WHAT Is A POPULAR MAN2

Somebody said not long ago that
a certain man was sure to succeed in
something because he was SO popu-
lar. 1t started the question in my
mind as to what constituted a popular
man. Close study has taught me
this much:
A popular man is one who is al
ways ready to take drink, but
doesn't get drunk.
A popular man is one whose clothes
are always in good style and look
well, but are not Extensively fashion,
able or aggressively new.
A popular man is the one who
shakes hands with the bar-keeper,
who inquiries after the family of the
waiter, who buys an apple from the
woman on the corner and pays her
five cents more than she charges
for it.
A popular man is the one that
doesn't forget that you have got a
pretty wife, and when he is talking
about women and speaking about
somebody who is good looking, says:
"But she doesn't compare with your
wife, John"
A popular man is one who will
listen to a tale of woe from woman
As years of age, not mind her crying,
pat her on the shoulder, and advise
her to be "a good girl"
A popular man IS one who sends
your baby birthday present, who
remembers you when he has got a
couple of theatre tickets he don't
want, and who speaks to you no
matter how shabby you look, or who
he NAV be with.
A popular man is the concentrated
essence of sympathy. He has smile
for everybody's joy, and words of
coincidence for everybody's sorrow.
Feel it? 1t doesn't matter whether
he feels it or not, my friend, it's man
ners make the man and, more than
any other, the popular man.-Ba6.

Arabian Lawyers Are Very shrewd

When | was in Arabia, relates a
traveller to reporter of the Kansas
City Times, [ heard a story illustra-
ting the shrewdness of the native
lawyer An English merchtn ant, stay
ing at an inn in one of the smaller
towns, placed on deposit with the
landlord $500 He neglected to
take a receipt for the money, and
when, few weeks later, having been
absent on short journey, he had
occasion to ask for it, the landlord
opened his eyes with well-feigned
astonishment and pretended to have
forgotten the transaction. The En-
glishman was naturally enraged, but
he had no proof and no witness, and
in his extremity he sought the advice
of a native lawyer. This wise man
of the East reflected moment, and
then gravely said: 'Intrust another
$500 to the keeping of the landlord,
but be sure to have a witness on
hand"
The Englishman was puzzled to
know how this would help him, but
he did as he was directed. Nov" "
said the lawyer, The next day, go
and claim your money, but don't
take your witness with YOU" This
was done, and the inn-keeper, i'll
prepared to practice the deceit the
second time, handed over the notes.
The traveller once more sought his
legal adviser, who said to him: ''It
is we'll Approach your host again,
accompanied by your witness, and
demand your money!" The English
man followed his instructions. but
| gave you your money!" protested
his host. Come, now" replied the
merchant, "here is a man who was
present at the time He will tell you
that he was not witness of what you
claim. He saw me hand you the
money. Be quick, please, must
leave the CITY," The landlord was
outwitted. He saw the trap, but it
was too late, and without more ado
he made good the sum,

ARE ANIMALS sUPERSTITIOUS.

Do animals see ghosts2 OF course
there are no ghosts, but that makes no
difference. Science and philosophy
agree that it is not at all improbable
that nothing really exists and that moth
ing is, except perturbahons of brain
cells. Anything that we may think we
see may not, after all, have any exis-
tence-at any rate, it does not exist as
we see it. DO animals know about
ghosts and do they think they see
them? In his latest book Sir John
Lubbock undertakes to tell how the
world appears to animals, but he doesn't
enter into the possibilities of supersti
tons among dogs and horses, for in
stance. Certainly, the world does not
appear the same to the ant that it does
to man and not quite the same to the
dog or horse, since the dog and the
horse do not laugh. If we take the
conclusions of science respecting the
development of the intelligence, we
ought to be able to believe that more
intelligent of the lower animals have
superstluons that correspond IN some
measure to those of the least intelligent
human beings.
That many animals reason, draw
logical inferences beyond the operation
of instinct, Is pretty well settled. When
a dog or horse mas exhausted all its
experience in attempting % account

LIMITED LIABILITY.

Many people are unaware of the
significance Of the word limited, follow
ing the title of corporation, and even
who are fully posted in regard to the
liability limits of the shareholder in a
corporation havingehat word attached
to its name, will find the following
facts of interest. The old principle of
corporations created by legislation was
that the entire property OF every stock
holder was liable for the whole debts of
the entire company,a as the whole property
of every member of general partner.
ship is still liable for the total debts of
the firm.
This system made every shareholder
responsible for bad management of
which he might not be guilty, and de-
tered wealthy men from becoming
interested in the share of corporations.
To remove this thelp principle of limited
was introduced, and IN order to notify
the public that only the separate pro
perty of the corporation war liable for
the debts of the corporation the Eng
hsh law requires that the word limited
shall be used by the company. Most
American corporations ne constituted
on the principle Of limited liability, but
few, if any, of the States eToin the
companies to append the word limited
to their corporate titles. -
The matter is so generally under
stood in this country, however, it is not
necessary. The most noteworthy ex-
ception TO the general rule is the case
OF the National banks, and even in
thisinstance liabilities are limited to an
amount equal to the par value of the
shares. That is if the National bank
fails, each stockholder may not only
lose what he has invested, but one hun
dred dollars more, for each share of
stock he holds, if so much is necessary
to pay the debts of the bank.
Until within few years all the Scott
ish banks were organized with unlimit-
ed liability, and when eight or ten
years ago, Glasgow bank failed dis

