Children.

Let children grow. Give them time
for slow and natural development. Give
them freedom and liberty in things not
positively and permanently hurtful
What matter IL all their daily behavior
is not quite pleasant or perfect, If they
show improvement and progress? Sow
good seed, anxious parent; cultivate
with care, but wait patiently for har-.
vest If you wish good fruit. Suppose a
child does not sit as straight as ram
rod at table; suppose a cup or tumbler
does slip through its little fingers, the
food below be deluged, and the table
cloth ruined-do not look cross, and
break out with reproof Of what was I'M
intended as IL 1t were willful wrong.
Did you never let glass slip through
your fingers? Instead of sending the
child away in anger or with threaten
ing words, why not be as generous as
to guest, to whom you would kindly
say, 1T Is Of no consequence" 1t is
generally wise to take little notice Of
mishaps orbad behavior a the time, and
even to divert attention from them at
the instant. Afterward, at some ap-
propriate time, draw the child's atten-
ton to the improperly, fault, or lack
Of suitable care, and point out kindly
the remedy.

WHISKY TRUST is BURIED.

Supreme Court of Illinois Declares
1t an Illegal Concern.
The Illinois Supreme Court Thursday
morning filed its opinion in case of the
people vs.. the Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing Company. The judgment of custer en-
tered by the lower court is affirmed. The
effect of this decision will be to break up
the whisky trust. Attorney General Mo-
loney, speaking of the decision, said the
Supreme Court practically holds that the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company
was a trust and that as such Judge Glib
bons of Chicago did right in pronouncing
judgment of civil death against 1t. The
Supreme Court also decided that the At
torney General was right in his views of
the law regarding the matter and that
the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Com
pany is no more than continuation of the
old Distillers' Cattle Feeding trust. "The
decision" he continued, lis one of the
ablest opinions ever delivered by the Su
preme Court of this State. In no uncer-
tain language it sounds the death-knell
of trusts in this State forever. On every
point on which made fight was sus-

are within short space Of the coveted
speed, but In such low figures fractions
are as big as pyramids.
Flying Jib, hitched with a running
mate, has paced the mile In 1854, but
this, while phenomenal performance,
does not count In these calculations, for
a team could not be used to the one
wheel sulky under any circumstances.
If, as IL is claimed, the one-wheel will
be as much faster over the ordinary BIZ
cycle sulky as that invention was over
the high-wheel type, a straight trotting
or pacing record under two minutes
may be expected.
The new sulky has pneumatic tire
wheel, with high seat resembling the
ordinary bicycle seat In its mechanism.
1t is attached by solid steel rods to the
shafts. The traces are short and the
shafts are given no play at all, so the
wheel will run smoothly and be as easy
to ride as an ordinary sulky. There is

In the third picture 1t will be seen

OF those that were mentioned In the
beginning of this depletion as being ap-
plicable to made-over dresses, but here
1t appears in new dress made of
dark-green cloth and Rob Roy silk

the skirts front panel extending into
the bodice. while the remainder forms
deep godets. Fitted ut the back, the
green fronts of the bodice are rather
baggy and are held at the waist by gold
buckles. The sleeves are very full at
the top, but fitted at the lower arm, and
the green collar is garnished with plaid
rosettes.

philanthropists should provide girls in
such Il uniform to walk up and down the
streets on hot days, just to make folks
feel cooler Extremely wide and swirly
skirts are rarely seen, for when a wo-
man in an attempt to be stylish makes
herself look like pen-wiper, she misses
her aim. Underskirts are all made in
balloon pattern and present swirling
symphony of lace and muslin to view
when the gown is tipped up, and also
to the wash woman when the skirt goes
to the laundry. For those who have in
the past delighted in the freedom that
the eton jacket affords, there has been
n drawback in the slit-like exposure Of
the skirt waist at the back. To meet
this a wide belt of the material of the

For a Rainy Day.

"See that little tot of a girl going
along there?" said the writer to a
friend the other day. "Well, sir, she
has just been to a savings bank to
make a deposit. This little girl, not
vet in her teens, has opened an account
in her own name, and already has SIS
standing to her credit"
Surely, here was splendid eS ample
for other little girls and boys. aid, for
that matter. some of the older ones,
too. She had been told by ner parents
what good thing 1t was to learn some
thing about the value of money and
the importance Of saving while young,
and, no matter how small the amount
might be. whether but penny day,
or every other day, or even a penny n
week, 1t was something, and that some
thing would, IL the little mite were kept
on being added to, together with the
interest that the bank would allow, be-
come a nice little sum by the time she
had grown to be young lady.
All this good talk captivated the little
girl, and In few days the little toy
bank with its contents was taken and
transferred to the big bank she had
heard about, and a nice little book was
made out In her name. and Mt her
school noon hour she had been seen
walking to the big bank to deposit her
mite. Perhaps, IL you are interested
enough to ask your parents what 1t
means to save money. and how fast 1t
accumulates In time. they will show
you some figures. and may be they VIII
surprise you. One thing more: What
this little girl Is doing is going to help
her on rainy day. DO you know what
that means?-New York Recorder.

The monetary condition also helps. The

foreign operations in stocks and bonds
have been insignificant, the effect of the

Separation Caused Amelia Reinhart
to Commit Suicide.
At San Jose. CAL, Amelia Heinholt
committed suicide by shooting herself
with airevolver. She was % years old

The cause for the deed was dependency,
resulting from prospective separation from
her roommate, Miss Gussie Munson, an
other employe'at the hotel. The woman
had attired herself in neat dress and,
then standing in the middle of the floor
of her sleeping room, shot herself. Miss
Reinholt had been in the employ of the
hotel about five months. Soon after COM
ing to work she took fancy to Miss Mum
son. This feeling grew upon her and she
was not long in openly declaring that she
loved her friend more than any one else.
