GOOD MANNERS
Dale. Wis.-Waupaca Repub

Don make the mistake of thinking
that brains are everything. You may
have the best set of brains in the
town, but if you haven't the manners
of gentleman nobody is going to
appreciate you.
There is no capital and equipment
any young man can have that will pay
him better than good manners. There
is no possible calling for which this
does not better fit him.
If he has brains the world owes him
something, but unless he has good
manners he will have a hard time
collecting it,
Your manner is the outward indica-
ton of what you are within, in the
estimate of most people, and if the
manner is diSagreeable few will take
the trouble TO examine you any
further.
Maybe we are too apt to regard
manners as a thin veneer. n good
manner, like the good nature that lies
back Of it, is not a thing to be thrown
on and off like dress coat. 1t is of
the man as the aroma is of the rose.
Unless it is a free, natural and con-
slant expires >ion of your real spirit it
is nothing but a delusion and it
deludeS nobody but yourself
If good manners are not practiced
at home, but are allowed to lie by
until occasion calls upon you to as
sumo them they are sure to be bad
fit. You will be uneasy in them and
look uneasy.
IL may be a small tritie 60 acquire a
habit of saying ''if you please" and
"thank you'' readily and sponta-
neously, but it is no tritiing defect in
a young man to fail to do SO.
Ii you do not jump up to open the
door and to get a chair for your sister
and mother you will never be able to
do the same thing for another woman
with the naturdlneSS that is true
s oCC' anu oOLiC uhy yOu may lOl SCU
to do it when the neglect will tell
against you in the estimation of those
to please whom you would gladly do
much.
CareleSsnesS in dress and personal
appearance amounts to bad manners
Lounging and untidy habits are
another form of bad manners Pro-
fame and unclean speech is still
another form. These defects never
gained for you the respect of d single
person and never will. On the con-
trary, they wear away your respect of
self and demean you in your own
eyes. They can be overcome only by
constant watchfulnesS, not by sporadic
efforts when you want to ''Show Off"
Polish may be IN empty word to the
unpublished. Culture may mean little
or nothing to the uncultured. But
they are practical realities and go far
to produce an inward and correspond
ing refinement of mind and spirit.

BE CHARITABLE
TO The BIRDS!

Now, when the (: outd is frtZ'D up
hard and the cold winds blow fiercely,
the snow covering up all chances for
the poor little birds To fud food for
themselves, please StreW seeds and
crumbs for them. Any piece Of stale
bread can be rolled into large
amount of crumbs with the rolling
pin, after it is put into the oven TO
get hard) and few cents will buy a
lot Of bird seed. They need hard and
soft food. There is quaint and very
beautiful custom in Sweden and
Norway: At "Yulctide" every farmer
ties several large sheaveS Of grain on
poles upon his barn, for the birds
who come from near and far and have
a Merry Christmas feasting upon that
grain. Writer OF this is 50 years cid
and has fed the birds every winter
of her long life, dutifully, ali through
the cold and snOWbound season, Early
in the morning and through the after
noon again they will come TO their
accustomed place for their rations.
That place may be a broad window
ledge if we live upstairs. or free
place in the yard, or a board with
a narrow edge nailed around it so the
seeds won't roll off, and that can be
taken in. when it storms. as the snow
would then waste the crumbs.
This board can be placed in the garden,
yard or lawn. or upon post Also a
Christmas tree can be fastened on a
post, after doing duty and upon it can
be'tled tin cups or small boxes. for the
seed. Now, as long as the fierceneSs
Of the storm lasts, the birds will not
come for feed, but as soon as showing
stops, shake the snow, off your tree or
sweep it off your board or free place
and serve the liable and the hungry
little guests will soon appear and be
made happy. The idea that the
common sparrow is injurious to our
garden etc: is false. He picks millions
of larvae OF lin the future) much more
injurious insects, off our trees, hedges,
Shrubbery, bushes, than he consumes
through the summer of our berries
and vegetables. In the hot dry
summer days when there is not a drop
of water ia Sight for the birds always
place dish of water for them.
We append the following which we
take from the Orange Judd Farmer
under the heading "a Plea for Our
Feathered Birds" and it will be
found of interest to all.

Build on the Quincy
Lot.

The School Trustees have purchased
the Clark and Quincy lots and teams
are now hauling rock for the foundation
Of the new school house. The new
house should by all means be built on
the Quincy lot fronting the east. for
the location OF that lot IL much better
than the Clark lot. by building il on
the Quincy lot IL will be in direct line
with the school house above, also IL the
building is placed on this lot there will
be ample room for Fairgrounds west
and south of the building. The vote Of
the people was given with the under
standing that the new building should
be so placed that, providing the trustees
could make trade with the city for the
lot on which the Jail stands, that lot
should in the course Of time be used on
which to build high school building.
This move by the people and school
trustees IL a pleasing one, and the indi-
cations now are that it will be but a
short time before our school district
will own all the block on which the new
house is to be built. For many years
the oversight Of not owning a block in
the center Of town has been much re-
gretted. but now the day has dswned
let every citizen do his best to accom-
plsh the much desired object.