for certain phenomena, does 1t conclude

Novellsts tell US about the amazing fear
of dogs and horses ordinarily fearless,
when placed under conditions that
excite the fear of superstitious persons.
Are there facts to warrant this1 If dogs
and horses see ghosts they must be
capable of the simplest form of religious
emotion that is to say, the fear of the
inexplicable, which in the savage is
regarded by science as the beginning
of religion. Dogs have what in science
passes for moral sense. They are
conscious of wrong doing and practice
self restraints OF course it all grows
out OF the experience that the doing of
certain things is attended with more
pain than the momentarY pleasure, but
this, science tells US, is the basis of the
moral sense. At all events, science is
bound to admit the potentially of
superstitions IN animals.-DLllyaukee

The First Public Horse Race.

The first public horse race in Am
erica was trotted in 1913 in New
York. 1t had been asserted that
there was not a horse in the country
which could trot mile in three
minutes. Major William Jones, of
Long Island, and Colonel Bond, of
Maryland, sustained the opposition,
and brought out the horse Boston
Blue, which won the race. His time
is given as just three minutes. Pre-
vious to this, however, in June, 1906
the horse Yankee is reported to have
trotted at Harlem, N. V, in 2, 50 on
a short track, and the Boston horse
is credited with having made mile
at Philadelphia in 1910 i- .sSe.yszSss.

THE DISPUTED ROAD.

Every one has heard the story OF
the two goats which, on narrow plank
bridge, butted and fought for the
right of way. A somewhat similar incid-
edt took place day or two ago in
Brooklyn, between two freight trains at
a railway crossing.
Traffic over the latter was delayed
for over an hour by the obstinate
rivalry of the two engine drivers, who,
having met on the same track, would

neither of them consent 10 reverse
their locomotive, and thus make way
for the otheir.
The two engines were facing one an
other and the language of the two
drivers was anything but choice. Every
now and again they would interrupt
their arguing in order to pull their
levers, and attempt to force each others
train back
But the locomotives were equally
matched, both IN power and weight,
and all Efforts to push one another
back into the yard were doomed to
failure. At length the driver of the
northbound train saw an engine out
of the shed, and which was manned by
a couple of his friends.
H Immediately slgnalled them, and
they came to his rescue by running
their locomotive up to the rear OF his
train. Then both drivers started up
their locomotives simultaneously, and
by their combined strength. the south
bound train was successfully pushed
back, and the crossing cleared.

TEE SLATE ON THE KITCHEN WALL
| Young Housekeeper's Experience With
Memorandum Books.

Memorandum Books.
What is this big slate for that hangs
upon your kitchen walI2' said visitor
to young housewife, the other day.
Oh that's my memorandum book, was
the reply. When first began to keep
house out in this suburban spot we
would frequently sit down to meal
and discover that there was no paper
in the paper caster, or no vinegar IN
the cruet, or only quarter of loaf of
bread in the box, or some little thing
like that which had slipped my memory
among the number of more important
things | had to think of by themselves
of little account, but just big en-
ough to take the completeness away
from a good meal which it needs to be
thoroughly enjoyed.
As our grocer, and baker and butch
er you see, are all two or three miles
aways, one cannot tell the girl to clap
on her hat, run out and supply the want,
as you can who live in the city; so l
told Tohn | must have a memorandum
book for the kitchen TO put these wants
down in, so that when | did go shop
ping, or when the tIadesmcn did call,
| would be sure to tell them of every
thing | wanted.
The very next day the dear boy
brought me home lovely little book
with ivory covers, silver-tlpped pencil
and celluloid leaves, from which the
writing could be erased after the book
was full. | tried it for week, but it
was SO pretty that if | were baking
pies, say, and observed that the cloves
were almost gone, would have to stop
and wash the paste from my hands be-
fore | could handle that pretty book.
Consequently l used to say. Oh, I'll
not stop now. I'll just remember that
and put 1t down when l have some
Others to 60 with it. or course, for
got all about the cloves until the next
time / went to get some and found not
not half enough.
So l relegated that pretty book to
the recesses of my bureau drawer and
brought a common school slate, with
sponge attached to it by strings. When
ever | find anything running low in the
larder 1 jot it down on the slate, one
half of one side Of which is reserved
for the grocer, and the rest for the
butcher the baker, etc. If Pm not in
the kitchen when they come, Bridget
shows them the slate and they, copy
down the orders. Tnen on the other
side of the slate | write instructions for
Bridget to follow when | 50 out, or the
page the number in the cook book of
the recipe by which | want her TO cook
certain dishes, while | am away. AL
together | findi in exceedingly useful and
handy and would advise all young
