DEFINITION OF GOOD MANNERS
No Writer Has Made a Clearer State
nnent Of Them Than Thomas
Nelson Page.

Manners, familiarly known as the
plural of manner, signify, in general,
good behavior and polite department.
In conforming to the usages of eti
quette thus recognized, one need not
copy the example of Lord Chester
field, whose ambition was to be re-
garded as the worthiest man In Eng
land, as q mirror of politeness in the
eighteenth century. Nor would any
true American care to be aping Beau
Brummell, later In the Same century,
famous as O leader of fashionable So
ciety In London, where he was born,
but died, at the age of sixty-two, as
an imbecile in confienment at a
French asylum. One is apt to think
of the Scottish physician, John Brown,
for his happy way of utilizing spare
hours in association with his collie
"Rab" and friends. But the good doc
tors canine fellowship still left room
in his heart to utter this terrible SEN
timent: Etiquette, with all it's Bit
terness and niceties, is founded upon
a central idea of right and wrong"
One more quotation shall suffice, and
1t is this from the pen of Thomas Mel
son Page: whatsoever it's form may
be, and there are many forms in
which good breeding may present it.
self, so many indeed as are the Incl
dents of social intercourse, whatever
tends to put at ease the person one
meets is good manners, and whatever
tends to the opposite is rudeness."

We want to thank you, Marie, for

COULD ESTIMATE THE WHOLE
Witness, Forced to Admit Lack Of

Telling Point.

A we'll known architect was sum-
moned as a witness in Long Island
court in suit over the cost of build
ing. The lawyer whose duty it was
to cross. examine started in to attack
the credibility of the witness

these bricks cost?"
Il do not
DO you know how much this
cement cost per bag?"
No"
do you know how expensive sand
is down here?'
Il can't say that / do exactly"
The lawyer looked at the witness
with fine scorn.
And yet you pretend to come here
and qualify as an expert! How can
you give any kind Of an opinion on
how much this building ought to have
cost when you don't know the prices
Of the material it's made Off"
The witness looked at the lawyer
with flash in his eye that BODIED ILL
Well" he said, II don't know the

Too Much AthIetlclsm.

"As guardians of the public health.
1t Is time for us to make stand
against this athletic craze" writes a
medical correspondent. THE swing
ing of ponderous clubs and dumbbells,
rowing heavy machines, pulling up
weights, walking Is or 20 miles a day
chasing a golf ball, ETC., are needless
and injurious to anyone. AS physi-
clans, we prescribe moderate exercise
for Emphatic and obese patients Of
torpid temperament, and a few indi-
Gated movements to straighten up a
DETECTED spine or round shoulders,
etc, but we are careful to guard
against fatigue Such exercise Is a
very different thing from the severe
and senseless efforts required by
teachers in gymnastics and exercise
fiends
'If people would live long and
healthy" says the correspondent,
they should take their exercise under
the advice of a common-sense physi-
clan. The wrenching of muscles, ten
dons, ligaments, joints, nerves and
bloodvessels," he proceeds, ''is giving
us all kinds of puzzling conditions,
traumatic neuroses, dislocated Wis
cera, etc, traceable to overexercise, If
we only knew where to look for it. "

Had Two Good Reasons.

Upton Sinclair said the other day
in New York:
Everybody is jumping up and say.
ing that poverty, bitter and grinding
poverty, has nothing to do with
making girls go wrong. Well, for
my part, / think that such assertions
are too charitable toward modern
social conditions, too charitable to-
ward modern employers.
Such charity reminds me of the
young lady who asked:
did pretty Tottie Footlites marry
the septuagenarian Gobsa Golde for
love or money!
"'For both, the young lady an
swered charitably, and she added,
Lottie loves money, you know"

Little Demand for Leeches

French leeches was the marshes
around Bordeaux. A poor peasant
named Bechade was the creator of
the industry. He rented a tract of
marsh land for about $50, and this,
when properly stocked with leeches,
became worth $4,000
Bechade collected the leeches by
buying all the worn out horses he
could get hold of and driving them
into the marshes five or six times
q month. especially in April, May,
June, October and November. Be-
chade's business f1ourished, and when
he died he was worth 100000.
After while the French leech
trade was ruined, not only on account
of the great decline in the demand,
but ON account of the accessibility OF
other sources of supply brought about
by the improved facilities of trans
port, fast trains bringing them in a
short time from Turkey, Bohemia and
Dalmatia. and to more limited ex-
tent from Algeria aad Russia-~~Nedi-

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Spirit OF The Ancient Wood.

The Spirit OF the Ancient Wood.
Agatha's first thought on awakening
late in the forenoon, was the memory
of Sallie Kingshury coaxing her to
bed and tuclxing her in, in the purple
light of the early morning. She re-
membered the attention with pleasure
and gratitude, as another blessing
added to the greater one of James
Hambletons turn toward recovery.
Sallie's act was mute testimony that
Agatha was, in truth, heir to Hercu-
les Thayers estate, spiritual and mate
rial.
She summoned Lizzie, and while she
was dressing, laid out directions for
the day. During her short stay in
Ilion, Lizzie had been diligent enough
in gathering items of information, but
nevertheless she had remained oblivi-
Gus of any impending crisis during the
night. Her pompadour was marcelled
as accurately as if she were expect
ing a morning call from Mr.. Straker.
No rustlings of the wings of the
Angel of Death had disturbed her
sleep. In fact, Lizzie would have
winked knowingly if his visit had
been announced to her. Her sophisti-
cation had banished such supersti-
tons. She noticed, however, that
Agatha's candles had burned to their
sockets, and inquired if Miss Red
mond had been wakeful.
"Mr. Hambleton was very ILL., Every
body in the house was UP till near
morning." replied Agatha rather
tartly.
ooh, what a pity! Could have
done anything? I never heard a
sound" cried Lizzie effusively.
mo, there was nothing you could
have DONE" said Agatha.

Redmond, staying up all night" went

answered. 1t occurred to Lizzie that
possibly she had allied herself with a
mistress who was foolish enough to
ruin her public career by private fol
lies, such as worrying about sick peo
pie. Heaven, in Lizzies eyes, was the
glare of publicity; and since she was
unable to shine in 1t herself, she loved
