Charm of Manner.
By Ebert Hubbard.

Once in tramping along a country
lane in England, I stopped to admire
some very wonderful roses that grew
in clusters over the door of a little
stone cottage.
AS l stood there a woman came
out of the cottage carrying a baby,
and there were two other babies
tugging at her dress. And this
woman said to me in the sweetest
and gentlest manner, Would you
mind if l should give you one of the
roses?" and she clipped off one with
her scissors and handed it to me.
The action of the woman was 80
gentle, generous and gracious that
was surprised, and when tried to
express my thanks only stammered
and said it was fine day and looked
like rain.
Then l bethought me I was in the
land of tips and / felt in my pocket
for silver. But the woman stopped
me and said, ooh, would never take
money for a rose-but you are an
American and my brother lives in
America and perhaps you will see
him and tell him that you saw me
and the children"
. Then she gPve me her name and
her brothers name, hut he lived In
Illinois or Colorado, she could not
say which--it was surely one Of
these.
promised 20 hunt up her brother,
Then we shook hands and ] patted
her three babies on the head and
went away

and the name Of her brother, but the

red rose with the morning dew upon

Letter From Ancient Athens,

A little leaden tablet, tarnished,
ugly and otherwise trivial in appear
ance, was sent a few years ago from
Athens to the Imperial Museum of
Berlin, says an exchange. On one
side of it is some writing which only
recently was deciphered with precise
correctness by Adolph Wilhelm, an
Austrian savant who lives in Athens.
The tablet is the original of private
letter that was written about the
time of the orator Domosthenes.
The writer of the letter lived in a
rural neighborhood and wished to
send a commercial order to a town.
The form of the address was: "To
be taken to the pottery market and
to be handed to Nausias, or to
Thrasykles, or to the son" (perhaps
the son of the writer was meant .
The weekly market, to which the
Attic countrymen had gone to offer
their produce and wares for sale,
may be imagined as in progress.
There the boy who was bearer of the
letter was to find the stand or booth
of one of the three persons to whom
it was addressed and deliver it to
him. The text of the letter says:
"Mnesiergoes greets you cordially,
he greets your family with the same
esteem. Please be so kind
as to send me a mantle, either Of
sheepsllin or of goatskln, and let It
be as cheap as possible, for it does
not need to be trimmed with fur.
Send with it a pair of heavy solos
also. AS soon as I have an oppor-
tunity l will pay you"

in two volumes, selling at 5s. sewn,
6s. bound. The original edition of
Bunyans Pilgrims Progress" was
priced Is. Cd. A copy of It recently
sold at Sotheby's for $1475.
It was, the same correspondent
adds, Walter Scott whose abounding
popularity put up the price of novels.
To begin with the advance was mod
crate, "Waverley" and Guy Man
nering" sold at Is. a volume. AS an
odd volume was obviously of no use,
it meant that the purchaser paid I
guinea for the book. Scott's price
was next put up to 24s. $50. For
"Ivanhoe", 3Os. was charged, while
Quentin Durward" and later novels
were priced at a guinea and a half, a
charge maintained for eight decades.
Mrs. GeskelPs novels were issued
at that price. A short time ago her
old publishers, Smith, Elder & Co.,
issued a new edition of her works,
beautifully printed on fine paper,
handy in size, with a specially writ
ten introduction to each volume, the
whole eight costing little more than
the guinea end a half which our fore
bears paid for a single novel.

UP OR DOWN
STREAM FOR BASS

Having read a good deal pro and
con about fishing up and down
stream as pertaining to trout fishing
with the fly, am in quandry to
know If the authorities who advo-
cate upstream fishing believe in do
ing so when fishing for bass and
casting an artificial bait. 1 have
read magazine articles by men who
we're evidently authorities who still
did not seem to have any positive
views concerning this matter. One
of them confesses inability to handle
his lure properly or hook his fish IL
bait-casting upstream, saying he
prefers to cast downstream, "as the
current contributes to the control
of your bait"
1 do all my bass fishing in the
Delaware river and invariably wade,
getting most of my fish in the riffs
and in pools just below them. l
have had good success in casting up
stream when fishing a pool but not
in fishing a rift. In fishing the riffs
do best in casting across the
stream and always find it pays to
fish every likely pocket or eddy just
as carefully as l would if l were
trout fishing with the fly. More
over, l find that it pays to make
several casts for the same fish-not
all in exactly the same place but
each cast being made with view to
attracting fish which. may be lying
in a certain spot. 1 have time and
again proved to my satisfaction that
it often takes a variety of casts to
rouse a bass to action. And I have
also found that to hook a bass,
while casting upstream, you have to
watch your lure very sharply, as he
is liable to seize it when the line is
not taut and unless it is one of the
many hooked monstrosities to which
DR.. Henshall so strenuously objects
he will get off before you can strike
him. 1 generally fish with a single
hook with a spinner on the shank
and a piece of fat pork cut in the
shape of a minnow or a frog as a
bait. Once in a while l use a single
hook phantom minnow.-J. e. D.

