The srAall army of public school teachers who instruct the children of New York's lowest East Side fina that young America in tlke making is an interesting study. When the young American springs from the Hebraic stock it is doubly interest ing. Inborn shrewdness will crop out even in the pupils of tender years. A teacher was striving to interest her class in American history b.x more or less dramatic representations of certain historical scenes. in which the children themselves took on for the women the various historic char acters. The subject was the occas ion of Willin Peen appearing be fore the English king in demand of some right claimed by himself and his Quarker brethren in the colony of Pennsylvania. A youngster ot becoming sternness of ecountenance represented the monarch. A -pert young miss, in the character of Penn, demanded recognizition of him ~in anything but a Quakerish manner. ''Now, children,'' said the teaeh er, ''do you really believe that Wil liam Penn would have gone before the king with such an air? Would he have been successful had he put his claim so boldly and .bluntly to the king? Cannot somebody else show us more nearly how Peann would have approached the king with his prayer for relief?'' A timid littlte girl with eagerness in her face, her black eyes shining, waved her hand. ''Ah!' said the teacher. recogniz ing her. ''Do you think you could do it better, R.achel?'' Raehel blushingly believed she could. ''How would you have approached the king?'' asked the teacher. The influence of plaeating genera tions was shown in the answer. ''I vould ask him, 'how iss peezi ness?''' said Rahel.-Youth 's Companion. ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A GOOD STOMACH. This Offer Should Be a Warning To Every Man a.nd Woman.
