(FTOm the New York TTibune.)
Tie present understanding, perhaps alliance,
between Great Britain and Germany calls to
mind the interesting historical fact that almost
alone Of all powers in Europe those two have
never been at war with each other. Germany has
fought various others, and Great Britain has at
one time or another been at war with most other
powers but these two have never yet crossed
swords. The danger OF their ever doing so is now
greatly diminished

BABY CLARK
FOUND AT LAST
Carried to the Coun-
try by her Nurse.
WAS AT A FARM HOUSE
Was Identified by her Father.
Now in Custody of Her
Parents.

Marion Clark, the 2I-months
old infant kidnapped from her
parents, M. and Mrs. Arthur
Clark, of New York City, on
May 2Ist, was discovered two
miles south of Sloatsburg, viii
lage about eight miles from Gar
nersville, N. Y. yesterday morn
ing, June Ist. She was found
at the farm house of Charles
Youmans, and was ia the custo
dy of a Mrs. Jennie Wilson, who
took the baby to that place dur
ing the early part of last week.
Mrs. Wilson was accompanied
by her husband and stated to
Mrs. Yomans that she wanted
boatd for the little girl for the
summer.
AS soon as Deputy Sheriff
William Charleston learned of the
abduction, he, taking his clues
from pictures of the child and
the descriptions given him by
people who saw her, went to the
farm house of Charles Youmans
and found Mrs. Wilson, whom
he demanded the child from.
Mrs. Wilson was indignant
and claimed she knew nothing
whatever of the child.
The Deputy Sheriff produced
a warrant, arrested the woman
and demanded information as to
the whereabouts of the child. At
this Mrs. Wilson weakened and
made confession.
Marion Clark, the child, is in
good health. She has no hat and
her shoes show much rough
handling.
At $50 o'clock p. m, Arthur
Clark, the father of the abducted
baby, arrived and Immediately
identified the child found in the
custody of Mrs. Wilson, by Dep
uty Sheriff Charlston, as his lost
Marion.

The boy on the farm is not
always to be envied. He is often
Obliged to work early and late,
do the work OF any other hand,
and not receive any recoupense
whatever. This is plainly not
right, and it is not surprising
that so many leave the farm at
the FIRST opportunity in spite of
fathers and mothers entreaties.
The boy who is old enough
to do more than the chores, is
old enough to receive some re-
Enumeration in a money sense; IS
old enough to be allowed some
independence of thought and
action, and should have chance
1t you conscientiously feel
that you can not pay him In
money, give him an opportunity
to earn something some other
way.
Let him have a small plot of
ground to work for himself outs
side of the work he does for you
or let him raise poultry, and
not only let him do these things
but encourage him to earn lit
tie money which will be his
own, which will tend to show
him the value of money, and
will raise in him ambitions and
love of work.
Encourage him and help him
all you can. DO not grind him
down to a mere existence of SER
vitude. Remember that he has
his rights, even if he is your son,
and you owe him a good chance
even if you don't feel inclined
to pay him. 1t is a debt which
you owe him as a parent, and
for which there will be an &C
counting.
