The girl acted In a Silly, selfish manner.
It Is true, but she is not wholly to blame.
There Is a large measure of responsible
lily resting upon the elders. who failed TO
study her temperament, to recognize her
need Of greater liberty. Many parents
make this mistake Of treating their chill

differences between individuals. In the

types. and each child presents a separate
problem Of training and development and
discipline for the parents to solve. In

child to feel the strain or parental sus-

and children Is more effective than rules

Among the gifts which queen Mother Will
helmina has received and which she appre-
ciates greatly is that of the pupils of the
orphans home in The Hague, and which
is extremely unique. It consists Of eight
beautifully made cradles with toilet bas-
kets all deliberately trimmed with lace.
These are for the queen to give to eight
Dutch women who may have children born
on the same day as the royal heir. An odd
gift, according to Traulein de Vries, is that
Of the women of Urk, an island in the
zuyder Zee. They dressed a doll in the
picturesque costume, as strange to the city
resident of Holland as to the foreigner.
Hood and shield are of rare lace, the seven
skirts Of the finest material covered by a
little black silk apron. Golden catches on
the hood over the ears, golden hooks to
keep the silk shawl in place, and a neck
lace Of coral with a golden clasp complete
the dolls outfit.
The women of Amsterdam have given the
queen of Holland a cradle that is a triumph
of art and skill. 1t is made of rosewood.

velvet and are embroidered with the en-
blems of the house of Orange and the coat

Harrington Not Inundated.

Harlingen, Texas, Sept. 1.-The re,
port from Corpus Christi that Har-
lingen is inundated and water is stand
ing in the streets two feet deep is
entirely erroneous. At no time has
such been the case. During the heavy
rain water naturally stood in the low
places until the bitches had time to
carry it away There is no flood
water from the river anywhere near
Harrington and we do not anticipate
any. The Arroyo Colorado, which
runs within three-quarters of mile
from the town, is sixty feet deep and
as wide as the Rio Grande itself. It
is amply able to take care of even an
extraordinary overflow, and Harlin-
gen is less likely than any town in the
valley to be flooded.

Houston on trains Nos. and g., the
former leaving Houston at 6:45 a. m
and the latter arriving in Houston at

The additional equipment for the

ficiency of that train for the through
travel and make it in fact popular
train through st. Louis to Houston
and Galveston, as passengers can take
the through sleepers from st. Louis to
San Antonio, as far as Palestine, and
have similar accommodations from
that point south in the parlor cars.
The International and Great North
ern has been making an effort to Sc
cure this service for months past and

that they have at last succeeded in Sc
curing it,-Houston Post.

New Orleans, La, Sept 2.-The cot
ton crop condition on Aug. 25 has
been placed at 63.7 per cent by the
crop reporting board of the depart
ment of agriculture.
The trade, days before the receipt
of the report, conceded a condition of
sc per cent as the pivot on which the
market would swing. Thursdays re-
port was % points lower than this
estimate. Cotton values following
the posting of the report in the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange at II o'clock
today advanced to II points, and al
most Immediately reacted 4 to 8
points. The statement in itself is ex-
tremely bullish. 1t represents the
lowest condition figures on record for
this period of the year. 1t indicates
a crop of 10,S59,O 900 bales. The world
needs 12,5O0,000 bales. The publica-
ton when first posted on the floor of
the exchange was greeted with a
shout of victory by the long contin-
gent and a rush was made to boom
prices. The bears, however, seemed
fully prepared for the report and met
the long crowd more than half way.
Prices were extremely narrow. The
hammering commenced when the
January contracts reached 1850, II
points above the days low price, and
representing the largest gain follow
ing the bureau report. Shorts and
prominent room traders commenced
hedging on actual cotton and a check
was placed on the advancing tendency
of the market. The gains gradually
gave way under pressure of liquida-
ton, and when the excitement died
out the market was quoted but to 5 |
points higher than the opening
