Children Born Cynics Nowadays.
Boston Herald.

 A London writer exclaims at think ing there is really nothing to account which the modern child has developed in regard to toyland" The modern child will simply not make believe. Little boys and girls alike become sticklers for the correct thing" and If the build of a steamship or a motor car the cut of dolls frock or the mysteries the eye does not usually see are not just like" the real thing, makers have even now to employ scien- tifc experts and French milliners if they hope to pass the critical eyes Of the new child The fact is the mod ern child is born a cynic and a sated little darling. It has no emotions, no desires save to destroy, and be lived and breathed for by necessary parents.

Deadly Common Plants.

The things that give the most pleas
ure in life frequently can also cause
the greatest pain. Among flowers, for
instance the beautiful snowdrop, the
hyacinth. jonquil and narcissus are
all poisonous. and to eat the smallest
part of the root of either of them
would produce fatal results, while the
Juices of the leaves will cause violent
vomiting.
The berries of the yew tree have
killed many people, and the opium
obtained from poppies has also
claimed its victims. Lady's slipper
and lily of the valley are both danger
Gus, and If the blossoms of crocus are
chewed they will cause vomiting.
Flowers from bulbous roots, however.
seem to be the most dangerous, and it
might not be out of place to dealers
in these to label them with cross
bones and mark them poison.

I answered easily.
The Annandale station presented
an appearance OF unusual gaiety when
We reached the main street OF the

We stepped upon the platform. The
private car lay on the opposite side

into siding of the east and west

regal In private car. Any one may
boast n catboat and call IT, n yacht:
but there is no known substitution for

the platform with Stoddard, Pickering
came out into the vestibule of his car,
followed by two ladies' and an elderly
gentleman. They all descended and
began promenade on the plank
walk.
Pickering saw me an instant later
and hurried up with outstretched
hand.
This is indeed good fortune! We
dropped of here last night rather un-
expectedly to rest hot box and

Government Investigating the Opera
tors Of Bucket Shops That Do
Business Through the Malls.

In times of prosperity there are nj.
ways chances for the CRATER. During
the past ten years has been the era
OF the get.rich.Qulck man. No sooner
does one scheme play ont than an
other takes Its place. Thanks to the
ever diligent postal inspectors. and an
unrelenting government. the schenlcrs
are not SO plentiful us few years ago.
For some years number OF supposed
legitimate grain and stock brokers
thrived in both eastern and western
cities. These were active In soliciting
through the mails. and through local
offices the business OF small investors.
The millions OF money gained from
the unsuspecting people Will never be
known. In New York. Chicago. St
Louis and other cities large and ex-
pensively conducted Offices were main
tanned. Once the government got on
the right trail, there were irregulari-
ties discovered that resulted in fraud
orders being Issued against a number
of the concerns. The end Is not yet.
and the work OF determination will be
kept up till there is none In operation.
Buying stocks In n fair market Is
risky business. but when there are
schemers to stack the cards against
the investor. there is not a ghost of
show. Many a bank clerk and bust
ness man can trace his downfall to
speculating in the bucket shops.

Relationship Of Residents Of Rural
Communities to the Home Town.

"I.ive and let live" % Q policy that
has come down through the ages and
Is an expression OF tie Golden Rule
only In different wordS. There Is In
born In man desire for seif-preserva-
tion. II is . Law OF life. and to this
desire can be attributed that which Is
considered selfishness within US. Saw
age man has little regard for the
rights and properties Of others. He
lacks tho sense OF equity and justice
and IL guided solely by the brutal In.
stinets. intellisent man realizes that
all his fellow creatures arc entitled
to the same rights he would enjoy
himself. Therefore where the Chris
tian spirit is found. there can be look
cd for such equity as gives all an
equal chance to gain livelihood and
to enjoy the products Of their labor.
There should be the greatest har-
mouy among the citizens OF every
community. Tho interest OF all tho
classes comprising u city or = district
should be considered identical. II has
been noted that the most prosperous
towns have been built up by har-
monious and united effort OF all the
people composing II. In these days
wnea there are evils to combat. when
oppressive trusts exist that are fac
tors In unequal distribution Of wealth.
Il iS all important that the masses In
each and every community unite and
work In harmony for tho protection
and bcttermcnt Of local conditions. II
II to be- regretted that In many agri.
cultural communities there Is . lack
Of harmony between what Il called
tho business interests aud the produc.
crs of crops. Different reasons may
bc advanced for this condition. but tho
most common cause ID misundcr'
standing on the part Of the citizens
as to tho rclationhip that should cx'
list between them. II Ii wron. for
the teachings that go forth that the
farmers interests arc different from
those OF tho merchant. or that the
merchants interests differ from
farmers OF tho community. IL
IL also an erroneous idea that the
