NEW YORK.-What is the psychol-

smuggler than the poor man, and Is
the American greater sinner than his

The Presidents Message.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The most
striking feature of President Taft's
second annual message which was
sent to Congress today, is his an
nouncement that he has invited ex-
pressions from the other powers OF
the world on the proposition of
limiting armanen,s by international
agreement.
The general tone of the message
is r~eassuring to business. The
time has come, in the presidents
opinion, when Congress can pause
from legislating for the regulation
of corporations and the restraint
OF business and witness the effect
OF the laws already on the statute
books. The activities of the gov
eminent, he says, should be direct
ed toward economy of administra-
ton and enlargement of opportuni
ties for foreign trade, the upbuild-
ing of home industries and the
strengthening OF the confidence of
capital in domestic investment.
There will be no tariff revision
upon the presidents recommends
ton in the present session, and
probably not until the meeting of
the Sixty-second Congress in Dec.
1911. The president recommends
that the present Tariff Board be
put on a permanent basis, indepen
dent OF politics.
The message contains important
recommendations for the revision
of judicial procedure in this coun-
try in the interest OF the poor man,
He lays before Congress all the
recommendations contained in his
legislative programme last year
that failed of enactment. These
include conservation measures, an
anti-injunction bill, ship subsidy
the fertilization OF the Panama
Canal, a bureau of public health
and the reorganization of the
government Of Alaska.

CARING FOR CLARlSSA

In the first place, the child's parents should have known better That was what every one said when everything was over and the Honeywells were at home again.
 The Honeywells were young, so, nat urally, their child was young. They had named her Clarissa, and she was a little over two years old and quite the most wonderful infant in the world
 Mrs. Honeywell said it seemed prov idential that her younger sister, Bess, should have chosen to come to see them just at the time Honeywell had to take a business trip east and want ed his wife to go along.
 Mrs. Honeywells sister took Clar- issa very seriously, her acquaintance with children being only theoretical.
 Clarissa surveyed her aunt specula- lively. Experience had taught her that you can never tell. This person had large blue eyes and pink cheeks and lovely shiny things on her dress, yet she might not turn out so we'll, after all So, as 1t was warm day and access to the yard was permissible. Clarissa started things by running away.
 If only she had eaten more break fast!" her aunt walled as she pre- pared to dash out upon the street, at tired as she was in a ncgligee and with no rat in her hair How could she wait to attend to her toilet when her niece probably was being destroyed by blood-thirsty automobile or was un- der the hoofs of raging horse? Her apparently wild remark was really more sensible than it sounds. The Honeywells have an iron fence around their home and always keep the gate shut SO that their child may not wan der. But the space between the bot tom of the gate and the walk is so large that unless Clarissa lately has eaten hearty meal she can wriggle under.
 She was found enthusiastically eat ing unripe apples at a corner stand
 
 ples rocked not of the awful aches contained in the emerald fruit.
 Promptly Clarissa was led home in disgrace. The disgrace was accentu- ated by the fact that as captor and captive turned in at the Honeywell gate a young man passed and bowed, after some hesitation, to Clarissa's vexed and disheveled aunt Clarissa could not know that the young man was very particular young man, whose acquaintance her aunt had made on a previous visit. and who should have seen her again only in all the glory Of new gown and the cor rect number of puffs and having the proper air of lapguid ease
