Got Haydn Interested.

Sir Joshua Reynolds was once com
missioned to paint a portrait of Haydn.
the celebrated composer. Haydn went
to the residence of the painter and
gave him a sitting, but soon grew
tired. Sir Joshua would not paint a
man of such genius with stupid coun-
tenance and adjourned the sitting The
same WEAKNESS and want of express
sion occurring at the next attempt, Sir
Joshua communicated the circum-
stance to the commissioning prince,
who contrived a stratagem. He sent
to the painters house a pretty Ger
man girl in the service of the queen.
Haydn took his seat for the third time,
and as soon as the conversation began
to lag a curtain rose, and the fair Ger
man addressed him in his native
tongue with a compliment Haydn, de-
lighted, overwhelmed the enchantress
with questions, his countenance recov-
cred its animation, and Sir Joshua rap
idly and successfully seized its traits

HERE'S A TIP FOR you,

Whatever we may think Of the tip
ping system. and especially the hat
rack form Of 1t, we can scarcely miss
the point of the following story:
Manley Nj. Rice was for eight years
the hatrack attendant at the Hote
jefferson in st. Louis. He started
/ with nothing. received no salary and
yet amassed sufficient fortune to buy
a hotel Of bis own. Tips did It. The
| secret of his success was that he al
ways had smile whether he received
a tip or not
Here is his philosophy told in his
own words:
Always look pleasant and have a smile
for the guest whether he tips you or not.
A sneer or a sarcastic word never helps,
but always hurts your business. IL you
are beneficiary Of the tipping system
you ought to bear this in mind and look
and act accordingly. Don't. expect tips
from the big men. They are too busy with
big affairs to think about the pittance for
service.
This Ii a tip for you and it doesn't
cost you cent: Be pleasant whether
your smiles bring q response or other
wise.
Even II you do not approve of tips
generally you must admit that this tip
Is good.
And this is true whether you work
for yourself or work for another,
whether you sell calico or sell houses,
whether you run farm or run for Of.
fee. whether you cut hay or cut cou-
pOns.
A smile is the minted gold of good
nature. and It brings in other kinds of
minted gold.
Like attracts like. Good humor at.
tracts good coin.
A smile Is the hallmark of success
just as crouch is the outward sign
Of failure.
In the long run we get only II we
give. The hat boy gave sunshine and

tached.
He gave pleasant looks and got a
hotel. Quite good investment! he
deposited his smiles in the bank OF
human hearts and drew interest on
| the deposit.
| Now he has hatrack concessions to
hand out to some other boy who may
| smile his way into the proprietorship
| of hotel.
Kindness is good thing whether il
brings return or not. 1t oils the
bearings of life and makes the wheels
run smoothly
1t is the Golden Rule In action.

not always fitting that we raise flags

maintain our poise and not become a
small edition of panic.
Suppose we have made a misstate-

Suppose we have gone into the

We can at least stand by our guns and
have the business closed up In the
best possible fashion.

A SYMPTOM AND THE DISEASE.

Frank Moss assistant district attor-
ney of New York county, says that the
police graft which has been exposed in
the metropolis is but a. symptom of
graft in big business.
According to Mr. Moss, the little
"coppers' see the way the millionaires
do it and initiate them on petty
scale
This is general indictment of the
whole people.
Is graft the symptom of a disease
that affects the general body polite?
Do we as individuals or as nation
condone dishonesty?
There is one remark often heard that
would make 1t seem that we do.
