IL PAYS To BE IOIiNe.

1t does not cost anything to be
polite to your friends and acquaint-
ances, and incidentally it goes a long
way toward making life pleasant for
yourself.
A civil answer makes more friends
than a gruf one and smile succeeds
when a frowB fails.
We have no right to impose our
little tempers and annoyances ON our
fellow beings.
The fact that one person annoys
us does not Justify us in visiting 1t
on the next person we meet
And yet that is what a great many
of us do. One trivial annoyance
often upsets us for the whole day.
Some people have the happy knack
Of showing courtesy TO everyone with
whom they come in contact.
1t is delightful quality and one
which brings its possessor great pop
ularity.
Abruptness is n hard fault to cure.
and yet IL can be done.
You see, II Is so easy to hurt peo-
pies feelings by speaking abruptly
to them.
1t may be done quite uniutention-
ally, but nevertheless the fact re-
mains that it is done.
And the funny thing about 1t is
that those who are most given to
hurting others are generally very cas-
lily hurt themselves.
The quickest way OF curing a habit
is by never forgetting that you are
curing it.
If you are inclined to be brusque,
abrupt and harsh-spoken you must
keep the one thought constantly on
your mind.
Underneath all that you are doing
must run the refrain: Il must be
pleasant; | must be courteous. -
Good Business.

An 0x-Shoeing Shop in the Woods

In some portions of the Pacific
Northwest teams OF oxen and bulls
are still used for hauling out logs
from the forest. To prevent the ami
mails from slipping on the wet skid
roads and In the swamps, they are
sometimes shod. The bulls, however,
are so difficult TO shoe that 1t Is nee
essary TO tie them securely before
the operation; otherwise they would
kick over the farrier and do other
damage In their efforts 10 release
themselves. The accompanying pho
tograph shows one OF the novel black
smith shops. which is designed for
shoeing bulls in one OF the Washing
ton lumber camps. The animal is
led into framework Of stout timber

formed with a concaved or channel

the match to the opposite end. In
this channel is placed igniting mate
