An unneee,,ary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by pris-
oner who gave himself away in very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list. and the charge against
him was merely one Of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, Just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning. and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list OF his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
ofIlcer read out about a dozen drunk
and disorderlies. but when he came to

DIFFERENCE IN THE RACES
MexIcans In the Main Unjust In
Blaming Americans for Lack
Of Poiiteness.

All the Mexican correspondents
who have written on the subject OF
why Americans are not better liked
by Mexicans agree that 1t is largely
question of lack of politeness on
the part of the foreigner here. and In
some cases an ill-concealed contempt.
The latter is inexcusable. and certain
ly must emanate only from inconsid-
crate or poorly educated persons. from
which no nation Is free. Politeness.
however, is largely a matter Of form
and training. 1t Is undeniable that
the Anglo-Saxon salutations. methods
of expressing thanks and apprecia-
ton, ETC., are simpler and shorter
than the Latin forms. To many who
have all their lives been accustomed
to the briefer Saxon ways, an attempt
Of the more elaborate Latin politeness
seems. for them. nothing short Of af-
fectation. and they simply cannot do
1t. There are exceptions among Amer
leans and Englishmen who readily
adopt the courteous phrases of the
Mexicans and use them naturally, but
they are the exceptions. And 1t is
difficult to see how this can readily
be changed. Our Mexican friends
should understand, on the other hand,
that II Anglo-Saxons do not. as rule,
go through as many social formalities
as the usages of the land prescribe,
they mean no offense thereby. They
are accustomed to taking good
many things for granted that their
Latin cousins give verbal assurance
Of Naturally. 1t is the duty of the
outlander to conform as nearly as he
can to the ways of his adopted coun-
try. but human nature and settled
habits are pretty hard to make over,
particularly unless you catch them
while they're young-Mexican Her

Vivid at Least.

Dr.. Hiram c. Cortlandt. the we'll
known theologian of Des Moines, said
in a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte is cleo
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how a locomotive is made.
"'You pour she said, a lot OF sand
into a lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
Into hole In the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour It
out and let 1t cool and pound it, and
then you put 1t in thing that bores
holes in 1t. Then you screw 1t to-
gether. and paint 1t, and put steam in
it, and it goes splendidly; and they
take 1t to a drafting room and make
bluep rint of 1t. But one thing l for.
got-they have to make boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside.
and they pound frightfully; and then
they tie 1t to the other thing, and you
ought to see 1t go!'"

Two Very Old Ladies.

We have heard great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it Is prob
able that the Oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem. in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81. 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however. is nine months
her senior, having been born in May.
1854.
She is still fairly hale old woman.
and for nearly one hundred years
worked In the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100. and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village of Bavelsko. whose
neigaborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning Of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

Oldest customs. that according to which

wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in car

there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by former elector of Brandenburg
with the object Of repairing the raw

elector forbade young persons to mar

An AIaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry.
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the 12 covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle of the
table a mirror held tall central vase
of frosted glass. surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
salted nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn, several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians. and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson
a la Bering Sea (halibut chowder).
Yukon climbers (broiled salmon. po-
tatoes Julienne), snowbirds avec
auroraborealis troast duck with jelly).
Shungnak river turnips, Tanana
