CHILDREN OF THE RICH.
How Some of Them Are Being Pre-
pared for LIES Duties.

How Some of Them Are Being Pre-
pared for LIES Duties.
An amateur investigator has discov-
cred the following instances Of the way
in which some New York children are
made ready to struggle with life.
"Think of a girl of 49," she said,
"who has been taught to believe that
all her birthday means is the gift Of
beautiful pearl from her grandmoth-
er. From her very first birthday that
fact has been the most important thing
that has happened to mark the ami
versary of her entrance into the joys
Of this life. Her grandmother was like
all her family, very rich. 1t occurred
to her that she would like her grand
daughter to have pearl necklace that
should be as fine as any that money
could buy. So she hit on the idea Of
presenting the child with a superb
pearl every year.
I'm the meantime all the childish Joy
Of the child's birthday celebration has
been made to lie in the acquisition of
that pearl. 1t has for twelve birth
days been the engrossing event of the
celebration.
almost as singular in its exhibition
of a parents idea of the right sort Of
influence for a child is the occupation
Of 14-year-old boy that l know. He
has been entrusted by his family with
the care Of all the social duties of his
mother and the other members Of the
family.
HE takes charge Of all the cards
received at the house, sees to 1t that
cards are sent in return and acts as
sort Of social secretary for his sisters
as well as for the other older members
OF the family. They are very much
amused by the enthusiasm and clever
ness with which he relieves them of all
social responsibility.
HE is now IA, and that is an age at
which seriousness may without too
much emphasis be allowed to play
some part in boys life Yet his pa.
rents apparently think that what he is
doing is important enough to be al.
lowed to occupy much Of the time that
should In fact be spent at his books or
IN some more serious way. What he
VIII think about when he is 81 it Is not
possible to say. Perhaps he will out
grow his obsession with cardboard and
stationery.
But what will be the future of the
1o-year-old girl who was taken to En-.
rope last summer for her first educa.

and mother, and there was scarcely a

No grave can be made deep enough
TO bury truth.
Success in anything requires single
ness Of purpose.
Whatever was gained In Sodom has
to be lost with 1t.
1t doesn't take very many dollars to
make a contented man rich.
The man who is not honest in his re-
ligion is not to be trusted anywhere.
1t is a serious thing to die, but a
more serious one to live and not live
right.
The love that men have for little
sins is the same that devils have for

The devil will keep on making hypo-

western ewes, and, owing to the condi-
tons under which they have been
raised they flock closely together in

be breachy. They are heavy mixers

The gate is then lowered and the

By the time the sheep have finished
their grain the gate is swung up again,
and they quickly pass back into the
barn, eager for the hay ration. One

EARLY LAMB
PRODUCTION.

One of the most interesting and
profitable branches of the sheep bust
ness is the growing of winter lambs
for the early spring market. This re-
quires special care, constant vigilance
and properly arranged barn and
yards. But most of the work comes
at a time of year when outside farm
ing operations do not claim attention.
This is no small item in its favor.

AS to breed of ram, the Downs are
preferable. The ewes may be Downs

Will Vote on Liquor Question.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 22.-The
McMullen bill, providing for the
submission of the question Of State
wide prohibition, passed the senate
on final reading this afternoon by a
vote of "a to Z, amid scenes Of wild
est confusion. This bill has the sup
port of the Anti-Saloon League and
all elements of the prohibitionists,
to whom the overwhelming majority
accorded in the upper house was no
less surprise than to it's opponents.
The McMullen bill is identical with
the Hilburn bill in the house, and
when it comes up in the lower house
a motion will be made to substitute
the senate bill for the house bill and
it is possible that a vote will be
reached this week.
The bill provides for the submis-
sion Of the question of Statewide
prohibition to the qualified voters OF
the State at the general election to
be held in November, 1911.
When the McMullen bill reached
the house, the bill was Immediately
referred to house committee on con-
stitutional amendments.
The mother of Senator McMullen
died last night at her home at Hills
boro, yet the author of the bill re-
NAMED at his post throughout the
day.

Irishmen and Italians Fight.

New York, April 25.-Fifty or
more Irishmen and Italians came to-
gether in a race riot at Tenth avenue
and Thirty-second street tonight and
order was not restored until an Ital-
ian saloon and an Italian grocery
store had been wrecked, 80 combat
ants dubbed by the police and 1S
arrests made. The fight lasted As
minutes.
The trouble is said to have started
in the grocery store over an argu-
ment between two Irishmen and
three Italians. A fist fight followed
and the commotion brought dozen
Italians to their countrymen's as
sistance. The two Irishmen retreated
into the street, where, reinforced by
a score of their countrymen from ad-
jacent tenements, the riot followed.
