If Uncle Sans extreme courtesy to
prisoners Of war is not satisfactory to
the foreign gentlemen now sojourning

to bottles will be allowed.

thing between noon and p. H.. as they
might spoil siesta.
No tailor is allowed to refuse credit
to a prisoner who desires to go to u
party and feels the need of dress suit.
Any insinuatiCn that cigarette snok-
ing is unhealthy will be considered o
breach of discipline.
A guard must not refuse to play
games with prisoner, but is strictly
prohibited from winning his money.
Musicians are forbidden to play any
thing except the Spanish fandango.
Ladies sending bouquets are requested
to exercise caution, as some Of the pris-
oners do not like the smell Of tube

Chesterfield superficialltr.

Chesterfeld's idea Of excellence was
essentially superficial, for his praise Of
solid requirement ard genuine princi-
pie is always coupled with the assertion
Of their entire inutility if unaccompa-
MED by grace, external polish and an
agreeable manifestation. He omits all
consideration Of their intrinsic worth
and absolute dignity; their value to the
individual, according to him, is wholly
proportioned to his skill in using them
in social form.
In one OF his earlier letters to Philip
Stanhope he writes: "What an advan-
tage has graceful speaker with gen.
teel motions, handsome figure, over
one who shall speak full as much good
sense, but who is destitute Of these Or
naments. In business how prevalent are
the graces, how detrimental is the want
Of themI II you should not acquire
manners, all the rest will be Of little
use to you. By manners / mean engag-
ing, insinuating, shining manners. a.
distinguished politeness, an almost ir-
resistible address. superior graceful
ness in all you say and do" He would
have manners overlay individuality and
goes SO far as to declare that O soldier

A number Of literary men wero at one
time gathered in we'll known chop

was Of course brilliant, and the rCpartee
sparkled with mirth and wit. During q

and all old southern Garky, grizzled
with age, poked his head in and then
slowly drew his body in after him. A
waiter started to eject him, when one
Of the gentlemen cried:
"Wait q moment. Let's SEQ what the
old boy wants. "
The darby bobbed up to tho table
where this gentleman sat and held out
his hat. Throwing q wink to his neigh
bors, the gentleman took the hat and,
making show Of placing something
into il, passed it on to TIE next man,
who cid likewise. The hat made a tour
Of the room, to the puzzled wonder Of
the darky. Tho last to receive it SOL
emnly handed it back with q polite
bow, saying:
"There, sir, don't you think you have
something to be thankful for?"
The cid darky looked solemnly around
the company and, mechanically taking
the hat, he said:
"Gen men, I'ze indeed glad dat got
eben de hat 1ackI"
The reply was so thoroughly enjoyed
by the company that the darky left the
place n much richer man than when he
had entered it.-Kansas City World.

for, although the letters patent were
