And They Got Nsannd.

Late that evenin the preachers and
elders and deacons got together and
held little private confa bulation, and
sent committee to see if / want willin
to take Miss Susy Ann and go on home
and let the meetin proceed. Uncle Eph
was there accordin to our private I'M
derstandin and he had laughed, and
laughed, and laughed till don't think
there was button left on his brooches.
He saw what was goin on and calm me
off to one side he went on to say:
Don't you do it, Rufe. This is free
country, and if you and Miss Susy Ann
want to wear good clothes it is nobody's
business. Bunk Weatherford and Miss
Rosebud couldn't stand the shine you
all put on. They lit out from here and
left before dinner. 1t will never do for
you to run up the white feather now.
Never retreat under fire my boy,-nev.
er retreat under fire."
So made the committee own up that
me and Miss Susy Ann hadn't done
fiothin but come to meetin with our
own clothes on, behavin ourselves as
best we could, and then l told them we
proposed to hold our own ground and
stay ever to see the show out.
Well, didn't think about doin any
thing that was wrong and wicked, and
/ know Miss Susy Ann didn't mean it
that way, but the next thing we know
ed we had busted the campmeetin high
er than kite. That night the preacher
prayed to the good Lord to have mercy
on that wild and hayward Rufe San
ders and the gay and giddy young wo-
man with him." and then adjourned
the meetin for good and all.
Uncle Eph lowed to me afterwards
that he wouldn't take five hundred dol
lars for the sights he saw and the fun
he had that day.
you can keep your horse, bride and
saddle, Rufe," says he. 81 have lost
that durn waverly note, and will give

ODDITIES IN ETIQUETTE.

What Is Considered Proper or Improper i'm
Different Countries.
In Holland a lady is expected to re.
tire precipitately if she should enter
store or restaurant where men are con-
gregated. She waits until they have
transacted their business and departed.
Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re-
ceive a male visitor, and they rarely
accompany him to the door For IL
Spaniard to give lady. even his wife,
his arm while out walking is looked
upon as violation of propriety.
No Turk will ever enter sitting room
with dirty shoes. The upper classes
wear tight-ftting shoes with goloshes
over them. The latter, which receive
all the dirt and dust, are left outside
the door. The Turk never washes in
dirty water Water is poured over his
hands, so that when polluted it runs
away.
In Syria the people never take off
their hats or turbans when entering
the house or visiting a friend, but they
always leave their shoes at the door.
There are no mats or scrapers outside,
and the floors are covered with ex-
pensive rugs, kept very clean in Mos
lem houses and used to kneel upon
while praying.
In Persia, among the aristocracy, a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be-
fore calling and gives days notice il
the visit is one of great importance.
He is met by servants before he reaches
the house and other considerations are
shown him according to relative rank.
The left and not the right is considered
the position of honor.
In Sweden, If you address the poorest
person on the street, you must lift
your hat. The same courtesy is in
sisted upon If you pass lady on the
stairway. To enter a reading room or
a bank with ones hat on is regarded
as impolitc. Louis Globe-Democrat.
