TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American Indians.

.L .L .Hu.NM 10000 ~
The North American Indians OF the
western coast have a tradition that
roses were created without thorns.
So tall and fair they grew that all
creatures yer attracted by their
beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness Of
the roses abundant foliage, and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to itself.
Every part of the earth had been
given Its glory of roses, but in every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to devour them,
and and tribes of roses were in dan
ger Of becoming extinct. In their ex.
tremity they held a council, for in
that faraway morning of the world
plants as well as animals had power
to speak. To the council all the
roses came. and each had a tale to tell
of suffering and disaster. At length
1t was decided to send for help to the
goldman OF the tribes--the Hiawatha
of the west. Delegates were chosen
from among those who were MANNED
and torn and had suffered most. 9th
ers also were sent who were tall and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun-
Gil discerned that should justice be
denied the tribes. beauty might pre-
vail In their cause.
The conference was long and grave.
At Its close an armory of thorns was
given to every rose. and thus were the
tribes Of roses delivered from the en-
emies.-Circle Magazine.

Courtesy at Home,

We are all creatures Of habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character of
both. The root OF all bad is
~selishness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear, and drops SO
far behind in time that 1t disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette Of society
when at home" True. for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
cicty together. but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
b 70 much the habit with each Of ID
that II viii become our second nature.
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than Z m arm or . LEG.
