The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1890-01-15

The Hungarian Government has
started decidedly novel Temperance
experiment. 1t has obtained control Of
10000 taverns throughout the country,
mostly by purchase, and the majority Of
these places will be converted into pub
lie school-houses. 1t will be interest
ing to watch the effect OF this move
ment. The Hungarian Government rec
ognizes the evil of an unrestricted
liquor traffic and thinks it time to call q
halt. Nearly 10000 school-houses in
the place of the same number of taverns
is certainly great transformation, and
the moral results can not fail to b
benefcent. Altogether the incident is
notable indication of the growth OF

THE BEST DOG.
One That is True to His Master and Will
Stand by Him in Trouble.

Stand by Him in Trouble.
Bert and Tommy had been reading
stories about intelligent dogs. Then
they began to talk and guess which
would be the best sort to have. They
could not agree, so they thought they
would ask their grandfather's opinion.
They ran to him, both asking the same
question:: (Which is the best kind of a
dog, grandpa"
He put his newspaper down and took
his glasses off, and answered, slowly:
''That kind that will be true to master
and stand by him no matter what hap
pens" Then he said: 81 have read and
heard of many dogs doing wonderful
things, but l never really knew but one
that would make the hero of story.
He was homely yellow cur that nobody
would have paid cent for"
''Oh, do tell us about himW said Bert
and Tommy together.
So their grandfather folded his paper
and went on talking slowly: ''Once l
was travelling on road in country full
of hills and hollows. 1t was a snowy
day in winter, with a high wind. l was
hurrying along to get out of the storm,
when little dog jumped up in front of
me, barking with all his might
81 tried to drive him off, but he
howled and hung on to my coat in such
a way that began to think he was beg
cling me to help him. So l stopped, and
then he ran back few steps and stood
waiting for me to come.
81 followed him, and looking over the
bank by the roadside saw man part
ly buried in the snow. l went to him
and found that he had slipped on the ice
and fallen down into deep gully, where
he lay with sprained ankle.
81 helped him up, but he could hardly
move, for he was so old and feeble and
benumbed with the cold. In short
time i saw boy in wagon driving in
our direction. I shouted to him, and
when he saw what had happened he said
he knew the old man and would take
! him home.
1--WE lifted him into the wagon and
made him as comfortable as we could.
'The little dog had stood near look
ing very serious and anxious till he saw
that his master was in safe place.
Then he went wild with Joy, frisking
around and licking my hands to thank
me. Then he scampered of after the
wagon as fast as he could 60. Now, ]
call that the right kind of dog"

$50 do l." echoed Tommy.-M. E. N.

The Many Discourtesies That Should BE
Assiduously Avoided.

Assiduously Avoided.
Mr.. James Russell Lowell has just
given such positive lesson in grammar
that every school-boy and girl should
see il. A pupil in school in Pennsyl-
vauia wrote asking Mr.. Lowell for his
autograph, in this form: 81 would be
very much obliged for your autograph"
She received this reply:
"Pray do not say hereafter 4 would be
obliged II you would be obliged be obliged
and be done with it. Say 4 should be Obliged
and oblige Yours truly,
JAMS RUSSELL LowELL
This gives an opportunity to speak of
some Of the mistakes, if notdiscourtesies,
Of letter-writing. 1t may seem to some of
our young readers, who have the benefit
of associating with careful, well-trained
parents, that these remarks are unneces-
sary. but if you should sit looking over
an editors shoulder you would be sur
prised at the errors of taste, the ignorant
mistakes, made by people who should
know better. Never begin a letter
s'Mr. Jones'" 1t is as ill-bred as to call
Mr.. Jones "John" when you have but
slight. if any, acquaintance with him.
A shade worse is to sign yourself,
"Yours truly, Mr.. James Brown"
Did you ever hear the story of the
man who had such high respect for
himself that he always removed his hat
when he used his own name, or referred
20 himself? The man who signs his
name with the prefix Mr." must be
that mans brother; and the woman who
signs herself Mrs" Or Miss" must be
his sister. The wprd dear" preixing
