tender and chivalrous has ever been

Milton said poets lives should be, and
their poetry was their life. as Mrs.
Browning said should also be true of
poets. The world could spare neither
the lives nor the poems, and especially

SO many different things are being
taught in the public and private schools
nowadays that there are few innova-
tions in the line of pedagogy that will
be surprise TO the natives who are
Used to hearing tales of Superintend-
ent Maxwelrs ''fads." But there is
one new course started this fall in
an institution that makes a business
of originating novelties in the way of
education that will be likely TO make
the old-fashioned folk rub their eyes
to read of it.
This is nothing more nor less than an
office boys course" designed to teach
the terrors of the business world the
most approved methods in filing, in
dexing. mimeographing, letter-copying,

ness English, spelling and penmanship.

stress ON the fact that importance

A group Of actors at the Players

sion as TO the ability and impartiality
of certain professional critics of the
drama when the late Maurice Barry

dramatic criticisms. Hayward" said
Mr.. Barrymore. ''was certainly one of
the ablest OF them. He wrote most
learnedly, with the keenest analysis
OF every phase of the actors art, and,
above all, with no little wit. 1 am

the briefest dramatic criticism ever

HOME pollrsNess.


iHOrt FGhrtrt VS.
It is singular thing that we should
find il SO easy TO hurt the people we
love best.
The people who live In the house
with US. those for whom we would ac-
tually do most If il came right down
to deeds. are the ones with whom we
take the least care 20 be courteous and
kind.
Not outsiders. for whom we care
nothing not our friends and neighbors,
nor those among whom chance throws
us. but the dear home people who love
us better and have done more for us
than anybody else, have TO bear the
brunt of our ill-temper and harsh
words
Home is regarded as the natural
place to ''let off steam." and there is,
curiously. small thought given to the
scalding hurt that overflow of wrought
up feelings is going to do the family.
Some Of us who are the pink of po-
likeness among Outsiders leave our
pollteness entirely out of our dealings
with our own. II even the common
courtesy we practice toward strangers
were made n part of all our dealings
with our own family there would be
infinitely less friction IN the average
home.
"Estelle is mad at me- a young
woman was heard TO say 10 her thir-
teen-year-old sister "She will not
speak to me because this morning |
went into her room without knocking.
She has such an absurd sense of dig
nifty"
Perhaps Estelle carried her dignity
to extremes, but in the germ of it
she was right. She only demanded the
common politeness her elder sister
would have shown to Il stranger.
1t is strange indeed that we find 1t
so little worth while to be particular
with our own. In reality we should
be more so for the more strongly peo-
pie are bound together by affection
and the more closely they come in con-
tact in daily life the more strain there
is on feelings, temper and nerves.
Try n little more politeness among
the folks at Tome. If you are not
treating your own people with the
same courtesy you give TO others, try
for while to do so, and see if it does
not improve many hitherto trying
and unhappy situations.
Life is Just our chance of learning
love, as the wise poet said. And there
is no better opportunity 10 learn that
lesson than in our daily contact with
those who are nearest and dearest to
us.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

No account OF model tenements

ment Of the remarkable fact that they
not only offer the advantages outlined,
rent as cheaply as they do. and are
run as benehcently as if they were
a philanthropy, but that they also pay

ment, as a cold business proposition.
1t is not a theory that is being expert
mented with; the experimental stage
has long since been passed. II is an
accomplished fact Ever siace the ten
ements were built, each half year two
per cent. dividends have gone regularly
to stockholders of record. The invest
ment is paradoXlcally a business and

Almost without exception, reports are

temperature has stimulated distribution
OF wearing apparel and other seasonable

heavy stocks would be carried over at

There IS no decrease in the inquiries

The railways have been purchasing
new equipment freely, yet there is the
usual delay in moving freight that has
apparently become inevitable at this sea-