PENSIONS FOR AGED PEOPLE
CONTINUED from Page 81

The general plan there is about as
follows Men over 65 and women
over 60 are pensioned at the rate of
$3.50 and so a week, respectively.
Restrictions pertaining to income,
residence and character surround the
application of the law most effective
ly. l am in receipt of letter from
the Amerncan Consul at Newcastle,
New South Wales, in which he says:
1T is the general opinion that these
pensions are very good thing and
that these laws are working out sat
isfactorily. In order to see for my
self the people receive their pensions,
I was present the first of this month
and saw a large number of them
paid. They appeared to be a most
respectful lot of old people, and l
feel certain the money allowed them
each month by the government is
judiciously expended
"After years of consideration Eng
land adopted an old-age pension law
in 1908. Under its provisions all
persons over 70 years Of age are PEN
sionable, if they meet the require
ments of regulations as to income,
habits and character. The amounts
paid run from 25 cents to $1.25
weekly.
Canada passed an annuity law in
1908. Under it people beyond the
age Of So years may draw from $50
to 5000 annually It is a govern
ment insurance proposition pure and
simple, and dependent upon prem
iums; but as a step, is encouraging
to every believer in the humane
policy of making provision for old
age a matter Of governmental regu-
lation."

The Nnfn RnnIr-

There is no more ruthless disturb
er of the peace than the coal cart
Not alone the tumultous thunder of
the empty cart along the paved
ways, but more especially the coal
cart disgorging its merciless maw
No doubt it was held an improve
ment when the chutes for delivering
coal were made of iron instead OF
the faster wearing wood; but as one
remembers there was almost a mel
low, soothing quality to the tone
evolved from the fall of the coal in
the old-fastioned shaft compared
with the stridor of the modern ap-
pliance.
OF all the unnecessary noises this
seems both the most unnecessary
and the severest tax on the patience
of the cliff dwellers-one would
say the fiat dwellers, flats being
chiefly notable for mounting indefi-
nitely skyward-when cart after
cart sets the echoes of the brick
bound street rafting to the avail
anche of coal. An observer, whose
ears and teeth have never grown
quite Injured to the gritty sound Of
anthracite (soft coal has twice a
saving quality, jumped for joy one
day recently when a coal cart ap~
preached the Office building with
huge bags that bulged with the dus-
ky treasure. Here at last was a hu-
name coal dealer. The bags were
plainly meant to be carried one by
one to the bin and dumped on the
unresonant pile instead of being cas-
caded across the long reach of the
sounding slides. But no; the coal
HEAVIER with grim and grimy deter
mination, plants his iron chute as
usual, and at ease in his cart empties
bag after bag down over uproarous
metal.
Here was a crushed indeed a jus
tifiable hope. Will none join a cru
sade for the suppression of cruelty
in coal beavers? With men crying
everywhere for work, the added la'
Dor of transportation would be a
boon, and would not pay Tor an eX-
ira half hour of work with every
ton-if the delivery bags involves so
much time?

1t will never forget. Why? Be
cause she had Charm of Manner, and
that is the rarest and finest thing Ir
the world.
To have Charm of Manner you dc
not have to be rich, educated moi
handsome-for certainly this woman
1 have just mentioned was neither
But she was just honest, gracious and
considerate and so natural in her
actions that she was impressive.
Once in Wanamaker's l wished to
buy a cake Of soap. The saleswoman
showed me a kind at fifteen cents a
cake, that rather liked. She told
me the price and then said, But here
is a kind that we can sell two cakes
for a quarter-you see It is little
larger cake, and while not certain, ]
believe you will like it better or just
as well-I am sure that you want
the best"
"Give me four cakes of that last, +"
1 said, and slapped down half
dollar.
l really only wanted one cake Of
soap, because 1 had forgotten to put
cake in my valise, and I would be
back home in two days anyway, but
that girls Charm of Manner caught
me. She was so gracious, so kindly
and so interested in pleasing me and
worked in such delicate little COM
pliment that, in some way, l felt as
though she had taken her scissors
and shipped off a big red rose, the
dew still on it, and handed it to me.
Not all the people in Wanamak-
ers have Charm of Manner-this
charm that is born of concentration
and consideration.
To have Charm of Manner you
must have both respect for yourself
and for the other person. Had that
Wanamaker girl been in the slight
est degree bold, it would have dissi-
pated her charm-she was simply
natural, earnest, easy, smiling, kind
ly.
At another time in Wanamaker's
was waited on by young man who
was chewing gum and talking with
a girl across the aisle about where
he had been the night before, and
how he had had such a lovely time.
He looked it.
The secret of successful saleman-
ship lies in Charm of Manner. The
person who has it is in possession of
key that will unlock all hearts
and pocketbooks.
If you have Charm of Manner
you can't keep it secret-you will
not have to ask for 'raise"-it will
gravitate to you every little while.

