Etiquette Lessons for Men.

When a lady gives you her seat T.
a street car, thank her, but in such 1
manner that she will not be embold
ened to open a conversation with you,
is a bit of instruction doled out on
the mems page in the Delineator.
When someone calls you by phone
and says: DO you know who is talk
ing?" and you answer that you do not,
and the person continues to ask If you
don't or can't guess, utter a joyous
peal Of laughter and say you know it
is the sanitarium. Then hang UP the
receiver.
If you know a fat girl with a slim
sister, always mistake the fat one for
the slim one, and vice versa.
When waltzing with a lady who
steps upon your toes, it is nice, If you
have a wooden leg, to keep the foot
of tina leg where she will step upon
it oftenest. You can do this unob-
trusively with a little practise.

BetterIng the Cities.

For a dozen years state leagues Of
municipalities have been strong fac
tors in the movement toward more eff
fciently managed cities. The League
of California municipalities is now in
it's thirteenth year, and holds annual
conventions in some cities within the
state. The last convention was held
at Santa Cruz and the program for
the next one is now being arranged;
1t will be held at San Diego, Novem-
Der 16 to 10. The league publishes
A monthly magazine devoted to mu-
nicipal matters, which is mailed free
to every city official.
The California league numbers 120
cities II towns in its membership.
The League Of Iowa municipalities has
the largest membership, with Cali
fornia second. Nebraska and Kansas
were recently organized, and West
Virginia. Iowa, Wisconsin and other
states have organizations of lone
standing.
The purpose of these organizations
is in part-to give standards Of com,

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
Scotsmen Objected to Mixture of Good
Whisky and Religious Con-
~VersatIon.

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was
the principal guest at a dinner of the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by a discussion on
"Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spelling of good
dinners by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a ~bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck a note
OF probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The ~bluebottle
buzzed On the pane; otherwise ST
lence reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
Sandy, I'm thinking If yon fly is q
birdie or a beastie."
The other replied: Man, don't spoil

HOUSING REFORM DON'TS.

Don let your city become a city of
tenements. Keep it a city Of homes.
Don't imagine there is no necessity
for action because conditions in your
city are not as bad as they are else
where.
Don't build a model tenement until
you have secured a model housing
law.
Don't attempt to legislate first and
investigate afterward.
Don't permit any new houses to be
built that do not have adequate light
and ventilation and proper sanitation.
Don't legislate merely for the pres
ent.
Don't permit the growth of new
slums. Prevention is better than cure.
Don't tolerate the ledger evil. Nip
1t in the bud.
Don't tolerate cellar dwellings.
Don't let the poor be denied a liberal
supply of water in their homes.
Don't permit houses unfit for human
habitatiOn to be occupied.
Don't repeat the talk about the
poor not wanting good housing ac-
commodations.
Don't permit privies to exist in any
city. Compel their removal.

THE Clearly Japanese say a. man

Does the man who sends to a mail

Does he also take into account the

them to go on one Of the youngsters
had disappeared Sarah mustered the
five in order and made her entrance
with grand flourish. The house was
crowded, but not a handicap greeted
her as she appeared. Then still, small
voice in the gallery murmured some
thing in an indignant tone. Fifty
voices Immediately took up the strain.
and In ten seconds more the whole
house was shouting the same phrase.
Bernhard strained every nerve to
catch what they were complaining
about. She knew the phrase began
with "Manque," but the rest Of 1t was
lost in the general hubbub. For full
minute the tumult continued. Then
Sarah, muttering things below her
breath. rushed like fury down to the
footlights. In the front row the &c
tress had spotted one man who was not
taking part In the hullabaloo. Pointing
Mt him. the actress exclaimed sternly:
You seem to be the only sensible per-
son in the house. Tell me what on
earth they are Kicking up this row
for?'
The man rose, bowed to the actress
and remarked in very bad American
