More precious than all else 20 me
Ny self-respect must always be-
You see IL cannot respect my
self I cannot expect others to re-
spect me. And ! am dishonest, but
hide il so that my neighbors do not
suspect II ana still continue TO re-
spect me, | am not only cheating
them, but am trying TO cheat myself.
And IL try TO cheat myself / GER
tainly cannot respect myself, for no
one ever tries TO cheat those whom
they respect Just ask Peter Rab-
bit what he thinks about 1t.
You see, Peter had become hero
ever night. Any enc who has q
great adventure and Gomez through
Il safely Is sure to be hero in the
eyes Of his neighbors. II was 50
with Peter. Hadn't Peter discover
ed q new and terrible danger on the
Green Meadows! You see. the story
of the thing which had gone of with
a roar like the roar OK Farmer
Browns Boys terrible gun right un
der Peters nose, a. he WAS running
across the Green Meadows In the
night. had spread all over the Green
Meadows and through the Green
Forest. With every time repeated
the story had grown until II had
made Peter a hero, who had escap-
ed death by the skin Of his teeth.
and had then hurried 20 warn his
neighbors of the new and awful
danger.
So IT Was that when Peter return
ed from his call on Bob White he
found that everybody looked on him
with the greatest respect. and all
his neighbors wanted to hear the
story from his own lips. At first
Peter felt very much hattered. He
dearly loves TO be admired. 1t is
very nice to be regarded as hero.
But down In his heart he knew that
II was all false. You see he had
found out that terrible roar, which
had so frightened him. was nothing
terrible nj all. but merely the sound
OF the strong, little wings Of Bob
Whites family, all beating the air
at once.
So Peter knew that instead OF a
real hero OLA real adventure he was
just the opposite. He had run away
In terrible fright from something
Which was wholly harmless. ANY
way, Bob White has promised not to
tell thought Peter. "and 7 certainly
am not going tc tell myself Why.
everybody would laugh at me In
stead Of respecting me as they do
now!"
but 90 you respect yourself!"

couldn't bring himself TO answer that

he exclaimed Indignantly.
Yes. you are said the small

story has grown and grown until II

that they wouldn't think you hero

But they don't know. and they
won't know. for Bob White has
promised no. to tell" cried Peter
triumphantly.
But one day was all Peter could
stand OF that sort OF thing. You
sec. while all his neighbors treated
him with so much respect, he
couldn't respect himself. Little by
little he realized that the loss OF his
self-respect was greater than the
loss OF the respect OF his nelghbors
could possibly be. Besides. down
deep In his heart. he knew that II
he should tell the truth his neigh
bors would really respect him more.
They wouldn't admire him any more,
and they would laugh at him for be-
ing fooled SO. but when they came
to think Il all over they would re-

COMING LATE TO DINNER
Neatly Form Of Egotism, According
to chauncey N. Depew, Who
Should Know.

Why do some people always come
late to formal dinners?" is a question
asked Of Chauncey M. Depew, q vet
Gran and famous diner-out. His an
swer was not complimentary to tardy
guests.
Coming late to dinner" said Mr..
Oepow, lis form of egotism. 1t Is 2
pose. usually, affected to command at
tention. The person who comes last
and very late knows that the other
guests will be informed who it Is that
1s late, and that his or her entrance
will be an event. With some people
1t Is sort Of advertisement of having
remembered only when it was too late
to get ready in time, because of such q
multitude of engagements.
Many years ago one prominent lady
was always late for dinner. Her ex-
cuses were innumerable, and always
occupied the attention OF the whole
room, like speech before dinner.
sent her an invitation to one of my
dinners, fixing the time half an hour
before the hour named for the other
invited guests. Consequently she was
not the last to arrive, and did not keep
the company waiting. She never for
gave me.
"Of course in Europe royalty Is al
ways late for dinner, SO as to give an
opportunity for all the guests to ar
rive. II anyone comes after royalty
has arrived, they haven't arrived, their
chair, in the meantime, having disap-
peared from the table"

REALLY OF LITTLE SERVICE
HydroaeropIane Not Likely to Be
Developed, 10 the Opinion Of Men
Who Should Know.

There seems some reason for believ-
ing that the hydroaeroplane, that is,
the aeroplane carrying boat or float
beneath It for alighting on the water,
was development in the wrong direc-
ton. In the first place, such machines
cannot be made seaworthy. Even now
the aeroplane flies in winds that keep
smaller water-borne craft shut up in
port-winds kicking up such sea that
alighting on 1t would be difficult if not
impossible. Secondly, the aeroplane
10 steadily increasing its radius OF
action, and II past growth is any
criterion, will eventually be able to
traverse even the Atlantic in a single
flight. The use of duplicate engines will
greatly minimize the danger of forced
alighting, and the time should not be
far distant when the accidents Of the
past due to structural weakness under
sudden strains will be as rare as they
have been common.
Finally, the use Of mother ship"
that is, marine platform for launch
ing and receiving again from the air
the aeroplane scouts OF the feet at
sea, seems . more feasible means of
solving this problem than that Of fast
eptng an alighting boat to each plane
