FIGHT FOR NIGHT
CAR SERVICE GOES ON

In spite of the difficulty with
which they are already meeting in
their effort to gain, recognition of
the need for an all-night car
service from the transportation
companies, the committee with the
work in hand will keep up the
fight. "We were somewhat disap-
pointed but not at all discouraged
in this matter, for with the bust
ness men and so many of the labor
ing men and women asking for the
night service, we believed that the
streetcar companies would not re-
fuse to grant it when the PROPOSE
ton was put up to them" one mem
Der of the committee stated. I'VE
intend to keep up the fight and
shall continue our endeavors to en-
list the aid of the business inter
ests till the night car service is
given"

Mayor Pratt was somewhat exer-
cised this morning over story
published in a paper to the effect
that he had lifted the lid" on
prize fighting. The executive said
today that he certainly has not lift
ed any lid on prize fighting or on
anything else which the laws for

PERFEcrINc MERGER.

The announcement in this paper
months ago that the United Mine
Workers and Western Federation
of Miners would amalgamate is be-
ing verified. The Indianapolis con-
vention has just taken another long
stride In the direction of perfecting
The merger that will mean the as
sembling of nearly 100000 men
under one union banner alone.
BY agreeing to exchange cards,
cooperate in organizing nonunion
districts and extend support to
each other in times of trouble, the
two big unions have virtually COM
bined. The next move will be for
the western miners to join the A.
+. of L.; then the two bodies win
form a trades department under the
federation, and work out the details
for complete amalgamation.

wish to live forever in the Heart of God they must

We leave the Christ No, we should not say
that, for no human being since the Babe of Beth

dead silence of the night it spoke. As You were
alone gazing upon the walls Of thy room, 81 spoke
and it reminded thee of thy incestuous life. 1t
brought before thee the lewd dancer, and with the
lewd dancer the head of John the Baptist: it
brought before thee the mothers of Jerusalem
weeping over the lfeless bodies of their offspring
and calling upon the God of Abraham for justice;
it brought before thee all which is known only to
you and your God Blunt was thy conscience
Hered, bad living makes conscience blunt but
blunt though it was, in the dead stiffness of the
night it tortured thee. Dancing women, flaring
lights, the sparkle of the wine cup, the aduaton
of thy courtiers could not still it. Conscience,
blunt though 1T was, spoke through all these spoke
over all these, and thy blunt conscience condemned
thee. and its condemnation brought thee untold
torture, and the days of thy life came to "a close

open the books of God and after Herods name we

earnest man something which always compes
the multitude to listen. In John the Baptist there
was an earnestness, equaed by no man born of
woman, and to him succeeds ST. Paul, and that
strong, bright, pure tearnestness which animated
John the Baptist, sprung from his Cody mission.
The multitude hear him. His words have the
strength the ring of heaven about them, and carry
conviction to Jewish hearts welded more firmly

The Art of Compliment.

There is still an art of compliment, and it is
still practiced worthily and unworthily. The flat
terer of today deals little in words. He acts and,
above all, he initiates. We all initiate each other
with pitiful diligence All classes try to dress
alike. With a sad want of dignity men and women
fear to take their line to show the kind of hos
pitality which best BELTS their incomes, wear
the clothes most convenient for their work, to talk
upon the subjects which interest them to express
the disapprova which the class above them ridcule
and the admiration which offends the fashion lead
ers of literature and art.
The art of compliment may, however, be we'll
worth the study of all those who value the pleasant
ness of life above its pleasures. Graciousness is
never out of fashion. We must tell our friends
from time to time what we think of them. There
are reserves which blight the whole beauty of life.
But we must be at the pains to tell them i'll the
right way, for friendship in some of its aspects is
art Again, if we hope to get much enjoyment
out of social life we must take the trouble to show
ourselves well disposed and must know how to turn
indifferent and insignificant occasions to account.

.eSmile On Me-

sweet story is told of the little three-year-old
girl the pet of the household who came down u
few minutes late to breakfast. She had one foot
on the round of her chair, but not allowed to
climb up until her papa had asked the blessing.
Then she looked around her and saw that the fam
lily were offended and her childs heart was broken
ooh, mammal" she cried, with quivering lips.
'ssmile on me-
The,childs impulse was natural. A smile means
cheer, love, sunshine, and the cry of the human
heart always is, "Smile onme"
We all know how loneliness and heartache may
be eased and how the aspect of whole day may
be changed by kindly glance, friendly look. Let
us see to it that we do not withhold this comfort
from one another. In heaven, God shall wipe away
the tears from all eyes. Let anticipate heaven,

Two kinds of Courtesy.

There are two distinct kinds of courtesy; one
is of the heart, and the other is of the head One
is the expression of genuine kindness and good
will, while the other is merely the result of good
breeding. One says Il beg Your pardon" because
it would be bad form" not to do The other
says it from the heart. Some has said that
"politeness is artificial good-natIrea but clearer
thinker comes nearer the truth when he says that
9good-natme is natural peliteness." Courtesy re-
sulting from mere good-breeding says and does
pleasant and polite things IN exquisite manner
with which the heart has nothing to do Joab was

Who Gets the .scolding.

1t is very backward child that does not know
how to lay the blame somebody elses shoulders.
Little Katharine does mot belong to that class.
Her grandmother had gone downstairs for a
few minutes, leaving katharine sailing some tin
ducks with a magnet IN bowl of water. Pretty
soon her grandfather looked up from his book. The
little girl had succeeded in drenching herself from
head to foot.
'Why, whyt' he exclaimed in dismay. "What
will grandma say now"
ooh" said the little girl, instantly, "she will
scold you for letting me do it"

courteous when, according to the approved custom
of the time he took Amasa by the beard to kiss him,
saying, cart thou in health, my brother." Never
theless, with his free hand did oab grasp his sword
This cold-blooded kind of courtesy obtains to the
present day. and SO well is it affected that it often
passes for courtesy of the heart. But it will not
stand the tests that true courtesy will stand. Cour
tesy of the heart makes no distinctions. 1t never
lapses into unkindness and rudeness when talking
to the lowest of ones interiors, and it is ser
vile before its superiors 1t is an attribute pecu
iarly gracious and charming in women, and they
who possess it add largely to the growing beauty
and sweetness and good of the world.
