Things That Are Essential to "a Good
CoEsversati0noEfst.
To be good conversatfonalist you
must be spontaneous, buoyant natural,
sympathetic, and must have spirit OF
good viii. You must feel a spirit Of
helpfulness and must enter heart and
soul into things which interest others.
You must get the attention of people
and hold it by interesting them, and
you can only interest them by a warm
sympathy-a real, friendly sympathy.
If you are cold, distant and unsympa-
thetic you cannot get their attention.
To be a good conversatfonalist You
must be broad, tolerant A narrow,
Stingy soul never talks well. A man
who is always violating your sense of
taste, Of justice and Of fairness never
interests you. You lock tight an the
approaches to your inner self, every
avenue is closed to him, and when they
are closed your magnetism and your
helpfulness are cut Off, and the con-
versatton is perfunctory, mechanical
and without life OF feeling.
You must bring your listeners close
to you, must open your heart wide and
exhibit a broad, free nature and an
open mind You must be responsive.
90 that listener will throw wide open
every avenue of his nature and give
you free access TO his heart Of hearth

A prominent physician tells this story
at the expense of the modern craze for
specialization in the medical profes
sion: A poor woman from the east side
Of New York went to nearby dtspen-
sary to ask aid for her little son, who
had had one Of his fingers smashed
by a baseball bat. At the first room
where she applied she was told by a
curt attendant that the boy could not
be treated there.

PUNY EAST INDIANS.


Are a Sorry Lot.
"The queerest sight you see in India
is the native born" said the sailor.
1.-The native born is the thinnest, soft
est, LATEST, sallerest thing in the way
Of white man that was ever in
vented.
"And he Is the proof that England
won't never colonize India. For the
English can't live in India, you see.
The moist heat of that there land, with
its nights Of 40 degrees and It's moons
of 130 or worse, takes the strength and
backbone out Of an Englishman, gives
him liver trouble and makes a COM
plete wreck of him.
IF he goes back home, he may re-
cover his health. If be stays in India,
be don't never recover it. If he has
children born in India, those children
are called native born, and for poor,
little, puny, spiritless critters they're
the limit
''If them native born English have
children in their turn--well, that third
generation of native born has none, at
least. 1t Is generation Of idiots, para
lytcA cataleptics, cripples. If you was
to see an army Of native born Of the
third generation. you'd think you had

Willie Also discovers.

A teacher in charge of the second
primary grade at Denver school was
telling the children about Columbus
one day not long ago. She told them
all about the home life of the discov-
erer of America and all about his peo-
pie.
His relatives" she said, "were wool
combers.''
The next day Columbus was discuss
ed again. "By the way, children" said
the teacher, "do you remember what

This is the West Indian way of pre-
pairing oranges for the table: Peel the
oranges, taking off as much white skin
as possible; then slice them off all
round as you would an apple, regard
less of the sections This leaves the
seed, tough, stringy central part and
most of the inner skin together and is
a much less tedious process than re-
moving the skin by sections, Use a
very sharp knife, so as to make clean
cuts and not crush the fruit.

THE FAN GOES
ON FOREVER
THE THIRTY THIRD DEGREE
ENOUGH BALL STORIES.

Few people who are not base ball
fans begin to realize the intense inter-
est the base ball fans Of America have
in the game of base ball No business
man pays greater attention to the de-
tails of his business than the fan does
to all the details of the game. The
fan does not quit with the season. He
goes on tanning all winter long. There
is no base ball item, whether it be one
line or a thousand, that he does not
revel in and remember.
The worlds championship series has
been over for many weeks and most
people have forgotten about it. The
fan still talks of that series, and will
continue to do so for months to come.
Since that series was finished the St.
Louis Sporting News, the representa-
tive baseball paper of the country,
has been running eight and ten col
umns of stuff a week about the games.
And there will be stu more. The News
knows what the base ball fan wants,
and the fact that fifty columns Of mat
ter about this one series has been
printed simply means that the base
ball fans cannot get any too much of
it. It is safe to say that no other
class of readers devour their special
class of news with the eagerness, avid
ity and enthusiasm of the base ball
fan. There has never been type enough
made in the world to print base ball
stories enough to satisfy the appetite
of the thirty-thlrd degree fan.
The grocery stores in every town,
city and crossroads of America will
be a base ball tanning headquarters
all winter.
The base ball fan is in class by
himself-happy, hearty enthusiastic,
unforgetting, argumentative, facetious,
always enjoying himself. He is ire
pressible and unquenchable. Long
may he thrive!

