"Oh, no. beg Your pardon. major.
But. you know. you're retired and-all

Major Sayres, retired, rather bald,
his mustache iron gray, grinned grimly
at Dills reflection In the looking glass.
Then he glanced downward at a waist

pair of neatly shod feet. Finally he
pirouetted with great agility and kick

tenant laughed loudly and clapped his

The toe Of the majors right shoe wig
gled gently, as though it were tempted.
The major said simply:
(Which would you rather be called,
Dill, By Miss Bain-unce or brother?"
Dill flushed.
That's not fair, major" he said.
"When asked your counsel did not
think you would taunt me-"
"Pshaw, my ladr' said the major pa
ternally. "You once told me yourself
that was old enough to take the place
of your father Accept the jest 6lially,
then. l don't believe Miss Balm really
cares for Prince Paccadini."
"Of course she doesn'tv' cried Dill.
"But-the title, and-she's ridiculously

He's such good old boy. and he says
himself it's shame such wealth

They drove together to the Balm cot

was very evident.
Dear old major-so obliging and un-
selfish and SO reliable" said the chap
erons.
Dear old major-it's pity he's so
poor and getting old. He's more fun
than half the younger men," said the
girls.
Good old boy. When a mans in

men.
\ The major managed to enjoy two

The Logical Conclusion.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 The subject under discussion was tht training of children. Of course every onS | has ideas upon that subject and the onC with the strongest convictions and rht | most elaborate theories is usually the ons | with the least experience. '"The old idea that the child must bt trained with Il rod is passing away" as serted a masculine member of the party l and thereupon various feminine member. began to cite instances where kindness | and reason had accomplished wonders.
 And yet" asserted one of thems 'tiiat | Is not always effective. There are occa sions when more strenuous methods are necessary"
 Never" insisted the man with A the ory, for now and then men are found whc have theories on this subject. "Kindness and reason will accomplish more thar physical force in all cases. The results may not be so immediately apparent, but they will he more lasting" Tt would seem to me- said the verS prosaic and practical little man in tho corner, 'as if the course to be pursued would have to depend very largely upor circumstances. All children are not alike any more than all horses and all dogs and"
 | At this point he was interrupted by many vigorous feminine protests against comparing sweet little babies and children | WllH uOTStS anu uORS, ana the man WlIn theory still urged his point. l Even If we grant that you are theo- retically right" returned the prosaic little man. 'it seems to me that you are ab- surdly impractical. What are we going to do about 1t? People will bring up their children according to their own ideas of discipline It does no good to theorize blindly. How are you going to stop 1t? I presume you have never considered that point
 That's where you're wrong! cried the man with theory, exultantly. I've been reading an article on the subject that suggests a most excellent plan. Of course 1t is somewhat radical, but only radical methods can prove effective" l He drew a clipping from his pocket. After describing some of the shameful exhibitions of parental temper sometimes seen 3n public. the writer continues as follows:
 Skipping a chlid's hands. or even its | tender face. is a piece of brutality which puts a woman on a par with animals-rin fact. lower than animals. for the animal mother is patient. It would be well for the general public to take upon itself the duty of discouraging this particular kind of brutality The best possible correction would ge to give the thoughtlessly brutal woman a blow upon the hand or the face corresponding exactly with the blow giv- en the child.
 "Is that your idea?' asked the prosaic little man.
 Tt seems to me an excellent idea
 'To do to the mother what she does to the child?''
 Yes"
 Suppose said the prosalc little man. thoughtfully; suppose she spanks the ohild?"
 Thereupon an embarrassing silence fol- lowed. after which the subject was changed.
