IN THE FRONT YARD. IS 



well off. He built a store to rent in a new town with 

 liis surplus money. But the boys had to grope their 

 way to bed on all fours in the garret of a dilapidated 

 sod house. Treat a boy like a dog and he will be one. 

 Give him a good room and have him take care of it 

 and he will be a gentleman instead of a rowdy. 



If possible he should have a shop with a good set of 

 tools ; not cheap gift affairs, but the best that money 

 can buy. 



The best room is none too good for the family. 

 They are as good as the company you receive. The 

 largest and best room is often kept for the guest. This 

 may be occupied a dozen times in a year and the father 

 and mother sleep in a small room. They need the best 

 and largest, and a guest can take up with a smaller 

 one. Better for him to stand it a short time than 

 that the weary ones should use it all the while. Have 

 a good, roomy kitchen with every possible convenience.
