BOYS AND GIRLS.
GERMAN AND DISHwASHING.

II learned German while washed
Dishes" said busy girl whose com
mand of that language was the won
der of her friends. II propped up my
grammar or my reader or my "con-
versation book" on the shelf, and
practised little every day, and do
the same thing still, just to keep my
mind in the habit of German
Itwould have been the natural thing
for the average young woman, who
had no more time for regular study
than this girl had, to give up alto
gether the acquisition of German. But
success came, in this case, as result
of piling one little grain upon another
and keeping at the work with steady
persistence.
This example not only shows what
one can do under adverse circumstan-
ces, but it also illustrates the fact
that what we get is by Titles. 1t is
not the "spurt" that wins, but the
steady, day by day training. When
that girl said that she kept in "the
habit of German" she touched the
real heart of the matter. Even if
there came day when she could not
prop her book on the shelf and study,
she could and did think over what
she had already learned. Often we
fail to realize that this keeping task
or an aim in mind, steadily and pur-
posefully, is one of the essential things
towards accomplishing it. Doing that,
we may fit together all chances that
can help our work. Every day brings
its opportunities for special gain.
Our own Indifference is what most
often makes us fail TO seize them

IF WE KNEW WHAT WE WANTED.

Once upon time there was little
girl who wished SO ardently that
good fairy would appear to her that
at length good fairy came.
my child" said the visitor, 81 am
prepared to give you whatever you
wish.-"
"How nice!" exclaimed the little
girl.
provided your choice meets with
my approval"
"I,-I think I'd like to have good
lot of candy,'' said the little girl-"as
much candy as / could eat, with
out getting SICK" She spoke the last
three words doubtfully, judging from
the fairy's expression that some
objection was to be expected.
But that would never do, nsaid
the fairy. 81 once knew little boy
who had SO much candy that he could
not eat any dinner,-and there was
huckleberry pie for dessert, Just
think oft, he couldn't eat any buckle
berry pie! He didn't mind it, at the
time, but he was sorry after the pie
was all gone. And then, my dear, I
find that even our fairyland CO nfec-
TONERS can't make any candy that is
really good for the teeth. 1t is the
sweet tooth. you know, that goes to
the dentist. Try again."
"Well, them" said the little girl,
who had trouble of her own, "I wish
1 could always know''my lessons with
out studying them, and spell all the
big words right and do all the hard
sums.''
''I'm afraid that wouldn't do" said
the fairy; "you'd become INDECENT
and you'd have too high an opinion of
yourself. You'd be so smart that
you'd forget that you weren't entitled
to any credit for being smart, just
like many smart people know"
"WelI, I'd like to have the incest
clothes of anybody in this neighbor-
hood"
'But what would the other little
girls think of me? Why, they'd never
forgive me-"
"Well, if 1 can't have the incest
clothes for myself, I'd like to have
lot of dolls with the incest clothes
that dolls ever had"
"Same objection, my dear. Con-
slider the feelings of the other little
girls.''
"Oh, well, then, I'd just like to be
grown-up. wish were old enough
to be debutante."
"Ah, my dear, could not allow
you to miss all the good times you'll
have between now and then. II L
should make you debutante, I have
DO doubt you would enjoy it just now,
but what would you think of me ten
or fifteen years from now when you
would consider that, but for me, you
would be so much younger? Really,
I should be afraid TO look you in the
face again"
''Wen, Il en-, 7 don't know What to
wish''
81 was afraid you wouldn't, my
dear. That's the trouble with child
rem and grown folks SIS well,-they
DON'T know what 70 wish. If they did
the good fairies and other folk whC
want to help them would have yer,
easy time" The fairy then vanished

Or. G. 3 Bancroft Dead.