THE ORDINARY WOMAN

BY Elizabeth Meriwether Gilmer.
L wish that I had the distributing of
some of Andrew Carnegie's medals for
heroes. I would give one to just the
Ordinary Woman. 1t is true that she
never manned a life-boat In a stormy
sea, or plunged into a river to save
a drowning person. It is true that she
never stopped a runaway horse, or
dashed into a burning building, or gave
any other spectacular exhibition Of
courage.
She has only stood at her post thirty,
or forty, or fifty years, fighting sick
ness and poverty and loneliness and
disappointment so quietly, with such
a Spartan fortitude that the world has
never even noticed her achievements;
and yet, in the presence of the Ordin-
airy Woman, the battle-scarred vete-
ran, with his breast covered with
medals signifying valor, may we'll
stand uncovered, for one drawer than
he Is passing by.
There is nothing high and heroic in
her appearance. She is just a common
place woman, plainly dressed, with a
tired face and work-worn hands-the
kind of woman that you meet a hum
dred times a day upon the street with
out ever giving her a second glance,
still less saluting her as a heroine.
Nevertheless, as much as the bravest
soldier, she is entitled to the cross of
the Legion of Honor for distinguished
gallantry on the Battlefield of Life

They do me wrong who say l come no

At sunrise every soul is born again
Laugh like a boy at splendors that

To vanished joys be blind and deaf

My judgments seal the dead past with

But never blind moment yet to

Though deep in mire, wiring not your

Dost reel from righteous retribution'5

And find the futures pages white as

Each night a star to guide thy feet

Our homes should be bright and
CHEEKY. They can be made so if we
learn a lesson from nature, and con-
struct beautiful things from simple ele-
ments.
Children love beautiful things; it is
well that they do. They will spy a
bright-colored pebble among a host of
dark, uninteresting ones. They are
wiser than we grown-ups. They are
continually on the lookout for the beau
ties Of nature. They catch the sun
shine, but pay little attention to the
shadows. We can learn a lesson from
them. 1 fear We too frequently are
looking for the somber tones, while
there are bright, warm tints on either
hand
We are so glad that beautiful things
do not always have to be expensive
things. There are many really good
reproductions of fine pictures that can
be had at little expense. Wondrously
artistic wall paper can now be bought
at moderate prices. House furnishings
with an air" may be had compare
lively cheap. inexpensive clothing can
be made daintily and prettily. Oh, yes,
our homes may be beautiful places,
even though our means are limited.
And each member of the household
may be beautiful in spirit, if not in
feature. Each one may add something
to the harmonious whole
From the beauty of things without,
children can readily be taught lessons
regarding the beautiful life within
Children will soon see that whatever is
ugly and sinful will mar the beauty of
the whole. They will desire that their
souls be pure, clean and beautiful. Our
child has a right to be well born and
well trained in principles that are pure
and right, and to be well guarded, and
taught how to keep himself from the
unlovely and harmful. He has a right
to enjoy the rosy dreams of childhood,
undisturbed and unbroken by the hide
Gus nightmare of evil and the mother
must for the most part, be the one tc
guard the sacred precinct. Moreover
the habit of seeking and pointing out
the things that are lovely for the BEN
eft Of others will prove a blessing to
ourselves

coNsCIENcT FUND RECORD.

