TOOK AWAY HIS BREATH.
When DAWSON Heard Morgan Wanted
Him For a Partner.

MIR. Morgan wants TO see you In his
library at 5 O'clock" was the message
received one day by the vice president
Of n New York bank.
He hadn't the slightest idea what the
veteran financier could want with him.
He had met Mr.. Morgan. as most other
financiers had, during the parlous days
when the master mind of them all was
trying to stem the 1907 panic. but had
not seen anything of Mr.. Morgan until
the spring Of the following year When.
With Senator Aldrich and other mem
bers of the monetary commission. be
had spent Sunday at Mr.. Morguns
London home. Between then and the
receipt of the above message In the fall
of 10OS he had seldom spoken to Mr..
Morgan
Promptly mt 3 o'clock the young
banker. wondering what the matter
could be. rang the bell OF the famous
Morgan library. On being ushered in
he almost collided with Mr.. Morgan at
the entrance to his private room.
Mr.. Morgan shook hands and babe

DO you realize 1t is pretty near the
LIST Of january" he asked.
The young banker, very much at seq,
agreed that it was. This was about the
middle of November.
Are you ready" asked Mr.. Morgan.
Ready for WHAT" queried the aston
ished visitor.
For what?" echoed Mr.. Morgan.
You know | want you to come and
join my firm on the LIST of January"
You never said anything about It.

II thought you knew by my express
sion what ! thought Of YOU" said Mr.

TASTE AND MANNERS.
Sometimes They Are Linked and Are
Also Both Bad

Sometimes They Are Linked and Ar,
Also Both Bad.
What IL the difference between taste
and manners?
1t may be bad manners to knock a
man down. but it is not necessarily bad
taste.
A rich man in Philadelphia gave u
reception and issued invitation cards
upon which were engraved his picture.
This was not bad manners. 1t was GER
tainly bad taste.
a large. handsome woman once broke
into a meeting of President Iincoln's
cabinet, interrupting the proceedings.
The homely Lincoln arose and. ad-
dressing her, said:
Madam, what do you wish?'
She replied:
II came in here to take look at YOU. "
Lincoln smiled
well, madam" he replied, in the
matter OF looking have distinct ad-
vantage Of you"
That was both bad taste and bad
manners on her part, and on the part
Of Lincoln 1t was good manners and
good taste to refrain from throwing
her out Of the window, as in strict JUS
tice he should have done.
Good taste is largely matter Of ex-
perience united to natural abilities.
To 90 up 10 your father-in-law at
your wedding breakfast with q bottle
OF champagne in your hand and slap
ping him on the back. calling him "old
sport" is not only bad taste and bad
manners, but wretched sense, especial
~ if the old gentleman is worth mil.
lion.
To be told that your friend Is too
busy to see you in his office and then to
call him up over the nearest telephone
Is not necessarily bad taste. but bad
manners. The two may go together.
but this is not an invarible rule.-Life.

Table Etiquette.

Don't rattle your knife and fork. The
napkin rings are more musical.
Don't rest on your arms on the table.
Stack your weapons in a corner before
dinner.
Never leave the table until the others
are through. If in a hurry, take 1t
with you.
Never eat pie with a knife. It's
proper to eat cheese with pie, but
knives should be eaten alone.
Cigarette smoking is permissible at
the table--if you are dining alone and
have grudge against yourself.-In-
