THE rose is beyond question the pret.
kiest flower that blooms, and it was so
considered by the Turks many years
before the conquest Of Granada. There
is religious legend generally believed
IN throughout Turkey that the red rose
sprang from drop of the great proph-
ct Mohammed's blood. Everything
beautiful in nature is ascribed to him.
The Turks, therefore, have great rev.
erence for the flower and allow it to
bloom and die untouched, except on
state occasions and for the purpose Of
making rosewater.
After the conquest by the Turks
they would not worship in any church

The Common People Alone Are Truly
Polite.
II believe the manners of men In
the West and in the Soeth are very
much better. But the East sets the
fashion and makes the pace. What
Is the vogue in New York reaches
san Francisco and New Orleans in
time. and the nearer place sooner. SO,
if It be the thing to be rude in the
East, we may expect that, II Will be
the fashion also on the Pacific ana
gulf before very long. iBut there is one
class OF people In America which, l
fancy, is not likely ever to become
infected with the bacilll OF rudcness.
l allude to the plain people. the COM
mon people. They are too good and
too substantial Mt bottom ever to be-
come very vulgar. They have never
been adopts in the graceful social arts.
on the contrary. they have never
been acquainted with them, and care
nothing about them. But they are hon
est and kind. and they hate meanness
and nastiness FOR the deadly sins that
they are. And they know them. too.
mt sight. They are simple ana unaf-
fected, but they arc rs far rs possible
from being foolish. rs.
a lady OF experience told me the
other day that she believed the plain.
everyday. common American man was
the most dependable creature alive.
They never fail you. There Is no
kindness rhcy Will not undertake. no
service they Will not render. And I

knew this fact by Instinct. She had To
