OLD TIME COURTESY.
A Pleasant .sTbank You Is Easily spoken

In this rushing, bustling. hurrying
nineteenth century some Of the good
old-fashioned virtues of our ancestors
are becoming sadly too rare. courtesy
among others. Courtesy is as natural
to some women as the air they breathe,
while others spend whole lifetime
without even recognizing it when they
see il in others. II il sometimes defined
as ''politeneSs. but in truth il is far
more than this.
Politeness is, in many cases, the out
come of courtesy; but woman may be
polite without being courteous, al
though a courteous woman in invaria-

A DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Blobbs Trades OF the Gray Pants o.
Her Husband.

Her Husband.
1t was late when MIR. Rlobbs got up
the other morning. and he hustled
around his bedroom like wild man.
When it came time to put on his
trousers. ne plunged into a wardrobe
and pulled down all the garments that
were on the hooks. Then he fell on
his knees and paved the pile over nerv-
ously. He handled every garment twice
and did not find what he wanted. He
swore three separate and distinct times.
and then shouted: Mary.
There was no reply. Blobbs poked
his head out of the door and yelled
again: Mary
What Is it, dear?" asked some one
at the rear end of the fat.
Come here, and get move on, too.
Mrs. Blobbs came into the room. Her
face was flushed from breakfast prep

her nose. What do you want?" she
asked.

4 Kansan in Washington,

From the Washington Post.
A Kansas gentleman who is in Wash
ington at the request Of the secretary OF
state is Mr.. Charles Schaetfer OF Wichita.
1t appears that Mr. Schaeffer was not
long ago appointed consul to Costa RIGA,
and thereby hangs tale. The office was
worth only $4,000, but the climate is
great. About the same time Missouri
man named Williams got appointed
consul to Vera Cruz, where the salary is
So, 600 and the climate is beastly. Now
Williams was in hunt of a superior
brand of climate, ard when he heard
that the chances of escaping the under
felt detected. 1t was matter of great
Schaeffer, who was willing to take
the risk for the extra $1,000,
proposed a swap, and the bargain was
duly ratified. The kansan Is a man of
fine physique, and he only smiled when
he heard that the British and German
consuls at the Mexican seaport had sue
cumed to yellow jack. He made
preparations for emierating, but con-
concluded that before going he would
perfect his naturalization papers, as he
was not yet full f1edged citizen. At
least, that is the story that came to
Washington from his home, and that is
what he is here for now-to get fixed
with the state department, which has
an objection to sending foreigners
abroad as United States representatives.
Mr.. Schaefer is a follower of Senator
Martin, and if he should get turned
down how the stalwarts will exult.

the truth of the adage ''All things come to

price was too much and that they would
not pay it, The governor quietly sat down
and waited. The ground is now the prop

IT Is FLUNKEYISM.

Those who have laid the soft JUNCTION
to their souls that the American people,
outside of the snobbery of the Four
Hundred stripe, were above toadying tc
supposed blue bloods have had a rude
awakening. Such getting down on
hunkers, kissing of hands, of real cring-
ing fiunkeyism, as has occurred in the
past few weeks over an unknown earl,
duke that nobody ever heard of and over
a nice woman, an Infanta, but heir ap-
parent to nothing, has not been witness
ed on the American continent since the
paving and scrapiEg done for King
Calico the Honolulu mulatto on the oc-
casion of his visit in 1876. The saying
that every American is a king or queen
in his or her own right proves unbound
ed. The per cent of those who would
not make show Of themselves to roy
atty seems small one The Infanta, in
her representative character, is emitted to
high formal consideration by our own
official representatives, but for anything
else it is abject flunkeyism that accords
with neither our reputation as people
or with our self respect.

Spain, or at least the representatives of

Spain, or at least the representatives of
peninsular monarchy, appear to have
mortal sinch on the popular gaze in this
country; only there seems to be bit of
rivalry between Neraugua and the
Infanta. Veraugua has been the lion at
Chicago for weeks, but he had to
vamoose when the Infanta entered upon
the scenes. Although a woman the
princess seems to be less vainglorious
than the scion of the great discoverer
and it may be that she will not attempt
to moncpolize as her rival for dlstin-
guished consideration has. But, it
would perhaps be ungracious for Ameri-
cans to show restlesSness under the
strain; it is possible that, but for the per-
sistent efforts and researches Of their re-
nowned countryman this country would
still be bowling wilderness and we, its
citizens, the subjects of the emperes and
monarchies from which we sprung. On
