Table etiquette is one of the hest
accomplishments one can have. Com
menting on this, writer in the Sun
day Globe-Democrat says:
One of the rigid laws-of etiquette
is proper behavior at the table, and
unless it is practiced at home IL
comes hard in after life to follow.
By proper behavior is not meant the
use, at exactly the right time,

ments now laid out on the fashion

because these change with every
twelve-month, and one would have to
study the new inventions closely to
know Just what each is intended for.
But 1t is the personal habits of good
breeding that are demanded of one
who aspires TO making no mistakes
in good form" at the table. Eating
is not attractive at the best. and II
requires many little niceties to make

the worst habits is that which indulg.

when you strike the southern country
where the white men have not sold
their cotton and the negroes have not
been paid for picking it, the audience
looks like a political caucus in an off
year, when there is nobody with
money enough to stimulate the voters.
When the audiences are small, and
half the people in attendance get in
on bill-sticker's passes, and you can't
pay the help regularly, but have to
stand them off with promises, you are
liable to have a strike any minute.
The people you owe for hotel bills, and
horse feed, and supplies, follow you
from one town to another, threatening
to attach the ticket wagon and levy
on the animals. 1t takes diplomacy
and unadulterated gall to u a show.
We are playing now to get back
into the northern states, but we have
to leave an animal of some kind in
the hands of a sheriff every day,
which has been all right so far, cause
we have steered the sheriffs on to ele-
plants that have corns so they are no
good except to eat, one zebra that was
made up by a painter, who painted
stripes on a white mule, and n lion
that was so old he will never sell at
forced sale for enough to pay for the
beef tea the sheriff will have to feed
him.
