A Good Citizen.

A Good Citizen.
Classifying the people of ones ac-
quaintance is always a favorite diver
sion.
people who like olives and people
who don't" is one quoted by Gelett
Burgess.
People who like Charles Lamb and
Barrie, and people who don't" is my
favorite.
A friend of mine advanced an in
teresting one the other day:
There are just two classes of peo-
pie in the world" she said; people
who are courteous enough to answer
invitations to subscription affairs, and
people who are not"
1t is a hall mark of breeding, isn't
it, to attend to these bothersome lit
tie matters? There are some things
that etiquette absolutely requires that
we do. No one but an utter boor
would think of ignoring a personal
and private invitation. Above and
beyond these rigid obligations are the
amenities that those who have the
truest courtesy in their hearts observe.
The finest lady Gin it's best sense)
that l know is absolutely punctilious
about these things. She has many in
terests and her mail is full of appeals
and invitations of one sort or another.
And she never fails to attend to one
of them. She courteously refuses the
invitation to the subscription dance,
she conscientiously records her vote
for the college trustee. she indicates
her hope of being present at the con-
cert.
And. most wonderful of all, she
does each thing promptly, the day the
letter arrives. They take no more
time then than later" she explains.
1 asked her once why she was so
attentive to these matters, for many
of the invitations are from people for
whom she cares nothing, and she said
simply, isn't that part of being a
good citizen?'
And 1 agreed that it was.
Good breeding" some one has said,
'is a combination of much sense, some
good-nature and little self-deniaI for
the sake of others, with a view to
obtaining the same indulgence from
them"
Now what are laws but agreements
founded on the same idea of self
denial for the sake of others with a
view to obtaining the same indulgence
from them?"
So good breeding and good citizen
ship are twins.
Are you a good citizen?
Question-Is it necessary to wait
for an invitation before you can go to
visit friends in n distant city?
Answer-Would you Ike to have
those friends visit you without an in
vitation? Unless a very great degree
of intimacy exists, I cannot imagine
doing such a thing, and even then I
should rather be made absolutely sure
of my welcome by a definite invita-
ton. OF course where a general invi-
tation exists, it is allowable TO write
and ask if a specific date is conven-
lent protected by George Matthew
Adams.)

On the Spur

By ROY K MOCLTON.

Keep Your Head.
'Tain't no use in goin' daffy
When some Teller feeds yo' taffy;
When he tells yo' dat he sho' admires
you spunk;
When he says yo' am winner,
And dat he's Just a beginner,
Jes' make up yo' mind he's handin' yo'
de bunk.
It's cinch what am de matter
When he comes aroun' to fiatter
An to feed yo' stuff nobody would be-
lieve.
Though at first he does not tell yo',
He has got gold bricks to sell yO';
He has sho'ly got a cold deck up his
sleeve.
Do not put up any holler,
But jes' set right still and swal1er
All he says, jes' lax yo' thought twas on

Let him ladle out de honey,
But jes' hang to yo' money

In all probability. nothing is being
so exaggerated these days as the re-
ports of the size of the forces at the
disposal of Carranza, the quality and
volume of their equipment and their
all-around formidableness. Had Car
rama anything like=the soldiery and
military equipment in field guns and
so forth that he is now reputed to
have, he would have pacified Mexico
in its entirety long ago.

Smelly Foods.
Cabbage, onions, sauerkraut, and

morning near the postofiice when one
of the drivers of the Morrison milk teams
seemed to lose control of his horse, as
he was coming down South Main street,
and the sleigh hit the curb in front OF
the government building with such a
force that it tipped the rig over, scat

animal was stopped after the driver had
