good morals. Bad manners, such as loud talking in public places, pushing and showing In cars and on the ferry, emitting thanks for courtesies receiv- ed, and fnterrupting conversation, be- long distinctly to the category of minor imoralities. 1t may easily be that a schoolgirl is the,s soul of honor, that she would scorn to accept help in any indi- rect way from a schoolmate or a book, and that you could trust her with un- .old gold, but she may have rude and beorish manners all the same. .az,
 I am always pained when l hear q young girl using slang. Girls pick up expressions from their brothers which are bad enough on boyish lips, but are still more out of place when indulged in by girls We have a right to expect purity and sweetness from a girl, and refinement in speech and manner. \
 hardly dare mention such vulgar practices as the chewing of gum. eat ing peanuts in public or sitting in a car and partaking of oranges and ba- nanas when strangers are about. Every one of these practices may have sorne- thing to say for itself, though I for one would draw the line at the chewing of gum, but all nibbling, munching and eating in public out of season is simply vulgar, and vulgarity in a schoolgirl Is abhorrent.
 Another thing that I beg your pardon for so much as aluding to. is flirting. Have your boy friends as openly as you choose. just as you have your girl friends, but don't notice boys whom you do not know any more than you notice girls; encourage no familiarity from passers on the street, and do not form acquaintances of whom you would be ashamed should you introduce them to your fatber and mother. Anything whatever which has to be kept a secret and hidden away from mothers and teachers has in 1t something forbidden, and therefore wholly retrehansible Avoid it as you would avoid the touch of poison Ivy. It shatters that code of
 morality which we must observe and
 obey whatever our age may be.
 Among the minor naoralities most | frequently invaded by young girls is | deference to older people. You do not | dream how beautiful 1t is. and how | well-bred and attractive 1t makes a | girl appear to pay courteous attention
 to her elders when they are talking, to | listen to their stories, even though one | has heard them before, aud to hasten
 to the help of those who. by reason oi l years, have some infirmity. A girl new | CT seems. or, Indeed, is. so lovable as | when she puts aside her own wishes
 that she may give pleasure to some one l who is i'll, feeble or encumbered with l age or sorrow.
 When Dorothy rises to give a seal | to lady with gray hair, or quietly l threads a needle so that 1t may bS ready for the aunt or cousin whose
 eyes are little dim. or listens respect. | fully to a story that she has heard be. fores yet makes no sign of boredom, know at once that am in the presence of girl whose thinking of others
 makes us think of her.
 | Politeness ani grace should be auto.

 Minor morals? What on earth do you mean by that phrase? seem 10 hear the query from a dozen girls, who look at me with reproachful eyes Have we not been taught, they say that right is right and wrong is wrong, ana there is no middle path? What are the minor morals? The girls wisn 10 know. Let me explain.
 Let me slip into the classroom where a recitation is going on. Did I see Prudence hesitate for brief sec of,d when a question was asked her, and almost imperceptibly did Agnes move her lips, and give her etassmate the clew7 | wonder. In old days, when Agnes and Prudence had grand mothers who went to a little district school on the edge of prairie on the alone of q mountain. there was often more than this fieeting look There was low whispering from one girl 10 another, or maybe a penciled slip was furtively passed under cover Of DOCKS or states. The clever girl with the well-prepared lesson. assisted ner friend who had not studied, and pre- occupied teacher was none the wiser but the teacher had been deceived. the unfaithfu1 pupil had really suffered wrong still worse. the ideal of honor which should float before girls mind had been fawed through false no. tion of friendship. Evil had enterso the classroom ana the mihor thoratS were violated.
 Human nature does not change very mulch with the passing years. Your mother and, your grandmother were girls just like you. The schoolrooms that are closed at night when you nave gone home could tell many tale 1T fhev chose. Would not you like to feel g~ TnthfY1or invisible writ fen on the walls and the desks and the blackboards that would embarrass you If suddenly the record should become plain in the eyes of your little worldf
 There are girls who never appear to be properly fitted out with their own school furniture. They are compeiieo 10 borrow pencils and pads and paste and crayons, and all sorts of things, and they do this with so charming a grace that their companions dislike to say no, and to seem disagreeable by re- fusfng to oblige them. But after awhile when it is discovered that Ger trude invariably forgets to return what she has borrowed, that a book passing through the hands of Grace comes back far the worse for wear. and that, in short, neither girl understands the dis function between mine and thine. Mary and Elizabeth, who are usually very well supplied with school apparatus grow tired of being accommodating.
 Other girls there are who borrow small sums of money, and Immediately let the transaction slip out of stheii memory. Their memories are treacher. ous, and drop financial obligations as water drops through a sieve. This ii certainly worse than a violation of q minor morality. It is a good deal more like the breaking of the eighth com. Inandment.
 Good manners. let me tell you. art

