The Little King of Rome
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

The little fellow was made
Duke Of Reichstadt by his royal
grandfather, and around the Aus
trian house the juvenile King
without a kingdom had a good,
easy time until he was finally re-
lieved Of the mockeries by diph-
liberia few weeks after he had
reached his twenty first year.
There are those who firmly be-
lieve that the world rests not OF
Gravitation, but on the Moral
Law, and these feel that, sorrow
ful as the experience Of the King
OF Rome was. II was, down at
bottom, in strict keeping with the
old Eternal Law of Right. Ma

not care FIG for the Austrian
woman; and vet he east aside the

might have a son by The Woman

should perpetuate his blood

The Ideal Girl and Manners in Public
By MRS. FRANK LEARNED,
Author of 1.-THE Etiquette of NeqD York To-day

otherwise there is not space for
pedestrians. People should not
stand in groups talking in the
street and thus preventing 9TH
ers from passing.
A man lifts his hat when MAX
ing his apology to a woman. He
raises his hat when offering any
civility to a woman, such as Civ
ing up a seat in a public convey
ance, or opening a door in any
public place, or picking up a
purse or anything that has been
dropped, These civilities are ac-
knowledged by a slight bow and
the words, Thank YOU" These
are not trif1ing courtesies. They
are important and imperative.
1t is not good manners to loi-
ter, looking in shop windows;
one should walk on quickly from
place to place.
1t is provincial for a man to
walk between two women. His
place is at the outside OF the
pavement. He should not take n
woman by the arm or elbow. I'M
less absolutely necessary on a
crossing to protect her from sud
den danger
Voices should be restrained in
public. Good manners demand
that private affairs should not be
discussed within the hearing Of
strangers. The mentioning of
names of absent persons. or any
gossip about others in public, is
a breach of etiquette The worst
manners are those of persons who
seem to wish to attract attention
by loud talking, laughing or max
ing demonstrative gestures.
A we'll bred person is polite 10
all sorts and conditions OF people.
BY the very delicacy of his cour-
tesy he avoids annoying or Of
tending anyone The neglect OF
politeness in matters which seem
trivial reveals the character and
training of the individual a
The manner OF doing a very
simple action reveals good breed
ing or the lack Of it. The con-
slant observance of the apparent
ly trihing politenesses of life
leads the way TO higher Level
of manners and character.

He Seemed Conscious Of
His Important
Position.

He seems to be in perfect
health and is quite conscious of
the Importance of his position.
But there is one thing of which
he is not conscious. That is
THE IMPORTANCE OF COUR-
TESY AND POLTTENESS to-
ward the patrons Of the road.
Not that this young conductor has
been guilty of gross impoliteness.
He has simply been too brusque,
to dictatorial, too American in
his methods, to make him stand
in his position as an admirable
example of ambitious young man
hood forging his way to the top.
Three ladies were boarding the
car with all possible speed, two
with many parcels and one with
a suit case, when this young con-
ductor called out, brusquely,
Step lively! Step lively! And
the words were accompanied with
an aggressive pull at the start
ing strap which almost pitched
one lady backward.
1t is sometimes necessary for
passengers who are standing on
the platform of cars, and block
ing the passageway while they
bio adieu to friends on the street,
to be reprimanded by a request
to "Step lively!" But these three
ladies were hurrying and using
more speed than grace in their
effort to enter the car.
Therefore the young conductors
advice was superfiuous and impo-
lite. One lady wished to leave
the car. 1t was moving with
great speed, and she arose to
make sure Of getting to the door
and making her exit
Please stop" she said. The
young conductor gave her a look
of scorn. "Sit down." he com
manded, in a most dictatorial
tone. I'VE stop at the corner"
But before he finished speak
ing the car had reached her
street. The lady wanted 10 tell

The Elderly Are Often
Irritable and
Nervous.

Every thinking man and Yom
an knows how hard and nerve
racklng is the work of a trolley
conductor on the crowded lines
of big city When we consider
how unpleasant it is to be a pas
senger on one Of these cars at
rush hours we have only to exert
the imagination a little to realize
what it must be to remain on
that car hour after hour; to
avoid collisions with motor cars
and trucks and pedestrians; to
stop and start at every corner at
the exact spot and moment to
please a vast army of travellers
and shoppers and business peo-
pie, and to be subjected to all the
ten thousand annoyances which
crowds Of human beings gener-
ate.
When an elderly conductor is
crotchety and brusque one feels
sympathy for him, knowing the
trying causes which have led to

interest in books, music and art,
an ability to talk we'll and hor-
ror of slang. Too much charm of
personality implies feeling.
Nobody wants to have feeling
in these days. 1t is best to be a
rough rider over feelings. A girl
now likes to be an out-and- out
sport. She goes in for fencing.
boxing, riding to hounds, swim
ming and sailing. Dancing must
even be OF a sporty kind"
With natural charm and per-
sonality, this girl was on the
way to destroy some of her most
attractive possessions. All that
she proclaimed so vehemently
was an affectation, a pretense.
A girl may love sport without
becoming unfeminine. If she dts
claims interest in literature and
art she is usually talking insin-
cerely and conceallng her knowl-
edge. But when she processes
an aversion to feeling she is in
danger OF becoming hard and
selfish
There is little doubt that in the
heart OF every girl is love Of
ideals and the conviction that it
is not old fashioned to wish to
live up to them and to be an in
spiration in the world, a useful
member of society. rather than a
superficial, vain, selfish or frivo-
lous woman.
In these days of rush and hur-
ry, in crowded streets and other
public places. it NAV not be
as easy TO bear ones self with
the same courtesy. n even
good humor, that is practiced
among our friends and in draw
Ing rooms, but this is the test

