Manners Purify or Corrupt
Nothing Adds More to the Charm Of
Life Than GraciOusness; Each
Person Is an Example.
~ AIra Frank Learned -

The only safety IN manners depends
on avoiding the first steps away from

Instead Of being satisfied with not
having very rude manners we must
take a positive and not a negative way
and try to make definite progress to-
ward true courtesy and graciOusness-
Instead of letting ourselves slacken we
should set a higher mark and add
something to the quality Of our every
day manners. If the ideal of the
beauty of courtesy prevailed in social
life, home life and in the business
world, there would be pleasure and
harmony in our relationships with
people.
Nothing adds more to the charm of
life than graciOusness- Rough blunt
ness is never a valuable possession.
People who are unattractive are self
asserting, conceited, insOlent, stub
born. They insist on having their own
way and never make concessions

M'CARTY NOT DRUGGED
SAYS HIS MANAGER.

Calgary, June 21.-The crown hav-
ing concluded its case against Arthur
Pelkey, charged with manslaughter,
following the death of the pugilist,
Luther McCarty, the defense present
ed its case before Chief Justice Har-
vey. The defense, it is said, will seek
to discredit the evidence of the medi-
cal experts called for the prosecution.
The trial may close late today.
Testimony to show that McCarty
did not take drugs in any form be-
fore entering the contest with Pelky,
May "a, was introduced by the de-
tense after the crown had rested its
case. William Mccartney, McCarty's
maneger, on the stand reiterated his
former declaration that his fighter had
not touched any drugs.
Whether the affair of May "a was a
prize fight or merely boxing bout
caused lively tilt between the coun-
sci for the crown and the defense
counsel. During this somewhat ex-
tended debate the jury was excluded
from the room. Chief Justice Harvey
made no ruling, but refused to grant
the plea Of Attorney Smith that the
case be taken from the jury.
The jury was recalled this after
noon and the defense witnesses began
testifying.

TWIN BABIES BORN IN AUTO.

Bismarck, N. D., June 21.-Mr. and
Mrs. e. j. Wells, living south of Hens
Ter, had racking experience on the
way to this city in an automobile, the
result of which was the birth of two
children before arriving in the city.
Mrs. Wells, being in delicate con-
dition, started with her husband, in
an auto driven by Fred Schofeld. They
crossed the river on the ferry at Wash
burn and started for Bismarck. The
roads were not the best, the distance
was long, and Mrs. Wells was feeling
miserable. When about two miles
this side Of Baldwin a baby girl was
born. They proceeded on the trip and
after covering about two miles an
other stop was made, and a baby boy
was born. They then rushed on to
town. Arriving at the Bismarck hos
pital it was found that the baby boy
was dead, though the baby girl was
in good condition. The mother was
made as comfortable as possible, and
Mr.. Wells has left for home where he
will bury the dead infant. Some idea
of the run that was made may be OBJ
tanned when it is considered that, in
