COURAGE and Courtesy,

It is recorded of General Sheridan
that he was once asked who, in his
opinion, was the most reliable of the
corps commanders, and he unhesitat-
ingly answered, General Hancock. He
said. III l wanted a man to stay
where put him, if l located him at
night and wanted to find him right
there in the morning, I'd select Han
cock" And then further Sheridan
said:
For genuine politeness and gentle
regard for women Hancock was in
comparable. If Mrs. Hancock came
into his room twenty times in half
an hour he would always stand up
There is compliment indeed. The
bravest commander was the most
courteous to women, and, what was
best Of all. he included his own wife
among the objects of his courtesy.
That IS something many men forget
they are courteous to al women ex-
cept to their own wives.-Ohio State
Journal.

ORIGINAL Of EalstaH.

Sir John Tastolf was the original Of
Shakespeares Falstaff and in his day
was a continual butt for the jests Of
the town and borough of Southwark.
Though he had fought at Asincourt.
when Jack Cadc invaded the borough
he showed great cowardice. When
Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had
armed una fortified his house and gar
risoned 1t with veterans Of the French
wars. On the arrival Of Cade. how
ever. he withdrew his garrison and fed
to the Tower, leaving his neighbors to
the mercy of the rebels. Fastolf's mat
rimonial adventures seem also to have
been another source of unpopularity,
for, having married a widow named
Scrope. he seized her property and kept
his stepsCn out Of his inheritance dur

SAVE THE VOICE.
Do Not Sing Nor Talk Whom Suffering
From Throat Eatcue,


Fatigue Injuries the voice. Excessive
use Of the voice weakens its carrying
power. From overuse or improper use
Of the voice a chronic pharyngitis de-
velops. Every one knows the symp-
toms Of overuse Of the voice. The voice
is husky. and It's use is followed by dis
tress. There is an increase in secre-
ton and constant desire to clear the
throat, and there are disagreeable SEN
sations, as fullness, tickling and the
like. After a long day of shopping,
sightseeing or ones daily routine Of
work, it is quite common to be trou-
bled by hoarseness, which does not in
dictate a "cold," but is merely fatigue
Of parts which produce the voice.
The muscular system all over the
body is tired, relaxed. The throat, be-
ing muscular structure. shares in this
fatigue, and it should never be used for
any particular purpose, like singing or
reciting, until the whole body is rested
II one has arranged to use the voice at
the close of the day or at any other
time, it should not be when suffering
from fatigue.
Public speakers and singers take care
Of their voices and never willingly use
them long enough at time to weaken
them. Singing only one song extra
may hurt the voice enough to impair
its clearness. and frequent OVERRIDING
may result In permanent weakness.
Rest before using the voice and taking
care not to use 1t too long when sing
ing or speaking saves the voice AMI
keeps 1t clear and sweet and gives it
carrying power.
