cal was given at Grace Presbyterian

ard followed with several excellent
and thrilling cornet solos. Mr.. Geo

ing in the program were called back
twice, and were presented with a
large handsome bouquet, by Jackson
Gordon manager of the affair, who IN
connection with Albert B. George.

serve much credit in so successfully
planning 1t and at the same time
causing 1t to be financially successful,
as almost 500 was turned over to
Mr.. Howard and his family, Tuesday
morning. which is the largest sum so
FAR realized from any entertainment

THE VERY OLDEST VESSEL.
Built in Philadelphia In 1764 and
Probably Still In Service
In England.

Speaking Of the Life Of ships the
other day. George T. Sproule, secretary
Of the board Of port wardens, said
about the Oldest vessel he knows Of II
the True Love, which II she IL afoat
to-day is 14s years old. says the Phil
adelphia Record.
The True Love was built In this city
In 1854, and though she was only 90
feet and eight inches long. and Of IS
feet beam, she was the largest ship
that had been In these waters up to
that time. She sailed from this port
In 1765, and did not return until 1873,
when she was 100 years old. She came
In with q load Of cryolite from IVigtut
Greenland. Then she sailed again and
was no longer heard Of until discovered
In 1899 In the Thames river, England,
where shorn Of her glory, she was and
possibly still 10 doing service - q coal
barge.
There was q proposal among ship
ping men here to purchase her and
bring her over as q relic Of bygone
days and honest workmanship, but II
never came to anything.

Gazette. He was lighting with the
Turkish army In 1877; he was with
Lord Roberts in Afghanistan In 1873;

HINTS ON GOOD BREEDING
same Excellent Advice Concerning
Posture and About Manner
and Manners.

Charm Of manner may be an acquire
ment as well as an endowment. Man.
mar n much more subtle than manners,
writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland. in Suo-
cess Magazine. Manners may take on
a ine polish, but manner Is the uncon-
scious expression Of the inner self. Of
the personality which, when revealing
a lovely soul, II the most commanding
and persuasive force that one can ex-
ert.
Aloud laugh, an over-Vivacious man.
nsr betrays q lack Of breeding. Copy
the stiffness Of form, the quiet pOise,
which IL the great charm OF English
women, while q Vivacity somewhat un-
der restraint adds that which Is win
ming and piquante in the manner Of our
own country women.
In sitting, place one foot slightly in
advance Of the other, as a Frenchwom-
An always does. There will then be
NO effort needed to rise properly-it is
done without strain on any one set Of
muscles, and Is natural, easy and grace
full.
When one has spent day or more in
visiting at q friends house, ordinary
courtesy demands that, on ones return
home, a note shall be written promptly
to the hostess, thanking her for her
pleasant hospitality.
A gentleman does not make girl
conspicuous by over-attention nor shun
her when he Is thrown into her society
simply because she does not attract him.
A man, acknowledging lady's recog-
milton in a restaurant, Or hotel dining
room. should rise partly from his chair.
A gentleman never leaves lady alone
during an entr' acte at the theater.
Politeness II the best defense against
other peoples bad manners.
An engaged girl should accept from
her lover only such gifts as might be re-
turned to him uninJured. should the en-
Eagement be broken. It II bad form to
offsr or accept wearing apparel
Many persons prefer not to announce
their engagement until there Is pros
psct Of their marriage taking place with
In Q year.
The form Of announcement Of an en-
Eagegnent, among persons who make a
fashion by following It, is By note. Tia
young woman writes 30 her girl friends
and the man to his Intimates; the moth
ers Of the happy pair" also write to
those whom they desire shall receive
early information. The recipients OF
the pleasant news then pass It on
In choosing subjects Of conversation,
some one has aptly said that the three

what In Considered Economy Of Tine

Al Haste Abroad

Americans have the reputation OF a.
WAYS being In q hurry. Prof. munster
ber9 believes this is undeserved- In
his book. ''The American, he says
"SupernciA observers have orten sup
nosed the American to be always In
hurry. whereas the opposite IL the case
The man who has to hurry has oadly
disposed of his time, and therefore nAA
not the necessary amount to finish any
one piece Of work.
"The American Is never In hurry
but he so disposes Of his precious time
that nothing shall be lost He VIII
not wait. nor be q moment Idle. one
thing follows closely after anotnei
with admirable precision. Each task
is finished In It's turn. Appointments
are made and kept on the minute; ano
the result is that not only no unseen
" haste Is necessary, but also there
n time for everything.
"It is astonishing how Well-knoWn
men in political, economic or intellect
ual life, who are loaded with q thou-
sand responsibilities and an apparent
" unreasonable amount OF WORK, nave
BY dint Of the wonderful disposition
of their own time and that OF theiI

thing and even to spare.
Among the many things for which

even some which seem unnecessary foi
the busy man. He expends. for exam
pie, an extraordinarily large fraction
of his time In attending to his cos

ing newspapers, so that the notion
which is current In Europe that the
American is not only always In .

Of his work, is entirely wrong"

ONE VOTE THAT GOT AWAY
It Happened Because the Bass-Drum-
mer Didn't Get In Licks
Enough to Suit.

When the late Melbourne Il. Ford
made his run for congress he over.
looked nothing that he thought would
improve his chances Of election. One
Of his moves was the taking Of an or
chestra to Q meeting held in one Of
the small towns near Grand Rapids, re-
lates the Detroit Free Press.
This generous departure may have
won him several votes, but II unques-
tionably lost him one. Every village
has its character, and the one there
was Uncle Ike"
Whenever that orchestra broke forth
"Uncle Ike" fastened a fierce glance
upon the bass drummer. During the
ordeal the jaws Of the village chArac-
ter worked lie those OF q buck rabbit
eating cabbage, and his white beard q
the spinach pattern waved furiously IL
unison. Next morning one Of those
who had watched the actions Of "Uncle
Ike drew him out on the subject
keeping in mind that he played the
bass drum in the local "sheepskin"
band, and that jealousy seems an an
separable part Of the musical tempera-
ment.

Uncle Ike?"
Then you better hire some smarter
Teller to do your supposin'. No man
kin have my support that wastes hit
