HOW TO De POLITE.

The following is quoted from q re-
cent book published on the art Of be-
ing polite-with some homemade ad.
dit1ons:
1t is not the correct thing:
ITO dip the whole hand in the finger
bowl. II the hands require washing
politely ask the waiter to bring ba-
sin.
ITO open the mouth unduly wide In
eating" Put all large pieces in your
pocket for home consumption.
ITO put the skins of potato, orange
peel, ETC., on the cloth.I Throw them
under the table. The Shah of Persia
always does this.
Ito tip the plate in order to secure
the last drops of SOUP" 1t is better
to raise it gracefully to your lips and
drink it.
ITO tuck the feet up on the rounds
stand of the table," Coil them neat
ly, one on each side of your chair. Be
careful not to place them on your next
Ieighbors. You might rumple his
patent leather.
ITO trouble your neighbor to pass
you the dishes when there is a serv-
ant present" Remember he is try
ing to get done on schedule time.
Thoughtfulness for others is the basis
OF true politeness.
ITO rub spoon, fork or knife on
ones napkin before beginning the
meal" Profess faith in your hostess,
even though you may have doubts of
her scullery maid. Besides. we ali
must eat our peck.
For the guest to starye instead OF
asking for what he needs" State your
wants politely but firmly. And in a
case of actual starvation it would be
forgiven if you helped yourself to
some Of your neighbcrs portion.
This is only little of the valuable
advice given. When this has been di
gested we may give more,-Philadel

BRIEF DISPATCHES.

Hard lines-Railroad tracks.
Vanity is an unblushing bribe- taker.
Even repartee wins popularity with
age.
Vanity and milliner make woman
top heavy.
Thought is only free when it finds
expression.
The gift Of silence has saved many
4 reputation.
knowledge is ability to read be-
tween the lines.
Not every man with stove in his
hat is hot-headed.
Happiness and success are synon.
vms, but success and happiness are
not.
Many unkind things have been said
contract?
The only reason that some men fail
o turn up their noses at their fate in
life is the fact that their noses are not
,uilt on that plan.
1t is poor joke that won't stand

Cleanliness and godliness are neigh

people being brash.
M. A. p. having declared that only
lean men can become humorists, the
at men are laughing contentedly.
It is perhaps because all the world
is a stage that the great bulk of the
populace objects to thinking parts.

.HEARTs AFLAMe."

Mrs. Genevieve Haines' play
Hearts Aflame,'is not without pun
gent sarcasm and trite observation.
At any rate. some Of the speeches are
good. as here demonstrated:
Journalism and anarchy would die
of inanition IL some of us who are
in the swim did not make fools OF
ourselves"
"1here are nc marrying men in the
new century. Bachelors cling to
single blessedness, husbands covet 1t.
and the 'broilers' find it cheaper TO
make love to other mems wives"
"It's case Of take the goods the
gods provide but be careful not to
be caught with the goods on"
"A woman is either good or bad;
circumstances have nothing to do
with it. and virtue that won't stand
the test IS pretty poor stuff"
People usually wear their best
manners like their best clothes, be.
fore taking in marriage. After TAX
ing old habits, like old clothes, nat
urally the the most comfortable
and then the eye-opener.'
"A wise man doesn't need advice,
and fool won't take it."
There's nothing so monotonous as
a downright proper woman. To hold
man-'mere mana woman must be
a potpourri, a ragout Of heavenly vir'
tues and earthly vices, with gen.
erous dash Of paprika to keep things
warm
Affairs with married women are
always safe. Younger women are apt
to take things too seriously until
they learn the ropes"
Its one thing to f1irt with an
other mans wife. and another thing
to have man f!rt with your wife. :"
This iGea OF pretty face compen.
satirg chap for cheese and
cracker diet is romantic fallacy."
Men find risque songs and highly
colored anecdotes spicier, when ema'
mating from females who are labeled
respectable
There are moments in every wo.
mans life when she totters on the
brink of moral suicide"

Mlr AND w,sooAa.

The best policy is paid.up one.
" People who are In love are the
nost accomplished Of liars.
" The only woman who is proof
against temptation IL the woman who
loves.
The love OF some women is about
g refreshing as o marble slab in q
morgue.
Obstacles to love are what lemon
Juice is to salad. We don't want too
much OF 1t.
II you analyze love you may find
mntis'e that will take all the conceit
out of you.
A mans love for woman should
be respect, never abject-otherwise
it will be-reject.
A husband or wife would often be
perfect if they were only somebody
e1se's husband or wife.
Women like contrasts. She may
consider herself an angel. but she
likes q devilish sort of man.
A woman hates jealous husband
but gets mad if he is not jealous (but
you never can please woman).
Women entertain a sort of con-
tempt for the man who has the repu-
tation of being such good man"
Love requires perfect digestion.
Even then it may swallow many
things it will never be able to digest.
The parvenu is the woman who has
lately achieved money and is so
afraid that everyone will not know it.
Matrimony is desperate risk, with
no surety whether the investment
will double up all right or prove a
failure.
A man imagines that his wife obeys
him. The wife knows that the hus'
band obeys her OR she will know the
reason why.
A big man at the business end of
a string with a little doggie attach
ment is a walking illustration Of his
mental caliber.
A womans garb is an index OF
character. Careless in dress, careless
in all else. Loud colors bespeak q
loud character.
Never marry a woman who criti
cises herself. 1t you praise her she
will think you are making fun of her
and if you criticise her she will think
you are brute.
If man shows a preference for q
woman she is happily convinced tha,
he loves her.-Kate Thyson Mari.

make "Samar a bowling wilderness

brutality. Sherman's raid is not
to be compared to it. Sherman de-
stroyed property, but he spared the
lives Of non-combatants along his

mercy compared to Smith. He exc
cuted soldiers without conscience,
but he al least gave the women and
