Small Courtesies.

The small courtesies of everv dav
lite count for SO much and cost so
little, l am often surprised at the
scant supply most people seem to
possess. There is fine opportunity
gwen every day to show, or withhold
these. at home, on the street, in
school, or elsewhere, and the girl or
boy who does not utilize every oppor-
tun1ty to show such kindness, is los
ing much of the joy Of living Who
does not teel glow of pleased salts
faction with ones self, when a chance
to be polite, or kind, has won a pleas
.edd, thank you,' Or a genuine smile
OF delight? It is one of the things in
life worth while to do a gentle, cour-
teous deed.
Many young people seem to think
It not necessary to be polite at home.
1h1s is sad mistake; home folks
should have the greatest share of
thoughtful kindness and courtesy.
Deeds Of love and sympathetic kind
ness from chain whose links are
hard to break, one that will bind
hearts together long years after the
home circle is broken and its members
scattered far and wide. Remember to
be helpful and tender to mother and
father, to sisters and brothers first.
sometime ago, [ was making nv
way to a train, carrying many bundles.

cape the crowd, when a young man,
perhaps nineteen or twenty, stepped
up to me and tipped his hat, he said:

course | was grateful. He took my
bundles, all Of them, walked with me
to the station chatting pleasantly, and
when he turned to leave me, [ asked
his name.
No natter he said, "it has been
quite a pleasure to me-"
I replied: II can only saw I hope
that some day, some boy will help
your mother over a rough place, in re
turn" He smiled and was gone
| can never forget his sunny smile
his handsome face and helpful hands
Another day, I stepped into a
crowded street car. A young girl, not
more than sixteen, at the extreme end
Of the car, arose and beckoned me to
her seat She chatted pleasantly un-
til | arose to leave the car when she
took my arm, went with me to the
door and assisted me to the ground
with such gentle courtesy I could not
refuse her proffered aid, though I uid
not need it, preferring to let her fee
that she was rendering me assistance
1t was beautiful deed, and am sure
that she is veritable sunbeam al
home. Her name I shall never know
but | can never forget her gracious
kindness.

New York, Feb. 27.-(SpeciaD-
Evelyn Thaw was recalled to the wit
ness stand this morning for a short
time by District Attorney Jerome who
asked her about the alleged state
ment that she had purchased revol-
yer at one time to protect her against
her husband, Harry Thaw. She made
stout denial and was then excused.
This morning DIR. Wagner, the
Thaw family physician was recalled
and following him came DIR. Evans,
the insanity expert. the leading doc
tor who made such a good witness
for Thaw on his direct examination.
Jerome and Evans are not on friend
ly terms as evidenced when Jerome
absolutely refused to shake hands
with the noted alienist in the corridor
of the court house yesterday. The
cross examination of DR.. Evans, in
view of this unfriendliness is cer-
tain not to be a gentle affair.
1t is stated today that Jerome VIII

yn Nesbit, to the stand in an effort
to contradict certain statements made
by Mrs. !Thaw.

YOUR GOLD COINS.

See if Any of Them Is Stamped With
the Letter L.
81 got hold of a gold coin a short
time ago, and it was marked with q
letter l., which 1 supposed had been
stamped upon it by some one who
wished to keep watch as to whether he
ever had it in possession again.
paSeSd it along, to my landlord, think,
and thought nothing more about it for
several months. Then found out that
l had been passing light coin"
How is that?" was the question Of
a listener.
"All coins, whether gold or silver,
upon which large L is stamped are
light weight. When you get one of
these stamped coins, the only thing to
do is to take 1t to some assayer who
will weigh it and pay you about 10 per
cent less than the face value of the
coin for it. He will then place it in a
crucible to be melted into gold bullion.
"The government itself mutilates
these coins and in so doing turns the
ruined currency right back into circu-
lation, where some innocent party will
become victimized by them.
when the light coins are rendered
for duties on imports they are weighed
at the custom house, quickly stamped
L for light and returned to the I'M.
porter. If the latter cannot pass the
