POLITENEss.
PoIigeness is that easy gracsfuiness
and refinement Of manners which rem L
ers Us capable of anticipating and sup
plying the wants and wishes Of others,
and which creates IN us a desire to
avoid whatever may give them pain.
Me should have that respect for
others which will keep US from Civ
ing them unnecessary pain, and should
try in every way 70 cultivate that dis
position To please and oDlIge which
Will enable US to be helpful, courteous
and kind.
Kindness IS the basis Of true polite
ness. When We eudeuvOr to aid others
through kindness and not from any sell
fish motives, we are performing an act
of true Politeness-Ons which viii
make the receiver feel that we have an
Interest in him and desire to be help
ful to MIN.
Our gratitude and sympathy should
also help US tn be polite. When we
rememb 9he- little acts OF kindness
which we SO often receive we feel CRATE
ful and long to recipTocate. And when
we sympathizs with persons our syn
pathy makes US more thoughtful OF
theIc needs, and we are more ready to
WatCh for ways to help them than we
otherwise would be.
Many persons are polite merely for
the outward show. They are not actu-
ated by any desire to be kind OF help
full, while others are polite only so far
as VIII serve their purpose. After
you can aid them no longer they treat
you rudeIy.
Among the many forms OF polite
ness which are 50 commonly neglected
are those PraCtCed in ElEe'hOme, Many
persons treat strangers with more
respect and courtcousnsss than they
do the members OF their own home.
They seem to forget how mucn a kind
word or loving deed will do toward
making their home a more happy one.
Then again we are often discOurtsOus
TO those whom We. consider our inter
iOrs or those more unfortunate Chah
ourselves. There are many things
which arise to make US dIscOurte0us
and one of the most common forms is
selhshness. We think of self and our
own happiness, and forget to think OF
the comfort and happiness or others.
From seIHshnsss we become cruel and
AAeE-AE aAHgq many ENAGAAA4 e9AAAN AANAA AAA
in saying cutting things about Others
while some through thOughtIessness
make remarks, never thinking how
deep a wound they are gIvIng some
one. And many times through loss OF
self control we say and do things which
we afterwards remember with sorrow.
OF all the sources from which dis
courJesies arise 1 think cOwardics Is
one OF tne lowest forms. We become
afraid TO act as we think and that low
ers us ia our own estimation as well
as in that of others. We become lost
to all sense Of feeling and gradually
sink lower ENG lower.
OF the many duties given US TO per
form, that of treating others with cUur-
tssy and kindness Is one Of tine great
est, and we should endeayOr 20 guard
against all those vices which tempt Us
to do otherwise. II is our duty both
to God and humanity, and if we faith
fully perform il the world will be d
little better for our having lived in it.

uNDER 80 RLLE-

Among the Press dispatches in the
EeaUeateorth Times OF March 8, we fnd
the foIlowinEk
The famous investigation of tho
elevator and wheat ring systems of
Minnesota was resumed 10y the legis-
lHtIve commissioners to-day, and some
sensational testimony was taken The
charge bad been made for years that
the ring at Minneapolis had been fix
ing tile price OF wheat la the sba be, and
to-day it was charged before the com
missioners that the railroads abo ted
the ring by refusing cars 70 track buy
ers.
General Barrett testified and pro
duced contract 70 prove it, that a.
man named Snow, at WadeuH, had
been given Sl55 to pull off and buy no
wheat in competition with tile Northern
Elevator company, and that the mana
gers OF the company, said the farmers
at Wadena would have to pay for it.
A letter from traffic manager Shelby
of the Great Northern road to clio
Union Store company gs AEooIeheud,

did not quit OverOIdding tie elevators
for wheat WAS shown. It was OK.
planned that Shelby's clerk wrote the
letter, but tue effect was the same
General Barrett proceeded to say that
he could prove that ~ combine existed
by which THE miiioTs and elevators COIL
tTGlled wheat prices AMI prevented the
railroads from supplying cars TO any
but members of the ring who paid ring
prices for wheat.
And yet, once in n while, you will run
across Il fool editor who calls man
who advocates government ownership
Of railroads a crank.

fact there IS hope Of a speedy obIitera-

are more nearly allied in interests
than those above mentioned and they
should work in harmony to advance

II the editors of the big dalies only
knew how little, how enthusiastically
small is the influence Of their tremend-
Gus i.end-liHeS OH the Alliance mind
they would cease to labor so hard to
get them up in such style. I'aei alliance
countenance only breaks into a IEoad
smile as the eye belIolds these mighty
headings Aud again these fish sto-
ries about the leaders that are con-
stantly appearing, serve to provoke
ElusfteS, and laughter only. The al
lance has its own sources of iuforma-
ten, the same as any ''weI! regulated
society" about its leaders and their
work, and upon these BeIy with abse-

and labor could lie saved for some
really good wol X, If the big daiIies
could only realize that their headlines

Wsre at zero, so far as the alliance is

Morrei Mackenzie: Into one of the
hospitals to which he gave a portion
of his time each week Was brought a
wretched little worklng-girl who had
attempted to commit suicide by swat
lowing carbolic acid. Sir MOTell
attended her day after day, but her
case was hopeless, and she was finally
sent to her home in an East End slum
to die. She fingered on foE two or
three weeks, and all her thoughts and
conversation were of the great physi-
clan who had tended her SO carefully
and treated her so kindly. rs her
final moments drew near she begged
that some one would go to her doc
tor rs she termed him, and bring
him to her bedside. So importunate
were her entreaties that city mission
airy, who visited her daily, ventured to
call on SIR Morell and tell him of the
dying girls requesb. s'Glln L do any
thing for her:'' asked DIR. Mackenzie.

past human aid, but your presence
would give her untold comfort" III

aside all other engagements, went five
miles to All East End tenement house,
sat down by the girls bedside for an
hour, suggested one OF two simple
alterations, called her my dear"
and left her with two OF three bank
notes. squeezed up in her hand.

DIED

Yesterday morning Leland, the infant
son of Mr. and Mrs. L. L Newcomb, die(
at the family residence No. 407 North Law
renee avenue Funeral al 10 a. H. today
How the sweet eyes Of one dear babe car
hold all the light of a happy home, and
how dark that home when the light o.
those eyes is shut out forever. His white
soul few away TO the paradise of the mys
FERROUS skies, and there Is left but the
waXen clay with its folded hands in seem
ing sleep We talk of its rest. its happy
escape from all the ills of life. and then
try TO face the future with the thought
that maybe it is all for the best; but. oh
the bitter cup, the hurting heart: but, oh
the blasted buds and broken idols of this
unfrieudly earth that could not find room
for two more such feet SO soft and small.
But the loved baby voice is hushed and
his little pattering feet are so strangely
still, still to her whose breast had SO
tenderly and oft nestled his fair head
fore of all the cries of this earth, the
most touching and sorrowful being that
of ths mother for her offspring;
1.-TWO little feet meath the earth's brown sod,
Two white wings somewhere safe with God"
Then all words, ali acts, all of every
thing fail, save the sad consolation OF
memory with it's ever reverting pictures
memories to which we the more closely
cling because of the inexpressable sorrow
they bring. But for the two;
None can know the burden borne,
The broken idol was all their own.
