The Other Fellow.

Give him a kindly, brotherly
thought at least once in a while.
Make him the center of things occa.
sionally instead Of yourself. Get
into the habit, of seeing a few things
from his point Of view. As you
value the best things for which men
were made, do not make all life a
competition and all humanity a field
for your exploitation. OF course, you
can get, ahead Of the other fellow IL
you try hard enough, and act meanly
enough, but the net result of it all is
bound to be terribly disappointing.
The money in your pocket! that ought
justly to be in his may not burn a
hole and get out, but it may do some.
thing very much worse than that; it
may burn and scar and scorch your
own soul. It is really a rather serious
matter living alongside the other fel.
low. What We do with him may DO
important, from his point Of view, but
It is very much more important from
ours.

of the United States, is called Washington only by courtesy. s. s@#.
There are only two business transactions that concern the city al a city;
you car buy a railroad ticket or mail a letter to " from Washington.
People will tell you ohhand that Washington is cotermnous with the
District OF Columbia. That is a reasonable conclusion, but it is not supported
by any legal definition; and, moreover, there is no specific authority for tho
origin of this name Is applied to the federal territory.
1t is understood that legislation is about to be introduced to change all
this, fathered by one who contends that it was intended from the very begin
ming that the federal capital bear the nam of Washington; wherefore, If
the District of Columbia and the federal capital ares synonymous, the former
term is a corruption which has crept in and should be discarded.
The idea is to formulate a bill demanding that the words District Of
Columbia shall be struck out Of all legislation concerning the federal capital
and the words Washington City be inserted in their place.
