rhe Rare elft Of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social
kindness, graces of speech, absence OF
rudeness, but honorable treatment of
business associates and of all the fell
low citizens with whom man of af-
fairs may have business to transact.
1t is not American to keep one citi-
zen waiting all day at the door be-
cause he is poor, and to grant an
other citizen an interview because it
is believed he is rich. Wisdom is not
confined in a purse, and frequently
much wisdom may be learned from a
poor man.

Perhaps the strangest pet that ever
attracted a regiments fancy was a

Canada during the war of 1912.
