1dlHer 10 son, ana all the gallant
acts of old time Japanese knights
were called up from memory.
Taro was a very good boy gen.
orally, but one day he felt mis-
chievous and contrary. Teacher
told Taro very gently and with a
smile that he must be good. The
smile deceived Taro. He had not
yet wholly learned that a self-re-
speeding grownup Japanese never
allows himself to show anger, no
matter how much he may feel, and
even when he is most angry, most
in earnest, he says what he thinks
it best to say with a smile. So
Taro went on in his mischief.
Suddenly, he heard his name
called and teacher told him to
come to him. The other children
Uttered and Taro felt hot all over,
but there was ever so much worse
in store for him. Teacher told
him to face the school. Oh, those
eyes, those eyes! What dread
full thing he had done. He tried
to turn his back to them, but
teacher would not let him.
In a few minutes, teacher gave
him bowl full to the brim with
water and told him he must hold
it above his head at arms length
and must not spill even so much as
a drop. Taro thought that, after
all, he was being let off easily.

nearly suffoeating in their own fat, SO
to speak. They have more money on
hand than they know what to do with,
and there is so little demand for
loans that to obtain relief the banks
are willing to accept an almost ride

remarkable fact that the City of New

rate of two per cent. OF course, the
city's credit is good and the 500 spe-

low rate of interest, and it is safe to
say that it is many years since a loan

made.

Many subtitle and interesting questions
are involved in that case and the jury
will have no easy in deciding the mer-
its Of the case. This is not the first
time that the directors of the Metro
politan Art Museum have rejected a
work of sculpture, the character of
which offended their moral sensible
ties. There is a strong suspicion that
the wives of some of the members OF
the board have more to do with the
rejection of Biondi's group, than the
members themselves, just as they hat

comes to a trial, it will undoubtedly
become one of the causes celebres of
this country. Biohdi modelled a group
of statuary, entitled "Saturnalia,' -
which was exhibited at the Buffalo ex-
position and attracted considerable at
%tention there. According to Biondi' $
statement the directors of the Metro
politan Museum of Art contracted with
him for the exhibition of the group in
the Metropolitan Museum, but failed
to keep their contract. When BToondi
came to New York a few months ago,
he discovered that certain prudish
members Of the board of directors had
objected to the character of the group
and, instead of exhibiting it, had bur-
led it in the cellar of the museum.

directors has injured his reputation to

The trouble between the employers
and the employees in the allied building
trades still continues, but there is good
reason to believe that a settlement is
! not for off. The unions have been los.
ing considerable ground during the last
week or two and many of the unions
have already withdrawn their allie
glance to the alliance and have re-
turned to work. If the employers are
victorious, it will mean a severe de-
feat of the union cause and a general
recognition of the open shop principle.
Children and dogs are tabood in
nearly all the better class apartment
houses in New York, and in many cases
the tenants practically forfeit their
lease if they allow themselves the priv
ilege of an increase of family without
the consent of the landlord. Many
couples with children find it almost
impossible to secure apartments in any
part of the town. Under such condi-
tions, the action of William c. Smith,
who has nearly finished a six-story
fiat building on Anthony avenue, de-
serves unstinted praise and admira-
ton He is very anxious to get fami-
lies with children into his flats and
offers special inducements to families
that are still on the increase. He of
fers one month rent free to any couple
to whom a child should be born while
living in one of his flats, two months
for twins, and from three to six months
for triplets. He has provided a play
ground with swings and sand piles in
the yard and an enormous playroom
on the top floor, where the children of
his tenants can play in cold or RAINY
weather.
