When the daily recitations in arith,
xn•etle were about to close, the teacher
always gave a test problem to see how
well the glees remembered past lessons,
One evening, of the fifteen boys in the
olass, Martin White waa the only one
who had an incorrect answer, ,
1 don't see any need of being so
('particular, said. Martin, sullenly, as he
looked at the ono marked figure. I'll
lose my place in a game of ball just
because one.figure was wrong.
The teacher talked to him very kind-
ly about how careless he had •been
lately in preparing his lessons,and'how
* he' was harming himself by allowing
such a bad habit to grow, He correct.,
ed 'his mistake and walked away with
angry thoughts toward the patient
teacher.
I'm not a man yet, he thought,
.When I am I will be more careful in
my accounts than I am with these silly
little sums.
' The boys were having a fine game
of ball, but there was no room for him;
and it was not Often his mother gave
him permission for a game after school'
It was no pleasure to stand and watch
them, and be teased for having been
# kept after school ; so he soon hurried"
home, growing angrier every moment,
and rushed into his mother's room,
exclaiming ; That hateful teacher kept
me just because one figure was wrong
on my slate.
:Then, surprised at his mother's pale
face, he paused as sue motioned to him
to sit down on the sofa beside her.
You must not speak so of,your teach•
/kr, she said. Your hasty words, one
figure wrong, bring up afresh today's
' trouble. I had not meant to tell you,
for 1 would shield you from every un-
necessilry sorrow. You know how
much you love your Uncle Jamie. To=
day ----
What is it, mother? Has anything'
happened to him 2 asked Martin, as
his mother's tears fell on the hand in
hers. He has lost his employer thous.
1. ands of dollars by careless book-keeping
and Iies in gaol until his father can
make things right. He has been ars
rested for robbery, for such it appear,
to be to those who have trusted him.
But his despatch to me was : Sister, it
is only one of my careless mistakes in
.y hanging bills. I will work till every
ollar is restored, if you can help me
out of gaol. I used to talk to him
about, his• lessons, and he• would say
thoughtlessly: Only one figure wrong.
Please let me never hear it again, from
my boy's lips. As the boy in the
schoolroom, so will the man be in busi.
ness.
Ili 1,try to do better, mother, indeed
I. will, 'wpm the earnest reply. And he
meant what the,
his 'teacher
was surprised at the 'a:esprate_and
careful *ay in which: he prepfireu his
.1 essons. Instead of only one .figure'
wrong, he took for his watchward:l'
Every figure must be right.

No.
Then you can't eat here. I fed a
feller last spring that parted his haiic
in the middle and had that same brand
ou his face that you've got, and he
hoodooecl my hotel for a mouth. They's
a halfbreed runs a feed trough farther
down the street. Guess he will take
you in—he don't know better—but,by
