1t has been held, we believe, that
man is really drunk when he falls down
and then holds onto the grass to keep
from falling up. A new standard
for the measurement of drunkenness
has Just been established by a jury in
Salina, Kansas. Fred Leis, rich
farmer, was sued for 1000, this being
the amount for which he had gone on
the bond of man charged with grand
larceny. The man fed the country and
the bond was declared forfeited, and
Leis was sued for the amount involved,
The defense of Leis was that he was
drunk at the time he signed the bond,
and therefore not responsible. The
case hinged on whether or not he was
too drunk to know what he was about.
There was plenty of testimony to show
that he was intoxicated-often so, for
that matter. But there was testimony
to show that when just as drunk he
had more than once traded horses and
invariably got the best of the deal. So
the jury found that he was responsible
and must pay the bill-that man who
makes successful horse trade cannot
be drunk in the eyes of the law.
This decision looks reasonable and
compares well with that OF her Kansas
decision made in the investigation of
Populist statesman few years ago. 1t
was held as result of this investiga-
ton that when man got too drunk to
fish he was too drunk to hold office.

An anti-cigarette bill has been passed
by the Missouri legislature. 1t forbids
the sale of cigarettes to persons under
eighteen years old. 1t also makes it il
legal to give cigarettes to persons under
that age. Firms or persons violating
the law are subject to fine not exceed
ing $100 for each offense.

An irrigation experiment on a large
scale and requiring two and half
years for completion is about to be car
ried out near Colesburg, in Cape Colony,
at a cost of $4,000 which sum will be
supplied by the trustees of Mr. Rhodes
estate, Wernher. Belt & Co., and Mr.. A.
Bailey. Some 100000 acres near the Or
ange river will be provided with water
and thus be made productive and valu-
able. 1t is not a real estate speculation
in the ordinary sence. The land is to
be opened to settlers, and all profits
over per cent. will go to the improve
fnent of the position of the settlers. The
idea is to set an example of intelligent
development of arid South African land.

The Bridgeport Standard does not
hesitate to say this: The discovery that
under the cover of a charter for an

agriculture and prize fighting is not in
innate. although perhaps "Pumme

Deseret Evening News gives assur-

The city of Nankin, though it is the
southern capital of. China, does not pos
sess a water works system. The Ameri-
can consul, Mr.. Martin, put down a
drove we'll. This American WELL"

An ingenious American has invented
an envelope which records of itself any
attempt to tamper with it's contents.
The flap is inbued with some chemical
composition which when operated on by
a dampening process or any other
means of penetrating to its Enclosure
records the transaction by causing the
words Attempt to open" to appear. 1t
Is thought that the inquisitive will
think twice before pursuing their re-
searches in face of such an invention.

THE NEED OF COURTESY.

ways Of life because they were not
taught the value of good manners and
or 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 bust
ness. In other words, their bad man.
ners and repulsive ways have kept
them back and handicapped their ca
reers.
1t is astonishing how fine manners
and politencSS in children develop into
ease and attractivencss in manhood
and wOmanhOOd. Other things being
equal the employee who is selected for
advancement is the one with good man
ners, fine. gracious demeanor, a good
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 superintendent, as
statesmen, as travelling representatives,
as clerks, as private secretaries or as
credit men. In fact, agreeable deport-
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. 1t makes
things run smoothly, for it eliminates
the jar and friction and the nerve rack
