please" and THANK You
Kansas City Jeurna


The man who has learned to say please"
with grace and sincerity is more than half
gentleman, even il he possesses no other re-
finements. Tho boy who is taught to say
"Thank yon' will never go to- jail These two
expressions are priceless treasures too often
thrown aside by needless men and women as
30 much word clutter to be eliminated from
common speech. Please is easy to say, and
it oils the machinery of our weary world more
than all the dry erudition of acquired scholar
ship. 1t opens the doors of confidence and
softens antagonism. In social and business
life 1t will compel response where money and
influence fail. 1t is the hall mark of breeding
and dignifies the user.
Thank you" That is easy to say also. but
how few realize its potency. 1t is the most
courteous expression in the English language,
and a man has to strain himself to say il CURLY
or without meaning. THANK you is an ac-
acknowledgement of civil obligation that carries
with it blessing to him who says it and a
benediction to him who receives it. 1t orna-
ments manhood and womanh0od more than
fine raiment OF the glitter of many gems.
THANK you'' tTiumphs above class and caste.
1t is all-eDcompassing, combining Difference,
respect and simple kindness. 1t stamps gen.
tility and promises those amenities that make
civilization success.

Perry Hall. 18th District.-Perry Hall has
been a very quiet village lately and the settle
ment of bet by disposing of keg of beer has
been the only thing that has created ripple
on the surface. In this case the loser as well
as the winner came in for share CT the spoils.
About noon on Monday last the house of
Mr.. Peter J. Dengler, of this place, caught fire
in the roof and in a remarkably short time
large number of persons collected and by good
work soon had the flames under control, but
not until the roof was destroyed. Water from
three pumps was supplied in quantities by
bucket brigades Much of the furniture was
moved out and was not damaged. The loss is
said to be covered by insurance. Mr.. Dengler
had been sick in bed for some days, although
he was up and about on Monday.
The B. & 0. survey corps is still at work in
this section and some farmers are not very well
pleased because the men walk over the wheat,
rye and grass fields without the slightest
thought, apparently, as to what damage they
may do the growing crops. This seems odd, to
say the least.
Complaining is being pushed rapidly and
farmers are up TO their ears in work. Com
plants are heard of the want of rain. x.
