"YOurs Truly

Frcm the Worcester tMass) Gazette.
The habits of people in signing letters are
receiving some attention, and interesting
conclusions are drawn from study of the
diffe rent ways writers subscribe themselves
The curt Yours and Yours truly" are
found not only in business letters but I'm
personal notes well, for there are plenty
of correspondents who don't believe in
gush. and who think that Yours truly or
sincerely means about all they wish to
convey. Opposed to these sensible and es-
sentially practical persons is that class of
writers made up usually of young and en-
thusiaStic individuals. a rule of the gen.
tie sex. who throw worus about as care
lesSly on paper as they do in conversation
The use of the word love by such people is
distressing sign of emotional weakness,
of careleSsneSs, or of insincerity, and pos
siby arises from the same impulse that
prompts women to kiss each other indis-
criminately. One Boston girl, who is quot
ed by the Journal has taken her own stand
in the matter. and at the risk of being con-
stdered cold and thoroughly Boston
she sticks to 1t. In her childhood she was
taught TO sign "affectiona tely yours to her
far-away greataunts and second cousins,
some OF whom she had never seen. but all
of whom she tried TO like, because of the
claims of kindred. and the word affection
ateiy came to mean 10 her nothing at all
except polite and necessary fiction. So she
signs 'affectionately" to people she is sup
posed TO be conventonally fond of, and
when she says anything more she means II.
She thoroughly approves of Cordially
yours. and this, by the way. is seen more
and more frequently now in notes between
acquaintance who are on distinctly friend
ly or cordial terms. After all nTour
friend" when it can be used truthfulIy is
simple and satisfactory way of ending
friendly letters. Some people have the
habit Of not prefacing their names with any
set form of words at the end OF letters
They stop when they get through, and
write their signatures without any frills,

EVERYBODY RAN,
Strange Peculiarities of Life In PORT
au-Prince.

From Leslie's Weekly.
When fire breaks out in the town al
most all the stores close. the troops stand
Under arms, and few except the firemen
and the people near the place of confiagra-
ton venture out in the street. the reason
being that most revolutionary movements
are started in this manner. While fire
draws the attention to some remote part
or Port-au-Prince, the "conspirators." as
they are always called, attempt to storm
the arsenal and the prison, liberating and
arming its inmates. Many a dangerous
criminal owes his liberty to an incident of
this nature
Another peculiar feature of the con-
slant excitement is the so-called couru-
derived from courir, the French word for
lun-when everybody in the street starts to
run: remember well one that happened
In Port-au-Prince, the capital about five
years ago, when the situation was COM
paratively quiet. Two young men who
quarreled about a woman met near the
market place, drew their revolvers and
fired at each other. This caused n panic in
the market halls; everybody commenced to
run, In order to get home Nobody knew
what had happened: nobody knew what
was going to happen; those who had not
heard the shots, seeing the others take to
their heels. also ran for the shelter of their
homes. The stores closed strong detach-
