ness Of Heart.

Courtesy IS a quality Of the heart
and suggests a f~orgetfulness OF sell, u
refinement and delicacy Of tempera-
nient that prompts the charming act
as impulse.
The gentle spirit Of courtesy be-
trays itself ia-the manner OF address,
ing a servant or a weary assistant be-
hind the counter as well as friends
and acquaintances. A lack Of courtesy
often results from a mistaken Idea as
to cne's own importance. The thought
Is born in the heart: but a false idea
Of Independence presents action. 1t
merely is an act of courtesy and q
mark of ~nobleness OF mind voluntarily
to resign ones right In favor OF an
other.
1t is the same mistaken Idea that
confuses %frankness with ~rudeness. II
is a virtue not to resort to the many
petty receptions that mar our social
system. While we turn with disgust
from the m who bids her friend
an affectionate farewell one moment
and breathes a sigh OF relief at her de-
parture the next, we can but admit
that a truly courteous heart will re-
frain from speaking an unpleasant
truth without imperiling the PERSONS
veracity.

along the Fox river from Aurora as
far north as Blgin and Carpentersville,
The Kane county women have been
working on this project for V G a
year, tat 1t has only been within the
last few weeks that they hit on the
novel plan Of raising the money with
which TO carry out their plans which
are intended to benefit the whole
people,
The work OF preserving landmarks
and identifying lands abutting on the
roadways was commenced in the fall
OF 1905, when they interested the
farmers to the extent of inducing them
to keep their weeds cut down. Then
the women engaged a landscape man
and drove him over the route, the re-
suit of which was that he drew up
an elaborate plan calculated to estab-
fish and maintain II of the most at.
tractive dnveways In the state.
After this came the project of rails.
Ing the money, Rich men, automobile
owners, drivers OF blooded stock, we're
appealed to, but subscriptions came
few and far between. During the
most Of the last summer there was
nothing done that led the women
workers TO hope for the
ton of the project.
Then n of the Aurora women
preached the project. She suggested
that the fund be started by selling
silver spoons Of q special design.
Then the women workers got their
heads together in working out a de-
sign. At the start II was determined
that a leading feature in the design
should be a good likeness of old Chief
Shahbona. who thousands of times
had passed over the trail now marked
by the roadway sought to be improv.
ed. The name Of Shabhona is an hon.
ored n in Illinois. To the white
settler of pioneer days Shabbona was
a friend indeed. History recites that
he saved settlements from massacre
and in many other ways so endeared
himself TO the white people that they

first only 500 were ordered. but the
spoons tHgan selling like the tradi-
tional hot cakes. Where at first it
was next TO impossible to stir up any
interest In the project, people in all
of the towns, including Aurora, Ba-
tayia. Galena, ST, Charles, and Elgin,
began buying spoons for themselves
and for presents. The local clubs o.
all the towns kept the matter hug
ming, and by this time, could old
Shabbona come back from the happy
hunting grounds, where he has been
sleeping for As winters. he would find
that his likeness in white metal has
been carried to almost every state
In the Union, where spoons have been
sent by remembering friends.
Inclosed In each box with a spoon is
a bit of history, which reads as fol-
