Have You ever noticed how COM
pletely child from 10 to 15 years old

the New York Press. 1t is amusing to
see these little fathers %nd mothers
bulldoze and terrorize the children I'M
der their charge. Every day in the
downtown parks, out on the door,
steps of the houses on the East Side
where the poor classes live. you will
see scores of half-grown girls and
boys, each one In charge of brood
Of little ones, and don't they behave?
Well, rather. They sit as still as
mice; they eat their grub and laugh
at all big brother or big sister does.
and never howl till their sloppy moth
ers come back from the days work

to fill. But once in charge of the
mothers these American-born children
of the foreigner do nothing but howl.

night. No restraint is put upon these
children by their mothers. and the only
discipline they undergo Is at the hands
Of the big brothers and sisters. This
wonderful control Of the larger child
over the smaller not always Is con-
fned to the poorer classes. The writer
was returning to New York from At

At East Burlington young and pretty
girl leading little boy in kits came
into the car. She sat next the window.
OF course the little one protested and
asked TO sit by the window. Turning
to him, the little play mother said:
Nov you sit where YOU are and keep
still. DO not move and do not speak
loud word till we get to New York:
II you do will put you in charge of
the conductor" or course the child
had no idea what conductor was.
but the awful word proved the raw
head and bloody bones which kept him
still all the way to New York. When
he wanted anything he whispered. and
every little while. in an awed whisper,
he would ask: Where Is the conduc-
tori" Now II this child's mother had

the crosses on the marked ballot are
credited to the respective candidates
and the unmarked ballot Is returned

containing the greater number Of
marks is counted. AS result of the
first primaries held in Minneapolis un-
der the law, much higher class Of
men became the duly nominated can

had refused steadily to be drawn into
the "leg-pulling" quagmire of old
style primaries and conventions now
came to the front and accepted can

Feeds Hens Kerosene and Gets Flavor
In the Eggs.
W. Stewart Wise. a fancier and
breeder of chickens highest In the art
of laying eggs fit for king, made
discovery the other day. He had been
boasting about the quality and fresh
ness Of the eggs he sold from his hem
merry. Benjamin c. Bayne gave Mr..
Wise an order. The time each egg was
plucked from the nest was recorded
upon II. This gave Mr.. Bayne proof
OF the who!esomeness of the breakfast
he was to eat next morning. The ba-
con and eggs were served, but there
seemed to be something in the cook
ing that was not acceptable to Mr.
Bsynes taste. and he began to ques-
tion whether they had been cooked In
kerosene oil or II the Standard Oil
company had cornered the bacon mar
ket and injected into the meat some of

animation proved that the cook was
not in the employ OF any oil trust
neither kerosene, olive or axle-and
the mystery ended with tho uneaten
eggs upon the breakfast table. Mr..
Bayne, relating his experience to Mr..
Wise. opened that gentleman's mind.
who said: Il can explain It to you.
Who would have thought such a thing
was possible?" Then Mr. Wise said
that number of his best chickens had
beer. AFFLICTED with colds. He had had
their food impregnated with kerosene
oil. which soon cured the brood. This,
he declared. had found Its way into the
eggs. The explanation satisfied Mr..
Bayns and the family that the cook
had not used kerosene TO cook that
breakfast, and. under the clrcumstanc-
