EARLY Training In Fine manners.


Reciprocal courtesy has an influence
In child culture not to be ignored.
Uniform politeness and graciousness
shown to children by their parents and
teachers and unvarying politeness ex-
acted from them in their companion
ship with sisters and brothers and
with playmates assist them In being
lovely and calmly poised, for polite
ness implies restraint of anger. 1t
means thought for others; it puts self
in the background. The person whose
politeness is automatic will all through
life commend himself where the boor
or the brusque and clumsy person will
be at a terrible disadvantage. Train
ing in fine manners cannot begin too
early.-Weekly Bouquet

Cool and MethodicaI.

A lawyer who worthily bears dis
tinguished name occupies an old fash
Toned mansion on the edge of New
York. His sister, who lives with him,
tells laughable story, which is re-
ported in Harper's Round Table, Illus
trating his GOODNESS and love of method.
Recently his sister tiptoed into his
room some time after midnight and
told him she thought burglars were in
the house. The lawyer put on his dress
ing gown and went down stairs.
In the back hall he found rough
looking man trying to open door that
led into the back yard. The burglar
had unlocked the door and was pulling
at it with all his might. The lawyer,
seeing the robbers predicament, called
to him:
"It does not open that way, you idiot

The tenderness Of that beautiful
mother went with him through his
whole life. The greatest single infiu-
ence of Thackeray's life work was still
his mother. The lofty tenderness for
women which he learned from that
mother he lavished on his wife until
parted from her by her dark malady.
1t overfowed to his daughters and
breathes In his works. Kindred lie
amid the dismal sepulchers of Calcutta
graveyards. But her nobler nature did
not perish. 1t is immortal in the i'm
mortality of the manifest and tenderest
man Of letters of our age.-"Some Cal

Murphy, when he lived in the bush,
always shared his blanket with the
pup, but when he shifted to town he
had to break the pup Of its old habit.
The first time he caught 1t In bed he
kicked 1t out. Next time Toby heard
him coming and jumped up quickly.
But Murphy was suspicious, put his
hand on the bed and found it warm.
Then there was trouble for one small
dog That day the pup earnestly
watched Murphy cooling his dinner by
blowing on it. The following day
Murphy came home at usual time,
sneaked quietly up stairs and observed
the pup blowing on the bed for all he
was worth.-Sydney Bulletin.

In speaking of the late Ballard Smith
the Louisville Courier-Journal says
that when he first sought position IN
a newspaper Office after graduating
from Dartmouth college he entered the
sanctum with an air of condescension.
He wore silk tile and velvet jacket.
He said he would like to be dramatic
editor, but he was given a place on the
local staff. In less than six months he
was made city editor. After that his
rise In journalism was rapid.

Forests of shady trees mitigate eli

they attract rain showers. Leaves

Hunting Balloons In South Africa
The balloons which frequent this
rocky country are so destructive to the
stock farms that organized raids have
to be made upon them. 1t is useless
trying to get shot at the balloon dur
ing the day; he Is a willy creature and
knows the deadly effects Of rifle just
as well as the hunter.
Early in the morning the party leave
the farm and quietly surround the
kranz, or rock, where the unsuspecting
balloons are sleeping. At the first
break of dawn the head baboon is on
the move, to see that everything Is
right. He no sooner makes an appear
ance than he Is greeted with shower
of lead. In an instant the whole troop
is in an uproar. They rush hither and
thither, bowling with rage and pain,
looking for a place Of escape. But few
of them succeed. Directly the hunters
have retired, the blacks, who have
been following up the party, make a
rush for the tails of the balloons.
Sometimes they are In so great hurry
to secure these that they fail to OBJ
serve that the baboon is not dead and
an ugly bite or tear Is the result. The
tails are taken to the magistrates Of
fee, where a reward of Is. Cd. each Is
paid for them by government.-London
Chronicle.

Burns and Tam Samson

Tam Samson was a gray haired vet
eran sportsman, who on one occasion,
when out moorfowl shooting and feel
ing the weight of years begin to press
upon him, expressed the belief that the
expedition was to be his last and de-
sired, in somewhat tragic style, that
he might die and be buried in the
moors.
Burns, hearing of this, Immediately
composed his famous elegy, in which
he related at length the exploits and
skill of his hero, ending each verse
with the plaintive line, Tam Samson's
dead"
Some one having told Samson that
Burns had written a poem-"a gey
queer ane"-about him, he sent for the
poet and In something like wrath asked
him to read what he had written. On
hearing the recital of his exploits he
smiled grimly and seemed by no means
displeased. But" he exclaimed, I'm
mo- dead yet, Robin. Wherefore should
We say that Pm deadT Burns retired
for few minutes; then he returned
and recited to Tam the following verse,

southern Prosperttx.

In every branch of productive indus
try that can be named there have been
increased activity and increased profit
during McKinley's administration as
compared with the previous low tariff
administration of Cleveland. In these
benefits the south has fully participant
ed and shared equally with the north.
In fact, in many lines the south has
outstripped the north in the record Of
commercial development during the
past four years. Last year 100000 new
spindles were put in operation in the
south, and 1,41S,OOO additional spindles
are in course of erection. This means
that within year the south will have
In operation 20 per cent more spindles
than it now has and 55 per cent more
than it had year ago.
General Prosperity.
Taking the whole country through,
the record Of the last four years is
equally astonishing, as Illuminating
the contrast between the conditions
under the last Democratic admin1stra-
ton and the Mckinley administration.

Republican Protection to Labor.
At the end of President Cleveland's
administration the labor unions had
been almost annihilated because OF the
despair In the hearts of wOrkingmen
and their inability to pay dues or to
devote any time to union society work.
1t was then a question Of starvation
with many of the men who now COM
pose the membership of unions, and
there was little motive to devote time
and money for keeping up meeting
places for unions. Immediately after
the Inauguration Of President McKin-
ley unions began to pick up slowly.
In 1898 the unions grew more rapidly,
and month after month since then I'M
til the number Of unions and the MEM
bership has almost doubled the totals
for 1897. The conditions of union labor
societies under a Democratic admins
tration, contrasted with the splendid
condition Of the same societies under
the present Republican administration,
furnish an unanswerable argument for
Republican principles so far as they
relate to union labor.
Some Typical Southern Views.
The Democrats count surely on Viz
ginia, but there, as elsewhere In the
south, the leaven of Republicanism Is
working. The following names OF emil
nent Virginia Democrats who will vote
for Mckinley have been received by
the Republican national c0mmitteei
