loo Polite.


There are many humorous anecdotes
current among his countrymen, which
Chedo Mijatoyich relates In "Servia OF
the Servians." The following neatly
illustrates the point that there are
other things more important than mere
etiquette:
Nasradln Chodja took much trouble
70 teach his pupils how TO behave po'
lltely. Among other things be taught
them always TO clap their hands and
shout, "Hayir Allah. God bless YOU'D
whenever they heard an older person
sneeze
Once the Chodja. mending something
in the open pit in his garden, slipped
and fell in. Nearly drowned in the
deep water of the pit, he called to his
pupils to bring a rope and drag him
out.
The dutiful schoolboys soon found a
rope and threw 1t down to their master,
and when he had seized 1t, began to
drag him out. Only a few feet more
and he would be out of the pit-when.
unfortunately. thoroughly wet as he
was, he sneezed
In an instant all his pupils dropped
the rope to clap their hands. shouting;
"Hayir Allah. Chodja"'
The poor Chodja fell back down to
the bottom of the pit.
"Ah, 1t serves me right" he cried. Il
ought to have taught these boys com
mon sense first and then politeness!

L. Q. C. Lamar of Mississippi, who
was one of the best story tellers of
his day. used to tell this:
In one of the small towns of the
state lived a man with a chronic de-
sire to hold office. ANY office would
do for him. He had been a candidate
for Office many times, but had always
been defeated Finally an opportu-
nifty arose for him. so 1t was thought.
An Office was to be filled by election,
for which there was no announced
candidate except this man. Under the
constitution Of the state majority of
all votes cast was required to elect.
On the evening Of the election every
one expected. of course, that this man
would be elected. His friends were
congratulatlng him that at last he had
secured an Office and were jollifying
over the event When he returned in
n crestfallen spirit his friends asked
him what the result was. He was ST.
lent for n moment and then said that
he had not been elected
How is that?" they asked There
was no other candidate against you"
That's what thought" he replied.
"but at the last minute they trotted
out fellow named Scattering and he
beat me to death. l won't run any

Harp owners who do not own a trunk

copy the compositors had to watch
carefully for bad spelling. One day
two young women went to his office
to write a letter. They borrowed the
old mans paper, his pen and ink and
asked him to let them sit at his desk
while they wrote the letter. The old
man accommodated them. and while
they were writing he busted himself

CATCHING Wild Ducks In Enaland.

A novel method Of capturing wild
ducks is used in England. On small
lakes where the ducks are apt to stop
for short time a few tame ducks are
kept as decoys, and well trained
dog and some wire netting do the rest.
The dog is trained to act like n fox,
and the wild ducks congregate in large
numbers to frighten 1t away from a
screen over which it runs back and
forth. The ducks keep up constant
quacking. and the dog retreats, being
pursued until the trapped fowl are
caught in the network, with portion
dropped over the opening to prevent
their escape. At certain seasons OF
the year thousands of wild ducks fire.

We were not made to pass in sorrow
Our brief existence here away,
For grief's cloud that on the morrow
Gives promise Of brighter day.
Bright flowers decay, gay foliage fades
Beneath November's chilly reign;
But, robed In gayer tlnts, the spring
Beholds the blushing flowers again.

OF happiness too dearly cherished
Too oft we deem that every Joy
Has with departed idols persisted.

However great our cause of sadness,

And brings again our wonted gladness