NAME WANTED FOR
AIR NAVIGATORS

What shall we call the men who
launch themselves into the ocean of
air and become fellow voyagers
with the birds? asks an exchange.
At present there is a multiplicity of
names to choose from-aeroplanist
aeronauts, aviators, birdmen, sky
men, sky pilots, ETC., but it remains
to be seen whether one Of these or
some happier word coinage not as
yet indicated, will come into general
and popular use. Judging from tn =
American press, the word aviator.
yelling in its Latin garb the birdllke
semblance of the new invader of the
air, seems to be the favorite.
An Englishman has proposed that,
following the analogy of seamen and
landsmen, the term airmen would he
most appropriate for the pioneers in
the new form of transit. If the ref.
erence to the bird rather than to the
air be preferred, birdmen would
seem to meet the requirements.
while skymen might be offered as
another equivalent for airmen.
AS to the machine for flying. air.
boat is naturally recommended, fol
lowing the analogy of sea vessels,
but as motorboat is already appro-
priated to water craft, suitable
parallel to steamboat is as yet lack
ing. Perhaps air motor, air motor
ist and air motoring may also be
considered as candidates for honor
in the new names demanded by a
new art and science.
In the case of the word velocipede.
familiar a few decades ago, the
mouth-filling name soon gave way to
bicycle, bike and wheel, the tend
ency to simplicity and brevity being
conspicuously evident in this case.
The evolution of words applicable to
air transit will probably show a like
tendency in response to the demand
for brevity and convenience.

You are disappointed. DO you
remember, If you lose heart about
your work, that none Of it is lost;
that the good Of every deed remains,
and breeds, and works on forever;
and all that fails and is lost is the
outside shell of the thing; which,
perhaps, might have been better
done, but, better or worse, has
nothing to do with the real spiritual

IN The ATHENS
OF The SOUTH

From the rock of the famed Aero
polls, near the storied Aegean sea.
to the delightful southern city of
Nashville, Tennessee, is a long leap
for the Imagination, historic and
otherwise. And yet Nashville,
called the Athens of the South for
it's many colleges of many sorts, has
another claim to the name in its
splendid reproduction of that glory
of ancient Athens, the Parthenon.
This is without doubt the only COM
plete reproduction and restoration
existing of the temple of Athene
Parthenos (the virgin), and was
built as the crowning beauty of the
Tennessee centennial in 1897 to be
used as an art gallery. 1t copies
the original faithfully, not only in
size and form, but so far as known
in the color decorations, which were
part of the scheme of ornament of
the Parthenon. The material used
was stucco since reinforced the total
cost being over $4,000. 1t is to be
kept permanently as an art gallery
and has a fine situation, in the CEN
ter of Centennial park, one of the
noblest public demesnes of the
South. Major E. G. Lewis was chief
promoter of this unique monument
to the taste and fostering culture of
his state. w. G. Smith was the ar
chitect, Edward Laurent a super
visor of the work.
In this connection some account
of the original temple is of interest.
It was the official temple of Pallas
at Athens (she was Minerva to the
Romans, goddess of wisdom) as pro-
tectress of the city. The Century
dictionary, in describing the begin
nings of the Anthenian hegemony
(450 B. O. Or it's rule over certain
cities, has the significant fact that
the political direction of the fedora
ton was under Pericles, while Phi
dias held "the artistic presidency"
This gives a glimpse of what art
meant in the Greece of those days.
This temple held the famous col
ossal statute of Pallas Athene, by
Phidias. She stands holding her
spear and a Victory, a serpent at her
feet. The outside frieze of the tenn
pie which is Doric in style, repre-
sents an idealized festal procession
of all Athens, magistrates, young
horsemen, girls carrying utensils,
chariots, spectators, etc. These fig
ures are in low relief, 3A feet high.
In the pediments, or the two end
spaces under the roof, are groups Of
sculpture in the round. One repre-
sents the contest of Athene with
Poseidon, ruler of the sea, for pos
session of Athens. The remaining
fragments of these wonderful fig
ures, the greatest sculpture in exist
ence as the artists hold, are among
the famous Elgin marbles in the
British museum. 1t is said that in
refinement of design and perfection
of execution this temple has never
been paralleled. The marbles were
brought to the British museum by
James Bruce, Earl of Elgin, between
1901 and 1903. These sculptures
were executed under the direction
of Phidias about 44O B. G. Among
the chief of the pediment figures in
the Elgin collection is the reclining
figure of Theseus, Iris, messenger Of
the gods with wind-blown drapery
and the group of one reclining and
two seated figures called the Three

Something That Has Not Advanced
in Price.

Apropos Of the animated con-
troversy on the price of novels, the
London correspondent of the Scots
man points out that the fashion,
established only within recent years,
of charging 6s. ($1.5O) for new
novel is a recurrence to ancient GUS
tom. In the library at the British
Museum is a slim volume published
in 1856, containing a list Of publica-
tions since the year Queen Anne came
to the throne, with their price. 1t
was then the custom to publish
novels in three volumes, and works
were priced per volume. Thus Fanny
Burneys "Evelina," published in
177S in three volumes, sold for Is.