Quite the most ingenious of minor isn- prcvements is the portable steering appa,~ ratus lately patented. especially for uae aboard warships. Cripple the steering apparatus and the ship Is at the mercy of the clements or human enemies. This portable steering apparatus, it Ais claimed. will make it possible to direct the shlp from any one of haifsa doxen stations by means of electrical connections there locat- ed and all communicating with the steering room. the most carefully protected part os . warship. The near future Is likely to see the warship with armored smokestaciks and with better protection than tfae coming tower now affords for the commanders oi war vessels iu action.

 These are the most striking of new ap- pliancss and dsyicss and Improvements aboard the twentieth century warshfp. There are others. such as mora perfect range-findefs. better arrangements for handling ammunition and improved accom- inodations for the comfort of the blue jacket in peace, and his care when injured in war. Safer and more numerous hospital stations are provided for in the new ships now being planned. Yeritably there is no end to the demands made upon the naval designer.

matic. If we have to stop and think about our manners, they will probably be clumsy. If we are in the habit of doing. small, dishonest things. or tell ing what people call Abs, evasions and the like, we shall one day be surprised by some great act of dishonor or find ourselves involved in the tam gled meshes of some shameful deceit.

Rather than pay s2oo for a surgical operation, which he was advised would save his life. ]. w. Denton of Bioom-j ington. H., a well-to-do horseman, died| at the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium from injuries received by being kicked by horse at the horse show Saturday.
 Dr. A. c. Bernays, well-known surgeon, is authority for the statement that he could have relieved Denton by performing an operation. He said he offered to perform the service for less than half his usual fee. and that the offer was refused. though the patient was assured that he was seriously hurt and that only an operation would save his life. f
 Dr. Bernays's statement is corrobo- rated by Dr. F. M. Floyd, his associate, who was first called to see Denton. The patient was then in room at a hotel, and pr. Floyd told him that ah opera ton should be performed. The patient demurred and said that he did not feel that an operation was necessary. When Dr. Bernays was called he ex- amined Denton and declared that an operation was necessary If the pa- tient's life was to be saved. Denton l asked what the service would cost, and Dr. Bernays replied that his usual fee was $500. Denton declared that he could not afford such a fee.
 Perhaps the Horse Show Associa-
 tion will pay it," suggested Dr. Ber- nays.
 Max Orthwein and Lacy Crawford, officers of the Horse Show Association, were present. Orthwein said he did not think the association was liable for the physician's fee; that he personally regretted the accident, but could not
 bind his organization to pay for an operation.
 pr. Bernays went to Denton again and urged the necessity of an opera tion, offering to perform 1t for t200, and telling the patient plainly that he would die if surgical relief were not given at once.
 "oh. you doctors want too much.'
 money" Denton replied. T am all
 right. I feel as if could go down stairs and eat 8 meal now. and will do 1t pretty soon."
 Dr. Bernays says he thereupon with drew from the case. He says he would
 have performed the operation for noth. ing had the patient been without mon ey, but he knew that Denton had won prizes aggregating several hundred
 dollars, and he felt that he had done all he should do.
 Denton was 4s years old. He was well-known to St. Louis horsemen and all over the country. He was formerly
 an exhibitor at the St. Louis fair. He had recently exhibited at Indianapolis and at the State Fair In Springfield. He
 made speciality of training saddle
 horses and was an expert equestrian. Besides his widow he leaves one son.
