What Not to Say.

ssh article by Bertha Gaus in the New
Idea Woman's Magazine for January
takes up the polite art of conversation
from a negative point of view The
"don Is" enumerated by the writer for
those wishing to be good takers, are:
Don't tell long stories of personal ex-
perienees. Don't ask trifiing Questions.
Don't air your preiudices. Don't talk
of melancholy or gruesome matters.
Don't speak in low monotonous tone.
Don't ride conversation too hard Don I
hinder the conversation by trying TO be
too accurate over details. Don't go
back and add appendices to subject
after you have left it. Don't run one
story into another. Don't stop a discus
sion by clinching the use of u proverb.
Don't make point of always agreeing
with a speaker. Don't harp too long on
Que string. Don't affect a stilted style. p"
After discussing these prohibitions to
takers at some length the writer con
cludes: "Still il must be confessed that
there are people who are constitutionally
incapable of following out these rules,
and r'fio.-ih spite OF - their violations.
are interesting people Thew have ma
tive strength and make their own rules
of self-expression. They are the stuff
out of which novelists make character
representations. In real life, as in books,
they add to the gaiety of nations. But
they are not exemplars of the art of
conversation, which requires harmonious
balance in all the give and take OF con-
versational exchange"

her Mrs Lundy was most estimable
woman and enjoyed the respect and
esteem OF large circle of friends and

In her home, where her life shown

She leaves devoted husband of 26

School for Stockmen.

The increasing interest being shown
in live stock exhibitions throughout the
country is an evidence that live stock
producers and growers are commencing
to appreciate the value of these exhibi
tions from an educational standpoint,
The study of live stock is conducted by
n comparison OF type, and it Is only at
these exhibitions that such comparison
may be had. In those parts OF Europe
where live stock breeding has been
brought to its highest state OF perfection
the live stock show has long been the
important feature and nothing attracts
such interest among the people generally.
The rapid growth of the International
Live Stock Exhibition at Chicago and
the American Royal at Kansas City in
dicates the turning OF sentiment tow
ards more scientific development of
live stock in this country The organ
ization Of the Western Stock Show at
Denver for western stoclxmen is the
commencement Of more intelligent livs
stock production in the west. The com
ing big show in Denver. which will open
on January oath next, will without doubt
be the greatest show Of its kind ever
held west Of the Missouri river Plans
are being made whereby the show can
be conducted upon lines that will permit
of the greatest benefit TO those who at
tend. The judging will be done in
large ring prepared for the purpose.
where it can be watched carefully by
the stockmen. and the judges will be
required to tell why one animal is pre-
ferred over another. This work OF it,
sell is Of the greatest value to stock
men. From n commercial standpoint
the Denver car lot exhibit Of cattle,
sheep and hogs will be OF the greatest
value These exhibits will be indeed
on commercial basis and the proof
of the judges decisions will be found
at the close OF the show when these
exhibits Will be sold at public sale to
the highest bidders. 1t is hoped that
every section Of the west will be rep
resented at the show, and there is every
Indication that competition win be very
keen. Entries for the big show will
close on January 10th. Those stockmen
who are interested and who have not
yet secured entry blanks, should write
