Guiana was seized by Great Britain in
1869, but was ceded back to Holland in
exchai ge for the Dutch settlement of
New Amsterdam, now New York. IN
1903 the province of British Guiana was
acquired by England, but was not for
mally ceded by Holland until 1914. The
territory given up by the Dutch govern

rara, Berbice and Esequibo, the river of

boundary between Guiana and Vene-

accurately established. and this fact is

The superior wisdom of the feminine
mind is shown in the fact that the
mother never rebels against her daugh-
ter's guidance. She is the first to dis
cover the young woman's wisdom and
she enjoys the security and sense of res:
which comes from feeling that she has
some one to depend upon, some one to
think and plan for her. She regards it
as providential that as the husband of
her youth grows careless, as his judg
ment becomes Enthusiastically as tode-
tails, as he grows inclined to shirk the
little questions which arise in the con-
duct of the household, the daughter
quite naturally takes up the neglected.
duties, and assumes the management
of the affairs Of course il is often diff
cult for the mother to live up to the
course the daughter marks out. She
sometimes finds herself deficient in the
strength or wisdom the daughter ex
pects from her. But this is not real
trouble, for under it all is the COM
forting sense of being guided by "a
strong will, the sense of being free from
responsibility for the social and do
mestic welfare of the family, filling
the young woman's soul with satisfac-
ton, fattering her with the conscious
ness of her great usefulness, making
her realize her Importance in the world.

DIDN'T GET WHAT SHE WANTED.
Rout of a Young Woman Who Undertook
TO Squelch a Grocer's Clerk


to Squelch a Grocer's Clerk.
Two pretty young women entered a
large uptown grocery one evening.
From their conversation it was evident
that they belonged to some boarding
school in the neighborhood, and had
stolen out for a few moments to buy
dainties which they meant to smuggle
to their rooms.
There's one thing don't like about
the clerks in this store" said one of
them, while they waited for the sales
man, land that's the way they insist
on telling you that you don't want what
you do want and that you do want what
you don't want Every time come in
here / have the same experience, and
I'm just tired of it. The next time it
happens I'm going to tell the clerk
Just what think of him"
AT that moment a clerk approached
and asked the young women what they
wanted. The one who had so much tc
complain about pointed at one of 8
row of cracker tins and said:
II want pound of those"
''Oh, no, you DON'T" said the clerk,
suavely, you want some of these, or
these here; they re all very nice"
The young woman threw a glance
which said: what did tell you?'' at
her companion, and turning 10 the
clerk, said fiercely:
mo, | don't, anything of the kind.
Iwant these and no others"
II beg your pardon" he began. Il
thought"
"Never mind what you thought" said
the young woman. II guess l know
what l want. Now, just let me have a
pound of those, please" and she turned
to her companion with o look of tri-
umph on her face, which plainly meant:
''Didn't l squelch him?"
Every well, madam" said the clerk,
humbly, but may | ask whether they
are for yourself?"
well, of all the impertinent ques-
tons" began the young woman, when
heI companion interrupted, and, turn
ing to the clerk, said:
"Why do you ask?"
"0h, because they're dog biscuit, )" re-
piled the clerk, indiiferentIy "Still, of
course, if you want them you can have
them"
"Never mind" faltered the young
woman who had insisted on having
what she wanted. II guess l don't
want anything at all" and she strutted
out of the store looking very much
ashamed and followed by her compan-
ion, who was struggling to hide her
laughter.
The clerk didn't say anything, but
there was n satisfied smile on his face
as he banged the cover down on the
can of dog biscuit and walked away
to wait on another customer.-N. Y.

Parents too often forget that they
were once young and liked amusement.
A mother of my acquaintance, with a
house full of young people, is shining
instance of one who remembers.
She lately gave a unique party, which
was most successful affair. The invi-
tations were sent by little Chinese and
Japanese dolls, of the kind sold ON the
street at two for five cents. which are
already dressed in gay oriental gar
ments of paper. In the sash tiny en-
velGpe was thrust, addressed to the per-
son to whom the doll was sent and con-
tanning an invitation TO a doll party, the
receiver being requested 10 come in a

the evening was a row of paper dolls,

our CITIES SAVED BY RUSSIA



Two interesting and significant
stories were told in the Brooklyn navy
yard the other day which have a special
bearing on events now in progress OF
development. The first relates TO the
young German emperor. who made sew
eral visits to the white squadron when
il was at Kiel
One day he was talking with cele-
brated American captain.
Captain" said he. II see that most of
your country's warships are fast cruis-
ers. What do you call them. alb. COM
merce destroyers, do you not?"
Eyes, emperor" said the American.
We've been watching you on this
side" the emperor went on, "and we
have come to the conclusion that these
ships are built for war with England.
What other nation has any commerce
to destroy?"
There was a silence after this, for our
captain had said more than he intended.
Grand Duke Alexis. who is full Rus
sian admiral and the head of the Rus
sian navy, was also & frequent visitor TO
the Americans at Kiel. One day. watch
ing the Columbia, the grand duke said
to the captain:
I'm glad you Americans are rebuild
ing your fleet. Do you know what most
impressed me when | visited your coun-
try? The first thing was your wonder
full natural wealth and the second the
absolutely inadequate means at your
disposal for natural defense. Twice in
my career | have heard the project of
capturing one or two of your great
cities and holding them for ransom de-
liberately discussed by officers of Eu-
ropean fleets whose coun tries had hard
work 20 make ends meet. And they
meant il, too, but they were told that

a d1mesticated animal. and having be-
come the companion OF mankind, he had
learned to lie.

would invariably lift the little feather
duster. Then Ponto would drop his
treacherous head. His tail would stink
between, his legs and adhere to his quiv-
ering belly, while the ball would fall
from his nerveless jaws. As he looked
at me he would say: lis ii possible that
YOU are 50 ruthless, so unforgiving?
DO you never pardon?"
Weeks passed, and had not yet par
doned Ponto. But he was interchangeable
in his attemps to win ne over. So one
morning, when he came 10 me again,
and when 1 seized the little feather
buster and poor PontO was about to
withdraw, said to him:
Look, Ponto." quoth 1, look upon
this for the last time. Thus perishes
the only token of your FAULT" and /
hurled the feather buster into the fire.
Ponto carefully watched the feather
buster burn. Then, without any hys-
teric manifestations of Joy, without
leaps or skips, but nobly, simply, with
dignity, he came and proifered his paw.
The crime was forgotten. We were
friends again.
Ponto was glad that he had been for
given. But he was not nearly so glad as
i that had forgiven him.-Argonaut,
from the French.
