Courtesy In Speech

1t is trus that the one time honorcd
"ma'am" has gone the voyage. Yet
wait-what takes it's place? Some
times nothing. Poor modern child!
Little Willie, you see, is taught that
"ma'am" is decidedly bad form, don't
you know, a mode Of address only
to be used by servants, indeed, and so
his youthsllip comes out with an abrupt
mo- or q brief eyes," to old ladies and
playmates alike. The really correct
thing for Willie to be taught is that the
name or relationship Of the person adj
dressed must be given in place Of that
socially ostracized "ma'am." He must
say, Eyes, mother" or mo, father" (if
he has been taught not to use "sir'),
or mo, Mr.. Smith Or Miss JONES'" as
the case may be. The mentioning Of
a persons name when speaking to him
or her is always q pleasant little mark
Of courtesy, even from n older person
to anotheee, and is charming to hear
from a chsld's lips.

How One Family Saved

In the American Magazine a writer
tells how he and his wife managed to
save money and get ahead:
"On March /, 1905, my wife per-
suaded me to take out five shares Of
building and loan stock, which neces-
STATED my paying So every month. I
kept at it faithfully and regularly, new
er missing a single payment, and many

my salary was not very large. But I
considered that 1 owed it Just the same
as | owed my rent.

that | would not let anything interfere,
and after paying in for ten years and
eight months the secretary told me
that the series l was in had mntured
and that I need not pay any more. So
he gave me a check for $1,000. You
can easily figure that at So per month
I had paid just $G40.
1The profit represented the interest
on my money for the ten years and
premium on my money which the as
ISOLATION had sold, and when the
amount which / had paid then plus In
terest ana premium reached $1,000 my
obligation to them ceased, and 1 got
the amount mentioned above, CT $1,000.
I have often said to my wife that we

certain we would not have saved the

start and felt that we should stick to
it until the stock matured.

bond that pays 5 per cent, and instead
of paying out $50 a year we get $50 in.

save the $50 each year and in addition

Be MercifuI,

Never hurt any ones self respect.
Never trample on any soul, though it
may be lring i'll the yeriest mire, for
that last spark Of self respect is its
only hope, it's only chance, the last
seed Of q new and better life, the voice
Of God Which still whispers to it: "You
are not what you ought to be, and you
are not what YOU can be. You are still
Gods cltna, still an immortal soul.
You may rise and conquer it and be a
man yet after the likeness of God,
who made YOU" Oh, why crush that
voice in any heart? If you do the poor
creature Is lost and lies where he or
she falls, never to rise again.-Charles

A Neat Appearance

Frequently I neglect to shave. Almost
never is my hair correctly brushed.

ed of making me look presentable. lie
attempts, 1 believe, to extract some
sort Of comfort from the haberdasher's
adage that gentlemen Y lools so
neat as BARRIERS and barmen, no matter
how skillful their tailors may be.
Unfortunately, however, it is not gen
tility that makes me q slob. I should
say rather that it is a lack Of mental
discipline. / loathe the idea of having
to tub and shave On schedule, then
spend sc many minutes OF my hair,
so many more on tying my cravat, and

say.
r Perhaps that sounds like ridicule of
the so called meat dresser" but it is
not. If l were twenty-one again l
should pay more attention to my per-
sonal appearance. I should not search
for the latest novelties Of male attire,
but invariably I should be scrupulous-

things count. 1t is not alone what
other people think Of you; it is partly
what you think Of yourself.
However, the other mans viewpoint
is always important, as the best sort of
self esteem results from your con.
seriousness that you are deporting your.
self as decent people expect you to act,
Any other sort of self esteem is either
bluff or self delusion.-William Max.

LAUGHTER r.

Spontaneous, happy laughter

man who never laughs must not

cannot be sweet. Don't crush

Happiness.

Happiness is always a byproduct. 1t
never comes to those who concentrate
on securing it. The unhappiest per-
son in the world is the one who con
stantly pursues happiness. Not more
elusive was the nymph that fed Apol-
10 than is happiness to those who pur-
sue it as an end and aim. It always
comes as a result of something else.
The pursuit of noble things, the things
essentially worth while, brings happi-
ness. AS a man goes Oh life's jour
ney with a brave heart, doing the best
be can and leaving the issues "to the
powers that wait on noble ends" he
often hears the faint lutter of invisible
wings, lie feels a presence, a compan-
ion. 1t is Happiness.-Chicago Herald.
