You can therefore take due notice from this

ALBANY, TEX, January ia petition is
being circulated here by the anti-prohibi-
bitiOnists asking for a general election on
prohibition over the whole county to deter
mine whether the majority Of the county is
In favor of prohibition. If prohibition IS
defeated serious complications win arise.
AS the precinct was for local option by
large majority last August, the question viii
come up as to whether the majority Of the

But 1 viii only mention a few of the
most noticeable.
A lady enters a hOrse-car; ever7 seat
Is taken; she chances along the Row Of
upturned faces with a naughty stare ;
one gentleman, near the end, can not
Withstand the sharp glance she gives
him, and, rising, offers her his seat.
With an audible sigh she sinks grace
fully into it, never deigning to give as
much as a nod of thanks to the man
who stands mp and clings to the little
strap that waves over his head, thereby
making himself extremely uncOmfOrt-
able that she may be seated.
Presently a lady seated next to her
leaves the car. Then what does she
do? Think you she gives the man
standing a chance to sit down? You
would, perhaps, but she does nothing
Of the sort. With a little shake of
her dress she settles herself more com
fOrtably, thus monopolizing both Of
the seats, evidently much to her own
satisfaction.
Pres entity the car stops again, and a
lady enters carrying an infant. Do
you imagine the dress Is pulled aside
and the tired young mother is offered
seat Ii so, you are mistaken, for
the woman who is so comfortably
seated does not move. Then some
thing happens; the door opens and the
conductor enters, and his voice is
plainly heard all over the car: CLOSE
up, here, and give this lady a seat. !"
Then, and not until then, does she
condescend to move.
can not understand. why it is, but
in nine cases out of ten a man is more
polite than IA woman.
My idea is that one never loses any
thing by little true pOiteness. It is
very simple thing to say "Thank
you, when one is offered a seat in a
crowded car. Yet how few take the
trouble to say it.
I suppose the lady who neglects to
thank q gentleman for giving up his
seat to her considers it every mans
dur to stand up and let the ladies sit
do Il.
I, for che, do not think so. In my
estimation man has as good q right
to retain his seat in the car as any lady
has, and if he rises and offers it to
lady, it is simply because the man is a
true gentleman, and his natural manly
pOiteness will not permit him to be
seated while a lady IS obliged to
stand.
imagine MS Ie6LngS Wnen she taxes
it as a matter of course, without a
word OF thanks. One could not
blame him if he registered VOW to
keep his seat in the future.
If, in going from a large building, a
gentleman politely stops and holds
open the heavy door fora lady, a stran-
ger, to pass out, I should think it would
be an impOssibility for her to get
through the door without some ac-
acknowledgement of his kindness.
But twice this week have Witnessed
a like case. Once was directly
behind the lady CD who passed out,
without word of thanks, and as the
gentleman held the door open for me
also [ politely said Thank you. And
I am telling the truth when I say that
he looked so astonished I was positively
afraid he would lose his equilibrium
and 60 down the steps too quickly for
comfort.
Evidently he was not accustomed to
receiving thanks for so small an act of
kindness. Perhaps he thought was
fro.l the "country, for it seems to be
the style of the city people to COM
pletely ignore any little act Of polite.

CHICAGO, July ia local paper says: a
circular has been issued that bears the slg.
nature of the chief officers of the principal
labor organizations of the United States
T. V. Powderly, grand master workman
and John Nj. Hays, grand secretary OF the
knights of Labor; Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the federation of]abor; w. N. Sar-
gent, chief of the locomotive fremen, and
others. The locomotive engineers, through
p. NJ. Arthur, true to their principle OF e1-
clusiveness and antagonism have kept away
from other organizations and thereby
highten the bitter feeling existing against
them among other traders.
The circular is the outcome of q confer
ence held some time ago in Philadelphia,
the object being the formation of an alliance
between the organizations represented by
the signatures. II has been issued privately
to the organizations and is not supposed to
by known to the public. If the alliance is
realized it will be by far the most formld-
able organization that ever existed In the
United States Or elsewhere. The circular
calls upon alp organizations of labor to
strengthen and solidify their ranks to the
ultimate end of bringing within their men,
bership every man and woman who tolls.
A convention of delegates is to be called.
If the various organizations approve of the
plan for the purpose of devising some def
mite scheme OF coalition.
