A Case of CouFtssy.

There is always time enough for
courtesy" says Emerson, giving voice
to a gentle truth which too often gets
overlooked in the great, noisy, worka-
day world. Arthur Ruhl in his article
on Santiago, published in recent Is

stance of politeness and Difference
which took on a national character.
The most interesting performance
saw was in a schoolhouse. 1t was a
normal school, where number OF very
earnest young Chileans were learning
how to teach. The principal, girl OF
twenty-five, was hearing class read
the En- dish fable about the hare and
the wicked condor.
"Pooair-r aleetle hare-r-re," they
read, in extreme embarrassment, Tor
some were quite grown up. Then tho
pupils lined up and sang national
song, then in English America" 1t
was a polite attention to the guests
which no Chilean would have received
In the United States.
After that the pupils drew a long
breath, smiled up to the gallery where
we stood, and sang, quite correctly and
with tremendous feeling, "My Old Ken
lucky Home" All could do was to
put myself in the place Of Chilean
who would drop by chance into New
York school and have the pupils stand

lowed by an ancient popular song OF

Dates Set for October IS Instead Of
August is.
Upon application of the defendants
of the so-called Pacific lumber cases,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has extended the effective dates of its
order from August Is to October Is.
This action was taken upon the show
ing made by the carriers involved that
owing to the immense number of rates
involved it would be physical i'm
possibility to check up the rates and
print and file the new tariffs before
August Is, and also upon their assur-
ance that, if the extension were grant
ed, they would not apply for an in.
junction to restrain the commission S
order from becoming effective.
They expressly reserve the right to
test the reasonableness of the rates
ordered by the commission in suit to
be brought for the purpose or in suits
which may develop out of reparation
claims by shippers who have been
shipping under the advanced rates.

BEFORE 1T REACHES
HAMPTON ROADS.

Auckland, New Zealand, Aug. IA
Zealand, the Atlantic feet has covered
practically one-half of it's voyage
