have belonged to the set owned and

in fact, something like twenty-five
centuries ago-the molar was alleg-.
ed to have been rescued from the
ashes of Tie funeral pyre of the god.
Its career since that time has been
varied. From India the tooth was
taken to Ceylon, then it was seized
by the Malabars and later by the
Portuguese and kept in Goa: Here
the revered tooth was burned. As it
was marriage dover with the
princes of the royal house, the orig
inal relic had to be replaced, so that
the molar which rests among gor-
geous surroundings and to which
special temple has been dedicated is
said to be that of a wild boar or ape

GEORGE w. NO GENTLEMAN.
He Was Told So Once, and at Another
Time He Proved It.

y
Wien Lord Liverpool was form
ing his ministry in 1922 he thought
it absolutely necessary to have Can
ming at the foreign office, although
aware that tie appointment would
be obnoxious to George ~. The
Duke of Wellington undertook the
unpleasant task of communicating
Lord LiverpooPs determination.
AS soon as the king knew what
was wanted of him he broke out:
arthur, it is impossible. / said, On
my honor as gentleman, he should
never be one of my ministers again.
| am sure you will agree with me
that I canDot do what said on my
honor as gentleman I would not
d."
Another mar would have been ST.
fenced, but the great soldier, always
equal to en- emergency, Seplied:
"Pardon me, sir, but I don't agree
with you at all. Your majestyIs not
q gentleman"
The bold assertion s.crtled the
king, but the duke went on, "Your
majesty is not gentleman, but the
sovereign of England, with. duties
to your people far above any to
yourself, and these duties render it
imperative that you should employ
the abilities of Mr.. Canning"
''Well, Arthur" said the king,
drawing long breath, elf 1 must,
I must"
Although he did not like being
told he was not gentleman, George
~. had once, at least, while regent
forgotten he was one. This was
when, he flung a glass of wine in
Colonel Hamlyn's face, with Clam
lyn, you are a blackguard!"
The inSaited officer could not re-
turn the compliment without COM
mitting something like treason-it
was out of the question to challenge
the prince, while to let the insult
pass unnoticed was equally impossi-
BILE.
The colonel filed his glass and
threw the contents in the face of his
neighbor, saying, ellis majesty's
toast, pass it on!'
"Hamlyn," cried the regent,
'eycu're capital fellow! Here's
your health"
And they were fast friends from
that evening.

GRANT AND L.OMGSTREET,
d West Point Friendship That Hold
Throughout Their Lives.

a West Point Friendship That Held
Throughout Their Lives.
The strong schoolboy l-endship
which began at West Point between
Grant and Longstreet lasted
throughout their lives. Grant was
of the class after Longstreet, but
somehow their silent, serious ma
lures were in spontaneous accord,
and, says Helen D. Longstreet in
"Lee and Longstreet at High Tide"
they became fast friends from their
first meeting. That one was from
the west and one from the south
made no difference, just as later it
made no difference in their feeling
OF personal affection that one led
the army of the Union and the 9TH
er was Confederate general.
General Longstreet often spoke of
the details of the capitulation at
Appomattox. He said that when he
went into the conference room in
the Mclean residence as one of tine
Confederate commissioners he was
compelled to pass through the room
occupied by General Grant as his
headquarters.
He felt curious to know how Gen
eral Grant would receive him. He
had loved Grant as one of his clos
est boyhood friends, but times were
much changed. Grant was victor,
he was vanquished. lie was there
fore prepared to observe the rigid
demcanor of those between whom
ceremony only forces recognition.
But as soon as he entered the room
Grant rose, approached him with a
greater show of demonstration than
ever in the older days and slapped
him on the shoulder, exclai;ning:
well, Old Pete can't we get
back to the good old days by playing
a game of bragg"
At West Point the nickname
among the boys for General Long
street was "Old Pete"
The important part of that meet
ing, the splendid bearing of the
conquered Confederates, the modest
demeanor of the Union yictors and
above all the noble generosity OF
Grant in refusing to accept the
sword of Lee and in giving the fair.
est terms possible under the existing
circumstances, these are known to
all who have read United States
! history.

Your Employees and Your Business
Will Both 30 Better For It.
If you are an employer do not go
about your place of business as
though you thought life were
wretched, miserable grind. Show
yourself master of the situation, not
its slave. Rise above the petty an
noyances which destroy peace and
harmony. Make up your mind that
you are too large to be overcome by
trifies. Resolve that you will be
larger than your business, that you
will overtop il with your manliness
and cheerfulness.
To say nothing of its being your
duty to make tho lives of those who
are helping you to carry on your
business as pleasant and as full of
sunshine as possible, it is the best
possible policy for you to pursue.
You know yery well that horse
that is prodded and fretted and

hausted as one that is urged forward

In their susceptibility to kindness
men and women are in nowise diff
ferent from the lower animals. You
cannot expect your employees to re-
main buoyant, cheerful, alert and
unwearied under the goad Of scowls
and the lash of a bitter tongue. En-
ergy is only another name for en-
thusiasm, and how can you expect
those who work for you to be enthu-
siastic or energetic in your service
when surrounded by an atmosphere
of dependency and gloom, when
they expect volley of curses and
criticism every time you pass?
Many a man who could have been

about him by venting his spleen,

gestive ideas of all those who worked

The Conductor Scored.

Some time ago several travelling
men were sitting together in car
on a train which daily makes a
round trip over a certain division of
the Boston and Maine railroad. One
of the number, the Boston Herald
says, had not only lnonopoiized the
conversation. but from time to t;me
had poked fan at the quiet con-
ductor.
AS the train approached the Hav-
erhill station the travelling man
turned to the conductor, who stood
near by, and shouted boisterously:
'Say, George, what made them
locate the station so far away from
the village?"
81 don't know" the conductor
gravely replied, "unless they thought
it would be more convenient to have
it down here near the railroad"