The sad news reached Owosso Sunday
that one of the best known and most
loved former pastors of the First Metho-
dist church, Rev +. B. Bancroft, pre-
siding elder of the Ann Arbor district
of the Detroit NJ. E. Conference, had
died suddenly at his home in Ann Arbor.
He has been suffering for two years
as the result of an attack of kidney
trouble. which brought on tuberculosis
The death of his wife six weeks ago
also affected his condition seriously and
undoubtedly brought on the end. He
had, however, been feeling quite well
for some time and even Saturday even
ing told his son he felt First rate" but
was little later seized with severe
pains in the abdomen and in less than
two hours was dead.
He was born in the M. E. parsonage
at Armada in May 1855, his father being
pastor of the church at that time. At
20 years of age he had graduated from
Albion College and later studied at Bos-
ton University and then spent some
time abroad, entering the ministry on
his return, being pastor at Tawas,
Banks church Detroit, Bay City, Holly,
Preston church Detroit, Adrian and
Owosso. He was presiding elder of the
Flint district for six years and two
years of the Ann Arbor district, having
begun his second term recently. He
was also trustee of Albion College and
took great interest in that institution,
representing it in the field for some
time.
In 1885 he married Miss Minnie
Smith, of Parshallville, Mich, and
four children were born to them; Ralph,
Huldah, Harriet and Arthur. All but
Huldah are living. He also leaves a
sister Miss Nellie, who is teaching in
the Western high school, Detroit.
The funeral services were held at Ann
Arbor Monday afternoon in charge of
Rev. DR.. William Dave, field secretary
for Albion College, assisted by Rev.
Samuel Dickie president of the college,
Rev. Seth Reed, Rev. A. w. Stalker,
pastor Of the Ann Arbor church. The
pail bearers were Revs. Eugene Allen,
ID. Stanley Shaw, E. M. Moore, George

son.

STEP TOWARD FREE TRADE.
Why Foreign Steamships and linz
pOrters Want Reciprocity.

Why Foreign Steamships and I'M
porters Want Reciprocity.
The New York chamber of CON-
merce has taken the reciprocity
plunge. Head over heels 1t goes. 1t
wants reciprocity with all creation,
though for the present only Germany,
France, Russia, Austria Hungary and
Switzerland are named as the coun-
tries with which trade dckers should
be forthwith entered into. OF course
the rest of the world must come into
the deal later on, and a general lower
ing Of tariff rates. so as to admit COM
petitive products on larger scale, is
to follow. Once you have started on
reciprocity it Is impossible to stop.
Resolutions calling for the early con-
clusion of commercial treaties of reci-
procity with the countries already
named were adopted by the chamber
of commerce on June 1. The moving
spirit In this crusade for wide open
competition with domestic production
Is Gustav II. Schwab, the repre-
sentative OF foreign steamship line.
Mr. Schwab serves his foreign employ
ers well in promoting the inflow of
foreign freightage. At present we are
importing 100000 year OF for
eign commodities and exporting ST.
500,000,000 a year of domestic COM
modities. Mr.. Schwab's employers
would make more money If through
reduced tariff rates an additional
$500,000,0O0 Of imports were to be car
ried westward by the foreign steam
ships.
The importers who have votes in
the New YORK chamber Of commerce
would also make more money If that
$500,000,000 trade balance were to be
wiped out altogether. No matter what
happens to American industrial pro-
duction as the result Of the $500, 000,-
600 increase of competitive imports, no
matter If thousand mills and fac
tories are closed and half q million
American wage earners are thereby
thrown out of employment, so long as
the foreign steamship companies and
the importers make more money!
That seems to be the attitude Of the
New York chamber of commerce, but
1t is not the attitude Of the American
people as a whole. The dominant idea
In this country is that reciprocity In
competitive products is a one sided ar
rangement, delusion, a snare and a
fraud, contrived for the distinct pur-
pose Of increasing our purchases Of
foreign commodities and decreasing
by an equivalent quantity the do
nestle production of those commod-
tiles, for it is a perfectly plain and
indisputable fact that by so much as
we increase the Importation Of competi-
tive goods we displace domestic produc-
ton. 1t is long step toward free
trade that the country is asked to take.
No such step will be taken while the
Republican party holds fast to the pol
Icy Of protecting domestic labor and
industry.
