MI Bryan and Mr.. Daniel came face

The Might Of Manners.

Bliss Carmen, in Smart Set.
Good manners can not be donned nor
laid aside like a coat. Whether elegant
or simple. they are the expressive and ap-
propriate garment of personality, and it
Is one OF the tests for them that they are
habitual and can never be misjudged as
being assumed or affected. The least
touch of affectation or insincerity is fatal
to their value. To have bad manners or
no manners Is to announce oneself q
boor; but to use false manners is to be-
tray ones ineptttude.

Garibaldi a National Hero.

Giuseppe Garibaldi was pre-eminently
a national hero. In his country's long
and stubborn struggle for independence
and national unity his were the stoutest
blows that were struck for freedom:
with his regiments of devoted volunteers
he indicated italian honor upon the
battlefields of 1S49, 1859. 1850 and 1885,
winning in military annals q place among
the worlds great captains. while his
tory has not hesitated to rank him with
the prophet Mazzini. the statesman Ca
YOUR and the honest King Victor Eman-
uel-the makers of modern Italy. In the
days of revolution and conflict his name
was the dread of despotism, as it was
the hope o. the oppressed and today in
the land Of his marvellous achievements
1t justly symbolizes what is most unself-
ish. most fearless and most constant In
patriotism and what is Modest in democ-
racy.
