LOOK TO FOURTH GENERATION
First Three Generations of Mod
ern Americans.

The North American child is too
often merely the by-product OF mar
riage. 1t serves as an outlet for that
pride which its parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t is
petted, cajOled. pampered, Overdressed
and underdisciplined, till there is
evolved a strange pigmy for whom the
world soon grows banal, who is deSti-
tute of the petidOnary appeal OF child
hood and who surveys an already an
ticipated and thoroughly analysed fu-
ture with the cold eyes OF unnatural
knowledge, Alan Sullivan writes in
Harper'S Magazine for August The
world is its football 1t is smart be-
yOnd description But there is in the
forced garden of its life no sheltered
bed where may bloom the flowers OF
graciOusneSs or peace OF such will

few traditions of courtlineSs, scant
reminders that nObleSse Oblige, and

brushed by a youth OF color, Bfbbs
went into his own room and closed the
door.
He was more shaken than he had
allowed his father to perceive. and his
side was sore where Sheridan had
struck him. He desired to be alone;
he wanted 70 rub himself and. for once.
to do some useless thinking again. He
knew that his father had not ''hRp-
pened" to run into him; he knew that
Sheridan had instantIy-and instinct

IS SEVEN MYSTIC NUMBER?
Here Are Some Facts Which Might
Support the Theory That Ii
Has Some Power.

The Germans say that "A1 good
things are three; but seven is also
remarkable, one might almost say
mystical, number.
The little girl in WQrdswOrth's we'll
known poem said: I'VE are seven"
The days of the week are seven The
colors Of the rainbow are seven The
notes Of the musical scale are seven
Cthe eighth one being the same as the
frst). There were said to be seven
sages of Greece, and seven kings Of
Rome, and the city of Rome was built
on seven hills. London city has seven
hills also; CornhiIl. Snow hill. Lud-
gate hill, Fish Street hill, Bread Street
hill. Holborn hill and Tower hill
The world was made in seven days
There were seven famous cities Of an
tiquity: Rome, Antioch, NineEeh, Baby
lon, Athens, Tyre and Carthage
There are seven wonders Of the
world, that is Of the ancient world, and
these were: The Colossus Of Rhodes
"a huge statue striding across the en-
trance to the harbor Of Rhodes), the
Pyramids, the Ephesian temple Of Di-
ana, the mausoleum Cor tomb Of King
MausoIus, the remains OF which are
now in the British museum), the hang
ing gardens Of Babylon, the Statute Of
Jupiter and the Pharos.
There are also seven wonders Of his
tory. These are: The Colosseum, the
Catacombs, the Great Wall Of China.
Stonehenge, the Leaning Tower OF Pr
sa, the Porcelain Tower of Eankin and
the Mosque of St. Sophia at CONSTANT
nople.
Here are the seven new wonders Of
the world: Wireless, the telephone, the
areoplsne. radium, antiseptics and an
titoxins, spectrum analysis, X-rays.
There are many passages IN the 81
bic in which the number seven is men
toned. and it is on this account and
the facts mentioned above that seven
is considered a sacred number.

Was His Humor Conscious?

A young woman in Pittsburgh was
recently looking at material in one Of
that city's leading dry goods stores in
an attempt to select what would make
an attractive skirt for the seashOre-
The clerk rather strenuOusly suggested
the availability of several patterns
But" said the young woman, they
are rather loud, don't you think2'
Without q glimmer of a smile. and in
a perfectly correct tone for salesman
to assume, he replied:

and as there was a glimpse of his pro-
file she saw for the first time a resem-
bIance to his father
She watched them In the middle Of
the street Bibbs had to step ahead of
his father. and the two were separated.
But the reckless passing of a truck,
beyond the second line of rails. fright
ened a group of country women who
were in course of passage: they were
just in front of Bibbs. and showed
backward upon him violently. To ex-
tricate himself from them he stepped
back. directly in front of a moving
trolley car-no place for absent-mind-
edness. but. Bibbs was still absorbed
in thoughts concerned with what he
had been saying to his father. There
were shrieks and yeIIs: Bfbbs looked
the wrong way-and then Mary saw
the heavy figure of Sheridan plunge
straight forward in front of the car
With absolute disregard of his own
life. he hurled himself at Bibbs like a
football player shUnting off an oppO-
nent, and to Mary it seemed that they
both went down together. But that
was all she could see-automobiles,
trucks and wagons closed in between.
She made out that the trolley car
stopped jerkily. and she saw a police
man breaking his way through the in
stantly condensing crowd. while the
traffic came to a standstill. and people
stood up in automobiles or climbed
upon the hubs and tires of wheels, not
to miss a chance of seeing anything
horrible
Mary tried to get through; it was
impossible. Other policemen came to
help the first, and In a minute or two
traffic was in motion again. The
crowd became plant. dispensing
was no figure upon the ground, and no
ambulance came. But one of the po-
licemen was detained by the clinging
and beseeching of a gloved hand.
What is the matter, lady?"
Where are they?" Mary cried.
