Requlus a Roman Hero,

Regulus is counted as one of the
great heroes of the old Roman empire.
He was in command of an army that
made an unsuccessful attempt to cap
ture Carthage in Africa. The Car
thaginians killed many of the Romans
and took the rest prisoners. Among
the captives was Regulus, the com
mander
Now it happened that the Romans
held several Carthaginians in captivity
as well, so the leaders in Carthage Of
fered to give Regulus his freedom If
Rome would free their generals. The
Romans were willing, but Regulus, the
one for whom the trade was being
made, counseled otherwise. He ad-
vised his people to hold fast to the
Carthaginians and let Carthage do its
worst to him, because the Carthagin-
ian captives Rome held, Regulus said,
were worth more than he was. He
died brave mans death.

MANNERS WAIT ON LEISURE
Modern Day Discourtesy Seemingly
the Result of the Universal
Crush"

The young lady who described a
burglar the other day as perfect
gentleman" wasn't very far wrong.
For burglars are among the few per-
sons who can afford the time to be
perfect gentlemen.
Gentle manners have had their high
est development in periods when time
was of smallest Importance. The
elaborate code of the French courts
was the substance of ease. It was
bred with the care which only leisure
can provide. The. gallantry of the
ante-bellum South was as famous as
the ante-bellum hospitality. The one
cost nothing of time as the other cost
nothing in effort. While people have
been struggling and humping and
showing in 81" and subway trains in
New York, the people who rode in the
crosstown horse cars-relics Of an cas-
Ter decade-have been practicing a
politeness which, by contrast with the
boorishness 80 painfully evident else
where, was touching and exquisite.
The patrons Of the horse cars were
those with time to spare.
The rush of modern American life is
not an excuse for bad manners. But
1t Is an explanation. We cannot preach
economy Of time without forcing
economies in other things-and among
these are thoughtfulness and consider
alton.

Fill Mines with Sand.

The owners of many mines in Eur.
ope and Australia fill the abandoned
workings with sand, so that the mines
may become once more a part Of the
solid crust of the earth. Old, worked.
out mines are often menace to build
ings or communities above them; and
protection by timbering. which is the
American method, affords security for
no great length of time. Sand filling
has been practiced in the mines OF
western Australia for the last four.
teen years. w. H. Storms, writing
in the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. says that the cost In Australia is
about 20 cents for each ton of ore ex.
tracted.

THRIFT OF OZARK COUPLE
Took Matter Of Presente into Their
Own s1ands on Silver Wedding
Anniversary.

Everyone who has got several gifts
exactly alike will appreciate the
shrewdness OF this Ozark couple who.
in the matter of presents, took things
into their own hands.
"Speakin' of being thirsty" said Hi
Buck, reckon Cy WATSON and his
wife, that came here from Iowa, about

"How's thate" asked the stranger
who was waiting in front OF the black
smith shop while his horse was being
shod.
We'll, you see Cy and Mirandy
wanted to celebrate their silver wed,
ding. They had never celebrated any
anniversary before because, as Miriam
dy told nay wife, the silver wedding
was the first one where the presents
would be worth more than the
victuals
Even then they worried a good deal
for fear everybody would bring pickle
forks or butter knives. But after a
while they hit on an idea that worked
first rate.
They wrote at the bottom of the
Invitations, asking the folks not to buy
presents until they got there, for the
jeweler from Buckeye Bridge would
be in the yard with full line OF sill
verware, and no two pieces alike"
That was clever" said the stran-
ger picked out their own presents,

Cat Fond of Euus

The owner of clever cat writes to
Our Dumb Animals that the pet, "a
great, fat, lazy, good natured fellow"
has fondness for eggs. Sir Tom was
detected in the kitchen recently on a
table watching an unopened bag OF
eggs. stepping back noiselessly,"
writes the owner, we saw him eau
tiously tear the bag with his teeth
and claws, stopping every little bit to
listen. Finally the opening was large
enough for him to get out an egg by
gentle little pats. He held the egg
in his mouth, jumped to the floor
rolled his prize about gently until he
got 1t into position, and then bumped
it against the table leg until it broke
Then he enjoyed his feast" The writer
wonders where Tom got the taste, as
he is and "his ancestors for genera
tons back were city bred"

TWAIN AND THE OFFICE BOY
How the Late Humorist Rebuked by
His Wit an Officious
Youth.

Mark Twain did not cherish fond
ness for the average Office boy He
had an idea that the genius was in.
sufferable, and invariably when the
humorist sailed forth into some bust
ness office there was immediate
armed hostility between him and the
boy.
One day Mark went to see friend
at his office, and the Office boy on
guard, in icy tones, said:
Whom do you wish to see?"
Mark mentioned his friends name.
What do you want to see him
about?" came next from the boy.
Mark Twain Immediately froze up
and then with a genial smile he said !:
Tell him, please, want to ask his
hand in holy matrimony"

Almost Paradise on Earth.

Mrs. Mary Gaunt, an Englishwom-
an who recently penetrated to the in
terror Of West Africa, reports that she
found something in the nature of para
disc in that supposedly benighted re-
gion. For example, she states that
cruelty to children is unknown among
the natives and that poverty, as We
know it, is nonexistent. Even the
women, chronic malcontents for the
themselves civilized, find nothing to
complain of in this African paradise.
Every woman. says Mrs. Gaunt. may
be described as leading a comfortable
and happy life.

Swat the Ely.

The Washington board Of health has
issued an appeal which seems to have
more than local application. Swat
the fly early!" 1t urges, and though
the sentiment might be more elegant
ly expressed, it nevertheless has the
merit Of clearly conveying it's mean
ing. BY way of explanation, it is
added that one female fly, making her
appearance as late as April 10, may
by the middle of September have be-
come the ancestress of nine genera
lions, totaling 100000 descendants.

barrass the most hos pitable family.
