MONEY AND MANNERS.

We of this blessed country have money and less
manners than any other people earth.
The more money, the neglect Of manners.
We rush through life in such hurry these days that
there is little time thought for the refnemens and
coureses that in the good old days of grandparents
were considered necessary elements of good breeding
We have cut courtesy out of business hours. We have
come to regard it time and waste-an
indefnabe and rather boresome something in the of
an affection which may put with best clothes
for weddings parties and other such affairs but not to
be carried about with ordinary occasions.
The man woman who has really good manners, now
adays distinguish being of the old school, I'm
fortunately the old school is passing away and there is
one to take its place.
So far have sunk that the of genuine courtesy
and polish must balance with of coarseness or
be damned sissy.'
Maybe it is ll-mannered to say such things, but the
fact less than the mannered assertion of it, fits the
times
Garish vulgary tains what is regarded commonly at
least the best society.
How much richer may get before degenerating into
utter savagery?

Nineteen hundred and six will have in history the
unique distinction of 'the muck rake year,
1t was preeminently year of exposure
There is reason to hope that result 1907 will be
marked as year of decided reforms
Newspapers, magazines and public of all stations
have united in the denunciaon of existing wrongs They
may be expected to unite demand for effective
Tection.
1t looked for while during the past year as though
the affairs of the country mighty bad But just
when they by exposure made to look the they
were really at their best
For all the exposures developed nothing actually
except an enlivened public conscience.
And an envening of the public conscience is the best
thing that can happen to any people
We simply opened eyes to evils that had long exist
ed And now that eyes opened to them it may be
expected that hands will be raised against them.
The year 1906 cry of shame. The year 1907 ought
to be shout of triumph.
The insurance scandals the packing house abuses
the railway rebates and various methods of macn
TALLY corrected.
notable step has been taken in the prosecution and
IN instances the conviction of type of criminals
who heretofore have regarded themselves immune from
prosecution because of their standing in the business
world.
Never before have opportunity and public spirit more
auspiciousy come together for tremendous reforms.
The next page Of American history ought to be the
best in the book.

FATE'S DECREE.

The tramp walked slowly up the
path until he came to the door of
the cottage. Despite the ravages of
time, his face still bore traces of
refinement and as he raped at the
door sharply, a flush of shame suf-
fused his features. But hunger is
stern teacher, and necessity
knows no law. The door opened
and a woman, apparently about 25
years of age and very progresses
ing, appeared on the threshold. She
looked at the ill-clad figure in front
of her.
"What is it you want?" she in
quired, kindly, bestowing com
passionate glance upon him. At
the sound of her voice he started
back, and, after a searchingl gaze
at her face, he calculated hOarsely
"Minnie!" The woman also utter
ed a slight scream and turned very
pale as he made the exclamation.
The woman placed her hand
upon his arm. Come inside, Ralph,
you must be hungry she said.
During the repast Minnie glanced
stealthily at him, and her heart
bled as she thought Of the once
rich, handsome and merry young
fellow a few years before, and she
marveled how he had fallen SO low.
He had wooed her in the past and
they had been betrothed, but gam
bling had seized him in firm grip,
and the scandal resulted in the en-
gagement being broken. His own
meditations were not of the bright
est. He thought of the ill-starred
past, and decided it was fate that