Kant the Koenigsburg philosopher, expressed the ennobling sentiment that two things always excited his rever- ence for the world in which he lived beyond anything else that he knew and understood. One was the heavens above him with their matchless harmonies, and the other was the moral law with in him which drove or led men in the path of right.
 It is before this court of last appeal that men plead guilty and set them selves right by making restitution. The courts of law may fail to bring about justice, but the conscience which is not at ease with itseluf is the more effective kind of unstable. In obedience to it's hehest, George w. Perkins, by refunding the campaign contributions from the New York Life, has made one of the largest additions to the conscience fund in the records of modern business. But the signifi- canoe of this act, commendable as it is not simply personal. It marks de- decided advance in political morality and corporate fidelity. It is also one of those acts that shows how effective in the long run the public conscience is as standard of authority for the mem bser of the community.-Wall Street Journal.

THE MEANING OF THE SHAMROCK

Detective Sergeant Jeremiah Dennehy
 Tells the Story of the Irish Emblem
 Detective Sergeant Jeremiah Dennehy was among those who yesterday receiv- ed a box of real shamrocks from At torney James Sullivan, of this city, who is in Ireland settling an estate. The little gift warmed the genial ser geants heart and he grew enthusiastic as he talked of it, just as every true hearted Irishman would. Its surpris- ing" he said "how few people know the true meaning of the shamrock" Then he went on to explain. There were three kings in Ireland" he con- tinued, land when St. Patrick was on his mission to the dear old country he succeeded in converting two of them But the third, the king of Terra Hill, could not understand how there could be three divinities (the Father, Son and Holy Ghost), in one. Then St. Patrick stopped down, picked up a sprig of shamrock with it's three clustered leaves and with this as an example he persuaded the doubting king. The shamrock symbolizes the victory of Christianity in Ireland"

LUA1BER PROMISES WE'LL
Enormous Stocks and High Prices at
 Southern Mills.

Southern Mills.
 Taking the big mills of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas as fair examples of others all over the southwest, prob ably never before was there So much lumber on sticks and in dry sheds as there is to-day.
 Two causes have contributed to this, says the Manufacturers Record, First the immense grain crop of Kansas, the territories and north Texas occu- pied the attention of all trunk rail- roads, to the exclusion of almost every other product of this section.
 Before that was disposed of the large cotton crop of the territories, Louisi- ana and Texas, came in for attention. Merchants were vitally interested in seeing producers get returns from their crops as speedily as possible, hence there was no disposition to interfere in this monopoly of freight cars hv the farmers products,
 The next cause was the unusual fa- vorable weather which has prevailed throughout the southwest for the past six months. During a residence of twenty-five years in east Texas the writer has never seen fall and winter more favorable for the manufacture of lumber. The mill man who did flot take advantage of this ought to go out of tho business
 Thus, while mill men could not ship lumber, they could and did make it, and February found fully ninety per cent, of the mills in this section with the largest stocks on hand ever known before.
 The weather has also been favorable for building new mills and enlarging and remodeling old ones. During the twelve months ended December last one hundred and sixty-two new mills of large capacity were built In the states of Louisiana and Texas alone, with prospects of an increased num- Der being built during the present year,
 We'll informed mill men say that the grand total of the cut of both large and small mills is something above ten million feet for the year 1906 To con- vey all this lumber to market would require five hundred thousand cars carrying twenty thousand feet each
 When the above facts are considered in connection with the large farm pro- ducts of this same section we need not marvel that we are beset with a car famine.
 During the last six months two things have contributed to make condi- tions favorable for the sawmill men for the ensuing year. Their inability to ship stock during that time has re- suited in accumulating an immense amount of dry lumber at mills, thus putting them in fine condition to fill or ders as soon as the car shortage lets up sufficinetly
 ! During all the history of this portion of the United States there has never been known before such a rush to Ok. lahoma, Indian Territory and Texas as during the period mentioned. Nor is that all For two or three years past crops have been record breakers, ant people who came to those sections il time to open up land and make crop
