Anr1IE COURTESY.

The world has long agreed that q
little knowledge is a dangerous thing
IL remains for recent Developments to
suggest that just a little courtesy Is also
hazardous. The incident that focuses
attention on this saying Is the lamen-
table case OF Mr.. White, no more Am
bassador to the French capital.
Mr.. White is credited with being
worldly-wise and prosperous. He is
one Of those titular dignitaries who
can elevate his nostrif at an angle OF
forty-five degrees every time a common
citizen whose father may have at
some remote period sold embalmed
beef. pollutes the regal atmosphere OF
the gay Partisan court One OF his
specialties is to leave a lingering taste
of absolute unworthiness In the mouth
of the snubbed pIebfan. He does not
employ the brutal and frank methods
of his forbears, who in good Yankee
STYLE would have perhaps ordered the
undesirable citizen to go about
his business without the use OF any
superhuous badinage. He does the
scented thing-crested paper delicate
Nv perfumed, polite note that rankles
and burns.
In the course of human events
Billy Taft, freshly married and
ponderous, arrived at Paris. Mr.. TAFT
was In that seventh heaven of happi-
ness that is vulgarly denomInated the
HONEYMOON" He was proud of the
little beauty who hung on his arm and
he wanted to impress her with the cor
rectness OF her opinion in thinking
him 1.-The greatest man who ever
lived. The one speclal tnihs
upon which the lovers had set
their heart was Viewing royalty at
close range. When Mr.. Taft patted
his helpmeet on the jowl and said
That's all right, dearie, White Will
fix it, he didn't know White. Instead
of fixing it. as he could have done
with very little inconvenience to HIM
self, Mr.. White merely sent around
frosty little note expressing his re-
grets and enclosing museum tickets.
Mr.. Whites weakness was in not
being able to read the political stars.
He discredited the possibilities OF ev-
erv fat American citizen becoming
the president. The result OF his
blunder is now apparent Mr.. Tart
remembers. Mrs. Taft sees that he
shall not forget. Mr.. White tenders
his resignation and it is accepted.
A live story is added to the list going
the rounds of the press. The human
tribe smokers. And this moral Is
Taught a little politeness pays.

the Wsbash. and he and two of
his companions started across
the Wabash track to get some
material. just at this time q
long freight train was passing
on the Santa Fe, and Hsyss said
something to one of the men who
was with him. The man looked
up and saw the Wabssh local
freight coming and called to
Hayes, warning him of danger,
but Hayes evidently did not
hear him nor did he notice the
approaching Wabash train, and
knew nothing of it's presence
until he was struck by the cow.
