1t takes ages to change the CONNER

tardily and only long after it has
ceased to be the most convenient
place for the greatest number Of peo-
pie. There have been but compara-
lively few such centers in the history
Of commerce. For centuries their To-
cation was on the Mediterranean sea
or its tributaries. Carthage, Rome,
Constantinople, Vienna followed one
another at long intervals. With the
growth of the Anglo-Saxon and Ger
manic races and the development Of
ocean. traffic the location shifted to
northern Europe. Then came Bruges,
Antwerp, Amsterdam, and finally Lon
don, where it still remains But the
signs of the times now point to an
other change. The United States

The other afternoon caller in a
Harlem apartment house was sur
prised to hear the doorbell ring long
and intermittently, says the New
York Press. She was equally sur
prised when her hostess. instead of
complaining about the noise, went to
the door-opener and pushed the button
for a couple of minutes. Then the
ringing began again, with second re-
sponse from the button, and the hos
tess quietly sat down to chat with her
friend.

.'He wanted to know what ! wanted

Then the visitor remembered tia
Harry had married his wife when shs
was an operator in the same telegraph
office in which he was employed, and
understood that the intermittent ring
ing was really Morse code, employed
to save the husband a climb of foul
flights OF stairs.

New York Citizens Resent oil Kings
Attempt to Preserve"
William Rockefeller's game keepers
on his vast forest preserves in the
neighborhood of Saranac, N. ", are
earning their pay these days. The
natives thereabout resent the appear
ance of these guards. several of whom
have been fired upon recently. One
of them resigned after having a bull
let pass through his coat sleeve as he
was patrolling his lonely beat In the
forest. The "snipers" use smokeless
powder and all efforts to locate them
have failed. Mr.. Rockefeller owns
50. 900 acres of fine forest land in the
vicinity named. but the natives can
not be made to see that with the real
estate he bought the deer. Nor can
they understand how he owns the fish
which were put into the streams at
public expense. They have shot and
fshed on the land as far back as the
oldest inhabitant can remember and
see no reason why the arrival Of Mr.
Rockefeller among them should change
their custom. Hence the placing OF
the guards, of whom there is a small
army.

ONE MOTHERS GOOD METHOD.
Has Splendid Way Of Teaching chlI

Qren dple Manners
1 desire to have all my children's
meals served at the family table, so
that | may give attention TO the kiEd
and quantity Of fooo which they eat.
and also to their manners at table,
writes Inez Reddipg in the Epitomist.
AS we have so many guests ! par
ticularly wish my children to appear
well bred, and for the same reason /
do not wish to be obliged to be con-
tinually talking to them at the table.
MY children coax for pennies like
other children, and teach them the
value Of penny while they are very
young, in this way. When we go into
the dining-room | place in front OF my
plate a penny for each child. At the
close Of the meal the child who has
not been corrected in any way is
given a penny. They are encouraged
to talk. but not to interrupt. They
are taught to eat properly, to ask
properly for anything they may wish
Any misdemeanor, which they under
stand to be such, results in the loss OF
the penny. Sometimes they are fined
a penny beside for any particularly
unpleasant act. For any disrespectfu
word to the waitress they are at once
sent from the table. 1t may not bf
The best way, but one thing certain
