The BANQUET rendered by the Beldlr g
Bros. last Thursday evening to the Bust
ness Men of the City in return for the one
given in their honor last May, was a
pleasant social affair and highly appre-
ciated by every one present. These
gatherings Of men engaged in the business
activities, not only in our city. but through
out all parts Of the country, has a tend
ency to bring in close touch the prices
which make business move and create a
spirit Of harmony and good feeling that
could not otherwise be done. The sug-
Restion by the POSTMASTER that they be
made an annual affair was a good one
and our business men should see to il
that their part in them is not lacking in
any particular.

A Puzzle in Spelling.

According to a Tennessee man there
was once a 'idge In the eastern Sec
tion of that state, a man well versed
In law, but entirely self-educated, who
to contend with the principles of or
biography all his life. In early life
he had lived in Knoxville, and for a
long time he insisted upon spelling
the name knoxville.
Finally his friends educated him up
to the point of adding the X; so thor
Oughly, in fact, was the lesson learned
that when, in few years afterward
he removed to Nashville, nothing
could prevent him from spelling In
Knashville.
Then, some time later, the Judge
moved again, this time to Murfrees-
boro. On the day that he began to
write his, first letter from this place
he scratched his head in perplexity,
and finally exclaimed:
II give 1t up! How on earth can
they spell the name of this place with
'K?'"

In Mixed Company.

The sort of people travelling and
staying at good hotels has become
very mixed. All classes and conditions
OF men are now sufficiently well off to
frequent the more expensive places.
A lady found herself recently placed
at table d'hote beside her dress
maker and the owner OF a shop where
she bought her perfumery, while a
gentleman, recognizing his hairdresser
In the smoking room, was accosted by
him with the polite request: 81 hope,
sir, you will kindly keep my secret,
but l am staying here, as | usually do
at hotels, not in my own name, but as

Do Not Be Morbid.

To a degree sensitiveness is a good
quality and one to be cherished. But
every fine quality has its defects, and
the defect of undue sensitiveness is
morbidness.
Never torture yourself by wondering
IL on this or the other occasion you
made yourself appear ridiculous. If
you made a silly speech be comforted
people will not remember 1t long.
II there was a clever thing you might
have said and did not remind yourself
that there are more days to come and
there will be other chances.-Home

a Mans Favorite.

A man may not acknowledge It.,
but he secretly admires the girl who
is her mothers right hand in house
hold matters, and who is not above
taking an interest in the most trivial
things in connection with home du-
ties. He likes to think that the girl
he hopes some time to marry can, In
an emergency, turn her hand to any
thing, from cooking the family dinner
TO making her own clothes. He wants
her also to be unselfish enough to
give up her own pleasures to benefit
another, and not consider herself i'll
used at having to do SO. This girl can
sometimes talk of more important
things than dress, and can listen in
diligently when deeper subjects are
introduced Matrimony has It's storms
and trials, and TO weather those
storms something more than a merry
heart and nice complexion are need
full.

underground Rivers Of Australia.

There are comparatively few rivers
of any size or Importance in Australia,
and a local learned professor OF
science has been explaining the rea-
son. In consequence of the geological
formation of the commonwealth most
Of its rivers are at present impris-
oned subterranean streams. He de-
clares that one Of these underground
rivers is the largest in the world, be-
ing no less than 200 miles wide and
running right through the center of
the continent. If these vast supplies
of subterranean waters were brought
to the surface and properly utilized
Australia would become the richest
country in the world.-Westminst

A Century Of Peace.

Lord Grey, who was once called in
Canada 1.-THE governor of happy in
spirations." proposes for the year 1914
a festival of the 100 years peace
between the United States and Can
ada. President Eliot conspicuously
moralized, three years ago, on the
significance of boundary of 1900
miles without fort or gun. Elihu Root,
speaking at Ottawa some months
later, dwelt on the same thought. 1t
was for Lord Grey to suggest cele-
bration.-Minneapol Journal.

Universal Law.

There is no clean-cut formula to ex-

never will be. The leaders Of scien-

the value of difidence. Law rules

mental principles become harder and
harder to grasp the nearer we seem to
have come to them.
