A MATTER OF MANNER.
The Man Who I'nti'rtuins a
(imuih will lixpress IlisOruuih
v hen lie Opens Ilia Mouth.
Ii wus Jurini! rhc busiest hour
for ihe strait ars-niul for street
ear p.iiroic; h wus sifter ilic work
i ii ii il;iy wus ceded mid hundreds
of people win 'i 'I lo net home,
suys iin exchiiiiKi.'.
Due stiiTtc.ir u.is luirly well
lilleil. People 'A ere sl.iiiilini; and
Ii il.;iii4 ilie Mr.ips.
"Move on up there!" suul ilie
e inductor. I lis voiee wus hursli
anil hi, words were s;iveii more
like mi order limn as n suggestion
or a n quest. The people in the
aisle did hoc budge. Nobody moved
up toward die from.
"Gel on up ihere!" again order
ed ilie eomlucior. Bui again no
body moved toward die from of
Ilie ear in make room for people
who warned to get home on the
ear jnsi us much us did the ones
who happened to be on.
Hut there was another car, on
another line. People were stand
ing in the aisle of this car also and
some were holding to die straps.
"Please move up a little in front"
said the conductor. "There are
some women who want to get in.
Thanks." He spoke like a human
being. His last meal must have
limited with him. There was no
pickle expression with his words.
And the people moved up in
front. They made room for a
number of folks who wanted lo get
home. And the people in the ear
were beginning lo acta linle happy
and jolly despite the inconveni
ences of travel which accompany a
snowed-in winter.
All of which goes to show that
the matter of manner has some
thing lo do with it A grouch ex
presses himself when he talks.
And a happy, good natured man
also expresses himself when he
talks. Polks were made that way.
They cannot help it. It is the
same with telephone operators,
elevator men in the office build
ings, drug clerks, cigar clerks, em
ployes of the big stores, school
teachers, lawyers and all others.
The man who entertains a grouch
will express his when he opens his
mouth and the people will usually
nut do more than they have to do
to help him out. And the man
whose insides are humming with
joy and whose good disposition
supply is so large that it just seems
to bubble over well, .his disposi
tion is just as catching as a yawn.
But lliis isn't aimed ai street car
conductors They are in the mi
nority. It is aimed in the whole
common people set. The young
woman can go about the kitchen
work after breakfast in such a way
as to make mother happy; or she
can siari in such a manner as to
generate a grouch in the whole
household, u grouch which will last
during iiio-i of the remainder of
the day. And if dad decided to
muss things up at the house by in
forming ma thai ihe pancakes
would make good shoe leather, he
will not only make ma unhappy
for ihe day but he will discovtr
that he liiuisell is unable to work
u,i to Ins UMial capacity or live up
to Ins real capacity.

AVERAGES
The new year hasn't fooled me none, it's like I knowed 'twould be;
There ain't no year sence I've been growed put nolhin' over me;
No year has disappointed me: when there's a rainy day
It's plum all right, because 1 knowed some would be that-away;
And when the sun is shinin' bright, an' some bird sings a song,
I say to them, "Well here you be, I knowed you'd be along,"
And when the days are cold I knew some of 'em would be cold,
And some sunsets I knowed would be as red as ruddy gold.
The fellers that expected the year'd be a perfect thing,
That every day the sun would shine, and birds would always sing,
And there would be no rain ai all, and winds would bring perfume,
And everywhere along their ways there'll be wild-llowers bloom,
And no one would be ever sad, or be misunderstood
And everybody would be glad and business be good,
They are the disappointed ones I ain't got time for such
They do not git much out of life, for they expect too much.
I knowed the year could never be a letter-perfect thing,
1 knowed there would be days and days when not a bird would sing;
And that's the way I size up men, 1 know they're middlin' good,
I know my friends ain't perfect men; that bein' understood
I kin look for the good in ihem, and pass shortcomings by,
As I pass by the clouds that come across the summer sky;
An tukin things on average, as 1 vesaid to my wite,
Has helped me gel a heap of good and happiness from life.
DIXIE LAND.
PROM THE WINDOW OP A TRAIN.
Before me, like the picture on the screen,
Plash rippling brooks and fields of waving green,
Whilst in the far-flung distance, lone and bare,
The mountains peer from out their clouded lair,
The cypress and the maple, verdure shed,
Siand, stark and still and silent as the dead.
A mat of multi colored flowers below,
Soft drapes the field where fabled faries go
liach night to serenade beneath the trees,
And drink, from silver cups, the incensed breeze,
Or maybe, who can tell what faries do,
To wait the morn and sip the pearling dew
OF flowers rich. The sun, a ruby red,
Glows in the west, where colors garlanded,
Steal out through space to fondle and caress
The lone clouds, in their virgin loveliness.
High, on the wing, in richest notes, and rare
A wild-bird fills ihe cool autumnal air
With melody divine. Across the way
A mother watches her children play.
Whilst down the winding pike, soft eyed and glad,
A maiden walks to meet her Southern lad.
And as I sit here in this southbound train,
It seems as though the loneliness and pain
Of blasted hopes and youthful promises slain,
Soften since earth was earth, the eyes of man
Have ne'er beheld a more delightful span
Than these soli skies and colored hills so grand,
Oh Lord it is, it is thy promised land.
Tom Skeyhill, the Soldier Poet.

