Anyone seeing little Lucy tumbling about
in the back yard and climbing trees with
the neighbor children wouldn't believe that
she could be so starcned and prim in the
parlor, There seems to be two sides to
her. ! ran into Mrs. Terry's yesterday
afternoon, and the little girl met me at
the door, all spic and span in white
pque dress. Mrs Terry was dressing,
and little Lucy asked me into the parlor
and entertained me like a little lady. She
wasn't bashful and she wasn't forward.
She didn't wiggle about in her chair. and
she didn't chew her handkerchief when she
talked. asked her about her brothers
and sisters, and she asked me about the
Togtown children, and when her aunt came
down she was introduced to me Just as
# she were a woman grown. After a
while she asked to be excused and left
the room, but while she stayed she listen.

indicated by the condition of the nails and

The healthy nail is pink, smooth, has a

THE BANKING HABIT.


Not long ago young mother came
home heaming her face bore the unmis-
taxable evidence of secret When ques-
toned she exclaimed triumphantly: Il
have just started baby's bank account
Sure enough, she had deposited a dollar
at the bank, and she had deposited it in
baby's own name and had returned home
with a pretty little home savings bank
in which she was planning to teach the
baby to drop her pennies. Many pennies
come to the hands OF children and the wis
dom of the young mother is commend
able Far better to hear the pennies Jingle
in the bank than to exchange them for
sweets, which are bad indeed for baby 5
stomach.
But not for bahy's pennies alone had
the mother opened the account. She was
a woman who had few pennies to spare
there were days when she had to count
carefully in order to come out even at the
end OF the week, for her husbands income
was not large-but she had planned to give
to the babys bank at least a cent day
and to drop in odd pennies when she felt
that She could honestly afford to do so.
I'VE may not be with her always said

What the child is taught to do with
what is its own it will never forget. If
the habit of spending money wisely is es-
tablshed in the first years of the child's
life it may be saved great deal of bitter
ness. There are people who have never
felt the fingers of pinehing poverty, but
the ordinary child is pretty likely to find
out some time that he cannot afford to
buy everything he wants. The earlier in
life that this lesson is learned the easier
it is to remember III To possess a bank

only possible, but pleasant and profitable,

to the measure was only Is minutes.
Panama Question Taken Up.
Senator Overman IN. CO. then adj
dressed the senate on the Panama canal
question. Senator Oyerman announced
his opposition to the canal treaty on the
ground that the United States had vio-
lated the obligations of the provision Of
the treaty of 1876. He said that the
course of the United States in connec-
ton with the rebellion had had the eff
feet Of tying the HANDS and feet of CO.
lombia and added that in view of this
there was no wonder that the revolu-
ton was bloodless. He could not bring
himself to condone the wrong done.
Senator Carmack also restated his
views in opposition to the treaty.
Senator Fulton (Ore.) spoke for the
treaty. He spoke OF the proposed ca
nal as the greatest enterprise that the
world has ever been engaged In. He had.
he said, found no difaculty In indorsing
the course Of the administration in
Panama, but contended that congress
had no power to enter into an inquiry
into that course because the president
was acting within his constitutional
powers.
