Too Many Chaplains.

Commenting on his action in NOV
ing for reduction of the preposter-
Gus number of the kings chaplains
in the late committee on the civil
list, Henry Labouchere says in
Truth: 81 did 80 not solely in the
interests Of economy, but also be.
cause it appeared to me that to as
sumo that thirty-six chaplains were
necessary to the kings spiritual well
fare was the reverse of fattering to
his majesty, for it implies that he is,
spiritually, in very parlous plight.
The committee would not listen to
any proposal for reduction; but the
king himself has now taken my view
of the matter, and reduced his
thirty-six chaplains to twelve. In
this he shows, If l may respectfully
say 30, that sound common sense
which has marked all his domestic
reforms since he came to the
throne"

Our opinion was backed by some o 1

on second thought we find it better
to go on as best we can until the

IS IT TRUE?

CHOW much more courteous men
are than women! - remarked a lady
in the street, car the other morn
ing.
It was after eight o'clock, and the
car was full of people on the way to
their various places of business.
They were all feminine occupants of
the seats, every man having yielded
his place, and several women we're
still left standing. But it was not
the women's acceptance of the prof
fered seats that had called forth the
rather startling comment. A seat
had Just been vacated, and nearly
every woman standing made a quick
move toward it, each trying to an
ticipate the others. The same thing
occurred a number of times, till at
last all the women were seated.
CHOW, see the difference !" re-
marked the critic, when a little
later, another seat was emptied.
Each of the half-dozen men stand
ing, hesitated, waiting to give the
others a chance. The car had gone
a full block before one of them, a
rather fredericksburg man, at last
dropped into the vacant place.
"Youn find that difference nine
times out of ten," said the self-ap-
pointed critic, in an energetic whis-
per, "Just watch for yourself"
And a series Of later observations
really did seem to provs that in this
phase of street-car etiquette, "men
are more courteous than women"
Doubtless her general statement was
altogether too sweeping, yet there is
food for thought in it.-Selected.

n MEANS WE'LL"

It has come to be a questionable
compliment to say that anybody IS
"weIl-meaning." NOT that anybody
objects to good intentions. AS far as
intentions go they are excellen6
things, but they do not go far.
"He means WE'LL" is generally the
last attempt of a good natured per
son to say something agreeable about
somebody else. And as a rule it is
not difficult to piece out the descrip-
ton. We at once think Of the per-
son referred to as visionary and i'm
practical that he plans instead OF
practicing that he devotes his time
and strength to laying schemes
which result in little. In other
words, the man who ''means we'll"
is understood to be one who in gen
eral is a failure.
This world of ours is sadly in need
of common-sense service. For such
service good intentions are a foun-
dation, but no more. If the most
your friends can say of you is that
'you mean WE'LL" the epitaph on
YOUR usefulness has been written

UNGRACIOUs.

Givers who bestOw their benefac-
tions in such a way as to attract the
most attention are entitled to credit,
not because they give in that way,
but because they give. But if they
heard all that is said of their gifts
they would probably not be so we'll
pleased with themselves as they
sometimes are.
The story is told that a certain
very miserly man, who, during the
greater part of his life, had never
been known to give anything either
publicly or privately, at last bestow-
ed a chime of bells on a church in
the town where he lived.
"What do you suppose he did that
for?" some one asked.
"Oh," some one else answered,
she did it SO that he could hear the
ring of his money r'-Youth's Com

WILLING HORSES.

One of the judges at the horse
show in New York last fall made .
shrewd criticism which has a broador
application than he gave it, says the
Youths Companion.
Four high-bred carriage horses
were on view.
ct see no difference between them
said an unskilled locker on. "Thev
seem to me to be equals in blood,
beauty and training"
"No," said the judge. ''This
horse" touching one of them, ois
incomparably the finest. He is of a
better breed than the others, his
temper is good, and he is stronger
than any of them. But I would not
buy him. He will be short-lived.
The others will outlive him by
years."
"Why? What is wrong?"
"He is too willing a horse. Look
He pulls for both himself and his
mate. He shoulders the whole
weight, and the other simply trots
alongside. There are many such
horses. They use up their vitality
before middle age"
It occurred to one Of the bystand-
ers that there were also many such
men and women. In almost every
family there is some unselfsh, ener-
getic draft-horse who draws the load
of the others. 1t may be the old
father, plodd1ng at his desk the year
round, while his wife and daughters
are idling in Europe or it may be
the lean, fast-aging farmers wife
who keeps house and cooks and irons
and sews while the girls are busy in
their clubs or entertaining their
friends. Often it is a homely old
spinster aunt or sister.
AS a rule, nobody notices these
willing drudges until they drop sud
denly in the harness, worn out by
pulling the load which belonged to
those who were dear to them-son,
wife or brother.
If, as is usually the case, they have
made those about them idle, incom-
petent and selfish, have they done
we'll? Are they, in fact, good faith
full servants?

THOUGHTFUL CHILDREN.

COMMON WORK DONE UNCOMMONLY
WELL.

1t has been said that "successful
people are those who do common
things uncomm only WE'LL" and if
this is the case some of our boys need
to change their tactics. For a good
many of them seem to have an idea
that by and by some extraordinary
openings will come their way, and
that they will be just the one to fill
them.
It is true that now and then we
come across a young man who is
earning a living by some very IN
usual method. Perhaps he is the
only one in a great State or group of
States who has that particular Occu-
patton, but we must wait for devel-
opments before we can feel assured
that he is the one especially fitted
for the place.
Many young people r firm in the
conviction that certain kinds OF
honest work are more honorable
than others. There are young wO-
men who would rather paint indiff-
erent pictures that no one will buy
than make a comfortable living as
clerks or stenographers. There are
boys who will run the risk of star
walton behind a lawyers or physi
clans sign, who T unwilling to
drive the delivery wagon of their
fathers grocery, even though they
will be in direct line of promotion.
And we cannot help being sorry for
such young folks, in spite of the fact
that they bring their misfOrtunes
on themselves.
Common work is only another
name for necessary work, and 1t is
deserving of all respect. But the
worlds rewards are kept for those
who excel; who at this common
work prove themselves uncommon
workers.-YOung Peoples Weekly.
