Thrifty Children.

You may have read the story about
the Rockefeller children. 1t seems they
longed for a boat Of their own. Some
playmates, knowing something about
the enormous wealth Of the formers
parents. demanded OF the children:
why don't you get boat?"
The young Rockefellers were some
what aghast at the proposal and ex-
claimed: who do you think We are,
the Vanderbilts?"
The story is told to disclose the
fact that the children's parents have
deemed 1t best not to inform them of
their potential wealth.
Children cannot be taught thrift
when they are also taught they will
waste. If they like. Thrift Is found in
a child when that child must make
pennies do prodigal tasks, and when
the modest allowance is the limit OF his
resources.
The idle spendthrift Of today is not
always the child of the wealthy. He
is often the child of folk who have
not had money long enough to teach its
use to their children.
There are extremes in both direction.
There are parents who overdo the thrift
motif by denying their children the
comforts and social advantages that
should be theirs; There are others who
pamper their children until they are
spoiled for life.
There Is a mean which the intelli-
gent parent recognizes. 1t Is that Of
providing modest sums for spending
for children so that they may practice
thrift, and value money properly, 1t
also includes sccuStoming ones chill

FAMOUS HATES AND HATERS
Andrew Jackson Sorry Until the Last He Couldn Punish Clay

Andrew jackson Is said to have left
the White House deeply regretting that
fate, by making him President, had de-
MED him an opportunity to punish
Henry Clay and John G. Calhoun.
After word came to him that Clay
had cast the basest reflections on him
during debate In the Senate, Jackson
sighed:
"Oh. that had or these robes Of

From the White House, Jackson sent
a scathing note to Calhoun for asper-
sions the South Carolinian had made in
a Senate speech. Calhoun's reply was
to have the note read IN open session.

One Is that more sunlight is admitted

Calhoun incurred Jackson's enmity
during the celebrated Peggy Eaton
affair. Wives of cabinet officers refused
to recognize Peggy Eaton, wife OF Secre-
tary of War Eaton, and the daughter
of washington boarding house keeper.
Among these was Mrs. John G. Calhoun,
wife OF the then Vice President. Presi-

tried to get Calhoun to change his

causing a resentment that grew into
positive dislike.

Of living they will one day enjoy.
Parents who clutch their purse strings
tightly fortunately do not see the
prodigal spending that follows soon aft
er their demise.
One wealthy father of unusual intel
llgence has said a boy should not be
given more money than he can earn,
nor girl more money than her future
husband is likely to provide her with.
He refers. Of course, to children past
school age.
We are beginning to realize that folk
with money have a responsible task.
They must learn their responsibility in
childhood in a gradual way, and ac-
quire financial Judgment as they pro-
gress in years. A child does not be-
come thrifty on the eve of his twenty
first birthday as some parents evident
ly expect him to. A childs course In
thrift should begin at 6 years of age,
and be finished at maturity.
