BOYS NOT POLISHED

and fumbled with everything. They rarely passed anything to the lady and only talked in monosyllables.
 On the other hand. French and American boys appear to be perfectly self-possessed and know the right thing to do-so a station official at Victoria said.
 The politeness of the French youth Is sometimes embarrassing. he said He is Invariably courteous and con- siderate.
 American boys. even if their man ners might be improved. are very precoctous travellers. and never at any moment do they lose their heads"
 defense of the British schoolboy was obtained from the secretary of the B. P. Boy Scouts association.
 English youths may have obtained their reputation for indifferent man ners and awkwardness simply because they are naturally shy and retiring" he said
 As soon as a boy begins to think for himself and realizes that manners maketh man. his roughness passes of and he becomes a sociable human be ing. There is no finer training for the shy. awkward boy than to join the scouts"

superior young ladies. superior board ing school. and she used 1t on this oc- oasion, Both man and bear looked at her in astonishment and shook their heads. They had never been in China They were motioned to get out of the read-to get off the face of the earth. but the man smiled. and the bear went to dancing. That settled things for the pony He had that cart tipped over and was on his way home inside of fifteen seconds. The girl went with the cart and lay in a heap by the roadside
 From a point half mile away the coming Mir Hopewell had witnessed tho accident, and he increased speed and came up like cyclone. The bear was hit and sent against the fence, and then he descended and waded in to the pirate and ran him far across the fields. It was busy day for pirate and bear. Under the strict rules of romance the young man should have gone to the rescue of the distressed damsel first of all. but he was a trifle excited and mixed things up. This gave Miss Ethel her opportunity. She had fallen on soft spot and was only jared. She smiled when the bear went flying. and she laughed as the pirate fled Sue could have got to her feet and brushed off the dust and picked up her hat-but she didn't. As soon as she saw her rescuer returning she resumed 9 recumbent position and closed her eyes Great care was talk en to make the position graceful one
 Mr Hopewell came running and breathing hard. He thought of broken bones and death. He bent over the girl and saw that she lived. and he ran to a water-hole beside the high way and wet his handkerchief and re turned 10 sop her face Miss Ethel knew that it was muddy water and full of wrigglers. but she never finched.

MATS MAKE THE HElRLOOMS
Most Cherished Possessions of the Samoans, and the Older They
 Are, the Better.

Among the curious customs of the Samoans is that of making heirlooms Of mats. By some simple process of reasoning the mat has come to be identified with the family. as the heartstone is additionally sacred among the Saxon race.
 The Samoan mats are really fine specimens of art. The people esteem them much more highly than any ar ticle of European manufacture and the older they are the more they are regarded
 Some of them have names known all over the Samoan group The old est is called Moe-e Fui-Fui or The man that slept among the creepers. It get this title by reason of the fact that il had been hidden away for years among the creeping conyolvulus that grows wild along the seashore IL Is known to be 200 years old. as the names of its owners during thai period can be traced
 The possession Of one of these oll mats gives the owner great power. in fact. il Is title deed to rank ane property. from the Samoan stand point. It Is no matter if the mats are tattered and worn out; their an tiQgity is their value and for some the most cherished Of them larg sums of money would be refused.

King Georges Comparison Stirs
 Educators and Parents.
English Youths Do Not Know How to Bow, Shake Hands, Converse, Stand or Sit In Presence
 of Their Superiors.

London.-How is 1t that some Eng fish public school boys lack the pol ished manner of continental and American boys?
 No less person than the king him self has observed this unfortunate fact, as the Bishop of Worcester point ed out at speech day celebration in Worcestershire
 The bishop gave an account of a conversation be had with the king when Duke of York.
 Why" inquired the king. do you not ask that at public schools man. ners should be taught?"
 The foreigners know when to bow, how to shake hands, to converse. to stand up or sit down In the presence Of their superiors. while the English man is wanting in these manners. When vacancies have to be filled those are the points which very often tell, and that is where the Englishman does not shine"
 Train loans of school boys were pouring Into London the other day from various parts of England. and an observer made special note of their demeanor when they met relatives and friends
 At Victoria station (Brighton iine) the platforms were crowded from time to time with homecoming school boys, who appeared to be very em- barrassed when they met loving aunts and other relatives. Some instances were as follows:
 One boy. aged about fifteen. was in troduced to his friends people Flushed deeply and fumbled with his hat. Ap- peared to be in doubt as to which hand he should use to shake hands. Had no conversation whatever. Went away abruptly, without raising hat.
 Roy about fourteen, met an aunt. Said "Hullo" without raj 'ng hat. Made no offers to do anything with his luggage. Whistled and studied bookstall while aunt arranged to get luggage in cab.
 In the station restaurant two boys were having lunch with lady friend Both were intensely self-conscious

 When GfYoni Garibaldi set out that same hour from the village Of Rose lands 10 pIod up the highway past the Willows" he was leading dancing bear The same sun shone for him and his bear-birds sang just as sweetiy for them-another crow called his best wishes after them.

 When Mf Earl Hopeweli left the house Of his brother. ten miles beyond Roselauds. to drive himself in an auto 10 the village. he also had the sun and the birds and a stray crow. and he would have wagered two to one that nothing more than bursted tire would interrupt the harmony of his spin.
 Miss Ethel's pony was veteran of eighteen years. though he still had q gait In his lifetime he had encount- cred brass bands. circus parades, wan. dertng elephants. believing bulls. labor union banners and drunken tramps He fiattered himself that he had be come blase. and that nothing could shake his nerve. The one thing he hadn't encountered was dancing bear-a grinning. shambling, ambling. shufiling bundle of fur, conducted by a gentleman patterned after the model of Captain Kidd. At sight of the pair the pony slackened his pace, and his driver began to talk to him and as sure him that there was nothing in It He might have taken the girls word for 1t. but for the strong scent that came down the wind. It was bear scent and pirate scent-a combination that would have brought chills to a horse forty years old. He stopped and reared up, Then he snorted and shied Then he decided to go back home.

Model Prison Too Popular.

Pekin.-There has been a model prison in Wuehang. but 1t has turned out to be far too expensive. Il was lighted throughout with electricity and the food given to the prisoners was better than what they got at home. SO that great many become permanent residents. So 1t has been resolved to reduce the expenditure by a considerable sum monthly. to re- move the electric lights. and to with draw a number of the jailers For food, each prisoner will in future get two bowls of coarse rice and will also provide his own clothes. Thus disappears a model prison. and the old one which 1t superseded is restor. ed Tn is stead

TAFT PAYS TENDER
TRIBUTE TO AUTHOR
Of NATIONAL HYMN
Places Wreath Upon Grave
of Francis Scott Key at
Frederick.

President Taft paid a tender tribute
yesterday to one of the homely heroes
Of Maryland, when he delayed his re-
turn to Washington long enough to 20
to the old graveyard in Frederick and
place a wreath upon the grave OF
Francis Scott Key, author of the STAR
Spangled Banner"
1t was late when the President fin-
ished his address to the Associated
Boards OF Trade of the State in the
little Frederick theater. Darkness was
settling over the Maryland hills. The
train which was to bring the party back
to Washington was waiting the signal
to leave. A, Mormon choir recital
awaited the President at, the White
Houses In spite of all this. however,
the automobile in which Mr., Taft rode
was ordered to drive to the cemetery.
When Mr.. Taft reached the tomb of
Key. now surmounted by a heroic
statue, but few people were there to re-
ceive him. Perhaps a half hundred
students of the State Deaf and Dumb
Asylum stood around with uncovered
heads as the Chief Magistrate laid the
wreath upon the grave, but there were
few others.
