THE QUALITY OF TACT.
It Goes Far Toward Making Life Smooth
 and Pleasant.


 In one of our large cities recently woman lecturer discoursed to circle of women on the possibility of cultivat- ing that most necessary and charming quality-tact. The idea that such a gift was not a natural inheritance, but oEe which might be planted in soil, in the beginning barren of such seed. and, by careful cultivation, come to full growth, was a novel and an interest ing thought to each one of her hearers.
 Few people realize how readily the habit of tactfulness may be acquired, the fashion of so framing ones spoken thoughts that they shall soothe and not irritate the listener. Tact is second only to grace in the makeup of the Christian. The Golden Rule is the finest example of the applica- tion of this principle that can be made. The reverse of tact is that most repre- hensible of qualities-frankness of opinion. For frankness it is almost always possible to read lack of con- sideration. Masquerading under frankness of speech is too often to be discovered the bitter sting of per-
 
 Tact is not dishonesty; it does not mean the suppression of the truth nor the expression of an untruth, but it does mean the withholding of gratui-, tous disagreements from arguments in which they are quite superhuous; it also means the effort to induce an agreement kindly when possible, and If an agreement is impossible it de- mands gracious acceptance of oppos- ing views. Tact can not be said to be synonymous with policy; tact is always honest and policy can not invariably be said to have that distinguishing mark. The outward manifestations may be the same in both, but their purposes are entirely apart; one looks for the ad- vancement and care of self, the other of its opponent.
 It will not do for us to say that in the hustle of our present civilization we have laid aside tact as we'll as good manners, for this is not the case. Courtliness is out of date; SD of camaraderie rather than of deference has arisen In its stead, but there has never been a time when kindly thought prevailed so universally. If this age deserves to be termed the humanitarian era it must induce kind ly feeling among humanity, and while its exponent may not be courtly man. ners, it may be it's near cousin, tact. showing itself in thoughtful, gentle speech and action.

THEY HAD SYMPATHY,
One Phase of Life Illustrated on Chica-
 go's Streets.

Oue nAbe OI LtIc illustrated on Cn1c0D
 go's Streets.
 She hurried along Elm street, appar- ently bound for the cable cars and a career of downtown shopping. Her eyes-one must note them in passing were red from recent weeping; but a face-reader of ordinary penetration could see that her trouble was of a trivial nature It somehow seemed such grief as might have been caused by dressmaker's blunder or the short postponement of a trip around the world.
 After this figure of comfortable and recovering sorrow two poor little mor- tals stood gazing in absorbed sympa- thy. There was something pathetic about the empty basket the little girl carried-it seemed to symbolize the evident emptiness of her life. As for the small boy. he had lean look as to face and jacket, but there was no leanness about his soul.
 What do you think has happened to her?" the little girl asked, the active sympathy of an emergency bureau looking out from great hunger-haunt- ed eyes.
 ''I don't know," returned the mascu- line waif, utterly oblivious to the cancellation of his own life as he fol- lowed with wistful look the vanishing 6gure-an hour-glass of fashion, with expansion of sleeve and spread of skirt.
 Maybe" he added after thought ful pause, "the lady has lost her little boy" An, perhaps she had! If she would only turn back and look!
 But the expanded figure hurried on- ward, clasping full purse, while the little pinched figures, rich in the Di- vine gift of sympathy, resumed their journey in the opposite direction. Chicago Tribune.

Two colored men were having a live ly discussion down on Pleasant street the other night. You're liar" said the little one. The other reached for his bootleg. ''I reiterate that you arc a liar" exclaimed the first one "Oh, if yer reiterate," said the other, as he straightened up, that's all right. I thought yer'd take it back.

The management of the Waterville
high school foot ball team is indignant
at the treatment it has received this
season from the Gardiner high team.
Already three games have been arranged,
and in each case Gardiner has, for some
reason or other. cancelled the dates In
one instance it was claimed that the team
had disbandcd, but the very next week
it played tie game with Cony high
at Augusta The cancellation Of the
other dates was done for what appeared
to be similar useless reasons. Several
days ago Manager Small wrote Manager
Armes for date but has received no reply
whatever, yet it is understood hat the
Gardiner team is endeavoring to fix a
date with the Monmouth academy team,
in fact it was SO reported in the Journal S
Gardiner correspondence day or two ago
1t seems as though Gardiner is just bit
afraid to line up against the Waterville
team, but be that as it may, the Water
vile team claims that it has not been
treated squarely and honorably by Gar
diner, and unless the Gardiner boys decide
to play, at least one game Waterville
will claim all three of the games, which
have been scheduled, by forfeit.
