GIVE THE CHILDREN MONEY
A Small Allowance BY Parents
Would Prevent Crime.

New York, Nov. I'm statement
covering the first years work here OF
the new court for Juvenile offenders
Justice Julius NJ. Mayer. of the court
OF special sessions, asserts that the
failure OF parents to supply their chilu-
rem with spending money is one OF the
nr,noInal cause OF crime among the
boys and girls of New York city. Lack
OF knowledge of the first principles Oh
nractical civics, he said, is another reas
on found for innocent offenses OF mus
chievous children.
I'm many cases. the justice declares,
.,the parents are respectable. hard-work
ing people, in many the children have
good school records, but the difficulty
Is. they have no money to spend so that
their desire to have what other child
Sen have--candy and the like--cannot pe
rratiAed. II may seem little thing
but / firmly believe that many chiiu
would be saved from the initial wrong
stem IL the parent would make him q
small allowance, even two or three
cents a week. In the cases where sucn
course Is pursued the child usually pe
comes a sort OF little business man

to spend no more than his allowance

A Cows Queer Act.

The force of habit was very forcibly
illustrated by an incident recently at

COW accustomed to drink at this tank

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
True Type Is One who Is Charming,
COmpaniOnable and works
for a Living.

The real typical American girl is not
a society girl. Portraits typifying her
as such are untrue She has her So
cial diversions; she had her parties and
| picntcs and her social merry-go-round
| OF pleasure, but they are not her life,
they are mere incidents of her life, for
her life Is work, says William Allen
White, in Womans Home Companion.
Q course. there are girls who have
nothing to do but to amuse themselves
year In and year out. Pictures Of these
girls, with their kind, in festive gear,
In full dress, in golf-clothes and in
yachting rigs, are doubtless typical Of
the class. But the entire class does not
number 1905 among 10000, 900 people,
and members of this leisure class are
merely flies on the wheel. Typical
Americans must be drawn in their work
ing-clothes if the drawings represent
the type. So the typical American girl
will not be found in her party dress,
though she wears it becomingly and
with real grace when the occasion de-
mands, but rather she will be found in
her working clothes. In her working
clothes-be they of the Kitchen the fac
tory, the shop, the office, the house.
hold or the schoolroom-she is as real
as God intended her to be. But mark
you, even then the chief point about her
is that size knows how to wear her
frocks. knows how to dress tastefully
at small expenditure, and that what
ever her work, she is at pains and is
ambitious to make herself look well.
And she succeeds Whatever her sta
ton, you will be pretty sure to find a
girl worth looking at The true type
OF the American girl will always show
a pretty, young woman attractively
dressed.
The typical American girl, then, is
one who is charming and good looking,
who lives in the spirit of fraternity and
who works for living. But in this
connection the word Living" does not
mean board and keep" 1t means liv-
ing in the broadcast sense of the word
growing, aspiring, becoming. The
American girl who works with her
hands does SO only that she may rise to
better condition of soul and mind and
heart. 1t is not the bread-and-bu
problem that is making a wage-earner
Of the American girl. Fathers and
brothers can take care of that 1t is
the soul problem-how 10 live; how to
get all the best out of civilization; how
to grow in grace. Young men are not
the only beings who shall "see visions"
The American girl also sees visions, and
she is fired with an ambition as resist
less as her brothers.

AIRSHIPS OF THE FUTURE.
Wonderful Deyelo pment Il romi sed by
the Rapid Advance in
AerOnuutics.

Wireless telegraphy has not yet
reached the acme Of perfection, al
though messages are readily sent and
received by this wonderful system And
yet the world already takes the inven-
ton Of wireless telegraphy as a matter
OF course, says the Aeronautical World.
In this age of great achievement and
discovery it seems as If nothing is too
stupendous for man to undertake and
that failure Is to evolve something use
full as we'll as wonderful is the excep-
ton, not the rule. Some things that
have been attempted have not been
brought to perfection yet, but there is
nothing discouraging in this. Obstacles
serve only to spur human genius to re-
newed action and greater exertion. We
travel by land and sea at a rate Of speed
that 100 years ago would have been
called the result of witchcraft. We do
not travel through the air with equal
facility at present, but we may do so
within a few years, as the efforts of
men Of brains along this line are certain
to gain the mastery Of the air, as they
have Of the land and sea.
Those who sCoff at the student OF
aerial navigation and scout the idea OF

who seek to discover the secret of flying

Of a large reward by the st. Louis ex-
position managers for the most sue
cessful exhibition of flying machine
There will be many competitors for this
prize and Yankee ingenuity will vie

A HOTEL HERMIT.
Solitary Existence of Man Dwelling
Amidst the Rustle of
City Life.

There are many curious varieties OF
! solitude seekers, and those who find
seclusion in the heart of the world
are not, on that account, entirely de-
void of eccentricity, says the Detroit
Free Press.
I'VE have a hermit at our hotel
remarked a man of the world VINO
studies mankind from one days end
to the other.
1--WE sat at the table with him for
nearly a year, but have just discov-
cred him to be a hermit. His long,
straggly beard made me suspect him
to be out of the ordinary; but as he
only yesterday allowed me to engage
him in conversation, I've been at
loss until now as to what class he be-
longs.
He was one of large family OF
brothers and sisters-the youngest,
loved and petted by all the others.
One by one, they have dropped away,
and now, heir to all the family wealth,
he Is alone in the world. Once he
used to be quite flop, he says, but now
he doesn't care for fine apparel, so he
wears plain clothes and lets his beard
grow Comfort Is more to him than
appearance Books are his chief COM
fort, he tells me, and he vaguely prom
ised that some cay he would show me
his rooms full Of books.
"He gives to charity, individual and
to organizations, as literally as he
can, and spends his days in his room
reading or on the cars and boats alone,
to get fresh air, and he retires from
the world at three o'clock in the aft
ernoon, never under any circumstances
leaving the hotel at night for fear OF
being robbed. The hotel people know
very little about him. He pays his
bills promptly and talks freely to no
one about the establishment. I told
him that I considered him a hermit.
He smiled family and said that it was
much more convenient, in many re-
spects, to be a hermit in a hotel in
big city than to be one in a cave In
the trackless woods"
