Miss Ada Hayes, a blonde lass from
Quincy, accompanied by her mother,
we're Keokuk visitors yesterday, and

the girl and her mother thought the

Young Miss Hayes came to Keokuk
ZONE time ago to visit friend, one
Harry Penoite, who works for the
Water Power people. When Miss
Hayes came to Keokuk she brought
her let dog with her. When the girls
parents learned she was in Keokuk
they sent for her to come home, but
when she returned to Quincy she
could not take the dog with her. She
made arrangements with Benoite to
freight the dog back to his mistress.
This freighting was not done ana
was responsible for the trip here yes

LOS ANGELES, Calf. July 15.--Ars

MANNERS WAIT ON LEISURE
Modern Day Dlscourtesy Seemingly
the Result Of the Universal
HRush."

The young lady who described a
burglar the other day as a 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. 1t 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 IL" and subway trains in
New York, the people who rode in the
crosstown horse cars-relics of an cas-
Ter decade-haye been practicing a
politeness which, by contrast with the
boorishness so 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.
