Small Miss Was Somewhat in Ad-
vance Of the Necessary Re-
quirements.

Arson Phelps Stokes, Jr., the secretary
Of the Yale corporation, takes a profound
interest in children, says the New York
Tribune. Talking with an undergraduate,
he said the other day:
Children should be modest, shy, quiet.
That type of child is apt to turn out
better in the end than the clever, talka-
tive, precocious type. 1t is apt to have
q broader, nobler mind. The laxative
and precocious type is apt to be shallow.
"For my part, / should hesitate to
promise much for the future of 80 pre-
cocious a youngster as one in Quincy
Adams that / heard of last week.
This Quincy Adams child, a little girl
Of seven or eight years, stood n day
before a closed gate.
"a gentleman passed slowly. The
little girl turned and said to him:
"Nln you please open this gate for
me-? -,
"The gentleman did SO. Then he said,
kindly:
"Why, my child, couldn't you open the
gate for yourself!
Because said the little girl. tho

PREFERRED BEING JAILED.
Concealed Burglar Surrendered When
the Music Lessons Took
Effect.

A burglar who entered a Harlem house
suffered a unique form of punishment. 1T
happened, says the New York Press, that
the family he had come to rob were in
conveniently early %risers, and before ne
had half finished Ills work he heard a
step on the stairs. Quickly gathering up
his booty, he slipped behind the piano, in
tending to make good his escape as soon
as opportunity offered. ..
But opportunity did not offer, for it
appeared that the step he had heard Was
that of one of the daughters of the house,
who had come down to the parlor for d
couple of hours practice before breakfast.
When she had finished another daughter
was standing ready to occupy the stool
for another two hours.
Next followed the music lessons OF
each of the young ladies in turn. After
these lessons were over their brothers VIC
lin teacher appeared, and, seating herself
at the piano, began his accompaniment.
But this was too much. The burglar
rushed from his hiding place.
For heavens sake have me arrested
he implored. "At least there are no
pianos in jail"

THE VAGARIES OF TAXES.
Different Standards in the Various
Cities-Some Odd Things
Taxed.

New York city collects in a year $780,
600 from it's theaters and concert gar
dens. an inconsiderable. item for a city
with a budget of $4,000 900, but i'm
nosing a considerable tax on those who
pay it, numbering less than 200, says the
New York Sun.
Chicago collects in a year $40, GOO from
amusements, theaters paying $500 a
year license and cirCuses 500 a day.
This disparity may possibly be account
ed for by the intelligent taste of the peo-
pie of Chicago, which manifests itself in
their approval of theaters of high IN
tellectual standard and disregard OK
circuses appealing to a less enlightened
and elevated standard.
Philadelphia collects $4,000 a year
from amusement licenses. st. Louis.
81 900; Baltimore, $4,000; Buffalo, 81, 800;
Cincinnati, $4,000, and New Orleans,
81. 500,
Boston receives in a year less tlan
800 from this source, it being the
policy of that city to impose small Ii
cense fees on trades or pursuits which
contribute u the puDAAC du'ohSO liz Ch
lightenment, ard heavy taxes on sa-
looms. Boston collects in a year $4,000
from its dog tax. which, unlike the tax
on theaters, is not considered a tau on
intelligence.
New York city collects in a year $780,
600 from its pawnbrokers; Chicago, 25,-
900; Philadelphia, $4,000; st. Louis,
$4,000; Boston, $4,000, and Baltimore,
$1,000. The standard of taxation On
| pawnbrokers varies in practically e~ery
| American city.
Buffalo puts a tax on plumbers, SAP
| Francisco on carpet cleaners. Detroit on
bakers, st. Joseph, Mo-, on lauudrles,
| Worcester, Mass, on cart restaurants,
Denver on automobiles, Allegheny City
on slot machines, Fall River on fairs.
Louisville on dentists, Kansas City on
| h~orse-dealers, Detroit on milk wagons.
| Jersey City on hand organs, Omaha on
fish dealers, Rochester on midwives, In
dianapolis on hotel runners and st. Paul
on common fakers."

her-a sudden, bitter insight into OPP
portunities neglected, privileges slight
ed, the cup of maternal love barely
tasted or wantonly spilled. Then she
may perceive the pathos OF Celia

ply; what l object to principally is
the characterization of the two moth
ers which this author has chosen to
depict. One is weak and inefficient,
The other is hard and unwomanly.
Both are examples of what a mother
ought o to be. The respective daugh-
ters have to plot and work against the
persons who should be their truest
friends. to be good, where they can, in
spite OF them. They get no help, no
sympathy. no guidance, no inspiration.

life, without deliberately creating her
for purpose of fiction!"

Whose fault is it when the ideal re-
iatiOnship between mother and daugh-
ter does not exist? Primarily the moth
er'S. We remember that n of the
inscriptions which the wise Old ThaleS
wrote up in the temple of Apollo at
Delphi was, Nothing too much" Now
a mother cannot love her child too
much; but in a hundred ways she can
be injudiciOus in the expression of this
love. By a system of too great I'M
selfshness in herself. she can train her
daughter to be the incarnation of sell
fshness; by too much %"sparine" her,
she instills into the daughter a fixed
determination to be spared" at the
expense of everybody else; by too os-
tensible guidance, she weakens her
daughters ability to decide matters
for herself; by too rigid oversight of
pennies, she deprives the girl of need
tul training in expenditure; by too
much laXity, she lets her slip into ex-
travagance. How easy to extend the
list.
