BANK cLEARINGs GAIN
GROUND RECENTLY LOST

Bank clearings for the first three days
Of the present week show an average gain
over the corresponding days last year of
more than 81, 200, 600 a day.
What is even more encouraging these
clearings are ahead of the same three days
in 1906, when commercial and real estate
activity was at its height by about $3.50, 900
This seems to indicate that the ground
lost a result of the financial panic of a
year ago is being rapidly regained.
The total clearings far this week are
S720S, 569, as compared with $6,56750 last
year. and $697S. 564 in 1905.
This Is probably the first time in more
than year that three consecutive days have
shown average gain of more than ST.
900. 900, and when the total was ahead Of
that for the corresponding period two years
ago.

BEYOND KEN OF LITTLE CHILD
Advent Of Black Angel Had No Sig
nificance for Him,

1
Mrs. Dash is young, handsome and
worldly. Morning, noon and night she
appears fresh and eager for its gay
ETY., for no one loves life more than
| she does.
She has a small son years old who
seems to carry round with him soul
at least 5000 years old. He is a ro-
mantle, highly geared little chap. al
though sturdy and cherubic to the eye,
a mere baby, and his parents have had
the good sense to let him unfold from
within under the guidance Of an old
world nursery governess.
The little lads fancies are qunint
and fantastic and the days are too
short for his imagination to get its
work in. Busy, indeed, is he with his
pony, his small pets, his old nurse and
his outdoor and indoor play.
Recently his lovely mamma was
stricken with serious illness. The
telephone tangled all day with the In
quiries Of friends, servants with sol
emn faces moved about, noiseless
trained nurses came and went, doctors
arrived in swift motors and little
"Chappie" was much impressed with
his first knowledge Of dangerous sick
ness.
In fortnight he was summoned to
the sickroom to see his mamma, who
was beginning to feel the real glow
of convalescence.
There was his mother sure enough
lying palely beaming under a canopy
OF snowy laces against the embroid.
cred pillows around which swept the
