Notice Enemy.
One of the best known OF our Cir
cult Court judges had an enemy, q
lawyer who had once been his unsuc-
cessful opponent in politics, in one
OF the towns on his round, and was
generally subjected to some affront
when he reached there. The lawyer
took so little pains to conceal his con-
tempt that one of the judges friends
was moved to ask:
why don't you squelch B.? He,
needs it."
The judge laid knife and fork across.
his plate, folded his hands, and, SEEM.
ingly apropos Of nothing ut all, said:
up In my home town there's 4 wid-,
ow with an ugly yaller dog that, when
ever there is moonlight, sits on her
stoop and bowls until the town can't
sleep, and generally keeps it up TN
daylight"
He then resumed his dinner. Tho
friend looked at him in amazeman1
for a moment, and then inquired:
well, what of it,"
WELL" said the Judge, slowly, 'fho
moon keeps right on."-PhiladolpAiA,

SUNSHINE AT THE TABLE.
The Gentle Habit OF Being Cheerful
- Three Times q Day.

The Gentle Habit OF Being Cheerful
Three Times a Day.
An old lady who looked as though
she might have belonged to the Sun
shine society" all her life was asked
by friend for the secret of her never
failing cheerfulness. Her answer con-
taips q suggestive lesson for parents.
II think" said the clever old lady, lit
Is because we were taught in our fami-
~ to be cheerful at table My father
was lawyer with large criminal
practice: His mind was harassed with
difficult problems all the day long, yet
he always came to the table with a
smile and a pleasant greeting for ev-
cry one and exerted himself to make
the table hour delightful. All his pow
ers to charm were freely given to en-
terrain his family. Three times q day
we felt this genial influence, and the
effect was marvellous.
III q child came to the table with
cross looks, be or she was quietly sent
away to find a good boy or girl, for
only such were allowed to come with
in that loving circle. We were taught
that all petty grievances and jealousies
must be forgotten when mealtime
came, and the habit of being cheerful
three times a day under all circum-
stances had it's effect on even the most
sullen temper. Grateful as ! am for
all the training received In my child
hood home, l look back upon the table
influence as among the best Of my
life."'
Much is said and written these days
about table manners" Children in
well bred families are drihed in a
knowledge Of good form" as to the
use Of the fork and napkin, proper
methods Of eating the various courses
are descanted upon, but training in
the most important grace or habit a
child should have, that Of cheerfulness
at table, Is. too often neglected. Let
the gathering at mealtime be made
the most happy hour of the day, and
the influence on the children may be
beyond estimation.-Table Talk.

Postage Stamps Are Very Modern.
The man who has the mania for col.
lectfng postage stamps is known tech.
nically as d philatelist. Philately was
much ridiculed in it's early days and is
still by those not acquainted with it's
value. 49,, ,ss1
Postage stamps, as but few are
aware, are Of recent invention, and it
Is only since 1910 that letters have
been stamped. With the advent of the
postage stamp rates were greatly low
cred. Before that in England the
charge for sending a letter the short
est distance was sixpence, but. with
the introduction of the stamp it fell to
penny. The introduction Of the post
al system as it at present exists in
nearly every country on the globe is
credited to Great Britain, which in
1910 issued covers and envelopes to
prepay letters all over the kingdom.
This plan was adopted through the ex-
erhons of James Chalmers, although
the honor has long been given to Sir
Rowland Hill.
The first country to follow England
was Brazil. In 1912 a Get Of three
stamps was issued, consisting simply
Of large numerals denoting the value
printed in black. Then came the can.
tons of Switzerland and Finland with
envelopes which today are very. rare;
aext came Russia, United States.

vther countries followed in the train

sisted by the various boat clubs Of the
country to such an extent that the
event will rival that which has made
the Thames famous. =:
The only difference in the two is that
the American Henley will likely alter
nate between different cities each year.
1t would be impossible to hold the
English meeting any place other than
on the Thames, because that is the
only body Of water suitable for. such
gathering, while in the United States
there are many courses which are
much superior to that Of the Thames.
The committee in charge of the Olym-
pic games to be held in Chicago in 1904
has requested that the regatta be held
in that city in conjunction with the
games, and If suitable body of water
can be found it is likely that the re-
quest will be granted.
One of the figures in the movement
is Fred Fortmeyer Of New York, sec
rotary Of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen, who has had a
wide experience in advancing the in

BETTING HURTS RACING.
Declares That Horses Should he Ru,

James r. Keene, vice chairman Of
the Jockey club, declares that in hia
opinion there is too much gambling and
too little sentiment in connection with
racing in America. ,.
In heavy speculation on horses, he
says, there is a menace to the best in.
terests Of the turf, and that race
courses should be places Of recreation
and not seething caldrons Of money
mad gamblers; horse racing should be
sport and not business.
