious i
accident which never will be ex- '
plained, falls into the hands of another ■
boy, or his own older sister, and that '
sister enters into the affair, in a truly -
sisterly way, he suddenly feels as faint
as he did the time he went off behind
a tree and experimented with an old
cigar and got cured. Next he feels
resentment against the whole world
and makes the sudden discovery that
he does not care for "her" any way.
The charm is broken. He looks around i
and grins, just as he afterwards does :
when he takes laughing gas in «ho j'
chemistry class at college for dear old
Dr. John and suddenly “comes to," He
finds a joy in being free once more,
to do as the other boys and to go jn j1
about his important business, which
has been temporarily interrupted by ■
this affair of the hear*
Another series begins about 14 ir
j5. This is «not quite so incidental.
His chum helps him. The affair tan
gles itself up with school and voca ion ,
in life and all the unfolding ambitions.
This is in danger of becoming peima
nent, thereby ending the series, but it
does not usually do so. Some are
held in reserve for later emergencies.
Itut he has not been the loser, quite
the opposite. He haB been thinking
some noble thoughts and cherishing
some fine ideals that will bo built into
his life. He has been learning that
there are others, attractive and wor
thy. He has been getting ready for
other disappointments and emergencies
nnd, let ms hope, for a happy life with
the ouu of bU mature choice. _ j
EQUITY IN BUSINESS.
Practice of I ive-and-Let-Live Princi
ples Most Desirable.
Too frequently it is noticed that in
the struggle to attain wealth the
rights of the individual are ignored.
Fair dealing is a desirable thing as
well as most simple and it requires
only common honesty to practice it.
Not alone is there honesty involved
in the matter of selling but also in
the matter of buying. It is quite as
dishonorable for the purchaser to ex
act that the seller receive no profit on
an article sold as it is for the seller
to demand an exorbitant price for his
goods.
There is much sound philosophy in
the live-and-let-live gospel. This is
nothing more than an observance of
the Golden Rule that has found ex
pression in all ages of enlightenment
from the time of Gautama down to
the present. In every day dealings it
is apparent that there is too much of
exaggerated selfishness in evidence,
too great a struggle for the vantage.
There should be a spirit of Christian
cooperation that would be just to all
alike. Whole communities suffer
sometimes from the lack of this sense
of equity on the part of merchants
and their customers.
How often is the complaint heard in
rural districts that the storekeepers
of a town charge too high prices for
what they have to sell? How often is
it noticed that where this feeling dom
inates the people that the home
town suffers as a consequence? It is
short sightedness on parts of mer
chants to require of their customers
more than what may be considered a
legitimate and just profit. In fact, it
is poor business policy to follow out
a plan of thi^^ind. There are many
towns whose^frowth lias been pre
vented through a grasping tendency
of the merchants to make all they pos
sibly can in a few short years, and to
give the people as small an amount of
goods as they will take for their
money. The natural result of a poi
icy of this kind is that the people
seek other towns in which to do their
trading and quite often buy from the
distant mail-order house.
Habits once formed are hard to
break. It is quite as difficult for the
merchant to recover from the habit
of making exorbitant profits as it is
for the patron of the mail-order house
to turn his trade to the home stores.
Should both the merchants and their
customers calmly consider principles
that enter into commerce, and both
determine to practice equity in their
dealings, the merchant to sell honest
goods at honest profits and the cus
tomer to give patronage to merchants
who would practice this principle, it
would be wholesome not alone for
the home towns, but for all the com
munities.
Progress in Florida.
Gov. Broward, of the state of Flor
ida, is noted as an advocate of state
prohibition of the liquor traffic* A
Prohibition amendment w-as narrowly
defeated In the state legislature re
cently, being favored by 35 out of the
12 votes necessary for the enactment.
The vigorous campaign carried on by
temperance forces of this state has
placed it in the forefront of the states
enacting against the drink traffic.
County local option has been secured
in 27 out of the 45 counties of the
state.
Drink Taxation in Great Britain.
According to a recent statement of
the chancellor of the exchequer, the
average taxation per head In Great
Britain for alcoholic drink and licenses
is approximately 17s 7d on an esti
mated population of 43,643,00. The al
coholic strength of beer and wine
varies considerably and there are no
statistics, at present, of the quanti
ties at each degree of strength which
would admit of the number of gallons
of proof spirit being given with ac
curacy.

The sudden change from years of
ictivity of both body and mind to
he quiet of later years causes the
tuman system to undergo many
:hanges, chief of which is in the di
jestive organs.
It becomes harder and harder to get the
bowels to move promptly arul regular, y
ind in consequence many elderly men suf
rer not only from the basic touble. con
stipation, hut from Indigestion, headache,
belching, sour stomach, drowsiness after
eating and similar annoyances. It Is first
bf all necessary to keep the bowels open
Mid then to tone the digestive muscles si
is to get them to again do their work
naturally. A violent cathartic or purga
:ive Is not only unnecessary but harm
ful. and something mild will do the work
ust as well.
After you have got through experiment
ing with salts and pills and waters of
parlous kinds, and have become convinced
