A story Is told of a wise mother, who.
when her small son announced his
intention Of running away from home
because something had vexed him, met
the announcement with calm acduies-
cence She packed small bundle for
him to take away, suggested the next
town as good place to stay for the
night, and added: "Of course, Harry.
If you really want to go, you may;
but you don't know how much l Shall
miss you" The youngster picked up
his bundle, went slowly down the path
to the front gate, opened it, then turned
and ran for the house, where he flung
his arms about his mothers neck and
burst into tears. The treatment was
not needed again. If that mother had
met the boys plan with tears, re-
proaches, anger, or punishment, the
chances are that she would either have
had a spoiled child on her hands, or
awakened some morning a few years
later to find that her son had really
run away. The sense of freedom Is a
most valuable asset in dealing with
Young America. The child who Is
continually thwarted in unimportant
things gets in the habit Of fighting for
what he thinks are his rights, whether
he Is justified In the assumption or not
There are some children who are
brought up on the principle that it is
equally heinous to tell lie, to come
Into the house without wiping ones
feet, and to fail In a lesson. Such chill
dren are apt to develop a somewhat
crooked moral perspective, which does
not not always get Strengthened out
in years to come. The boy who fig
ures In the above story had read of
runaways, and formed a not very def
mite Idea of the freedom and peace
which such course entails. He had
not thought about the other aspect Of
1t at all. His mother brought him face
to face with the realities and let him
choose for himself, at the same time in
dicating clearly what she thought it
was best for him to do. 1t did not take
long for him to discover that she was
wiser than he.

ed him with s., 100 in bank notes, which

himself. The moral is plain. 1t pays
to be pleasant and accommodating.
even to strangers. 1t pays to have a
good moral character. You may not be
asked to give a millionaire in disguise
a lift. And again, you may, for Higgin-
son Is always on his travels and always
on the lookout for boys. But whether
you meet Higginson or not, there are
Others on the lookout. Remember how
Diogenes went about the streets of
Athens looking for a MANI Well, the
world is looking for man. And the
world usually finds the man it is look
Ing for in boy. You may not get
$2,1OO all in a lump by being the right
sort Of a boy, but the world will be
glad to give 1t to you sooner or later.

VANDERBILT DRIVER DISCHARGED.
By Queer Mixup in Court He Is Also
Found Guilty.

Mason Crocker automobile driver for Reginald c,
Vanderbilt. found guilty and discharged as In
nocent in the Queens Borough Court of Special
Sessions yesterday. The three judges appeared to
work at cross purposes In the trial Of the case
apparently became mixed in their decision and the
result was as stated. The court consisted of Jus
tice Forker who presided. and Justices Ready and
Fleming.
Crocker was arrested a few weeks ago charged
with running his employers automobile faster than
eight miles an hour. He was alone at the time. ana
was rushing along the Jamaica road. according
TO the police. at the rate of a mile every three
minutes Crocker said that he had stopped just be
fore being arrested, and as 1t was growing dusk
lighted his lamps and researed his machine. The
reeearng brought the speed limit down to six miles
an hour and he was positive that he had not made
any mistake and geared the machine TO sixty miles
TIe said that he not got fairly in motion before
he was halted by the police. ,
Every one then set about figuring just what 1t all
meant Presiding Justice Forker was one of these
and out of the tangle he evolved this: ForkeT-
Complaint all right case not proven Ready
COMPLAINT all right; proven. F1eming-Com-
plant defective; case proven.
Under circumstances the vote stood: To con-
yict Keady; TO acquit. Forker and Fleming
Crocker was accordingly discharged, and lost no
time in obeying Mr.. Schoonma kers advice to get
away before the court thought any more.

Three OF the indictments charging msdemeanors
found in connection with the fatal explosion on
January p on the line of the subway in front OF

ELEVEN TEAMS STILL IN THE RACE.

Eleven teams still remained in the six day race
at Madison Square Garden at o'clock this morn
ing and 8ea0 persons filed every part OF the big
amphitheatre to watch them. At that hour seven
teams were tied for the lead, but they were all
nearly forty-five miles behind the record. a
spirit of more or less indifference to speed has
characterized the men from the very start of the
race and they were steadily falling further and
further behind the record all day long The failure
to make good time is doubtless due to the spirit
of iockeying which seems TO be IN control me

the only occasions which they make any ef-
forts high speed when some one or tneH
number goes out ahead in the effort to steal lap

riders are content to pedal stoildIy along at d

About the worst accident of the race occurred
soon after O'Clock yesterday afternoon, When

accident seemed to be the fault of Maya and both

the incline together As the riders had just been
engaging in of their periodical spr1nts. ana
their speed still good. Butler and Heller were
unable to dodge the fallen riders. and rode pell-
nell into the heap. There resulted tange of
riders and wheels that took time to stra1ghten
out. Bedell was dragged out unconscious. but re-
vived afterward, apparently little the worse
for his hard knocks. None of the unfortunate
teams suffered any distance loss as result of the
the mess had been cleaned up, Bedell seems to be
rather unlucky, he had had one fall before, and
when he fell the second time he had one knee pan
daged.

evening when Galvin's wheel slipped and ne was
thrown. AS the pace slow at the time none OF
