She Wished She Hadn't.

A prim-lookipg woman, clearly past
the first blush of youth, and carrying
a bandbox, was one of several people
who were going up in an elevator of a
Superior street building. The elevator
boy, after some perturbation at adj
dressing so formidable a looking per-
son. said to her: Excuse me, miss,
you're losing your lid"
AS the woman raised her hand to adj
Just her hat she fixed the boy with a
cold and disappearing stare that had
no suggestion of thanks in it.
Don't you know that slang, which
is never in good taste. should be par
ticula1ly avoided when addressing
strangers?" she asked.
Il wasn't usin' no slang" declared
the boy. Il was talkin' aoout the lid
on your handbook"
Then silence reigned while a rosy
red overspread the countenance of the
woman.-Minneapolis Tribune.

The French philosopher, M. LIE Bon.
commenting on the motto Of the revo-
luton, Liberty, equality and fraterni-
ty," declared that the real difference
between the French and the British
lay in the fact that the French were
enamored of equality and cared little
for liberty, while the British insisted
on liberty and never gave a thought to
equality. And when some n quoted
this to Rudyard Kipling he instantly
added his own comment to the effect
that what the American really pre-
ferred was fraternity. HE is a good
fellow himself and he expects you to be
one"

some misapprehension or lack of infor

county and city officials, business mer
and even lawyers, relative to the exact
time at which the new code of 1906 goes
into effect. With the exception of the
privilege tax, municipalities, dram shop
health and quarantine, and parts of the
chapters on Supreme Court, Circuit
courts and supervision of common car
riers, the balance of the code will no;
become operative until October 1. Will
these exceptions the people of Mississippi
