Politeness Well Defined
BY Three Eminent Persons

Many definitions of politeness have
been given by learned and able men
and are to he found scattered through
literature. Here are three short ones,
each from an eminent man. Sidney
Smith says that "politeness is good ma
ture regulated by good sense" Ma
caulay writes: "Politeness has been
well defined as benevolence in small
things" He did not originate this def
milton, but he gives 1t his approval.
Chesterfield claims that politeness
simply consists In treating others Just
as you love to be treated yourself" AS
to the practice Of politeness, the phil
osopher. Bacon, wrote: "The wise are
polite all the world over; fools are po-
lite only at home"

Scientific Expeditions Made Up
Of Men Who Are Trained
Biologists.
AMATEUR RUINS SKELETONS
American Museum Hunters Are Under
Direction OF Curator Of Fossil
vertebrat .s-Search Is Seri-
Gus Work.

washingfon.--The expedition OF the
American Auseum which for several
months has been searching for the
skeletons IF ancient animals In sand
stone quarry at Agate. Neb., has dis
covered tnany bones of the little rhinoc-
eros. The deposits containing these
home, have been cut into blocks which
wiz he shipped to the museum. where
tn bones will be placed on exhibition.
The little rhinoceros. or dicerather-
icm. as he is scientifically called. was
about the size OF n half grown calf
and roamed at large during the milo
Gene period. He had two horns side
by side In front of the skull Instead
Of one or of one behind the other. The
expedition has been working under the
direction of DIR. william ID. Matthew,
curator of fossil vertebrates at the
museum.
Few persons have any idea Of the
vast amount Of care and work that a
large scientific institution takes In
planning and preparing for an expedi-
tion which seeks the remains of these
ancient beasts In the hope that they
will shed additional light on the dim
md distant evolutionary periods of an
early world. They have various objec.
tives In view. Sometimes they are
planned to I'LL in a gap Of scientific
knowledge.
Must Know Many Things.
1t may be desirable to know what
animals inhabited particular region
which has remained unexplOred, or T.
find out what kind Of animals lived in
particular geological epoch, or to
trace the ancestry Of some species Of
animals back to geological times. A
scientist setting out on such an expedi.
tion must have as preliminary a
general knowledge Of geology. and of
the geology of the region which he
Is to explore He must be acquainted
with the areas where the formations
Of the geological period he is to visit
are to be found. He needs to have
many records Of fossils that have been
discovered in the past. Scientific insti-
buttons have many observations of the
occurrence of fossils In regions In
which they are Interested.
One Of the most remarkable fossil
birds ever discovered was brought to
light three years ago In the Big Horn
basin in an area which had been thor.
onghly explored by fossil hunters since
1891. and yet practically no trace OF
this great bird know as the diatryna
had heen found there.
American museum explorers have
gone over many old stamping grounds
which had been searched again and
again, and have discovered something
new.
1t is important that such kind OF
prospecting and mining be done by
trained men,. An inexperienced mar
who undertakes to remove such skele
tons is pretty sure to ruin them, ant
the chances are that he will render
them entirely worthless.

Dalrymple Receivers and Destroys
Wine

When the situation was reported to
Major Dalrymple he, together with a
force OF government agents, went to
Iron River to recover the wine and
arrest the local officials who had un-
lawfully taken it from the possession
OF the Federal Prohibition enforce
ment officer, Leo J. Grove. Before
going to Iron River Major Dalrylnplc
applied for warrants for the arrest OF
States Attorney McDonough and
other local officials, applying to
United States Commissioner Hatch
at Marquette. The warrants being
denied he proceeded to his destina-
ton. While enroutc Major Dalrym-
pic received telegram from his chief
in Washington asking him to exercise
due caution in order not to involve
his department with any other de-
partment in Washington. He there
fore decided not to arrest the offend
ing officials believing that another
form of procedure would prove more
effective. However, he proceeded to
Iron River, and found out where the
illegal wine which had been taken
away from a Federal officer in viola
ton of the Federal law, was hidden
by the local officials. Major Dal-
ryrnplc then recaptured and destroyed
the wine publicly in the streets of
Iron River. His main objective ac-
complished, Major Dalrymple and his
men returned to their headquarters in
Chicago.

4th voted against. the repeal of the
Nolstead Prohibition Enforcement
Act or to eliminate an appropriation
OF $4,500.000 for its administrations
The vote was on motion by Repre-
sentative Egan, Democrat, OF New

The biggest dry vote in the history of
the liquor struggle in Congress was

wet. Yates, Mann, Wilson, Chind-
