Courtesy In Speech

It is true that the one time honored
"maam" has gone the voyage. Yet
wait-what takes its place? Some
times nothing. Poor modern child!
Little Willie, you see, is taught that
INA am" Is decidedly bad form, don't
you know, mode Of address only
to be used by servants, indeed, and So
his youthship comes out with an abrupt
mo" or brief "Yes," to old ladies and
playmates alike. The really correct
thing for Willie to be taught is that the
name or relationship of the person ad-
dressed must be given In place Of that
socially ostracized "ma'am." He must
say, "Yes, 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 pleasant little mark
Of courtesy, even from one older person
to another, and is charming to hear
from child's lips.

Golden Moments.

Which do you consider the golden
moments in your life? Some one has
said that the wasted moments are the
golden ones, and it would seem that
the person who claims that he or she
hasn't the time to do worth while
things is the very one who wastes
many precious moments every day.
Reading is something which a ma
jority cast aside because they haven't
time. Yet these same persons can be
found in the railway stations, the de-
partment stores or in the theater
lobbies walking back and forth like
Gagged animals or stamping their feet
in double quick time waiting for
friend to arrive.
They are not only wasting their
energies; they are most likely piling
wrinkles in their faces and are work
ing themselves up into such condition
that they will never be able to enjoy
properly the entertainment to which
they intend going. Instead of so much
fussing and fuming it would be far
more advantageous to spend the time
reading.
1t is possible to get the authors In
small editions. These little books can
be slipped into the pocket before one
goes out and can be brought to the
rescue when it is necessary for one to
wait for five or ten minutes.-Pitts-
burgh Press.

A COLLEGE EDUCATION.

In regard to the general business
criticism Of the value of college men
q writer In the American Magazine
says:
when you come to analyze college
it is hard to discover anything In it
that should help a man in modern
business. What has Cyrus marched
forty parasangs' to do with the price
Of cotton today? How should knowl-
edge of the philosophy of Plato help
a man to get his salary raised? I
cannot answer these questions, but
this l know: My first boss took into
his organization an Office boy named
Art Morgan. Art was a lovable chap.
The boss had real fondness for him
and pushed him ahead as fast as he
possibly could. He confided to me one
day that he had hoped to make Art
general manager. But he got Art up
to $40 week, and, try as he would, he
could not push Art single notch fur
ther. The boss told me about it one
night at dinner.
ITS taught me a lesson" he said.
II am never going to take another
young man into my organization unless
he has a college education or its
equivalent"

Lettuce Needs a Shady
Corner of the Garden

A partially shady part of your garden
can be used for growing head lettuce
or romaine lettuce in the warm months,
says a bulletin from the National
Emergency Food Garden commission.
The quality Of lettuce is apt to be
injured In hot, dry weather For that
reason some sort Of partial shading is
desirable when the plants will not ma
ture before hot weather sets in. Hot
weather coming early in the life Of the
lettuce plant is apt to prevent it from
forming any head.
When the garden is not shaded the
lettuce may be artificially shaded in
hot weather by movable screen made
by stretching cheesecloth over V
shaped frame made Of light strips of
wood. The sides of this frame should
be two or three feet wide, and the
frame ought to be ten or twelve feet
long. The cloth will partially shade
the plant, retard evaporation Of the
soils moisture and enable the grower
to produce crisp, good favored lettuce
in summer.
Head lettuce seed should be planted
early in the season, half ounce being
enough to plant 100 feet Of row. The
plants when quite small should be thin
ned to stand six to eight inches apart,
while the rows ought to be one foot
apart at least. The plant needs much
moisture; hence thorough cultivation
should be given, while artificial water
ing helps the crop in dry weather. The
entire head should be cut for use.
Romaine leaves grow erect and form
a loose head. The crop is grown the
same way as head lettuce, except that
when the plants are grown the outer
leaves should be tied together at the
top to bleach the inner leaves.

A Neat Appearance

Personally 1 am well defined slob.
frequently l neglect to shave. Almost
never Is my hair correctly brushed.
Nearly always l have the appearance
of a man who has dressed himself In
an upper berth Of Pullman cur.
patronize q rather expensive Fifth ave-
nue tailor who has long since despair
ed Of making me look presentable. He
attempts, l believe, to extract some
sort Of comfort from the haberdasher's
adage that gentlemen never look SO
neat as BARRIERS and barmen, no matter
how skillful their tailors may be.
Unfortunately, however, 1t Is not gen.
tility that makes me q slob. should
say rather that It is a lack Of mental
discipline. I loathe the idea Of having
to tub and shave on schedule, then
spend so many minutes on my hair,
so many more on tying my cravat, and
so on, until / have turned myself out
perfectly groomed," as the novelists
say.
Perhaps that sounds like ridicule of
the 80 called meat dresser" but 1t is
not. If I were twenty-one again
should pay more attention to my per-
sonal appearance. should not search
for the latest novelties Of male attire,
but invariably should be scrupulous-
ly barbered and laundered and boot
blacked. really believe that such
things count. 1t is not alone what
other people think Of you; 1t 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-
sciousness 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

Be MercifuI.

Never hurt any ones self respect.
Never trample on any soul, though II
may be lying in the veriest mire, for
that last spark Of self respect is its
only hope. its only chance, the last
seed Of 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 child, 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
Kingsley.

What shall we do with this life of
ours-bear it patiently and bravely?
Yes; bear it patiently and bear it
bravely, and more. Take it up gladly
as heritage; enjoy it nationally; trust
God, not fearing to use what he gives,
and go forward with all courage. If
we live truly we shall count no duty
small and no sacrifice great We shall
love strongly, aspire increasingly and
find life's highest end in being.-Charles
A. Murdoch.

Train the Mind.

If we work upon marble it will per-
ish, if we work upon brass time will
efface it, if we rear temples they will
crumble into dust. but if we work
upon immortal minds. if we imbue
them with principles. with the just
fear of God and love of our fellow
men, we engrave on those tablets
something which will brighten to all
eternity.-Daniel Webster.

Scandal.

Be slow to believe bad reports of any
person. Hear not evil readily. Remem-
Der he who bears the scandal Of an
other to thee will some time take an
other evil words concerning thee, and
perhaps more justly, for hath he not
seen thee open thy mind to evil instead
Of shutting thy heart against it and
barring it with generous thought?

preparing to put the lid on the
bone-dry' liquor law, effective
July / which IS said by the depart
ment Of justice to be probably the
most drastic enforcement of any
law heretofore enforced.
Beginning on July /, the govern
ment authorities will do nothing
less than scatter throughout the
country small sized maps and bull
letins showing in detail the states
which either in Whole or in part
have prohibition and where it will
be unlawful, under the federal law !,
to address mail matter containing
either advertisements or solicita-
lions for orders for intoxicating
liquors.
The recent law on this subject
provides that no letter, postal card,
circular, newspaper, pamphlet, Or
publication Of any kind, containing
either advertisements or sOlicita~
tions for such orders, shall be de-
posted in or carried by the mails
of the United States, or be deliver
ed to any postmaster or letter car
rier when addressed to any state or
territory in which it is by local law
forbidden to advertise or to solicit
orders for liquor.
Government officials construe the
act as barring from the mails mat
ter of the character described when
addressed to states or political sub
division thereof in which it is for
hidden either to advertise or solicit
orders.
1t is expected that the first bulle-
tin will be ready within the next
ten days and by inspection it will
be comparatively easy matter to
keep from running afoul Of the law
