| low footmen. Rehoboam lost che ten

! thoughtfulness for others-let us all cul-

/ down. Many soldiers were on board. The
! drum sounded, and the soldiers fell into
/ line. The women and children were gor

| the ship said, Let all those who can
swim strike out for the boats No"
said Captain Wight Of the Ninetyhrst
| Hghlanders; If you do that, you viii
sink the boats in which the w0mel and
! children are" The brave men kept 10

to make its last plunge they fred Il salute

/ Many years ago two men entered the
largest locomotive workshops a Philadel-
! phia. They were treated in il very indif-
| ferent way and were allowed TO depart
without any show of courtesy. They
went into other shops. aud no especial
attention was given them. After awhile
the two men entered a smaller shop, and
the oveIseer took great paias IN showing
them everything and how they wrought
and on what plan the shops were run.
/ The two visitors We're agents Df the Gar
! OF Russia, and those shops were trans
! ferred 10 St. Petersburg, aud that polite
/ man HAT bestowed such attention was
! called to build the locomotives for all the
! railroads of Russia and aaS fortune AFT
! ter fortune roll in upon aim. Courtesy
! is mighty force in temporal things as
/ well ms in spiritual things.
! The time must come when he world
! will acknowledge international courtesy.
! Now courtesy between nations 5 chiefly
made of rhetorical greeting, bat As soon
as there is a difference Of interest their
ministers plenipotentiary are called home,
and the guns of the forts are put in p0-
sition, and the army and navy get ready.
! Why not a courtesy between nations that
will defer to each other lad surrender
! little rather than have prolonged acri-
mouN. ending in great Slaughter Room
| for all nations If the earth and all styles
/ of government. What the world wants
| is less armament aud more courtesy, less
OF the spirit Of destruction aud more OF
| the spirit OF amity. This century has
! opened with too many acmlss in the field
| and too many men-ofwar IN the ocean.
Before the century closes may the last
cavalry horse he hitched 10 the pillow and
| the last warship become ) merchantmen.
