Courteous.
1t had been matter of much difficulty
to impress upon Detroit boy the desira-
bility of interspersing his conversation
with those phrases Of formal courtesy
which, without being important in them
selves, relieve human relationships Of so
much ruggedness. One reason for his
backwardncss in acquiring the art may
have been his father S natural brusqueness
of manner. Seeing his own defects reflect
ed in his son not only made him anxious
to polish himself, but increased his deter
mination that the boy should grow up to
understand the value of politeness. 1t was
Sunday morning, and the head of the FAM
lily was enjoying the sleep late into the
hours of morning that is possible at no
other time His wife had gone to call on
q neighbor, and the boy was in the next
room reading, A sharp ring Of the door
bell interrupted his nap. Nobody gave 1t
any attention, and the ring was repeated.
"Thomas, said the boys father, 'go
to the window and sec who that is and
what he wants
Thomas put his head out of the window
and saw man with a petition.
what do you wanty' Thomas inquired.
"I want your father to sign this petit
ton, was the reply.
.sHe can't como down." And Thomas
shut the window.
In an instant the bell was ringing again,
and Thomas opened the window and cx-
claimed:
whats the matter with you? Are you
going to stand there all week ringing that
bell?"
That's right, put in the father. "Give
1t to him. Only remember your manners.
II want to see your father" said tho
caller. ~ have something to say to him."
"Ycs, and I've got something to say to
you"
"What is it?''
