The Evening Chit-Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

Whenever I see children whose moth
ers allow and encourage them to treat
their 1nferiors'-shopkeepe serv-
ants etc.-in a domineering way,
don't know which to be the more sorry
Tor, the mothers or the children.
Just the other day I saw a little girl,
the pink-and- whfte-and- oldest little
creature you ever saw. exquisite as a
French doll, fresh and sweet looking as

superciliously orered the coachman to

this wretched little imitator of elders
that didn't deserve TO be initiated gave
him was a caution. I can tell you my
admiration shrivelled up like an
autumn leaf at the touch of the bon.
f1res flames.
1t seems TO me an axiom of chile
training that children should trea
servants with thorough respect ant
lcourtesy. and that failure to do 81
should be punished as unfailingly a.
any other fault.
l have several times heard of serv
ants who left good positions simpl,
because they could not stand the free
dom with which children were above,
to interfere with their work, and tn
insolence they were alloed to show to
ward them.
That shows bad mistresses an
worse mothers. I am sorry for tn
servants who are obliged to leave goo
: positions for this reason, sorry for tn
! mothers who are piling up trouble 70
themselves, but most sorry of all 70
the children whose characters thes

In the deed Of assignment it was
stated that the work OF the state

that the Corporation Commission in

Immediately. but that in spite of the
strenuous efforts that the Directors
made TO meet this requirement they
were unable to do so, and as the
State Corporation Commission had
signified it's intention of closing the
bank at once. 1t was advisable TO
place the affairs of the bank IN the
hands of trustee as the best method
of securing the depositors and cred

When the train reached Salisbury,
we were impressed with the gyrations
of a hotel porter attired in a white
jacket and apron, dark pants, while
in his hands, he swung a large bell,
which he rang with every muscle Of
his body in action. He gave such a
peculiar twist in handling It that il
was a source of amusement to us
while II was evidently a matter of
work with him.
Just two white passengers filed in
to the hotel dining room as a result
of his efforts. IT mattered little TO
him. He was there 10 ring the bell
and to give information. When he
gave information, he didn't ring the
