The bright little girl is going on twelve.
She is remarkably bright little girl.
She would be, also. remarkably pleas
ing little girl If il were not that she so
frequently mirrors the fulsome fiattery
of her adorlng parents in ways like the
above.
OF course, my first feeling was one OF
dislike and antagonism toward this prig-
gish little peacock.
But my sober second thought was pity
for her.
Poor little girl. She was only mirroring
the bombastic opinion Of herself which
her parents continually held before her.
1t is the most natural thing In the world
that she should She can hardly help II
any more than a mirror can help giving
back the image of what Is held before it.
But just think Of all the dislike and
ridicule and antagonism she is going to
bring down on herself.
Truly, l think such parents are almost
as guilty of cruelty to children and as
fit subjects for the society with the long
name as the parents who beat their little
ones.
For l do not think that actual beating
could cause much more suffering than the
attitude into which her parents have got
ten her is going to cause this bright little
girl.
1t Is 50 easy to let bright child see
that you consider 1t a very marvellous
creature with whom the rest of the world
is scarcely fit to associate.
1t Is 50 hard to keep your pride In lite
wonderful wit and precocity and beauty
to yourself.
But If whenever parents are tempted
to be careless in this regard they would
stop and think Of the inevitable unhap-
piness they are preparing for their chill.
dren 1t does not seem to me they would
take 1.-THE easiest way"
Wit and precocity and beauty are all
nothing unless they bring what most OF
US want more than anything else on
earth-iove and popularity.
And II you neutralize them with q bonn
bastic self-conceit they will not bring
those precious boons.
Just think OF that the next time you
want to tell your bright iitt.s girl that
she plays whist better than her mother
and that grown-up folks are queer not
to want to play with her Or whatever
the particular dose OF hattery you are
inclined to administer happens to be.

This simple. inexpensive lotion far surpasses

A Good Demonstration

From Harper's Weekly.
 The car had wheezed slowly along, until finally Jobleigh grew impatient.
 Look here. my good man. he said to the demonstrator. "I don't want an old snail of a car like this. I want some speed"
 ''But think of the economy of a car like this,' said the demonstrator.
 "Economy?" retorted Jobleigh, Where does the economy come in? It costs just as much to run an any other car doesn't it?'
 Yes" said the demonstration, but think of what you'll save on fines"

SAID RUSSIA IS i DEEPLY OFFENDED Action of United States
 House of Representa-
 tives Is Disliked

St Petersburg December 30.-Spe- cial. .)-There is no disgusting the fact that Russia is deeply offended at the action of the United States in de- nouncing the treaty of 1892. If it had not been for the resolution passed by the American House of Representatives this feeling of resentment would prob ably not have been so pronounced.
 The language used in this resolution and the fact that it was passed unani- mously by the American House of Rep resentatives indicated for the first time to even official Russia the seriousness of the situation. It had been taken here by official Russia that the agita- tion was merely playing of politics for the big Jewish vote on the eve of a presidential election and that 1t would not amount to anything. The fact that some of the strongest advo- cates of the abrogation of the treaty represented sections in the United States where the Jewish vote is negligi- ble indicated for the first time that the question in the United States was out side of ,politics, and that the feeling against Russia was something to be reckoned with.
 There has been a good deal of talk of boycotting American goods and re- fusal to negotiate another treaty, but this is not likely to result seriously.
 The manner in which President Taft look the matter in hand has left an opening for negotiations of which the Russian government will in all proba- bility avail itself.
 It is not improbable that the Rus sian ambassador at Washington will be instructed to take up the matter of a new treaty with the United States shortly after the New Year and that new treaty will have been nego- tiated before the old one lapses.
