Rudeness Rebulsed by the Diplomacy of
a Woman.
Detroit Free Pressl
A pleasant-faced young woman
and her husband took their seats at
a hotel table opposite a dapper lit
tie dude fresh from the center of
civilization. Once during the meal
the husband requested the little
man to hand him something and all
he received was cold stare. He
was mad in a minute and was about
to make few remarks when his
wife laid her hand gently on his
arm.
Don't Henry, she said reprov-
ingly, "you shouldn't expect to find
every thing in such a little pack
age"
The other people at the table
snorted and the little one left the
room.

life is spared until you are three
quarters of a century old, you will
often find yourself covered with hui
mility at the things you don't know.
The wisest way is to learn early in
life that no human being can know
everything; therefore, never be too
silly or too proud to ask what you
wish to know, and frankly to con-
fess your ignorance of things with
which you are not familiar. No
sensible person will respect you less
for it, and wise people will value
your opinion much more when they
find that your utterances are based
upon actual knowledge, and that
you are not afraid or ashamed to adj
NIT that you do not know"

Sailing around in circles low
down were scores Of vultures of the
plains-repulsive, merciless and
evil omen.
Carcass Of lost horse proba-
bly, muttered the captain
"Mebbe SO, but yere's pony
tracks by the Dozen"
"We'll see."
We bore away to the left, and
after riding half a mile reached the
spot In. the valley between two
ridges, lay the body of q human be-
ing. We could identify it that far
before dismounting. 1t had been
stripped Of clothing. The hands
had been severed atthe wrist. Ev-
cry toe had been hacked off. The
nose was gone, the scalp torn off,
and the eyelids cut away.
The body had finally been staked
out on its back, arms and legs ex-
tended, and after being blown full
of powder and gashed with knives,
had been made the target of arrows.
Thirty -eightof the feathered shafts
were sticking in the flesh. The
scouts pulled most of them out and
turned the body this way. and that
