iy as a rose transplanted to sheltered and lovingly tended garden.
 And speaking of courtesy and the -- cate consideration of others. either inside the family circle or out, one of the pret- tiest little stories told on the subject has to do with the late Arehdrke rancis Ferdinand, heir apparent to the throne of Hungary, who was murdered within the past year by the bullet of a Servian as- sa ssin.
 It appears that the archduke was an ex- perienced and enthusiastic Alpine climber and skillful chamois hunter and owned a shooting lodge at Blumbacs,tal. m the Fyrolese Alps. Here he was accustomed to lay aside royal formality and rough 1t in the spirit of true mountaineer. Not infrequenty he was mistaken by for eigners for an Alpine guide.
 On one such occasion, in the neighbor hood of the Bernina Pass, he came upon three American mountain climbers who had lost their way. Here the mountains of the Rhaetian Alps attain an altitude of 13300 feet in their highest peak, dan- gerous glaciers abound and the pass, at an altitude of TOO feet, unites the valleys of the Upper Engardine, on the north, with the Valtellina, on the south. From possible danger to life or limb the arch duke cheerfully and safely conducted the Americans, and when one of them, in gratitude for their deliverance. offered the supposed guide a Swiss 100 franc $2o) bank note the heir of the proudest and most rigidly punctilious court in all Eu- rope accepted the money with gravely expressed thanks.
 It was an act of such courteous consid eration for the feelings of others. That the archduke's rank was unknown to those whom he had benefited was due to his own guarded incognito. Since he had been mistaken for an humble noun tainer since he had accepted the role, the man of kingly lineage would not humiilate the men whose lives he had saved by turning their offered remuneration to rid icule and their gratitude into embarrass ment.
 The archduke pocketed the tip-he even had it framed-perhaps the only money he really ever earned. and it is said to have been counted among his most treasured possessions. Certainly it re- vealed him a good sportsman -nd a cpdr- teous gentleman.

LAY CORNER STONE FOR NEW CHURCH

Tuscaloosa, -:arch 9.--(Special. )--Before one of the largest crowds ever gathered in Northport, Bishop James H. Mccoy of Birmingham yesterday morning presided over the ceremonies of the laying of the corner stone of the new Northport Metho- dist church.
 Bishop Mccoy has many friends in Tuscaloosa, where he was pastor of the First Methodist church for several years and large numbers of his former congre- gation attended the services in North port yesterday.
 The delay in the laying of the corner stone of the church. which is practically completed and is one of the handsomest in the state, was caused by the inability of Bishop Mccoy to attend on account of numerous other engagements.

Meaning of "Hurrah"

Can you tell me the meaning of 'hur- rah?' It seems to be the cry of exulta- ton and triumph with all English speak ing peoples, except, when on the other side of the water, they say huzza.' And why do we say 'hello? I cannot find any root of the word, unless it may be perversion of 'haloo.' Each of these must have had beginning somewhere. Nothing happens without cause.
 "A. R. Y"
 The word shurrah' Is pure Slovenian. The origin of the word belongs to the primitive idea that every man that dies heroically for his country goes straight to heaven. 'Hu-ray' 1. e., Paradise. In the shock and ardor of battle the com batants utter that cry as the Turks do that of 'Allahv each animating himself by the certitude of immediate recompense to forget earth and depise death.' I have clipped the above from an exchange and offer it as an ingenious reply to one clause of your query. The dictionary writes ''huzzah"-It is a variant of "hurrah." The same may be said prob- ably of ''halloo.' The American tele- phone call hello" is certainly, as you surmise, a perversion of "halloo''
