Cultivate Good Manners.

Good manners must not be mistaken
for "mannerisms," which should ever
be avoided. The former spring from a
constant regard and thought for the
feelings OF others, from habltual self
denial, from a love Of gentleness and
peace, while the latter is merely af-
tectatIon.
There can be no true politeness
where there Is no consideration for 9th
prs. Good manners are shown IN small
deeds rather than the big actions OF
life, In the everyday intercourse rather
than at occasional parties.
There Is no woman so respected, 90

than follow either course. the Saviour preferred to preach to them a parable that would instil the right principles and that would strike at the root oi the evil, curing it.
 "The departments of government continued the speaker, "are divided in to the legislative. the judicial and the executive. The first is responsible for good laws; the second foi good judges the law. No corrupt legislator can be where Christ's principles have been thoroughly instiiled. There can be nc corrupt judges. no corrupt city protec- tors
 Neither Christ nor Paul were ever heard to utter a single word against the Roman or Greek laws. By instill- ing the great principles that overturn all immortality, the laws of nation are made to conform to Gods will. Tc cure the present day evil of intemper- ance there are at present two grea' methods. The first is to break up all saloons, wild tigers and distilleries. and the last and only feasible is to instil the principles of law and order that Christ would have impressed upon the people.
 Christ said. take heed and beware of the eveil of covetousness.' Thats the way he prefer ed to treat the dis ease which he had been asked to cure Ministers and commercial travellers Nre not covetous the travellers have the reputation of being generous, and the preacher has not the means for being so.
 "Selfishness is at the bottom of all society at the present time; 1t is grow Ing latter and more powerful every day. Covctousness is the curse of both the Iaborer and the capitalist. The last named is covetous of the laborer'r work; the laborer is covetous of the capitalists money and is desirous of doing as little as possible for as much money as can be had"
 From four Scriptural selections the pastor suggested a cure for the evils of covetousness. First let every man look not upon the things that are not his own: second bear ye one nnother's burdens; third. do unto others as you would have them do unto you. and fourth. show love and charity for al the world
 In closing Dr. McGehee said:
 '"rhe three pillars of your order upor which you rest. grand and noble pill lars are Unity Charity and Temperance Unity means that your minds are to. gether; charity means that your minds hearts and hands work together rol the good of each other; etemperanct means that your minds. hearts an6 hands work together in the proper manner.
 "where are you going to get the power to enable all this? Here's an | other triple cord that I would suggest in obtaining this power: Faith Hope and Love.
 Take them and throw them above the clouds, and put them in Gods hands. May your cord of unity. char ity and temperance bind itself around the bodies of your brethren. catch to the other cord of faith, hope and love by which you can raise yourselves to the throne of God. May it be cheering to your soul. steady and reliable, and when your travels are over and your journeys past. may you enter the King dom of Heaven at last"

PRAIRIE LANDS SUFFER MOST

The jump of the cotton market to 12 cents was not unexpected in Ala bama. Montgomery County farmers say that crop prospects for the first of June are poorer than they have ever before known.
 A wet May is bad enough. A wet May is the very l.ling an Alabama farmer does not want. But coupled with a wet May was a cold spell almost without parallel. Cold nights are fatal to good cotton, and there were many cold nights in the month which has just ended
 The conditions have been especially the best cotton lands of Montgomery County are prairie lands. The prai- rie lands in some instances have been practically abandoned for cotton this year. Some of the bottoms which were planted in April have been given up and the planters are waiting now for them to dry out so they can plant corn where they have already planted cotton.
 
 suffered enough misfortune from the weather have not had to undergo what the prairies have experienced. Alder man J. c. Tyson, who has returned from IIowndes County, where he has been overlooking his planting interests, said that while the prospects on the sandy lands were bad enough, they were not as bad as he had expected.
 "The best cotton crops are three weeks behind time. The cotton is very small, but on the sandy lands 1t ap- pears strong, although small. I think if we can get some good weather now we will manage to pull out.
 Its different with the prairie lands. Crops there are in bad fix--a mighty bad ax. I hear that they are aband- oning the prairie bottoms. The water has been standing on the cotton cror and cotton prospects have been ruined The best those farmers can do is to plant the prairie bottoms in corn as soon as the land dries out"

Tipping System Breeds Graft.

Waters writes on "Shall We Give Tips?'
He says:
But 1t is the nature of the graft that
the extorter has always in his turn to
meet extortion. If the waiter does not
share his harvest with his helper, the
''bus-boy' will complain to the head
waiter and the latter will also demand
share. Indeed, was told by several New
York walters that their salaries are COR
who thus exact their share of the pat
rons' gratuities. The method is as fol-
lows: The head waiter borrows sums of
money from the regular walters; and If
the latter demand repayment, they soon
find themselves out of a job. A walter
working in a Chicago hotel told me that
unless he tipped the chef constantly, ma
got the wrong end of the joint, thus less
ening his chance of pleasing his custom
er. Still another waiter complained of
having to contribute part Of his earnings

of having his change handed to him in
such denominations as would make Ii in

ut is not necessary to assume that
walters are as a class deliberately dis
honest; such Is not the case But one
cannot cling to the spokes of a moving

scorn to steal from his neighbor, con-