his state OF mind; but when
youth sets forth upon this voca-
tion it seems a misfortune for
him to begin his work in this
state of nervous tension and
needless irritability with unof-
tending passengers.
In any position which necessi-
tates being thrown with thou
sands of ones fellowmen of all
classes good nature and courtesy
are rare assets. They are fac
tors in future success. They lead
TO promotion and growth. They
conserve ones forces.
Nothing wastes and dissipates
our energies more than the habit
Of being easily irritated over
small matters.
One of the most important re-
solves any young man can make
when he sets out in any vocation
in life is to cultivate amiability
and poise in his dealings with his
fellows. And to add courtesy and
an agreeab BILE manner.
He will be astonished as he Gull
tivates these qualities to see how
many of the worrisome happen
ings of daily life disappear before
a smile and how many troubles
vanish when met with poise and
equanimity.
Every street car conductor
needs to realize that to greater
or less degree he is influencing
the feelings of every person who
boards his car.
A nervous, tired and despond
ent passenger can be made stir
more nervous by a disagreeable
and brusque conductor, and can
be made correspondingly less
nervous and irritable by a gra-
cious and kindly presence in the
person Of the conductor.
Each one of us sends forth Vi
brations through every waking
moment. And those vibrations
are influencing everyone who
comes in our vicinity. Whether
they are good or bad, peaceful or
warlike, restful or irritating, de-

VALDEZ COPPER MINE
 TO EMPLOY FIVE HUNDRED

Valdez, Dec 7.-The final payment of s99,O00 on the Midas copper claim was made yesterday by the Granby Consoli- dated Mining Smelling and Power Company of British Columbia. The property was turned over to the foreign firm on October 1, after the deal had been consummated throuFh their engineer E. Campbell. The purchase price was a cash deal representing an investment of $l23,OOO of which the first payment of S25,0 900 was made immed- ateiy through the Valdez bank.
 The Midas copper mine is situated or Solomon gulch, three miles across the bay from Valdez, and was first discovered by 8 man while out hunting Little work was done on the property beyond doing the representation work until 1910, when local business men became interested and showed their faith in the property by put ting up their own money in developing it to a point where big companies could be interested At one time the mine was bonded to Stephen Birch, but after invest ing S50,000 in the property he left 1t for some unknown reason. Over S75,000 has been spent in developing the property, and i. is understood that the new company

will spend a sum equauing the purchase price in opening the mine.
 The opening of the Midas mine, located so near to Valdez, will result in increased business for local merchants and will give an impetus to the entire district by at, tracting the attention of Outside capital to other Valdez properties The Granby people, through their agent, have pur- chased two other mines in this distinct. and it is understood that they have more in view and intend to enter this district OR large scale.
 The company will start active develop ment on the Midas copper claim irnmed- ately, and it will be the biggest single operation in this district.
 A crew of 800 men will be started at work on the property nt once. The two water power companies are also located on Solomon gulch, and will provide cheap power until their own machinery is ia- stalled

It ,ppears that while James Ebony was absent rom his home and Mrs. Ebony and their wo children were visiting at neighbor'S, heir home caught fire in some unknown manner, and although the entire population f the town hurrieGly responded to the ! arm, the dwelling was totally burned to the ground and all the househol1 effects f the family were consumed, leaving the members of the family only the garments hey were wearing at the time.
 A few minutes after the Ebony cabin was turned beyond repair a second alarm was ounded, and flames were seen issuing from he roof of the cabin occupied by Captain rohn Worth of the N c. Co. By the quick nd effective action of Captain Worth and Ir Fullerton, with the aid of small fire ,xtinguisher, they succeeded in subduing the fire before much damage was done.
 And to make things more interesting, just I few minutes later, before Captain Worth had time to Troll pill, third fire alarm vas raised This time the fire was sup posed to be in the N C. warehouse, but On making hurried investigation it was found hat the cause for alarm was only the re- lection of the first fire in the windows of he warehouse, and everybody felt consid- arably relieved and many adjourned to the Fullerton sunshine factory to tall: the mat ter over.

 The first telegraph message from the lat ter place since the storm reached Denver yesterday morning. 1t was relayed from outside points, and asked for information in regard to the train From this it was seen that somewhere between DanvilIe and Den yer the inbound train was showed up.
 The railroad officials at once organized 8 rescue gang, which started out early yes terday to work through the drifts to the stalled cars
 With this party was telegraph lineman, and he managed to splice the wire after the party reached the stalled train,
 He reports that for several days the pas sengers and crew have been without food and that six passengers and one member of the train crew are dead from cold and ex- posture.
 Several attempts were made by those on the train to reach Danvile after the bliz- gard stalled the engine but they were un- successful, and some of the members of these parties died of exposure before they could get back to the train.
 After all of the coal in the tender was burned the people moved into one car and tried to keep it warm by burning wood ripped from the other coaches.
 There was great suffering from lack of food, and altogether seven people had sue cumbed before the relief crew reached the train.

 Huerta claims to haze abundant rrocf of his assertion, and even says thSt he can furnish the names of the New York firms and other interests who are contributing to the rebel cause, together with the ncne of at least one large commercial house ia New York well known for its ability to furnish anything in the line of military equipment, from siege gun to cartridge belt.
 The location of this firm IS given as on lower Broadway, and 1t maintains large stock of war materials on an island up the Hudson river, from which 1t furnishes rev outionists of Central and South American republics.
