' Ills boy calls it pure cussedness. t He is everything Ills boy shouldn't t be In both nttltude and action, and ' thrashes the lad for copying him. i "They never did that when I was a boy," Is his basis for all J judgments. ) He needs to leitrn that there Is ' very little dinner of boys going wrong when Dads go right uud I take their sons with them. t i .ic) re n. cliwloy.
