fine figure, majestic in walk, and
Roman in face. except for a slight
projection OF the lower lip The
mans color was between copper and
coffee, not very dark, and he had a
slender mustache and scanty curled
hair on his chin. Up to that time l
had always made up Othello simply
with my mustache, but after that SUI
perb Moor l added the hair on the
chin and sought to copy his gestures,
movements, and carriage. Had l been
able l should have initiated his voice

Moor represent to me the true type
OF the Shaxspearean hero. Othello
must have been the son of Mauri-

words to Hoderigo: 'He goes into
Mauritania, for what else could the
author have intended to imply but
that the Moor was returning to his
native land?

There are people who get as seasick

other successes, experienced traveller

couldn't wave them away. because he
couldn't wave his hand, but he bent
looks upon them that would have

rushed in and pulling the curtain

Hoyt! won't you get up and look at
the beautiful scenery? It's perfectly
exquisite. Don't you like scenery?"
There was look of malevoience in

Two Sets of Manners.

If we only had on our company
manners all the time, how delightful
we would he, for. deny it though we
may, we certainly have one set Of
ways for everyday use and anothee
when strangers age present. The
frOwn fades into smile when our
next-door neighbor suddenly enters
during a heated argument The feat.
ures that were set in obstinate and
unbending resolution relax before
the eyes of the casual caller, and the
voice. snappish ard sharp, becomes
tuneful and lovely when outsiders ap-
pear on the domestic horizon. How
we'll child understands this uni
versal hypocrisy and beseeches for

knowing full we'll no reproof or curt
refusal will take place at such time,
while the same knowing small one
would not dare to ask for cake or a
penny If mamma did not have COM
pany in the parlor. Do we not. we
children of larger growth. know of
pleasant words and endearing terms
used only between husband and wife
when they wish to impress outsiders
with the felicity of the relations
which assume very different phase
as soon as the door closes and there
is no one around to see the averted
gaze and Indifferent air which mark
their natural behavior? Why can't
we wear our company manners with
our everyday gowns instead of hang
ing them away out of sight only to
be brought forth on occasions Of cere.
mony along with our best bib and
tucker? Wouldn't life be richer and
sweeter if more of the little cour-
tesies were shown when there are no
eyes to behold them save those that
are sure to brighten at the unusual
demonstration? Is there anyone in
the world as sweet and true and de-
voted as the home folks yet are there
any in the whole wide world treated
with the scant courtesy these dear
ones receive? Bring the company
manners into the intimacies of home
life and see how much brighter and
sweeter will seem the world at large

More Acreage TO Wheat.

TRAvARE. S. D., April 12.-Seeding
operations have begun in earnest in this
vicinity, and the conditions are very
favorable for small grain, as the ground
now contains sufficient moisture to
sprout the seed. The low price Of wheat
does not seem to be causing any great
decrease in the acreage to be sown to
that cereal, as farmers seem determined
to risk it another year; and as the
greater portion of the lands broken up
last season on the reservation lands
will be sown to wheat, the acreage Of
Roberts county will be nearly doubled.
