Court of a New Jersey town awarded sAx cents to a father suing a company for damages for the death of his eight year-old von, killed by ono of the com jwuty'a motortrucks. The verdict was based on tho difference between the boy's amity; capacity and Ills expense to his parents until ho became of working ago. A curious reader, referring to this In tance, wants to know, if six conts be tho Value of a boy, what then Is tho valuo ef a girl? AT FIRST thought we might bo In . cllned to remark that, according to tho rating of tho New Jersey Circuit Court, a fathor would have to pay tho sued company for tho privilege of having his daughter run over. But a second thought says no. Tho cost of daughters is high but not as high ns wo think It Is. Our girls nro going1 to work not tho ones who always did go to work, but those who wcro supposed to coino homo from finishing school and gracefully orna Merit the hearth until a moneyed knight eomo riding. Our girls are going to work our Clara bellaa, our Catherines and our Janes! And let mo tell you when this army of ambition gets together and kicks tho traces of tho soft sido of life something happens to a law In economics. The high cost of daughters comes down! THIS Isn't happening In leaps and bounds. It goes slowly because tho Way of the worker Is hard. It Is so hard that sometimes sho has to sigh, give up, go back and bo expensive, just llko every ene says she Is, anyhow.

The boy across tho aisle said to mo at recess, "You aro all right, kid " I said, "I know It. but how did you find It out?" Ho said, "Vou did not bqueal when I hhowed you tho snake." I said, "That was easy, for I don't ever squeal. I am sorry about losing your snake and now I owo you one and will get you a perfectly good snake to pay you back." Ho said, "Aw, forget It." Then the boy asked mo, "Havo you got a brother?" I said. "Xo." Then ho said, "Aro thero any kids In this school that you want licked? I can lick all of them. If any ono of them does something you don't like I will lick him for you." I said, "That's fine I Go nnd lick that big kid under the tree with tho book " Ho said, "What has that kid dono to you?" I said, "Nothing, but I want to see you lick him." So he went over and knocked tho big boy's bat oft and said, "Get up and fight!" The big boy said, "What for? What havo I done to you?" The other boy said, "Nothing, but I don't like your face." The big boy said, "Oh, very well," and punched him on the noso so hard that he fell over backward. Tho big boy then sat down again and opened bis book where his finger was and yawned and studlod his lesson.

(Copjrisht.) of Ethics said, "Why didn't you lick him?" The boy said, "I made a mlstako when I said I could lick eery kid in school, but I can lick them all except that kid " Then the bell rang and wo went to our beats. After school I went over to the woodsy placo near Bell's house and dug a worm to go fishing where the river watchman is. On tho way to tho watchman's I went Into a store to get a pickle.' A woman was there who had just got a bottlo of milk, and she said, to the storekeeper, "Did you get my dime?" Ho bald, "No, rna'm," she said, "I laid It right here" He said, "I did not see It." She bald, "That Is strange." and bho looked rlgbt at me and said, "Did vou seo my dime, llttlo girl?" I paid, "No, ma'am." Sho raid, "What have you got In your hand?" I said, "Nothing" She said, "You have, too You havo grabbed my dime." I said. "You nro crazy." Sho said, "Open your hand." So I did and showed her the worm and she said, "Oh, you horrid child 1" The man laughed, and then she said, "Why, hero is my dime under this wrapping paper." I said, "Are you sorry?" She said, "For what?" I said, "For calling mo a thief." Sho said, "You don't look any too good for It " So when sho looked around to bee If the bananas were any good, which thoy weren't, I dropped tho worm Into Vi.e bottlo of milk and went over to our house) nnd sat on tho step and hated her for n long time. It was lato when I got out to Jim and Maggie's, but they got some supper foi Rowdy and me and I told them about the. woman nnd the worm and Jim said I did right and Maggie said I did wrong, but both, of them laughed.

Luclan Osborne, a professor of physics, used to tell his college classes a generation ago that law Is a modo of action. If thcso two definitions are combined one will get In a few words what Maxwell hns trlod to say In one of tho best books of ndvlco to young men nnd old ones that has appeared In many a day. He sets forth his views on law In tho course of n discussion of what he would do If ho were twenty-ono and wcro planning his career over again. Every business man ought to study law, not for tho knowledgo he would gain of whnt Is legal and what Is not, but Lccauso law Is tho expression of public opinion Thero Is nothing bo Important for n business man to know as tho stnto of mind of his generation. That Is epitomized nowhere so welt as in the statutes. Pro fesBor Osborne's view of law ns a modo of nclion finds unconscious expression through out tho whole of Maxwell's book. The laws of tho mind and tho laws of business are merely formulations of the way In which tho mind acta upon Itself nnd reacts Upon the course of conduct. Tho wholo book is devoted to a dlscubtflon of tho different ways In which a man may find out what nro tho laws In accordance with which men act nnd how to conform his courso to them. Tho chapter headings suggest tho different nnglcs from which ho approaches tho subject. Somo of i.irm are "If I started again," "Finding your place In life," "Self-esteem nnd self-confidence" "Getting a job." "Handling men" nnd "Writing a business letter." His tlows regarding finding your placo In llfo differ from those commonly held, nlthough they conform to tho practice of many successful men a practlco forced upon them not by choice, but from necessity. Mr, Maxwell A GIRL WITH A TEMPERAMENT Nance Molloy, Alice Hegan Rice's Newest Heroine, Worth Get ting Acquainted With "Ladles and gentlemen, allow me to pre sent Kanco Molloy, a girl with a tempera ment," might very well be pi luted on the title page of Alice Hegan rtlco's latest novel, "Calvary Alley." Nance was born In tho same social clrclo as the people In "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch." Mrs. Rico makes her Interesting, along with the rest of tho humblo folk who move through her, pages, because she has discovered that the things that make men alike In tho world aro stronger than tho things that mako them different. Herein Is the wholo secret of Mrs. Rice's popularity. She has grasped tho fact that "wo nro all folks," and that it Is folks who are Interesting, It matters not whether they bo rich or poor. What uver may havo been her original Intent In writing, sho has mado It evident In "Cal vary Alley" that bho has deliberately bet out to preach democracy. Tho story deals with tho llfo and adven tures of n girl born In a squalid alley In the rear of Calvary Cathedral, In a southern city. Her mother died and her father mar ried again. Then her father died and her stepmother took a second husband, so that when tho Etory opens sho is what she de scribes ns a "two-step." Because condi tions in her homo were bad, sho Is sent to n Stato home for girls, where she remains three or four years. Tho homo Is intelli gently managed, nnd Nanco Improves under thn dlsclnllnc. As Mrs. Rice remarks, "It was tho first tlmo she had ever been tempted to be good, and sho fell." Later sho works In a glass factory, Is a companion to a deaf old woman, has a brief experience on the stago qualifies as a stenographer and gets a job nnd finally becomes a trained nurse. Her temperament makes her Inter esting from first to last, and tho Inherent goodness of her naturo keeps' her straight when tho Influences of her surroundings tend to drag her down. The story Is entertaining because of Mrs. Rico's fine gift of humor nnd because of her skill In drawing character. Those who caro to read between tho lines will find It a most subtlo arraignment of Boclal con ditions ngalnst which tho very poor find It difficult to tight. While tho book Is not literature of the highest type measured by the best -standards if Is faulty, indeed it Is so much better than the average popu lar novel that those who read It need nct apologize to the highbrows for liking It, CATjVAHY ALLEY.
