A Test of Courtesy.

It happened not long ago that had
occasion to request a friend to deliver
an urgent letter for me. The letter
contained business of Importance which
was private in its nature, as it con-
cerned debt. To hand my friend a
sealed letter was to presuppose THAT he
would read it if open. To give it to-
him unsealed was to risk the possibil-
ity of a third party reading it, for the
exigencies of life are many, and letters
are known to have been dropped. I
pondered, perplexed. but decided that
courtesy was one of the first laws of
society and left the letter open. With
an easy bow my friend received the
note; then, seeing the open flap of the
Envelope. instantly gummed it down.
That, said inwardly, is true courtesy.

part of the work was torn down Later
On it was ascertained that part of
the walls of the post was still over the
dividing line. An agreement was
which gave to the United States that
part built upon and the outline of the
old fort was completed, but as these
mistakes had caused much trouble
the post was nicknamed Fort Blum

at the breaking out of the late war,
and since that time it has been under
| the charge of an ordnance sergeant.
Soon work will be resumed, and if the
recommendations of Gen. Miles are
carried out the old post will be convert

armed post in the country, it is the
intention of the general to have large
