pompous and very stately bearing
certainly may expose the person who
wears it to ridicule. Sydney Smith said
that Mrs. Siddons, the celebrated actress,
stabbed even potato" She carried
a stage manner always with her and was
nothing if not histrionic." It's related
of Elliston, one of the best eommedians
of his day, that he could be majestic to
high degree. During his time
pageant was presented at a London
Theatre, in honor of George ". Ellis
ton personated his gentlemanly majesty
- and entered so heartily into his part
that he not only acted the King, but felt
the monarch. He said "Rless you, my
people" with as much royalty of manner
and more sincerity, than George him
self could have done.
There are many actors in the world
besides the professionals, and some of
them do the Bombastes to perfection.
Hence it comes to pass that dignity of
| manner is regarded with many people
as a subject of amusement, if not of
covert contempt. The sincerity of
precise and respectful demeanor is sus-
pected. The most recent expression of
this feeling is in CHASING the men who
are what is called polite in manners,
as "dudes." That there are frivolous
individuals, whose souls are in their
| neckties, and what brains they nave are
| in their hair, is a fact patent to all
observers. Dickens has ridiculed the
petty pomp of manners in one Of his
most effective characters, Mr.. Turvey-
drop. But few of the aoyellst's persona-
ges attract and amuse the mass of
readers more than Mr.. Turveydrop, who
found his beings end and aim in "deport-
ment."
But the question rises whether there
is not a tendency, in laughing at the
caricatures, to forget genuine good
manners, and to undervalue the sincere
courtesy which treats every man with
Difference. The women of course, are
always right, and the young ones es-
pecially very proper. The day when to
| be lady like" was to be charmingly
helpless, has gone out with satin slippers,
and more dashing style has come in
with stout walking shoes. Yet there
may be doubt with old-fashioned folk
whether young ladies may not carry this
freedom of manner too far. There is no
harm in it, per Sc, and hearty and free
movements are charming as we'll as
| healthful in young men as well as
women. The poet, however, talks of the
poetry of notion" and the word is all
the pleasanter, and society more attrac-
| tive, if poetry is not forgotten amid the
under prose of life and intercourse.

fc0STISUKD IN OUR MKT.
The Spotter Fooled for Once.

"Do YOU want to see n real spotter'
at work?' whispered Il stout, ruddy-
faced surface ear conductor to re-
porter, whom he knew, us the latter
scrambled upon the rear platform of a
crowded upward-bOund ear. "Well,
then, notice that dudish-looking chap
in the far corner on the ri9ht-hand side
the fellow with book in his hand, |
mean"
The reporter casually glanced in the
direction indicated and saw "A hand

young man who seemed to be deeply en-
crossed in the contents of neatly
bound copy of judith Shakespeare, " the
pages of which he skinned with the
rapidity of a veteran reviewer. He had
pencil in his hand with which he fire.
quently wrote something on the margin
or underlined sentences that struck his
fancy. There was so little of the imagi-
nary .'spOtter" about the youths make
up that the reporter turned to the fare
taker again with a half incredulous
smile and asked him if he was not ''off'

''Ob, no. replied the conductor, mot

have been for week past. Some of the
boys found him out about eight days
ago, and, of course, the word was quick
ly passed along the line. just watch
him yourself;don't you see how he makes
some sort of mark with his pencil
every time passenger gets on? He got
on near the city hall and will probably
ride up to the stables with me, and if
my register does not tally with his
marks you may be sure I'll hear about
il. But am not blowing in anything
for my household expenses this trip.
You can't call this that he is working a
new dodge exactly; it is but another
form of an old wrinkle. Sometimes they
keep account of the fares by turning
down the corners of the leaves of the
book which they pretend to read. Then
again they will come aboard with a
certain number of peanuts in their
pockets and eat one for each passenger
we take up, and the number left de-

ON to these new devices. however. and
they have to keep, inventing new
schemes to entrap us all the time. A
few Of these spoilers are really smart;
they can watch us. keep tally. day after
day, and yet we are not able to find
them out These use no outward APP
pliances, however. but depend entirely
upon their memories, which are excel
lent. One or two of them are women, |
understand. In my opinion it is getting
harder every day for any man to live
dishonesty in this town.
Just before the stables were reached
the young man shut the book, turned to-
ward the register. and got off the car by
the front platform As he walked away
down a side street there was look OF
disappointment on his face that showed
he had taken at least one trip in vain.-

Formerly the visitor had to find his way

riage, or if he prefers the donkey as
thing of tradition and quite en- regie, he
follows the same splendid road built by

for the saddle. he has, of course, pre-
viously made the acquaintance of a

ity do not entail suiferings after the ex-
ercise- 1t is not hard TO find an animal
of this description. for in spite of those
malign tourists to whom seat In q

boys more malicious, unless scolded or
otherwise maltreated. The tourists will

FARMKns nearly always count most
on their bottom lands, but science is
discovering new values in the hill crops.
The sweet and most nutritious crops
come from the fields on the tops of the
hills; they are more palatable and health

the dregs Of malarial atmosphere are
not found in them.

Each leaf and blossom, ere the breeze's signing

And on the hill Of noon they seem 70 shiver
Their shining iances, and the shadows creep

Where fairy-folk their nightly vigils keep.

Whose nectarcups the humming birds are slipping,
Lies slumbsring in his poppy scented bower.

Smiles blushingly 10 see its scarlet shaeth
With snowy blossoms OF Hydrangea blending,
