Fortes fortuna juvat,'' fortune
favors the brave is an old Latin pro-
verb which is applicable to many
incidents in the tide of human affairs
today. Take, for instance, the man
whose business has been shrinking
for years and although he is con-
scious that it is running down, he
has not the moral courage to look
things squarely in the face to find
the diseased spot and apply the knife.
He simply palliates the conditions,
hoping against hope that affairs will
change or that something will, turn
up to improve them.
Very often the main trouble lies
in the fact that he has some inefficient
heads of departments who have been
with him for long time and upon
whom he has depended and he can
not bear to discharge them, although
he really believes they are a detri-
ment to his business.
Heslacks courage to take radical
measures to stop several leaks in his
establishment because he cannot bear

Abe had been delivering himself
of his daily truisms for about two
weeks, when the managing editor
decided that whatever Abe's success
as philosopher or wit, he wasn't
much as circulation getter and he
would have to get out of the paper.
Some of the members of the staff
with keener appreciation of Abe's
humor than was possessed by the
editor, interceded, with the result
that the feature was allowed to run
on for another couple of weeks. On
particularly blue Monday morning
the editor was riding down to his
Office on the back of street car, bust
~ engaged in making a mental sur
vey of his paper to find where lit

membered Abe Martin, and slated
the feature for the official axe. He

IT BEGINS TO LOOK as if the House of Lords in
England will be remodelled and many changes effect

Lords and pronounce useless branch Of the English
governmental system. If proposition had been made

One therefore naturally inquiries: What has been
the of this great upheava in English sentiment?
The principal trouble has been due to taxation
placing all of the burdens of the Government upon the
wageearners, producers artisans and manufacturers
and allowing the dear Lords hold estates prac-
tically WITHOUT TAXATION.

along from year to year, knowing
that he is not only making no profits,
but is constantly running behind. In
other words, he seems to have be-
come paralyzed at his situation, sim
ply because he has not the heart or
courage to take drastic measures to
set his business right.
There are multitudes of business
men in similar positions. Many of
them have artistic temperaments, SEN
sitive natures. They dislike and try
to avoid trouble or discord anywhere
and they will do almost anything to
keep peace and harmony, even when
they know that things are going on
which are seriously injuring their
business.

Then again there is the most af-
fable and most agreeable business

drifting toward bankruptcy for years
perhaps until he now realizes that
he is standing on the brink of failure;
but he still meets his friends as bland
~ and is as gracious as ever toward
his employees, all of whom know he

wake him up from his lethargy; he
seems helpless to take the initiative
of going to the bottom of his affairs,
and adopting heroic measures for
necessary relief.

reflections.

Someone has aptly described con-
versation in America as duet in
opera, in which two persons engaged
in it are talking to an imaginary
third person, each recounting tale
of his own. I say something and
you say something else, and we will
agree to call it conversation
Now In Turkey there are several
forms of conversation, any violation
OF which is considered an outrage,
and the sum of which constitutes
their code of politeness as applied to
conversation. Some of the rules in
Turkish conversation are as follows:
1. Never to interrupt the speaker
while he is talking. However long
winded and uninteresting his con-
versation may be to you, politeness
requires that you should wait for his
conclusion. You are not under an
obligation to enter into conversation
with him at all, but if you do it is an
understood condition of your con-
versational treaty that you should
let him have his way.
2. Never to diverge, in the mid
die of a conversation, from the main
thread of discourse into collateral
issue. The breach of this rule is
considered by Turk as an unpar-
donable rudeness. To drive red
herring, as it were, across the scent
of conversation is, in his opinion, to
confound all thought and render all
profitable consecutive conversation
impossible.
3. To allow short, but sufficient
pause between the conclusion of a
discussion on one subject and the
entering on new subject.
4. Never tell a person thing he
knows already.
5. Not to excuse ones self when
convicted of being in the wrong.
How very seldom you hear in Ameri-
ca: Yes, / was in the wrong; am
sorry for it, But in Turkey it is
considered violation of principle
and a breach of politeness to refuse
to be convicted of error. The cause
Of this Indifference lies deep in the
character of the two races; in the
absence on the part of the Turk of
petty vanity and distracting self
esteem. The proudest race in the
world, they are entirely exempt from
vanity.
6. When you have nothing to
say, to hold your tongue. They
never talk for the sake of talking.
Empty. idle jabbering is a Frank
but not an Ottoman practise. In
Europe and America it is considered
ed de. rigeur to say something .
whether that something is worth say
ing or not. Not so in Turkey; to
say something when you have moth
ing to say worth saying is considered
degradation to yourself and rude
ness to your neighbor.
Those who have listened to the
noisy gatherings of Europeans in
the smokingroom of a steamship, for
example, have often wished that such
code could become enacted into
law.

The Unfit.

Pray, who are these that lie so still
On the soft bosom of the hill?
Above them no proud marble sheen
Whose epitaph their virtues preen.
What storms they knew, forgot in calm;
Mid airs made soft by Summers balm.
Above them bends, maternal wise,
The benediction of the skies.
Yea, who are these that lie so still
On the soft bosom of the hill?
Though war alarms, nor love denies,
Say. who are these with closed eyes?
Speak lower, friend, did We not know
We sleep but i'll, who suffered so?
We ever lost-in love or strife
The broken on the Wheel of Life?
| We gladly hid the lowered spear,
| The useless lutte, forever here.
Your voice, as from the long ago,
Brings back to us our grief and woe.
Almost you stir our hearts of dust
| To memories of war and lust
Pass on, we pray you, let us rest
Supine upon the hills soft breast.

Death and Snuff.

A certain Margaret Wilson Of West
minister, who was an invetcrate snuff
taker, cnioined that a quantity of
Scotch snun should be placed in her
coffin. She also ordered that the ar
rangements connected with her funer-
al should be as follows: six men to
be my bearers who are known to be
the greatest snuff takers in the parish
of St James. Westminster. Instead Of
mourning, each to wear snuff colored
beaver hat, which | desire may be
bought for the purpose and given to
them. Six maidens Of my old ac-
quaintance to bear my pail, each to
carry a box filed with the best Scotch
snuff, to take for their refreshment
as they go along" Snuff was also TO
be thrown on the threshold of de-
ce2sed's dwelling before the cortege
passed out. snuff was to be strewn on
the ground at every twenty yards in
advance of the coffin, and the officiat-
ing clergyman's fee was to be proper
tionate to the quantity of snuff he
consumed during the ceremony.-Lon-

What the Peruvians Believed.

A unique idea of the future state
was that of the ancient Peruvians.
AS the disembodied soul winged its
way to eternity it encountered two
rocks. upon one of which it must
needs rest The choice was deter
mined by the morality of the life in
the flesh. If it rested upon the left
hand rock 1t was instantly translated
to 'Po." or oblivion. state analogous
to the Nirvana of the orient. If
through early misdeeds however the
unhappy spirit was guided to the right
hand rock 1t entered into a purga-
torial hell where fends grated away
the flesh from all the bones in sue
cession. after which the skeleton was
reclothed and sent back to earth for
another try. There was no haste
about this grating process. 1t took
something over 10000 years.
