After you have received hospitality from
any of your friends, you should hasten TO
acknowledge it by a call.
call of this kind should always be
made as soon after the entertainment as
possible.
After ball or dinner party the call
should always be returned within a week
If it has been very formal entertainment,
cards can be left instead the day after. In
the case of dinner, you should ask if the
mistress of the house is al home, even if
you call the next day.
You must always call after a large re-
ception, private theatricals, or an amateur
concert, and you should call just the same
if you have not been able to accept the in
vitations sent 10 you.
You must never dream of leaving a call
of this kind unpaid after a week. or ten
days at latest. 1t shows not only rude
ness to your hostess but also betrays ig-
norance of the usages of good society.
In the case of a bachelor being, invited
to an entertainment, he should leave a
card for the hostess and a card for the host
week or ten days after he has been to
their house.
These cards must be left whether he has
been able to be present or not at the en-
tertainment.
If your hostess has an "at home" day.
care should be taken to call on the first of
these ''at home" days that occur after you
have received her hospitality
If new acquaintance invites you to the
house to an entertainment, you should be
careful to make your call within as few
days as possible. 1t shows greater polite
ness.

AN OLD CRADLE.

The Ono in Which Mary Queen of Scots
Was Rocked.
The oak cradle in which Mary queen
of Scots was rocked is still handsome
and well preserved, though it has
passed through many vicissitudes since
it took its place as the reting place of
the royal babe at Linlithgow palace.
December, 1912. Joseph v. Patton, a
we'll known Scottish antiquary, bought
it about sixty years ago from the fam
inly to which it belonged, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. His daughter. Mrs.
D. o. Hill, gives the following account
Of it: "a man whom my father en-
ployed to look out for any old carved
furniture in the neighborhood of pal
aces went into house near Linlith-
gov palace, where woman was rock

out one of the rockers. The man said:

replied: L wouldna tax pound note

THE CHAMPION MEAN MAN.
Why His Bantam Cock Easily Whipped

Why His Bantam Cock Easily Whipped
q Big, Strong Rooster.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat: "The meanest man I ever know
ed" said sport yesterday, was a
chicken fighter. Now, I amt saying
nothing against chicken fighting, for I
think it is all right, but 1 mean to say
that this man wasn't straight chicken
fighter. Anything went with him. All
he wanted to do was to win. 1 have
knowed him to have a rooster that he
couldn't get no fight with, because the
rooster would whip anything, and
have knowed him to paint that rooster
blue SO as to get up a scrap. Well,
the worst thing he ever did I shall re-
member to my dying day.
"Bill, that was his name, was with
lot of us fellows one day, when we
were talking about the heavy weight
game cock that had been beating every
thing in the pit. oh, that rooster
amt SO warm said Bill, in careless
fashion. I've got little game ban
tam that will kill him in the first
round This made the sport who own
ed the chicken mad. He and Bill got
to casing and passing gags and they
made up fight. The sport, he said,
he would bet $500, but Bill he said that
$500 was too small. and that he
wouldn't go for nothing less than ST.
600. They fixed up the scrap, and one
Sunday lot of us sports met behind
an old stable. Well, sir, you oughter
have heard them fellows laugh when
they seed Bills rooster. He was a
stumpy little bantam, hardly high
enough to touch the other ROSTERS
chin comb unless he jumped. We
laughed and laughed, and guyed Bill,
but Bill, he didn't say nothing He
was just holding his little bantam un-
der the stomach and rubbing him on
the head. Who's holding the money!
was all that Bill said. Well, sir,
wasn't member of the society that
tries to stop ROSTERS from being killed,
but I did think it shame to let that
little rooster go up against the big
fellow. Bill and the rich sport first
held the chickens together to let them
peck at each other and get their spunk
up, and then they put them on The
ground. The big rooster looked at
the bantam minute as if he would
fall on him and crush him to death.
Both Of the birds wore those long gafts
like needles. Well, sir, the big rooster
made pass and missed, and then sud-
denly we seed the bantam dig a left
handler in the big birds wing. Nobody
thought nothing Of that, but when
time was called the big rooster put his
head down and just keeled over. Ban
tam stood up on his body and crowed.
Well, Bill took the money and we got
to thinking that it was mighty funny
that rooster could be killed so easy so
we looked at him, picked off his feath-
ers and found he was turning black.
Bill had put strong poison on tie
bantam's gafts, so that the least swire
would mean a goodbye. We tried to
find Bill, but he had taken a trip for
his health"

Dead ing Won a Battle.

The battle won by king after his
death was the victory achieved by the
people Of the Cid in Spain. Three days
after the CiFs death his capital was
attacked by the Moors in great force.
His people washed and dressed, the
body, clad it i'm suit of the finest mail
and tied it upon horse, and surround
ing it by. a brilliant cavalcade Of Off
GERS; and attendants, went forth to bat
tile. The Moors were panic-stricken at
sight Of the Cid, of whose death they
had been informed and, after a brief
struggle, broke ranks and fled in wild
confusion. Tradition says that over
10000 Moors were drowned in their
efforts to get to their ships, and that
of thirty-six chiefs, twenty-five were
slain Oh the field.
