Can't Resist EN-.

"Children are sometimes more Gun
we I am speaking Of the men who
have a right to know something Of chill
dren because of the parental response
bilities they wear" said the man with
a couple of youngsters. "Close OBJ
servation and experience have taught
me that disobedience, so far from being
offensive, is sometimes a virtue, a
virtue because of it's cleverness and
because Of the evident good nature Of
the breach. 1t would, in my judgment,
be decidedly brutal in some circum-
stances to scold a child for disobedi-
ence. Disobedience should be offensive
only when intended az an offense. when
it is a wilful and purposeful defiance
of the parental injunction. I have a
case in point which will illustrate per-
fectly what I mean. My little girl is
very fond Of sausage. I thought she
had consumed enough for one sitting
and told her so. In a few seconds she
had slipped around behind me, and
showed her mead up under my arm.
Papa she said, with a mischievous'
twinkle in her eye, let's play dog! and
as she said it she threw out a chubby
hand and grabbed a piece of sausage
and dashed away with it, laughing as
if she thought it the finest joke of the
season. What could I do? Stop the
laughter by scolding, and suppress the
evident good nature of it all? She
1anked me and got away with the
goods, and since it was evident she
meant no ~offense, no disrespect by her
d~isobedience, there was nothing for
me to do but accept the situation and
laugh and frolic in her dogs game with
her. And so I did. Wouldn't you act
in the same way when disobedience
is put forth in such sunshiny garb?"-

ELECTRIC BATE FOR CATTLE.

Since the discovery that the terrible
"foot and mouth disease" has begun
its ravages among the cattle of the
New England States every means has
been utilized to stamp out the plague
and prevent it from spreading to other
herds, the State and National Depart
ments Of Agriculture cooperating with
the farmers to this end. 1t is not i'm
probable that the apparatus here Illus
trated and recently patented may be
Of considerable value in this work,
having been designed especially for the
purpose of freeing animals Of parasites.
AS will be seen, the idea Is to immense
the animal in a bath. thus subjecting
whatever parasitic growths may have
found Judgment to the action Of the
liquid. This of itself would destroy
many Of the germs, but the inventor
goes further in his work and applies
the current of electricity to complete
the treatment by destroying any para
sites which have survived the bath.

A STARTLING RULING.

was a prominent athlete. The accident
attracted considerable attention. Rob-

The defendants attorney moved that
the suit be dismissed on the ground
that no evidence had been introduced
to show that any person was depending
upon Roberts for support. It was,
moreover, urged that Roberts, being a
college student, was really an expense
to his parents. The Judge decided the
point we'll taken and dismissed the
case. An appeal will be taken.

Refused TO Deliver Coal.

The strike situation has assumed a.
peculiar aspect. The interests which
have been opposing the striking team
sters are not as united as heretofore.
The team owners would not give O
definite reply as to what could be ex-
pected of them. At the Union League
Club q meeting was held between rep
resentatives of the. Employers Associa-
ton and the large team owners. The
team owners declined to deliver coal
to any firm where a strike was in prog
ress, giving as reasons that their own
men would be called out and they.
would be involved in the trouble, with
which they considered they had no
direct concern. ...
They were informed that if they
would not make deliveries their con-
tracts with the business houses,
amounting to millions Of dollars an
nually, would be Cancelled. This did
not change their attitude, however, and
they persisted in their refusal to take
part ir the strike. The railroad mem
present took practically the same
stand, declaring that the light was
something into which the railroads did
not properly enter; that they had con-
tracts with the team owners; that these
contracts were at present being full
| illed to their entire satisfaction, and
hey could see no reason why the rail-
loads should be dragged into the
Struggle. A.SSt&1
officers of the Central Supply Asso-
citation, which employs $50 teams, said
hey would make deliveries wherever
their contracts called for them, ire

Chicago, Il~l.-Senator Thomas C.
Platts boosted political pull was not
sufficient to induce the Treasury De-
partment to order Federal military
protection for the express wagons Of
the United States Express Company,
during the teamsters' strike here. Sen
ator' Platt, President of the express
company, it was said, added his per-
sonal request to that Of the express
company's counsel for military protec-
ton in carrying on its private business
in the Windy City. This request was
made by telephone from New York City
to Acting Secretary Taylor. The con-
tention was that. the Federal Govern
ment, under a contract with the United
States Express Company, had promised
to furnish adequate guards in times
of riot or strike for the delivery OF
money from the Sub-TreasYry in Chi
cago. The substitution of army
wagons, strongly guarded, for the
transfer of this money, which had been
arranged for in Chicago during the
teansters' strike, it was contended,
was a violation Of the alleged contract.
The express company, it was said,
would be compelled to %relinquish the
actual possession Of the Government
money, while still held responsible for
its safe transfer and delivery. Acting
Secretary Taylor replied that the
Treasury Department had received no
complaint from the Chicago Sub
Treasury, or from any Federal Offices
in Chicago, and that, in fact, it had not
been found necessary to call on the
commanding officer Of the Department:
of the Lakes to take charge Of the
transfer Of Government money as had
been contemplated, as the strikers had
assured the safe passage Of all Govern
ment business despite the strike. He
declined to grant the request.
