ELDERS TAKE SECOND PLACE Writer Aeeerte Thst Spanish Chlldrs* Ate the Worsi Spoiled Young ster* en the Earth. W. B. Trltea, a writer, who recently returned from Spain, was talking la Philadelphia about Spanish children. "Spanish dllldfen,'' said he, "are the worst spoiled, and Spanish parents the most indulgent, tn the world. The din- j Ing aqd reception room* of Spanish hotels swarm with screaming, frollek Ing, fighting children, hut the Spanish guests smile Indulgently. A child of Mix eat# uk much ax It likes of every* thing on the table, and accompanies Its parents everywhere. At three or four o'clock in the morning, the usual hour for Spanish entertainment* to come to niii end, innumerable tlnjr tots, exhausted, are bundled Into watting carriages by loving parents. If you j ink them why they didn't leave the , poor babies at borne, they shrug their j sbouldera and Answer,- helplessly: 'They wanted to come.' "I suppose the only reason one doe* n't see Spanish babies seated at the cafes behind glasses of beer or whisky Is because they prefer their sugury sir ups." Mr. Trites smiled. '?An Kng^sh newspaper correspond ent,'' be continued, "strolled through the reception room at the Madrid, ho* tel at which 1 stayed, when a Spanish mother said to a friend beside her: " 'That Englishman doesn't like chtl* dren.' "'How do you know?' said hep friend. " 'Because,' was the reply, 'my little Carlos went Into his room yesterday, while he was out, to have a little fun with bis typewriter. The child only played with the machine and sharpen ed the pencils on his desk with a rnzor that was there. And yet I notice that whenever the Englishman sees Carlos now be looks cross.'" Wild Animals In Banff. Although Hnnff, Alberta, Is a hustling village during the summer and is thronged with tourists, wild deer from ihe mountain* are to be seen daily on the streets and *? t night stately elk leap from the roads In the bushes to escape approaching automobiles. If a Banff cottager expects to cat his own "garden truck" he builds n deer-proof fence around Ills patch. The grounds of Brett hospitnl are open from the street and the other night a half-dozen mule deer made ? raid upon the flower garden. Banff Is the capital of Itocky Mountain park, and shooting game within the park l^nlts Is forbidden by law. The deer, being unmolested, have heroine very tame, and even u bear now and then pays a friendly visit to the village. Not long ago^a bicyclist, speeding down one of the side streets at night, hit a dark object and turned a somersault or two before he hit the macadam. Sitting up, he looked around and discovered n bear hitting the trail for home as fast as four legs could carry hltn. Although tame and somewhat obtrusive, the deer, elk and bear do not relish too close :iii acquaintance with man, and have proved themselves to be not only picturesque but perfectly safe neigh bors.

It was for an even $.r)00,000. ^Thomas never smiled as he asked If the patron wished gold in change. Chen said this would suit him, but when four men started to pull a big truck from the Bank of Canton, Chen decid ed thaf a certificate of deposit would be bettor. He has made a fortune In ! Panama hats and Is going to Hong- ' kong to establish a new agency. Find River Jordan Unclean. Bathing In the River Jordan, famous j In sacred history, has lost its popular ity as the result of the discovery by American physicians that it Is a dan gerous disease germ carrier.
