The Polite Ruru,nn

In the cities of Burma, where the
natives have been long in contact with
Europeans. says the author of Bur
ma. Painted and Described" they have
lost some of their traditional polite
ness. but in the country districts old
school courtesy Is still the custom. An
English gentleman who had bought a
new pony was trying him out on a
Burman road when the animal bolted
and ran at top speed down narrow
road. In the way ahead was q native
cart, In which was a family party out
holiday making. The pony dashed into
the back of the cart. threw his rider
into the midst OF the merrymakers and
severely injured the Burman who was
driving. Before the Englishman had
an opportunity to explain his unexpect-
ed onslaught the Burman picked him
self up and bowed low. ''My lord,
my lord he said alphabetically, 'the
cart should not have been there"

The Cattle Shooting Habit.

The irate farmer who orders the city
sportsman off his lands" is always
incomprehensible to the man with the
gun. His stories Of damage to his cat
tie are unbelieved, but there seems to
be some reason for the rural objection
to city gunners "To know how wide
spread the cattle shooting habit is"
said government meat inspector, lone
should take up a position beside an in
spector at a packing house and note
how many cattle are flayed revealing
a charge Of bird shot in their bodies.
Some are peppered on one side only,
others on both sides. | don't know
whether the cases are all accidental or
whether the hunters shoot the cattle
full of bird shot just for fun, but
mighty few. either native or range cat
tie, reach the packing houses without
carrying souvenirs Of some glorious
hunting trip"

The Public In Speculation.

The public as body never buys any
thing when it is cheap. There are nu-
merous reasons for this. To begin
with, the pol% of view ST the success
full Spectator and that of the public
trader are entirely different. The first
named operates on deductions, on care
fully erected theories of what condi-
tons will be < year-twO years-hence.
The unsophisticated trader acts upon
whatever of the future is already ap-
parent. 1t is again a platitude to say
that Wall street discounts everything,
good or bad, but how many people
who mouth this axiom extract its full
meaning? They do not realize that this
discounting means, not the gauging Of
the known but of the wholly unknown
The man who acts today on the proba-
BILE conditions Of the long, unseen flu
ture is the man who makes money, in
Wall street or in any other enterprises
for that matter, and the man whose
mind goes farthest ahead makes the
most money. IF / could only see the

PaWnShOn Sales.

Don't imagine" says an auctioneer.
that you can get any real bargains at
Il pawnshop sale. The pawnbroker
knows just what people think about
his stock. many of them having learn
ed from experience that he will pay
next to nothing on the best quality of
jewelry and silverware. watches, etc.
and they thus get it into their heads
that all the articles sold at auction are
genuine goods. But there's where they
make big mistake. The pawnbroker
seldom sells any pledged articles at
these auction sales lie uses them sim
ply for blind Articles taken in
pawn are invariably sold at private
sale"-New York American.
