VARIOUS KINDS OF COURAGE
Individuality Among Lower Animals as Marked as It Is Among
 Human Beings.

q believe that there are as many mals as among men," said John Trainor of Richmond, Va.
 There are men who can wade into a crowd of husky opponents, and, as long as fists are the weapons, fight to the last gasp. Some of these same men may dodge around the corner as soon as revolver shows up. On the other hand, gun fighter, de- prived of his weapon, may get out of the way speedily before the fists of an angry enemy.
 There is just about the same sort of difference between the courage dis played by a possum and a coon. I've just come back from little hunting trip in the mountains of Virginia, and 1 heard more than one story which proved this assertion. When a pos sum is treed or 'denned' he never pre-. tends to show fight, He just hugs the limb .and calmly waits for one Of the hunters to climb up the tree or into the den and pull him out. Of course, he will bite if he is not seized behind the neck, but he never puts ID q fight.
 = Now, a coon is one of the hastiest customers for a pack of dogs to han dlc that you can readily find He is game to the core, and many valu- able coon dog has passed away as a result of one of these encounters. First of all, when he finds tho dogs on his trail he VII try to escape. But when he is eornered there is bound to be some trouble for a dog or two Of the pack
 "The peculiar feature. though, is that q possuln can whip coon with put 1al trying. The coon is afraid of the possum and gives him a wide berth They tell stories down there in the mountains to the effect that a econ. worsted in a fight with a pos sum. has fought off a pack of dogs and that this same pack has then traed the possum, who allowed him. self to be captured without 6 struggle \ rossum has econ courage but nc dog courage. I don't pretend to un. derstand the reason for these traits, but I am sure of the facts

FE7lLS OF -P0LlTENESS
According to This, Sudden Changes Are Things That It Is We'll
 to Avoid.

Following is an extract from lee ture delivered recently at the Battle Creek sanatorium by Horace Fletcher:
 "Never have a scrap at the table; never discuss bills at the table; never argue politics, religion, or the suf frage movement, because it is inimicai to digestion. What you should do is to prepare yourself to pass compli- ments across the table, for that is the best sauce for digestion.
 One of the comic papers in New York the other day, in commenting upon this assertion of mine, made a series of pictures in which the hus. band had come down all prepared to make a change in his demeanor at these times. He had been surly man, who took his newspaper to the table, bolted his meal, and was off to his work. But now he had conclud- ed to reform; so he came down all smiles, and as he sat at the table, he began to say: Mother, I never saw you looking better than you do this morning And she looked at him. 1t was such a surprise she did not know what he was going to say next. Then he took some food, and he said: How perfectly delicious; it seems as if l never tasted anything quite so good in all my life Then her wonder was excited more and more. He made only one other break in this direction, when she picked up a chicken leg and threw it at him, saying: q will teach you to be sarcastic in my pres ence.'"

 The thirteenth annual gathering of the Federation at Conway, deservedly called the Athens of Arkansas, will be remembered as one of supreme incident, in the history of the A. F. w. c.
 From the welcoming speech until the last goodbye died away in the distance there was one ovation of scourtesies and good will The occas- ion was genuinely meritorious, for Mrs. Phillip Moore, president of the General Federation, was guest, and if delegates were attracted because of it being the annual gathering, they were also attracted because of person al interest in Mrs, Moore, as repre- sentative woman and as general pres ident, realizing the full significance of both.
 Aside from the generous enthusi- asm that continued to bubble, was our introduction to Conways educational interests, to her educational spirit, to which her high school and colleges stand as a memorial Conway may be proud of having executed a royal duty in a royal manner. May her cit izens continue to prosper and pro- gress until her dreams become beauti- ful realities. Yours,

ARRANGE LYCEUM COURSE
CONWAY SCHOOLS COMBINE TO SECURE HIGH-GRADE
 TALENT.

On account of the large college contingent that has made possible high grade entertainment, Conway has become more critical and demands better attractions than most towns. The school people have recognized this fact and are preparing to meet it. Hendrix, Central, the Normal and the public school have united 'nso what is knelm as the Conway Lycedm Course and purpose putting on one course of six numbers in which there shali be none but lyceum stars-at- fractions of national reputation. Thus far they have settled on Edward Seton-T Thompson, the greatest natur- alist in the world, the Carico Orches- tra, the Eureka Glee Club, Fred Elm erson Brooks, and with possibly one exception-Dr Russell Conwell-the greatest platform orator before the American public today, Dr. Grant of California. One or two other num- bers will be secured when suitable material is found. This will be with out any doubt the strongest and most expensive course in the state. We be- lieve the Athens of Arkansas" can appreciate this talent and will sup port the movement.
