Whatever the cause, whatever the

Forever one heart will still be found
Where the deed hurt will not heal.
Though the ninety and nine shall pass

With one shall the hurt refuse to die.
Whatever the burden of your song,

In the heart of one shall it roll along
In lasting echo still,
And whether of woe or Of veal the

In the heart of one will it echo pain.
Whatever the love your life shall

If yagrant fame or fast,
In the heart of one shall the memory

Till loving and life are past.
And whether the love be false or

And years may come, and the years

While the sheen or shadow start,
Yet ever abides, somewhere, 1 know,
The wound of constant heart,
The ninety and nine may smile, nor

But, one forever, must know despair.
You may pass with a lifting song or

5. Respect your neighbours line OF
celan clothes on rug-shaking day.
6. Walls have ears. Speak low ii
you would have your affairs private.
Z. Don't consider the neighbor's
house as dumping place amy old
time" without knocking.
8. Don't let the quarrels between
your own and your neighbours children
destroy friendliness between the pa
rents.
9. Signify Willingness TO help your
neighbor in time of trouble, but no not
intrude.
10. Put a soft pedal on your 7-year
old practicing, especially if there is an
invalid in the neighborhood.
These ten commandments might
very well be doubled and even trip
pied, if we would take into account all
the various little obligations which
one must fulfill if one would be neigh
borly, but the principle of the'thing is
what really counts and the essence of
neighborliness, which is but courtesy

Styles Changing
In Teachers AS
Well as Dance
ior companies

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. THAT styles
change in dancing teachers as we'll as
in dancers is evidenced by the an
nouncement that Miss Lillian V. Nose
ley, only short time ago one of At
lanta's most popular society dancing
teachers, has gone into bankruptcy.
Miss Moseley files a schedule f
$1,276 in liabilities, and NO assets. The
liabilities include $25 she owes Vernon
Castle for five dancing lessons, and
numerous bills to New YORK milliners
|stationers, jewelers. and local florists.
At the time Miss Moseley's populari-
ty was at it's height, there was In At
lanta a certain little man who eked
cut bare existence by giving dane
irg lessons to very few patrons, ex-
tremely cheap, while his wife operated
tie mechanical piano in a bare little
room. Today, while there is no con
nection between the two events, save
that they point the irony of fate, while
the former popular favorite is reduced
to the bankruptcy courts, the obscure
little teacher has arrived" has a
big studio on Peachtree street and is
getting rich.

MISSING CASHIER ARRESTED.

Iowa City, Jan. 26.-After being
missing for several weeks, Charles
Moore, former cashier of the Parnell
Savings bank, has been arrested in
Omaha and brought back to Marengo,
where he faces trial for alleged en-
bezzlement of $1,000 from the city Of
Parnell, which he served as treasurer
at one time. ..
While Moore was still cashier Of the
Parnell bank it was found his accounts
at the bank were short. This defc-
iency was remedied when Moore sold
his stock in the bank and made good
the amount. He left Parnell after the
deficiency in the city funds was dis
covered, it is said, promising to return
and make the amount good. Moore
had purchased an automobile, which
was attached to v his obligations.
The former cashier is being held on
a bond of $4,000 and will be tried in
the March term of court. -.
