FALLS VILLAGE

The hash supper given in the parlors of the Congregational church. Monday evening, was a gratifying success, so- oially, financially and from the stand point of artistic cooking and service, all of which was the work of mere men. Something like $35 was realized from the event, in money, and 8 hundred times that in enjoyment. A partlcu- larly enJoyable feature of the affair was the surprise prepared for Lee Ensign, who celebrated his birthday on that day. While the supper was in progress, a couple of husky Congregationalists brought in stupendous cake, as big around as a wash tub, and built four stories high, all fligreed with frosting and fancy work, and lit up with 67 little cumbersome backward mathematician (they laid lr to Elson Hornbeok), having figured it out that last Monday was the 57th day of the New Year, and for each day a candle was provided. The cake was not only work of art, but deli cious and appetizing product-surely no masculine Congregationalist could have concocted it. The presentation took Mr. Ensign SO completely by surprise that he blushed rosy red, and his con- fusion was heightened by 8 postal shower" nearly 100 fancy postcards coming to him, via a special mail carrier who brought them by the bundle every few minutes. Merchant HornbecB had provided a number of red heart pendants for the lady guests, who wore them proudly during the festivities and took them home as keepsakes. It was as

Punishment of Children.

Parents should remember that every distressing, bloodcurdling story told to a child, every superstitious fear in stilled into it's young life, and their mental attitude toward the child, their whole treatment of ir, are simply mak- ing photographic records in its nature which will be reproduced with scien- tifc exactness in it's future life, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Maga- zine Whatever you do, never punish a child when it is suffering with fear. It is a cruel thing to punish children the way most mothers do anyway, but to punish a child when it is already auivering with terror, and especially when you are angry, is terrible. The same principle applies to punishing children in school.

MR.. SkUSTER'S DISPUTE WITH
ENGLAND AND RUSSIA,

Mr.. Shuster seems to have made one
serious mistake. He assumed that
Persia was independent, and that the
details of the management of her own
finances were of concern to her alone.
He had the work of Sir Robert Hart in
China as a precedent, and apparently
failed to realize that the financial ad-
ministration of a country the integrity
of which is guaranteed and which has
only pledged it's customs receipts as
security for European loans is differ
emily situated from a country in an
advanced state of dissolution.
By the agreement of 1907 the north,
ern third of Persia was acknowledged
as being under the commercial and
political influence of Russia, and the
southern third was England's. The
two countries have been led into too
many entanglements over their Asiatic
boundaries not to feel relief at such
definite solution of the question, or
to view without concern any danger
which threatens the status quo. 1t is
to Persia's own advantage, indeed, that
this be maintained.
Mr.. Shuster's main trouble seems to
have been his failure to realize that
the appointment of an English officer
to collect taxes within the Russian
zone might be regarded as an infringe
ment of the agreement. He felt that
so long as Major Stokes was a bona
fide employe of the Persian government
England had nothing to do with the
matter, and he insisted upon his selec-
tion. England rightly refused to as
sent, placing the question as to whether
her own good faith might be impugned
above that of the personality of a
single tax collector, and she advised
Russia also to dissent. There is in this
no evidence that real hindrances are
being placed in the way of the admin.
istration of Persia's finances; rather
on the other hand, definite assurance
that the two powers mean to put an
end to intrigue,

EVANGEL ZlNG INDIA WITH
PLUM PUDDi\CS.

The little tributes which exalted
royalties exchange among themselves
or with their subordinate satraps will
probably y take on a new complexion,
now that the thoroughly domestic
Queen of England has set the example.
In the good old days it was quite suf-
ficient for the informal ambassadors of
the paleface to carry along few
quarts of glass beads and tun of
arrack to wheedle an Indian chief out
of everything he owned except his dog.
The more polished potentates were
equally strong on the decorative effects,
but knew a great deal more about
precious stones and the handwoven
wefts of the Orient. They therefore
exchanged Kirmanshah carpets and be-
jeweled ehronometers as slight tokens
of mutual affection. 1t was sort OF
donation competition in which people
who couldn't afford it gave gifts which
were of no practical value.
But 10! the thrifty and practical
Queen of England has started for the
Durbar in India with thousand plum
puddings in the hold of the good ship
Medina. They were prepared in the
royal kitchen under the personal super
vision of the Queen herself, and they
have been packed in such a way that
they will probably be improved, like
the old vintages which used to be sent

HARMONY REGARDING
RETIREMENT PLAN

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
/ commend the stand The Times has
taken on the complete harmony among
the Government employees On the re-
tirement question. The differences are
as TO the plan only. There will be a
national convention Of employees held
here in January. al which different
plans can be discut ssed. All interest
cd should send delegates to this con-
vention. These differences exist among
the statesmen on the hill. There are
all kinds of bills on the calendar. Con-
gress will thresh them out and from
the number involved, a bill can be pass
ed. / am for a bill this session. The
como itions have become acute in the
departments. Delay will accentuate
the embarrassment of department and
association officers.
The retirement wave Is now at Its
crest. Advantage should be taken of
the favorable view prevalent on the
question. I am in favor OF the Service
annuity plan" of retirement. wherever
the Government grants an annuity, be-
cause l think II the best for the Govern
ment and the best for the employees. 1t
is the only plan ever adopted in the
United States, and II has been salts
factory. 1 think when Congress ex-
amines everv phase OF the question it
will come to that view. l am for a bill
this session. NJ. F. O'DONOGHUE.
