GOOD MANNERS ON
THE STREETS

On the street, a man never takes
the arm of a woman he is escort
ing. He offers his own if he feels
that the woman needs his protec
ton.
Nor, in the daytime, does wo-
man take her escorts arm unless
she is aged, infrm, or again in
the event of some especial need
for protection.
In the evening the woman prop
erly accepts her escorts support
though she only rests the palm of
her hand lightly within his elbow,
without linking her arm through
his.
That's what the copy books say.
However, an engaged couple walk
ing down Lamar street is alta lib
erty to hang on, day or night
protection or no protection.
The rules come in handy later
on.

WE FALL INTO PITS
DUG FOR OTHERS

In the '"Green Goddess" the ra-
jah, acted by George Arliss, cum
ningly shows that there is no such
thing as government without the
consent of the governed, though
the people occasionally show great
stupidity in conserving to their be-
ing governed.
You see an illustration of this in
Holland, where Queen Wilhelmina
next September will celebrate the
25th anniversary of her growing.
She is a good queen, as queens
average. Many think her 'excep-
tionaliy able and wise. The Dutch,
however, are ruled by a queen on
ly because they tolerate it. Toll
Grafton is consent. They could
have a republic instead of govern
ment by royal family, if they
wanted it. The fact that they
maven republic proves that they
consent not to have it.
Even the czars Of Russia ruled
by consent Of their subjects. When
the majority Of the people with
drew their consent, the car sys-
tenn vanished like snow on a hot
stove. Consider the ease with which
the kaiser and his family were de-
throned when the Germans no
longer consented to being govern
ed. at9HI
Where you find a monarchy you
find people liking monarchy and
its trappings. They enjoy having
glittering leader sgmbolizing
their united power and ability to
support the magnificent. SO the
cheers are not forced when royalty
parades before the mob.

FAIR WEATHER
FOLLOWS THE STORM

In the distance you see fine
weather that follows in the wake
of every storm-bright sunshine,
freshened air, birds venuring from
cover.
Behind all. this is a principle
that has been apparent to philos-
ophers with healthy minds. The
principle is this: Every storm, no
matter how severe, is followed by
fine weather. ...
Fine weather and storms follow
each other in an eternal cycle or
endless chain. SO do night and
daylight, also winter and summer.
This is natural law. BY tae same
law, JOY and sorrow alternate, like
waves, through our lifetimes.
At the end Of it all, you will
realize that this contrast is neces-.
sary, to make US appreciate the
things warth while when we have
them. Change is an eternal pro-
cess, and its purpose is to provide
contrasts which give US valuable
experience, also wisdom, tolerance
and appreciation.
When discouraged, remember
that you are in a storm, with fair
weather and happiness sure to fol-
low.

Justin felt along the inert body.
He listened. At length:
NO, he's still breathing"
A silence during which Justin bent

place at the mans head and was lift

The y lifted the body and started
around the bill. The unconscious man
was scarcely over five feet five,
and slender, but as the distance be-
hind them lengthened Kate stagger-
ed under the weight. The footing
was uncertain. Darkness increased
the difficulty.
AS they walked, silence settled up
N them. Tehy could tell by the
feeling Of the fabric that the clothing
the man wore was of good quality.

MARRIAGE IN

In Southern Italy and Sicily, wo-

seclusion.
Frequently when the husband is
obliged to leave home he leaves his
wife under lock and key if she is
still young and beautiful.
This is not regarded as tyranny
but mark of affection.
In Americas, some wives might

feeling on the part of five ministers
attt rdipg the session, 1t Is SAID,
caus ID the subject to be considered.
At first it was proposed that an IN
sistent demand be made upon the
President and Attorney General Tor
the prisoners release, but finally II
was decided to appoint a committee to
draft a resolution to be presented to
the delegates for action.
The adoption of resolutions of po-