A Socialist was talking at the
Colony club about girls' schools.
"Ultrafiishionable girls schools
dni'i like," she said. "They
itiieaie a girl in everything but an
education.
"Two housemaids were talking
once about their misircss daughter,
who had just returned from one ol
these ultrafushinmible schools.
" 'What's thai new course Miss
Marie is taking?" the first maid
asked.
" '1 ihink,' said ihe second
maid, 'I think the name of it's

when he gits back home -from the
land thai we live on lo the honey

in ihe country that ihey is let him
look like he wains 'cm, an' they'll
he his! That's the way we're
feehn'. We're here 10 make a
luss, with the highest hallelujahs,
'bout the boys that fought fer usl
ALL DISSATISFIED.
Wherever We Are, We Want to
Be Somewhere Else.
Whorovor we are in thin
world we want to be somewhere
else, I havo a letter from a
country boy who want to live
in the city, ''where things are
doing," 1 know hiu preKonl
setting; a place where the neeiU
and comforts of man are sup
plied with the slightest effort.
ttts placid, sun-baked village,
in its park-like setting limpHus
the idealist's vision of the per
fect life in perfect peace. All
this seemed to have palled on
the taste of the young man and
he yearns for the contentious,
busy and dirty city.
We all have visions of the
peace and contentment of the
country ; the scent of the woods,
songs of the birds, the
drone of the bees, the roses, the
grateful greenery, and maybe
a cowbell tinkling somewhere.
We have sensed this all, per
haps, in vacation time and
thought it was paradise for two
or three days, after which we
began to get homesick for the
city noise anil trouble. This is
the goal men speak of as desir
able; peace, abundance, quiet
ude body and mind at rest in
natuie's setting yet here is a
boy, reared in this elysium.who
wants to get away from it and
come to the noise and dirt and
selfishness of the big city,
Probably the Utopia to which
so many of us aspire would not
be entirely satisfactory if we
possessed it. The quietude of
a country village or a country
place or a country town is often
very dull. There are no daily
sensations, no scandals, no
banner heads in the daily news
papers to interest one,
The high spot in the day is
when you go down to the post
ofliee for the mail, or barter
with the country store for cod
fish and mutches. Tho weather
is the leading topic of conver
sation; there are no very rich
or very poor persons in the
community: the population is,
perhaps, at a colorless dead
level of mediocrity; there are
no millionaires to Haunt their
wealth, no liveried coachman,
no "airs" no aristocracy or
proletariat.-
T he rural conditions are what
the idealists seem to be driving
at, yet here is a boy willing to
give it all up for the city. Is
it possible that ease and eon.
Icntmont pall on the taste, and
that man is better satisfied
when he is meeting some dis
comfort and discouragement in
the baltlelield ? Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
