THIS MAN TEACHES
 THAT COURTESY PAYS

In the September American Nigga zine, writer tells about David Gib- son, who is called the original cour- tesy man. MT. Gibson has done more than any other individual towards teaching railroads and other great corporations the importance of cour- tesy. Mir. Gibson's resolution is:
 Resolved: That we all cease try ing to get something for nothing grating, in other words; that we all do just a little more than we agree to do, rather than just little less. That honesty is a question of efficiency here on earth, with it's rewards in profits now, here on earth. That fear is the root of all evil; for if our neigh hor cheats us in his store it is to for tify himself against some element out of his store. That the basis of all life is business life; that business is the system by which we supply our wants and needs that we are true to political life, true to social life, as we are true to business life. That we think of others as we would have them think of us; that we do as we think, the thought precedes the act; that cooperation is the real brother hood of man; that the prosperity of enc man does not require the poverty of another man; that both the idle man and the dishonest man, whether they be possessed of little or much, are fools in themselves and abomina- tions to their communities.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-11-01

again-until next Halloween-and
there were sights seen which may
never be seen again.
A spritely young woman in Buster
Brown costume romped by a party OF
young men and whispered greeting
to one. She was gone before he re-
covered from his establishment
He mentioned name to nj COM
panions, that of sweet shy thing
from one of the first families.
"She used to be the slowest girl In
town." sang one of them.
A proverbially charming widow in
tweeds and a veil thin enough to see
pair of pretty pink cheeks flirted
audaciously with some gay young
blades. They seized her eagerly, re-
fusing to heed her plaintive pleas for
release. She had sweet voice.
Bass Voice Betrays Her.
"Come OFF, Wheredyu get this
stuff" suddenly came voice OF bari
tone pitch and muscle not acquired
kneeding dough made itself felt. The
voice came from behind the veil and
the muscle was concealed In the
tweeds. Everybody concerned re
tired in confusion while a throng had
a free howl of merriment.
A favorite amusement was had by
stealing a member of party bodily.
1t was pure fun. So wasn't short,
sharp hat pin which one protesting
miss produced from somewhere. She
didn't take the trouble to conceal her
operations from the crowd. Point one
scored by the miss.
An automobile rolled slowly by
carrying twelve bowling, screaming
burlesquers perched at every vantage
top on the rear. A conservative bust
ness man wanted to seize the steering
wheel from the driver. The idiotic
look on the drivers face was frozen
there.
Costumes Are Varied.
A dance held in the Eagles hall
gained a place for itself in the annals
of Terpsichore in Richmond. 1t was
the most colorful affair seen here, cos
tunes being everything from gaudy
flamboyant minstrel suits to artistic
historical representations.
One of the favorite costumes with
the men when worn by their dancing
partners was a jumper suit or long
and short legged clown costume. There
were Indians, hoydans, ROSTERS, police
men, Happy Holligans. Fathers" Bus
ter Browns, femi-men-if that de-
scribes girls dressed as boys and vice
versa-clowns, minstrels and every
other variety of take-offs and witty
were conspicuously missing.
Chaplins were conspicuously missing
Fortunately there was no general
un-masking. If there had been, one of
the most motley crews assembled in
Richmond in it's history would have re-
vealed personalities more varying than
can be printed for lack of space and
adjectives.
Score for 81 Varieties.
None of the members Of the young
society set unmasked. Part Of the
other Sc varieties did. From the
highest, the social degrees shaded off
to the shadiest and the shadiest were
