VIII Lead Him Home.

young minister. exchanging pulpits
with one of his fellow preachers, and
arriving late, was conducted to the
church by the resident minister's fair
daughter. The sweet young woman
was known by the name of Grace. All
aglow with excitement, the young min
lister rushed up the aisle and gave out
the following for the opening hymn:
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me-
once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now l see,
Through many dangers, tolls and
snareS
I have already come;
It's Grace has brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.
That was humorous to everyone in
the church except Grace and the min
lister.

NEW YORK LETTER.


New York, Jan. Higher prices
from London and cheaper call money
started the stock market off strong
and higher this morning with the eX-
ception of Union Pacific which was in
clined to weakness.
The selling in this issue was much
better than the buying all during the
session. 1t is thought by well informed
traders that the recent investigation
Of the Hartman lines by the Interstate
commission contributed largely TO the
weakness in this issue. In the early
trading st. Paul. Copper. Reading,
Northern Pacific, Great Northern,
American Sugar and Baltimore s Ohio
all showed gains ranging from one
the various specialties.
Copper scored a new high record,
selling at 121A from an opening around
20 Il But on the advance large blocks
Of stock were offered by Standard oil
interests who are DESTROYS of bringing
about a reaction. The opinion is so
universally prevalent that Amalgamat-
ed Copper and copper stocks in general
are SO cheap and the earnings so large
that every one has the tip to buy Cop
per. it therefore may have a break of
a few points in the near future. The
Standard Oil crowd does not care for so
much company.
In the late afternoon a small re-
action was brought about throughout
the list caused principally by the weak
ness in Union Pacific and the marking
up of call loans from to 10 per cent
The early gains on almost every
stock on the list were entirely dissi-
pated and the market closed with a
weak undertOne

As to the Navy.

The New Orleans Picayune is in ia
vor of having the navy hold its own.
In view of opposition to an increase 1t
says:
"A vast sum of money has already
been spent in bringing the navy up to
its present standard of efficiency. This
money will be wasted unless the exist
ing standard is kept up and our fleet
is maintained in its present relative
position with respect to the navies of
other maritime powers. An efficient
antee of peace and the preserving of
peace, as we'll as the present

1t has been said that America has
money, but no manners, and some
times one. by looking about little,
comes to the conclusion that there is
more truth than fiction in the observa-
ton.
Money often means the neglect of
manners Also, many of us forget
what manners we originally had in
our hurry for the dollar. We rush
along at such pace that there is little
time or thought for the refinements
and courtesies that in the old days of
our grandparents were considered
necessary elements of good breeding.
We have cut courtesy out of business
hours. We have come to regard 1t
as a time consumer and a waste-an
indefinabIe and rather boresome some
thing; an affectation which we may put
on with our best clothes for weddings,
parties and other such affairs. 1t is
not, however. to be carried about with
us on ordinary occasions. Often we
class the man or woman who is really
well hammered as being OF the odd
school" Sometimes they are even
laughed at In truth, the illmannered
person often shows a certain bravado
in his lack of that finer quality which
used to be considered an essential. BY
right we should take a little time and
be courteous. Isn't it worth while to
try and treat people with respect?
We seldom show our lack of man
ners when on parade. The gentleman
on exhibition is very polite, but the
gentleman. or the man rather, in the
office forgets that courtesy which he
shows elsewhere. Why not take our
manners to the Office with us?-South
Bend Tribune.

DISTORTED HreH SCHOOL HUmOR

The Chicago morning papers print
a story of the looting of the lockers
of the University of Washington by
the members of the North Division high
school for the purpose of securing
souvenirs of the trip.
The locks were broken on twenty
eight lockers and sweaters, running
shoes and other athletic paraphernaIia
were taken. This distorted idea of a
joke is not unusual among the type of
fresh high school students that is very
common in this country, but when the

fact becomes known that this Disgrace
fuI raid took place after the athletes
of the University of Washington had
offered the visiting students from the
east every courtesy possible, such as
the use of the baths and the gym
nasium, it is inconceivable that team
of supposedly representative Chicago
high school boys should have proved
themselves such a discredit TO the city
from which they came.
These young men should have real
lied that the eyes OF the whole west
ern portion of the United States were
upon them and conducted themselves
accordingly. But instead of feeling
this responsibility the members of the
North Division high school team made
an exhibition OF themselves.
Some of the boys no doubt glory in
their adventure and think themselves
very clever, but perhaps if they appre-
eiated the utter contempt in which they
are held by those to whom age and
experience has given a more acute
sense of propriety and the dsappoint-
ment they have been to the saner high
school athletes over the west, they
would no doubt greatly regret their
"kiddish" actions.

WITH THE EDITORS.
To Announce Engagements.

A Kansas senator will introduce a
bill making 1t compulsory to publish
marriage engagement notices in local
paper and churches at least thirty days
before the ceremony. This is akin to
the rule in the Catholic churches of
publishing the bans. If Kansas will
also follow the rule of the Catholic
church regarding divorces there will
be much to commend in the Sunflower
state-Aurora Beacon.

there was q terrific crash and the en-

Nobody knew what damage had been

wore their overcoats and their hats,
and they carried rugs and handbags.
