NEW HAPPINESS CULT.

~ wealthy Cleveland philosopher
believes he has found the only true
path TO happiness and the secret Of
making people tread the path. 1t is
appreciation and showing people that
courtesy and consequent happiness
pays in dollars and cents.
Incorporation papers have been tiled
fer the Appreciation League of the
Unitel States by William Vernon
Backus, founder of the new cult, tall
Csophy, which he believes is to become
world popular
'Talosophy: The Art of Making Hap
rincss Epidemic" is the title of little
hook published by Mr.. Backus, set
ting forth the philosophy of talosophy
which is TO have every Tai report
employees IN amy vocation for courtesy
instead of discourtesy.
Every member OF the Appreciation
League is to be provided with cards
hlanked to permit filling in the name
and business address of a clerk, con-
ductor. postman, coliector-any one a.
all. Then there are spaces in which
t. place a cross after any one or all of
the words. Attentive. Cheerful. Sym
pathetic, Helpful. Courteous, and Po-
lite
'Tlte idea is to have all of our mem
bers make out and mail these cards
wherever they find an employe or 9TH
cr person who shows them courtesies,
explained Mr.. Backus. We then no.
thy the employer of this report and
keep IA complete filing record of the
name of every man condemned.
"When an employe has received three
courtesy reports he is entitled to

west side of the street, within a few
feet of the sidewalk, and was moving
slowly.

boy. who was evidently playing along
the sidewalk with sister a few years
older than himself, and who evidently
had not noticed the approaching car,
dashed from the sidewalk into the
street, directly in front of the car
Just at that time trolley car was
coming down Rines hill and the rays
from the headlight We're directly In
Mr. Burleigh's eyes, but he saw the
shadow of the boy as he dashed IN
front of his car and Immediately put
on the emergency brake, bring the
car to a stop.
The left forward mud guard of the
car struck the boy and Knocked him
to the pavement and toward the east
side of the street. Mr.. Burleigh jump
ed from the ear. and picking up the
Toy, placed him in the car, and then
hurried to the office of physician
nearby, but not finding anyone, start
ed mp the hill with the car, seeking
another physician. The car stalled,
however, because OF the gasoline Civ
ing out, Mr.. Durleigh soon secured a
team and took the boy to the office OF
another physician, where an exam
inatinn was made. as above stated.
atr. Pureigh then took the little fel-
low to his home on Columbia street.
