Submarine Boorns Trade.

In these days with many visitors
rambling around, the telescope man on
the Battery sea wall does n land office
business. Possibly it is his dcscrip-
tion of the remarkable sights 10 be
seen by means Of his long glass that
is responsible for the trade. Some Of
them are described on a neat canvas
sign as follows
"Thls telescope shows Statue Of Lib
erty, 1% miles away and 3O5 feet high.
Also cannon, forts and soldiers on Gov
ernor's island. Liners and ships may
be seen, including captains and pas
sengers. Views cents"
Perhaps there is in the last SEN
tence a subtle suggestion that the lin
ers may be Summarized; in other
words, take a last look at your
friends" At any rate he never fails
to call attention to passing liners
which mount guns for defense against
submarine guns, demanding that pass
ersby take this chance Of getting Il
good look at the guns mounted on the
stern. This is a never-failing attrac-
ton nowadays and means a fresh

Good Manners Help.

A merchant who returned from Eng
land just before the war broke out has
been voluble ever since on the manners
of the children he happened to meet
abroad. Apparently American parents
and schools do not lay on good man
ners the emphasis that they receive
abroad. Yet good manners, like the
gold at the foundation of all money,
are current the world over. Emerson
noted this: "Give a boy dress and ac-
complishments and you give him the
mastery of palaces and fortunes wher-
ever he goes. He has not the trouble
to earn or own them; they solicit
him to enter and possess" "All your
Greek" Chesterfield wrote to his son,
"can never advance you from secretary
to envoy, or from envoy to ambassador,
but your address, your air, your man
ner, If good, may" "The difference
between a well-bred and ill-bred man
is this" Samuel johnson said. zone
Immediately attracts your attention,
the other your aversion. You love one
until you find reason to hate him; you
hate the other until you find reason to
love him." Civility, polished manners,
mean much to a youth in his first po-
sition.-Kansas City Star.

ing.
Something about that man is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he is.
He either wants to work you into
something, or he wants to reach some
one else through you.
The man who does deeds of kind
ness, prompted by a heart which is
right, seldom tells of them. He might
mention one to an intimate friend, per-
haps, but then only incidentally.
The man WHO gives, not because he
really wants to do So but because of
some selfish desire, will never get
credit any higher than his own roof.
His desire for effect and his inslncer-
lty make him a man to be avoided
never trusted.
Look out for the man who wants you
to turn his grindstone.

LOTS OF COMPANY FOR POOR
Statistics Show 81 Out of 100 Leave
No Wealth at Death-Records
of Surrogate Court.

It may astonish you to know that II
you are forty-fve years old you have a
better chance to live ten years longer
than you had of living ten years when
you were only twenty-five years old.
remarks "Girard" in the Philadelphia
Ledger
From a great life insurance COM
pany | have the mortality figures for
100 healthy men at twenty-five In the
first decade after that age five of the
100 die. In the second decade, or from
thirty-fve to forty-five years of age, II
die, showing that to be the critical
period in human existence.
Between forty-five and ffty-fve only
four pass out, while in the subsequent
decade 16 fall OF the little army Of
100 there still remain 81 at the age of
seventy-fve.
This company says that Of 100 men
who start a business life at twenty
five, five will become rich and four
wealthy. Surrogate court records show
that only three out of every 100 men
die possessed of an estate of more
than $4,000. Eighty-two out of the
100 leave no income-yielding estate.
Obviously if one loves lots of COM
pany one should remain poor.

tinaS Seth Greene, working on farm
two miles away, had been dropping in
on the Bingham folks once or twice
a week. Huldah liked him. Her fa-
ther was taken with his steady, manly
ways. The kindness Of Huldah to the
poor tinker was the final evidence of
good heart to the already smitten
Seth. He proposed and was accepted.

Soon as l can pay off that two thou
sand dollars and clear the farm, I'll
feel I've got a start in the world for

A year went by, a golden, happy
year for Huldah and Seth. Then the
old man called it a waste of time and
money to have Seth working for some
one else at small wages, when his serV-
ices would count with all working to-
gether on the old homestead.
You can have the wedding soon

Huldah and Seth settled down to a
peaceful, happy married life. The sec

Then she failed to hear her father as

as she did not see any lantern light

went out to the front. The horse and
wagon were standing near the hitch

On recent evening during rain

heaviest, a man dropped one Of numer-
Gus packages he was carrying, just as
he crossed Meridian street, near the
public library, and passed on, unaware
of his loss. The incident was wit

sought the shelter in the entrance to
the library, and by many others watch
ing the storm from the windows Of
the Board Of Trade building For full
ly ten minutes it lay in the rain. SEEM
ingly an object of much curiosity to
those who had seen 1t tumble from

On the Modern Woman.

Justus Miles Forman, in his three
last novels, may be said to have drawn
three sides of the modern woman. In
"The Opening Door" the heroine found
out a way to serve "the cause" when
she discovered the role Of militant suf-
fragist was not for her; in '"The Blind
Spot" "A rich New York girl became
interested in schemes for civic better
ment, and in his last novel, "'The Twin
Sisters" the girl shows that she cares
for other things as well.
81 want to be petted and flattered,"
she says, 'and put upon little pedes-
tai. l want to be told that am pret-
ty and that l inspire my man to do
whatever it is he does better than he
did it before. l want-children
But there's something more-sOme-
thing that has been slowly developing
in us women through the long climb
upward from savagery. We've grown
another want--at least, think we
have. We've grown a desire to use
our brains"

There is loud chuckling in British
naval circles over the latest story ::
Somewhere in the North sea" a GER
tain fOtilla was ordered to proceed to
sea for gunnery practice. During the
practice a heavy fog came on, and the
ship whose turn it was to fire did not
sight the target until within 800 yards
range. She Immediately opened fire,
and blew the target clean out Of the
water. The senior officer Of the flo
tilla, who is noted for his caustic
tongue, thereupon made the following
signal to the vessel in question: rs. o.

proceed closer and bite it?"
