FREEDOM OF THE CITY.
An Honor Which Had Ito Birth In the
Middle Ages.

An Honor Which Had Ito Birth In the
Middle Ages.
The ceremony of presenting the free
dom of the city as an honor arose in
the middle ages, when such right was
not acquired by mere domicile. No
stranger could move into O medieval
town and go Into business, his own
gatnful occupation or the civic act1vi-
ties. First he must become enrolled
In the guild Of bis trade, then he had
to undergo an apprenticeship Of full
seven years before he could be admit
ted to its livery. Then only and thus
only could he arrive at the freedom
Of his city.
As a reward for high deeds these
medieval city republics sometimes
conferred on such strangers as had
served them well the freedom Of the
city by solemn act of the burgesses
and liveries without the apprentice
ship of servitude. Every such re-
cipient Of a c1ty's freedom became at
once a burgess, free to dwell, free to
engage In trade, free to vote for the
civic rulers and to aspire to the civic
chair. The key was the visible sign
Of this freedom-the city gates, closed
at sunset against the stranger and the
foe, opened to the burgess key at all
hours, as the door of his own home
Argonaut.

One of the curious social customs
practiced by the Crow as well as by
many other Indian tribes Is the
"mother-in-Iaw taboo"-that is to say,
a man is under no circumstances per-
mitted to hold conversation with his
wife's mother. Another strange reg
ulation is that relating to the playing
of practical jokes. A man is not per-
mftted to jest with any one he pleases,
but Is limited to the individuals whose
fathers belonged to the same clan as
bis WI father. Within this group,
however, practically any liberty LIS al
lowable. If a man discovers that a
"jokable relative" has committed
some foolish or d~isgraceful act he can
publicly twit him with 1t, and the per-
son derided must not get angry, but
bide his time for some favorable op-
portunity to retaliate.-American Mu-

SMILE WHEN You LOSE.

Then Brace Up and Start Right In to
Become a Winner.
Be as good a loser as you are q win
ner-a hard task to set a man, but
not an impossible one. Many have
met It Those who have are those who
win more than they lose, for nothing
inspires success or victory like calm
ness In defeat or GOODNESS under stress.
1t is true in business, In politics, In
sports, in any sphere of competitive
endeavor.
Not only that, but nothing Is quite
as disconcerting to ones opponent in
one of LIES contests as the ability to
lose with q smile and well directed eff
fort to regain the lost, Any man who
has run a foot ace or boxed or wres-
tied or played ball knows that.
But nobody has any time for the
man who is forever lamenting his own
loss or defeat The world simply cred
its him with being what 1t terms a
Crouch" which means a poor loser,
and passes him by for a more agree
able man. Any one can be a good win
ner, but it takes a man to be a good
loser.
The philosophy of life itself teaches
that In all Of its p~recepts. Some one
has to lose. 1t may as well be you,
perhaps, so far as the good of the
world goes, as your neighbor. 1t
makes for unselfshness to keep that
in mind.-Omaha Bee.
