FOUR YEAR OLD BOY
s, SPEAKS FOUR LANGUAGES

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. H.
Ezra Rachlin, four-and-one-half-
year-old boy of this city is attracting
much attention among California
educators because OF his remarkable
mental Attachments.
Ezra is devoting himself particul-
larry to mathematics, but in his
lighter moments he plays a great
piano In the drawing room of the
home Of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Rachlin.
He speaks Yiddish, Russian and
English with remarkable fiuency.
Some times he peruses poetic and
railroads.&c. treatises. As q sample
of his library favorites can be men
toned "The Sunken BelP' of Haupt-
mann, Fairy Tales of Eastern Eur
ope" and THE Wonderful Adventure
of Niles"
According to his mother Ezra has
never been pushed in his mental de-
velopment in any way.
Ellis life is very simple and quite
like other children" said Mrs. Rach-
lin. II expect to have him trained
by special tutor and not send him
to school until he is practically ready
for college work. ,'
"He learned to read Theoretically
and we began training him so early
only because he demanded informa-
tion along all lines"
Ezra has just one aversion, SO far
as is known. And that is little girls.

a light in the house as she neared it.
As she fitted the key to the door a
stream of pretty music met her ear.
The next moment she stood at the
parlor threshold.
There at the piano sat Judson
Marsh. He was softly playing Loves
Old Sweet Song" Gladys noted a
wreath on the piano holding card
board disc reading:
Merry Christmas--A token of love
from the people of Cedar Grove"
"Oh! it is impossible" began
Gladys, and broke down from emo
ton. And then as the hand Of Judson
Marsh gently clasped her own, with
downcast eyes and happy, happy
heart she listened to his fervent
avowal Of the love that had made
him better man.

on each succeeding visit it pleased him
to note the change for the better in
the child. Her devotion to her teach
err was something pathetic. This was
the period when Judson Marsh
changed his course of life. A time too
when the merest passing word with
| Miss Revere seemed to cause him to
| lift his head higher. and the influence
| of a worthy resolve was noticeable
in his bronzed, impressive face.
1t was about month before Christ
mas when the settlement was visited
by Marsh on horseback. There was
something about him that reminded of
his old time briskness and fOrcible,
imperative ways. In turn he visited
twenty of the leading men and pre-
sented to each his proposition. Time
was when anything Marsh suggested
was carried out from motives of policy
In the present instance he found will

thetic.

That was agreed upon. Also It was

dusk while she was at the schOolhouse.

abyss of his wretchedness. "Yes, I'll
do it will! will"
The other clapped him roughly on
the shoulder with saturnine leer and
attempt at jocular fellowship.
"Well. thought cha would" he
rasped hoarsely. well meet cha at
the corner by the lumber yard at 80.
Don't you fail to be there now!"
Il won't! I'll be there all right 7"
Tom muttered brokenly. Already in
his cringing soul he felt like the thief
he had pledged himself to become. Oh
heaven, if only
To kill time until the appointed
hour, he dug his numb hands deeper
down into his pockets and wandered
airnlessly on. He had no particular
objective in mind save only the need
to keep moving lest he freeze or go
mad with the strain of waiting. He
shrank from letting himself think of
the deed to which he was about to be
party.
lnvoluntarily his dragging footsteps
took him back into the more brilliant
ly lighted retail shopping district,
where the crowds already had thinned,
hurrying home to their families and
happy, expectant Riddles with the Holt
day celebration in mind.
The hours dragged slowly by. 1t
came near the hour for the stores to
close. But still there was time, if
poor Tom had only had money, to
have rushed in, bought the presents
he wanted for the old folks and chill
dren, and caught the midnight train
back to the country. He easily could
reach there by morning and appear as
joyous surprise to them -

titiously examined 1t. Bills-both
green and yellow. Of large denomina-

But the most gladstone feature Of
young Toms homecoming that next
day was his bIushing announcement to
the old folks that he had had enough

TRADE FUTURE
LOOKS HEALTHY
New York. Business Services
Says No Need for Alarm.

NEW YORK, March e.-The monthly
letter of the Alexander Hamilton insti-
tute, issued today, reviewing general
business conditions and the outlook for
the future, says that. despite the finan-
-cial crisis many lines of trade are
viewing the business situation compla-
Gently because they see no evidence Of
OYerproduction, and therefore no occa-
sion for an immediate selling movement.
Thls seems to be true among dealers
In cotton goods and in petroleum prod
ucts. But there is a more conservative
spirit among wooden merchants on ac-
count of the plentiful supplies of the
raw material, and the large imports of
raw silk cause hesitation among silk
dealers. The leather market also is un-
settled.
In iron and steel and lumber there is
conspicuous strength, and owing to the
high rents and continued building eper-
atfonS 1t is expected that these COM
med1ties, together with brick and other
building materials, will remain strong
Ihere is a prevalent opinion that the
sheer urgency of the demand for indus
trial buildings and public works, as we'll
as. residential buildings, will cause oper-
atoms in this line to go forward dur
ing the rest of the year, regardless Of
-mgh wages, prices and interest rates.
On the other hand, there is an oppo-
site opinion TO the effect that as soon
as contracts already financed are com
p9eleu, the consumption or building ma
terials, as we'll as other goods, VIII
tend to decline, because new contracts
maue during the next few months will
be reduced. This idea, in other words,
is that there is a divergence between
the desire for goods and the actual de-
mand, and that even though people NAV
desire as much this year as. they did
last year, they viii be able to buy less,
owing to tight money. Consequently.
it is argued, although the supply OF
goods now seems short, the same amount
will prove adequate after tight money
causes the demand to fall of.
The discussion. then, comes back to
the question of bank credit, AMI in this
connection 1t IS interesting to note the
following quotation from the annual re-
port of the federal reserve boarJ, issued
last week.
TOO rapid or too drastic defation
would defeat the very purpose of WELL
regulated credit system by the needless
unsettlement of mind it would produce
and the disastrous reaction that such
unsettlement would have upon produce
tive industry.
Radical and drastic defation is not
therefore in contemplation, nor is a poll
icy of further expansion.
The intfmation that further expansion
Will be checked by credit restriction
suggests that financial pressure will soon
compel a reduction in the demand for
commodities and a decline in prices Just
there has been a slump In the stock
market for the same reason. The out
standing signs Of decline in commodity
prices are a growth of economy, large
Imports more conservative commitments
by merchants end prospects of some
falling off in exports.
