THE NEED OF COURTESY.
It h to Business md Society What
 oil Is to Machinery.

If young people, especially in small towns, would form courtesy clubs" or graft this idea upon existing organiza. lions, 1t would result in great advan. tage not only to the young people be- longing to such associations, but also to the towns themselves.
 We find great many men and wo men side tracked all along the path. ways of life because they were not taught the value of good manners and of fine, gracious courtesy in their youth. The result Is that they have grown up hard and coarse and repul- sive in manners and have not been able to win favor or attract trade or busi. ness. In other words, their bad man ners and repulsive ways have kept them back and handicapped their ca reers.
 It Is astonishing how fine manners and politeness in children develop into ease and attractiyeness in manhood and womanhood. Other things being equal the employee who is selected for
  ners, q fine, gracious demeanor, goot presence. These qualities are the best kind of capital. even better than money.
 Everywhere we see young men and young women drawing big salaries largely because of their superior polite ness. The fine hammered are wanted everywhere as superintendents, as salesmen, as travelling representatives, as clerks. as private secretaries or as credit men. In fact, agreeable depcrt ment is the one indispensable quality sought after everywhere.
 There is nothing else which will so quickly open the door to opportunities, to society. to the hearts of all.
 Courtesy is to business and society what oil is to machinery. It makes things run smoothly, for it eliminates the jar and friction and the nerve rack ing noise.-Success.
Holbrook argus., 1902-12-13
Prairie Flowers of Fancy.

A brief for the state in an early Ne braska case indulges in the following prairie flowers of fancy:
 "Plaintffs in error are afraid that the honor and dignity of the state will suf- fer, and they invoke for the claimants broad principles of natural equity and the claim that neither the laws gov erning courts nor the constitution ap- plies to them. The logical sequence is this-that persons who hold claims against the state are favored class, who can alone make wings of justice and right to fly to that mystic region above and beyond the trammels of law, and where such unjust things as cop tracts and written constitutions do not exist, but where for them a straight and narrow pathway leads to the treas ury, whose doors, without stint or de lay, turn softly on golden hinges to ad- init them. Yet if do not very much mistake this court these wings will unfeather in their flight, and claimants against the state must fall to q common level with all other ltigants and stand up to the rack where is fed that good old fodder of justice and right as ad- ministered by our courts"
