Da VInci's Mona Lisa.

The Mona Lisa Of Leonardo da
Vinci represents Madonna Lisa" a
NeapOlitan. wife of Zanobi del Gio-
condo, from whose name the painting
Is also known as La Gioconda. The
subtle, battling expression is of kind
that the artist particularly delighted
in, and here brought nearest to perfec-
tion,. The painting was finished by
Leonardo In 1906. 1t Is said that he
worked on 1t for four successive
years and used to have music played
while his model was sitting in order
that the expression which he wished
to render might not disappear from
her face.
Francis I. of France bought the
painting from the artist for 1000 gold
forms, and ever since It has been in
the possession Of France. Until 1t was
stolen recently 1t was one Of the most
renowned treasures Of the Louvre gal
lery In Paris. 1t has inspired numer-
GUS authorities On art to rapturous
outbursts OF praise, among which the
most celebrated is that Of the English
critic, Walter Pater.

Let your children alone.

Let your children alone.
Do not neglect them. There Is q dif.
ference between wise letting alone
and foolish neglect.
Ihere nave been probably as many
children spoiled by over-management
as by negligence.
Don't forget that the prime right
OF child is the right to his own

ness in life is to develop properly the
expression of that personality. How
can he do this IL he Is continually
hedged and thwarted by you?
A child learns by three means--by
experience, by example and by atmos-
phere.
1t Is doubtful if didactic teaching
and preaching ever did much good to
anybody, child or grown-up. Only in
spirational preaching is of any ac.
count.

Let him run as free as you dare.
One lesson he learns from his own
experience Is worth a dozen he gets
from you.
How many little lives are rendered
utterly wretched by the loving but ir-
ritating tyranny Of parents. The lit
tie ones are crossed at every turn.
The mother Is continually scolding,
the father breaking In at times with
sharp prohibitions.
The queer part Of all this Is that
those parents think they are doing
their high duty by the child. They
propose to give their children some
bringing up" and not let them run
wild" So they cramp. thwart, oppose
the growing mind.
Children are sharp. They soon ad.
just themselves to this. and get their
parents measure. Then they turn to
become one or two things-"good,"
SNA~s Az, chASWo iittiC ny poCIltSo, pl lSS

angrily insistent upon having a life
Of their own.
Study the child, seek to bring out
what Is In him. Don't study your
catechism or system of education"
and try to make your child measure
up to that.
There Is no genuine morality with
out freedom.
Anything done from fear is immor-
al. Even the goodness" your child
puts on because he is afraid Of you is
wicked.
Quit trying to mold your child.
Stand by and help him. Let him mold
himself. Be his friend. Let him feel
you understand him.
A lot Of our moral principle" ia
mere self-conceit and vanity of opin-

youth.
Study the child, live with him. enter

age him in what he wants to do, sym
pathize with him.-Exchange.

The five sons OF Tin Grantham, /,

charged, the boys went to the house
OF the Grayneys and demanded tha,

her refusal to do SO. according to the
accounts available from men who
have returned from the scene Of the
affray, the boys shot up the house
the elder woman meeting her death in
the fusillade. The younger woman
was badly beaten.
AS soon as news Of the affair reach

other officers hurried to the scene
Arriving there they found the elder
Grayney woman dead and her daugh-
ter in precariou3 condition.
Empaneling a jury of inquest, the
officers set to work to ascertain the
facts and clear up any mystery. The
inquest was soon over. The coroner's
jury, without delay, returned ver-
dict holding the five Grantham boys
for the murder Of the elder woman
The sheriff at once arrested them and
made his way to Bishopville, where
they are now in jail.
The.bOys decline to say anything as
to their connection with the affair.
The section where the tragedy oc-
curred-the district between Kelley
townand Gilbertown, has long been
known as the scene Of numerous
crimes 1t lies in the extreme north
western section Of Lee county.
The five boys are residents of Oar

Washington, July l.-Disclosures

Since publication OF Martin NJ. Null

To influence legislation and elections
I'm hehaIf OF the National Association
OF Manufacturers. scores of labor lead
ers. present and former congressman
and others have come forward with
testimony and asked that they also
be heard by the investigators.
Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation OF Labor. who
figured prominently In Mulhall's story,
as the object OF a long continued at
tack by those who attempted to bribe
him and force him to give up his
hight in behalf of labor legislation,
has made public a detailed report Of
the story told by Mulhail.
The Gompers statement Is q report
that the labor leader prepared In
1904 after his experiences with
Broughton Brandenburg. now a con-
vict In Sing Sing. who claimed to he
In the employ of the National Asso-
ciation of Manufacturers. Efforts to
secure private interviews with Com
, psrs aroused the latter's suspicion and
he took n number of labor leaders into
his confidence. and later made a full
report to them of the occurrences that
followed.
Gompers met Brandenburg, the ro-
port says. under the advice and sug-
gestion 90 other officials OF the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Branden-
burg. II says. represented himself as
in,eharge Of bureau of the National
Association OF Manufacturers, organ
ized TO expose the immortality and
dishonesty OF the leaders In the labor

According TO his report, Gompers
led Brandenburg on until the latter
proposed that Gompers should pre-
pare a general statement I'm the na-

for reelection as president Of the
American Federation of Labor in

OIL WILL BE THE
FUTURE FUEL OF NAVIES

There can be no doubt that the ma
val future lies with oil as against coal
A given tonnage of oil as against an
equal tonnage of coal will enable the
same ship to steam much faster, to
get up speed quicker, and to travel 40
per cent farther. Moreover, the supply
can be replenished in a small fraction
of the time, and on the high sea in
nearly any weather instead of in port
When you add that per knot steamed
the cost is about the same, and that
the world S visible supply seems as in
finite for any near future as the coal
supply, the case seems conclusive
The objection that coal is a home pro-
duet, while oil is imported, is of no
relevance from a naval or stategical
point of view, because if we were
prevented from importing oil, we
could not import any other necessity
of national existence. This and other
objections will no doubt continue to
be urged, since the withdrawal of the
British navy's consumption, followed
as it must be by that of foreign ma
vies, will be serious thing for the
steam-eoal producers in our midst.
Theirs are powerful interests, but
not interests in whose favor the ad-
miralty could properly forego the
highest efficiency.-London Chronicle.
