Good breeding, as thai term is
applied to personnel, conduct and
behaviour, is not a thing which is
monopolized by the millionaires
or those who pride themselves on
being of the aristocracy. Good
breeding can as well be found in
the cottage of the peasant as in the
palace of the king. "High socie
ty" does not necessarily mean that
good breeding goes with it,
Good breeding, of course, marks
the home and the training, though
there are people whose rise above
their environment and from, rough
homes find place in the world as
being noted for their good breed
ing, for the excellence of their
manners, their behaviour. There
is no mistaking the well bred and
refined men or women, for they
walk in the midst of noise and gar
ishness and rudeness and uncouth
ness with a calmness of demeanor
and a perfecmess of deportment
which gives them a place apart.
Lately we came across a clipping
from the Irish World which had in
it so many hints for the making of
a well bred person that we must
passs it along. Of course it does
not set out all the requisites, but so
many of them that it will be an ad
vantage to read over the list and
check it up so as to see where we
fail to determine to remedy the
matter.
"If you are well bred," says the
Irish World:
You will be kind.
You will not use slang.
You will try to make others hap-
py.
You will never indulge in ill-
natured gossip.
You will never forget the respect
due to age.
You will not swagger and boast
of your achievement,
You will not measure your civil
ity by people's bank accounts.
You will be scrupulous in your
regard for the rights of others.
You will not forget engagements
promises or obligations of any
kind.
You will never make fun of the
peculiarities or idiosyncrasies of
others.
You will never under any cir
cumstances cause another pain if
you can help it.
You will not think that "good
intentions" compensates for rude
or gruff manners.
You will be as agreeable to your
social inferiors as to your equals
and superiors.
You will not have two sets of
manners, one for "company" and
one for home use.
You will never remind a cripple
of his deformity or probe the sore
spots of a sensitive soul.

LAND 'O DREAMS.
It seemed a thousand years ago and it was twenty, maybe,
And what now seems a fairy isle was but a simple farm;
But, oh, the rose-lit rapture, when in dreaming 1 remember
The way the huddled maples held the old house close and warm.
.There were doves around the eaves, and cattle on the hillside,
And little lambs that nuzzled in the fragrant clover fields.
I remember how we watched them in the purple light, together
Strange what a plenteous harvest each deep-sown memory yields !
And then theIong, brown, winding road, and you were gone so swiftly,
It seemed the night had settled, though the sun was golden-bright;
And I have cried your name aloud how foolish Youth can suffer !
When all was still and silent on the kindly arm of Night.
It seems a thousand years ago and it was twenty, maybe,
A deathly, deep tranquility of slow years has been born;
But, oh, dear Brushwood Boy of mine, I ask; do you remember
The way the sunset deepened on the gilded rows of corn ?
Southern Woman's Magazine.
GROWING OLD.
A little more tired at close of day,
A little less anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold and blame,
A little more care of a brother's name;
And so we are nearing the journey's end,
Where time and eternity meet and blend.
A little more love for the friends of youth,
A little less zeal for established truth;
A little more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away,
And passing in silence at close of day.
A litttle less care for bonds and gold,
A little more zest in the days of old;
A broader view and a saner mind,
A little more love for all mankind;
And so we are faring adown the way
That leads to the gates of a better day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen;
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long loved and dead;
And so we are going, where all must go,
To the place the living may never know.
ARRANGING YOUR FATE.
"First Say to Yourself What You
Would Be, and Then Do What
You Have To Do."
Many parents become much dis
tressed upon the question what
trade or profession they should se
lect for their boys. Here is a bit
of wisdom: "First say to yourself
what you would be, and then do
what you have to do." The idea
is, you cannot plan your life from
the start. It will get its scope and
direction when one starts his life.
What he does is determined by
what there is to do and what is at
tractive at the time he is called up
on to act.
The only preparation for life is
entirely personal making oneself
faithful, courageous, diligent, self-
reliant, thoughtful, unselfish in
fine, to make a true man of one
self, and then he is prepared for
the conditions that confront him
in the future. If he becomes a
farmer, a doctor, a mechanic, a
banker, or what not, he will need
in all these directions manly qual
ities before special instructions, for
the latter takes wings and flies away
at the first temptation.
Kpictetus has it done fine, "and
then do what you have to do;"
but there is no following that ad
vice wise unless manhood answers
the call. Wait and see what the
world has for you before you take
to a rut, but in the meantime rec
ollect that moral quality is far
ahead of expert knowledge. Ohio
State Journal.
No man can win success unless
he is in love with his work.
Instead of wearing a laurel
wreath the modern poet struggles
along without a haircut.
Fortuate is he who sees the poin t
of a joke instead of feeling it.
To have what you want is
wealth; to do without is power.
It is a sign of rain when some
one hypothecates your umbrella.
SOME DISAGREEMENT.

FOR FLETCHER'S
C A ST OR I A
A uewspaper man was on the
witness stand and the attorney was
trying to find out something about
him.
"Where did you work last?"
he asked.
"On the Milwaukee Sentinel."
"Why did you leave ?"
"The editor and I disagreed on
a national political question.
"Where did you work next?"
"On the New Orleans Times."
"Why did you leave?"
"The editor and I disagreed on
a national political question."
This was the reply in every in
stance, and the judge took a hand.
"What was this national political
question?" he asked, "upon
which you could never agree with
your chiefs.?''
"Prohibition." Albany Press.
THEY OFTEN DO THAT. O
A certain politician has the hap
py knack of being able to parry in
convenient interruptions with some
smart retort that immediately
squashes the opposition. He was
speaking at a rather noisy meeting
not long ago and after a short time
a big lump of wood was thrown at
him. Fortunately the aim was bad,
and fell harmlessly on the platform.
The speaker picked it up and
showed it to the audience.
"Good heavens!" he exclaimed,
in tones of mock anxiety, "one of
our opponents has lost his head!"

HIS JOLTED PRIDE.
Owing to the war a wealthy
Bostonian, deprived of his sum
mer trip to Europe, went to the
Panama-Pacific Exposition in its
stead. Slopping off at Salt Lake
City he strolled about the city and
made the acquaintance of a little
Mormon girl.
"I'm from Boston," he said to
her, l"I suppose you don't know
where Boston is ?"
"Oh, yes, I do," answered the
little girl eagerly. "Our Sunday
school has a missionary there,"

A dozen "Do's" for church go
ing have been prepared by the
Rev. C. L. Peck, nf Cleveland.
Here are his "Do's" for young
men :
Demand a strict account of the
little things in life.
Build your fortune in good man
ners. Tact and common sense are the
secret of a successful life.
Have grit and pluck.
Live within your means. Ex
travagance is the road to failure.
Make the goal of your life great
er than wealth.
Seek first the kingdom of Heav
en and make a Christian life your
foundation.
Be on time.
Always wear a smile in the home
office or factory. You must take
your joy to Heaven with you, for
you will not find it there.
Be prepared for your job.
Have respect for honesty.
