CHILD is A GREAT THINKER
Juvenile Logic Displayed by the Lit
tie Girl Who Wanted a Baby
Brother.

Those who call children thought
less merely prove that they do not
cow the child nature. Children, as
matter of fact, are great thinkers.
hey only seem lacking in thought to
such of their elders as fail to COM
prehend that the childish mind works
differently from that of the adult Ju.
venile logic. for instance, frequently is
faulty judged by grown-up standards.
but just as frequently 1t is sound and
ncontrovertlble from its own point
of view.
A thoughtful little girl. for example,
recently put to rout her mother, a
young widow, by searching fire OF
questions founded on the request:
"Oh, mamma, won't you buy me a
baby brother?"
You won't understand why l can't
do that for you" the mother finally re-
marked, driven into a corner, but lit
tie girls who have no fathers cannot
have little brothers and sisters"
well, it seems very unreasonable" !"
said the child, after few moments of
reflection. Little girls without faith
ers are pretty sure to be lonely, and
that seems all the more reason why
they should have other children in the
family, doesn't it?"

Rules for Talking Weather.

The English are as insensible to
their weather as they are to a vast
number of other things. They talk Of
nothing else; but there is yet an arti-
ficiality about the conversation that
denotes 1t to be a standardized topic.
II genuine feeling and emotion are ex-
pressed regarding 1t by an outsider
they become suddenly touchy. and
what seemed neutral ground on which
differing temperaments could meet
with perfect amiability is seen to be
no better than a bank of bristling
thistles. II is here that the rules Of
the weather game are seen more
clearly. You may talk of 1t to the
exclusion of everything else; you are
regarded as difficult IL you have an
aversion to a certain amount Of
speech about 1t. and yet there are GER
tain things you must never say about
1t, or, If you do, you must say them
as though in spite of everything you
would not exchange 1t for any other
weather in the world, and you would
defend 1t with your last breath.-Flor-
,da Pier In Harper's Weekly.

Poles Passion for Gambling.

The trial at Crakow of Polish ad-
vocate named Steinfeld who has come
to grief through gambling has been
the occasion Of some curious revela-

has on business men in Austrian Po-

DR.. Steinfelds wife in her endeavor

out Of her sight even when he went

rising at in the morning before his
wife was awake in order to hurry of
to the so-called Monte Carlo" at
Crakow, which he would find still in

there for hours. while he told his wife
