Rules of Behavior.

When a boy George Washington
compiled a book of rules on behavior.
The following are some of them;
Every action in company ought to
be with some sign of respect to those
present.
Be no flatterer, neither play with
anyone that delights not to be played
with.
Let your discourse with men OF
business be short and comprehensive.
Undertake not to teach your equal
i'm the art himself processes; it savors
OF arrogancy.
When you speak of God or his attri-
butes let it be seriously, in reverence.
Honor and obey your natural parents,
though they be poor.
Undertake not what you cannot per-
form, but be careful to keep your
promise.
When a man does all he can, though
it succeeds not well, blame not him
that did it.
Associate yourselves with men of
good quality, il you esteem your own
reputation, for it is better to be alone
than in bad company.

A certain learned professor was III
structing a class of schoolboys about
the circulation of the blood. To make
sure that they understood, he proceed
ed to question them.
Can you tell me-" said he, why it
is that if l were to stand on my head
there would be rush of blood to my
head and that there is no rush of
blood to the feet when / stand upon
them?"
For a moment there was silence,
and then small boy answered.:
IT'S because your feet are not
empty, sir"

LincoIn's ThoughtfuIness.


The greatest men are masters OF the
minutest details. 1t is those who ac-
eompllshed little in life who never have
time for this or that or five minutes
they can spare to do kind or thought
full act. Abraham Lincoln was one of
the great ones, and just listen to what
he had time to think about amidst the
iroublous times in 81.
During the campaign of 1860, while
Abraham Lincoln was in Springfield,
ILL.,, a youngster named George Patten
was introduced to him and shook him
by the hand. Proud of his distinction,
George lost no chance of parading the
affair before his schoolmates. and for
a time was looked upon as a most
important parsonage. But gradually
his prestige faded and several of
Georges older companions openly
poohpoohed the story. This stigma
well-nigh broke his Doyish heart, but
he was resourceful and resolved to OBJ
tain clear proof of his meeting with
the great man. So he wrote a letter
to Washington, keeping silent the
while, and in course of a month re-
ply came which read:
Executive Mansion, March 10, 1861.
To Whom it may Concern: | did see
and talk with George Evans Patten,
last May, at Springfield, III. Respect
fully, A. LINCOLN"

Tales of the Mongoose.

In the Philadelphia Zoo there are
five little mongooses, which attract
much attention because of their pecu-
liar habits. A few years ago a large
number of these creatures were
brought over from India TO some OF
the West Indies to destroy the rats,
which were very numerous on the
islands. They did the work expected
Of them, but also a great deal more.

The new legislative delegation of
Spoane county met the members
of the Taxpayers league last night
at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms.
The principal topic discussed was
the best means by which the 4ex-
penses of the courts could be d.
minished. The meeting was in
formal and most of the delegates
freely voiced their views on this
subject.
d. c. Corbin, as president of the
league, brought the matter forcibiy
before them in a short address, in
which he expressed the }well-known
sentiments of that body in, regard
to a reduction In court expenses.
He drew attention to the fact that
the expenses of Multnomah county,
Oregon, with twice the population
of Spokane, was less than half as
great. He suggested that litigants
bear part of the expense Of jury
trials, and also advocated q reduc-
ton in the jury fees and mileage.
Several Of the legislators respond
ed and it was clearly seen that
most of those present favored the
proposition.
Regarding Governor McBride's
railway commission, several dele
gates stated that they would stand
by the platforms upon which they
were elected. Members OF the

on this point, saying they would
