 Any one of tact and common sense can go as he pIeases through the dark est corner of Appalachia without being molested, says a writer in Outing. Tact, however. implies the will and the insight to put yourself truly in the other mans place. Imagine yourself born, bred. scircumstanced like him. It implies also the courtesy of doing as you would be done by if you were in that fellows shoes-no arrogance, no condescension, but man to man on a footing of equal manliness.
 And there are manners in the rud- est unity-customs and rules of conduct that it is well to learn before one goes far afie1d. For example, when you stop at a mountain cabin if no dogs sound an alarm do not walk up to the door and knock You are expected to call out "HelloY' until some one comes out to inspect you.
 None but the most intimate neigh bors neglect this usage. and there is mighty good reason back of it in a land where the path to one's door may be a warpath.-New York Herald.

Hun+ino Hat.

A woman cannot stick hat on her head as you stick stamp on a letter.
 There is an ingenious machine that sticks stamps on letters at the rate Of several thousand an hour But nobody
 has invented a machine for sticking hats on the heads of women. A man can buy a hat in five minutes, but no woman would dream of buying a hat in less than an hour. Often woman will acquire a splitting headache fin the attempt to find one hat to suit her out of a hundred, and not seldom she carries away the headache with out a hat on it. The hat hunt is only a small part of the daily agony of shop ping, and yet many a man would rath- CT cut his throat than engage in a hat hunt as a dispassionate sDectator. Men

ANOTHER WESTPORT
 BRIDGE GOES WRONG
Bridge Street Bridge, saugatuck, Weakens As Two Trolley Cars Pass Over-Chfcken Thieves
 HnstIing.
(By Our Special correspondent.)

(By Our Special Correspondent.)
 Westport, July 16.-Those Westport bridges can't help being talked about. Like the once popular melody which had words to the effect that "every little movement has a meaning all it's own,'' the bridges of this town get themselves talked about by having little mishaps all their own. The State street bridge has been having the spot light altogether too long. Standing aside for awhile let the Bridge street bridge occupy the first row of the cho- rus. For a long while 1t has been known that the Bridge street bridge was not strong as it might be, yet it was believed to be sufficiently re- liable to carry all burdens that might pass over 1t. It was left to an inno- cent picnic party from Norwa1k to es- tabIish the fact that the bridge needs strength ening and that not many days off. Two small trolley car loads of youngsters from a Norwalk Sunday School went to Compo beach yesterday morning. Unfortunately both cars went upon the draw at the same time. There was a tearing and grinding when part of the underpining gave way, while the bridge seemed to sink under the heavy strain. An exarnin ation showed that part of the main supports had weakened and that in several instances heavy joists had split.
 There is no doubt but that the too heavy load of two well filled trolley cars was too much for the structure. We'll filled cars had passed over the span on many occasions but nothing was thought Of it until the mishap of yesterday. Had one at a time passed over the bridge instead of the two as yesterday the residents of the town would never know for some time that instead of one junk heap, the State street bridge, they now have two on their hands.
 TrolIeymen discussing the bridge yesterday stated that they had known for some time that the bridge was weak, and that they had perceived a noticeable sinking of the draw when a car passed over it. They were not sur rprised when they learned that there was a give away" somewhere follow ing a heavy load. It is probable that some action will be taken by the Board of Se1ectmen such as the clos ing of the span as at the State Street structure.

In rnore than one instance the total loss has been estimated at more than half a hundred chickens. The thieves, they must have regu- lar schedule, do make an entire sweep at one place. They seem content to take about half dozen of the stock at a time. If they make a number of visits it can be seen that the to- tals make up a good figure.

COLLEGIATE Manners.

When Edith Wynn Matthison first
played "Everyman" at Princeton uni
versity, it was discovered that the
stage of Alexander hall, in which she
appeared, had a mosaic floor, which
made it impossible for the stage car
penter to cut a trap door beneath the
grave into which Everyman descends
at the end of the performance. Con-
sequenty Miss Matthison had to
crouch beneath the raised platform,
from which she descends, until the
audience had departed. On the first
night the students, realizing this,
waited at the close of the play to see
the resurrection Of Everyman.
Miss Matthison refused to destroy
the illusion Of Everyman's deathaRm..
such an informal reappearnnce
stage manager was at his wits end,
when it was suggested that the lights
of the hall be put out while Everyman
made good his escape.
That was done, but at the critical
moment every student in the hall
struck match, and by the illumina-
ton of thousands of these miniature
torches President Woodrow Wilson
and the faculty were able to see this
sequel to "Everyman."

WHEN BOY NEEDS SYMPATHY

Sneaking of the troubles of an aWk-
ward bow. DR.. Edwin II. Hughes OF De
PAW university says in Mothers

"The boy is in a constant state OF
fitting moods. In the morning ne De-
lieyes. and believes tremendously that
his father is the finest man to be founu
anywhere, and in the evening he
knows without a doubt that there
never was a meaner man on the race
of the earth than that same father.
"In the morning he adores his
mother with all the ardor of a boys
heart, and believes that there is no
throne so lofty as to be beyond her
worth, and in the evening, when he
has been refused, maybe, a second
piece of pie at the dinner table, ne
knows that there never was more
tyrannical being.
"And if he is a normal boy he is not
fond of books, and he goes to school
largely because his father pushes him
from home and the schoolmaster pubs
him into school.
"Now, what the boy needs at this
time is adroit sympathy. IL you are
at some social gathering and you see
some boy standing off by the door sur
fering like modern martyr, go to him
and make him forget that he has
hands, feet, collar that chokes him,
clothes that are too big for him, and
for just minute let him be a human
being.
HE may also need an appeal to MS
self-respect at this period. We do not
have the one-thousandth part OF the
self-respect that we ought to nave.
And the boy at this time needs to have
real tribute paid to his personality SO
that he will feel that, after all, he IS
somebody in the world.
"The man-conscious age is when the
boy seeks companions and he reads
books, and the chances are that he
will get hold of a bad book. Unless
you get him a good book to take the
place of the one that he has, he is
more than likely to get worse book
1t is the same with respect to his COM
panions. You can never reform a boy
