An old colored woman down in Ala

SANDY is ACCUSED.
Harry LADDERS Tale About Me.
Dowell's Top Hat.


In speaking of his kilt, at a dinner
In Washington, Harry Lauder said
Speaker Cannon tells me that the
kilt would never be popular on the
wind.swept prairies Of Illinois. Why
not? The bare knee hardens to the
cold like the bare face. But to hear
some people talk you'd think the kilt
as intolerable as Sanders McDowells
top hat.
Sanders Mcdowell, a coal HEAVIER
of PEBBLES, said angrily to his wife
one night:
'Havers, Lispeth. hoo NANNY times
am l to tell ye I Wilma hae the chill
dren bringin' up coal in my top hatH
"'Hoot, Sanders. mon, be reasona-
ble,' said Lispeth. 'Ye've spoilt the
shape O. the top hat wi yer funny
head already, an since ye're heavin'
coal all day, wot can little extra GOAL
dust in the head piece matter?'
woman, ye dinna grasp ma argy-
ment,' said Sanders. 4 only wear
that top hat in the evenin', an if I'm
oot an I TAX it off, 1t leaves a black
band round ma forehead. What's the
rasoolt? Why, I'm accused on all
sides o. washin' ma face wi me hat
on!'"

ON THE IDEAL GUEST
RULES FOR BEHAVIOR WHICH
WILL MAKE YOU WELCOME.
Etiquette Demands Consideration
for the Hostess as Well as Pleas
ure for the Visitor-Do Not Make
Demand Of Servants.

There are rules for your behavior
as a guest which the girl who goes
a-visiting will do we'll to consider,
says the Delineator.
Suppose we begin at the very be-
ginning. You have been asked by
letter for a short visit of a week or
two. Be sure in answering ii to re-
peat the days for which your host
ess has asked you. This Is the first
rule on your part. Also state in
your acceptance the train on which
you arrive and, if you wish, add the
train on which you will depart.
Whether or not you do the latter,
miss that train or change your mind
ana take another one.
Sec that your baggage gets on the
tr9in with you.
attend to your baggage checks at
the station yourself, unless you are
met by a man of the family or a
competent man servant who insists
upon taking this duty upon himself.
1t is best to give your checks to
the baggage expressman who comes
through the train, pay him and get
receipt.
Have the change in your pocket
book to pay for the trunk when it
arrives at the house. Never borrow
the money from someone in the
house or let your hostess pay for It.
There Is no intimacy or even rela-
tionship between friends that will
allow this.
From the moment you set foot in
the house, whether the visit be for
days or weeks, remind yourself over
and over that all the things in it.,
from the telephone to the chamber
maid are another persons property,
and that you must ask permission
for their use.
Do not make demands on the SER
wants in the house. They have 9TH
er duties. When they offer their
services to you accept them gra-
ciously, but do not call the maid to
fasten your gown fifteen minutes be-
fore dinner is served when she has
to wait on the table.
Ask the hours of meals and be
punctual. Write that in your mind
in letters of fire. 1t makes no diff
ference whether you are hungry or
not, at the appointed hour be at the
table.
Do not bother your hostess by re-
naming at her side all the time. Let
her so about her household duties
or to her room for brief rest, with
out following her around.
If you are visiting in house
where there are no servants, and
where the house work is done by
the family, then you should try in
every way to be of help. 1t takes
quite little tact to find out wheth-
er you are in the way or not, but
YOU can at least make up your room
and put away your clothes.

ELECTRICITY As A TONIC
Victims OF the Habit Constantly
Dose Themselves With Shocks.

Victims OF the Habit Constantly
Dose Themselves With Shocks.
''Of all the habits, the one that
sticks closest to a fellow Is the cleo
tricity habit" said a young doctor.
The drink habit and the cocaine
habit are mere summer fancies COM
pared with it. But there is one
thing to be said in it's cavor; 1t is
usually beneficial.
THE electricity habit Is contract
ed just like any other habit. A few
currents are administered during an
illness, hey strengthen and stimu-
late, and the first thing the patient
knows he finds the tonic indispensa-
BE. even after he gets well he
claves the treatment. ] know one
young woman who makes a fair liv-
ing by calling at the homes of cleo
tr.city victims and dosing them with
a few shocks from a galvanic battery.
Most slaves to the habit have
the.i own batteries, but they are
afraid to apply the treatment to
themselves. That is practically a
groundless fear, for there isn't one
chance in a thousand of a person
giving himself an overdose. Still,
they prefer an experienced hand to
manage the current Not all the
electricity fiends are invalids, by
any means. Many of them are now
as well as they ever were, yet they
have become so addicted to the habit
that they require the weekly, semi
weekly, or even daily thrills to tone
them up"

Since the granting of the suffrage
to the women of New South Wales,
Australia, the woman suffrage soci-
ETY. of that province which no longer
has any reason for existence has
been formally dissolved, and from its
ashes has arisen the woman's Pro-
gressive Association. This organiza-
tion appears to be body that has to
be reckoned with. for it has just ac-
complished the most difficult of all
tasks, namely, the raising Of the sal
aries of women teachers. Parlia-
ment voted 100000 to increase
teachers salaries, and the men teach
ers tried to get the whole of the
amount. The association, whose
members are all voters, did not see
the logic of such a division Of the
grant and objected to it SO strong
ly that the men were forced to share
the money with the women. The as
sociation is now trying to reform
the university and to secure among
other things the admission of women
to the senate and faculty.

Now and then some devout soul is
distressed over the fact that the
heroes of the Bible behave at times
quite as foolishly and as unrighteous-
iy as though they belonged to this un-
heroic age. My brother, the Bible is
given to US as a record Of Gods deal
ings with human beings. and not with
angels. Were this not true. 1t would
be OF little profit to us to read 1t. The
Word OF God presents but one perfect
character, and even that One was not
a seraphic being whose feet spurned
the earth, but the Son of Man, who
was tempted in all points like as we
are.-The Standard.
