Real Generosity.
‘‘There goes the politest hobo
in Washington,” said the genial
looking man. according to the
New York Times.
“Oh. 1 don’t know; they’re all
polite enough when it comes to
that,” said his companion. ”1
never gave a nickel to a tramp in
my life without receiving his
’thank you.’”
“Oh. ‘thank you's’ don't count,”
said the genial man. My man
las risen far above ‘thank you.’
I handed him a quarter the oth
er day and he invited me to come
in and have a drink with him.
That is what I call true courtesy. ”

1 The Ten Demandments.
G In a salmon cannery in West
ern Canada is this bulletin:
For worldly wisdom it*,would
be difficult to surpass the “Ten
Demandments” hanging in one
of the many salmon canneries at
Steveston, Western Canada:
1. Don’t lie. It wastes my
time and yours. I am sure to
catch you in the end, and that is'
the wrong end. •
2. Watch your work and not
the clock. A long (hay’s work
makes a long day short; and a
short day’s work makes my J'aee
j long.
2. Give me more than I ex
pect, and 1 will give you more
than you expect. I can afford to
increase your pay if you increase
■ my profits.
1. You owe so much to your
self that you cannot afford to owe
anybody else. Keep out of debt,
or keep out of my shops.
f>. Dishonesty is never an ac
cident. Good men, like good
women, never see temptation
when they meet it.
6. Mind your own business,
and in time you’ll have a busi
! ness of your own to mind.
7. Don’t do anything here
which hurts your self-respect.
An employe who is willing to
steal for me, is willing to steal
from me.
>, 8. It is none of my business
1 what you do at night, hut if dis
sipation affects what you do next
1 day, and you do half as much as
1 I demand, you’ll last half as long
as you hoped.
9. Don’t tell me what I’d like
1 to hoar, but what I ought to hear.
I don’t want a valet to my vani
j ty, hut one for my dollars.
10. Don't kick if I kick. If
you’re worth while correcting
■ ] you’re worth while keeping. I
don’t waste time cutting specks
; out of rotten apples.
i If in need of the best in dry
i good and groceries, go to see the

BRANTLEY TO SPEAK
TO HONOR STEPHENS
1 At Unveiling of Tablet May
i
k! 22 at Richmond.
i Washington, D. C., March 7. —
! Congressman Brantley of Geor
gia has accepted an invitation to
attend the unveiling of a bronze
| tablet at Richmond on May 22 to
'the memory of Alexander H. j
Stephens.
This tablet has been erected
by the Daughters of the Confed
eracy on the spot where former
ly stood the residence of Mr.
Stephens while he was vice pres
ident of the Confederacy and
where is now the Southern Med
ical College.
It is strikingly appropriate that
the speech on the occasion of the
unveiling should bo made by a
Georgian and as Mr. Brantley
has the reputation of being a fin
ished orator he will doubtless
have a big audience to hear him.
Card of Thanks.

Whereas the good Lord in His
wisdom has seen fit to call our
beloved daughter and sister to
her reward, we take this method

itude to the kind friends of Tay
lor Springs settlement who so
kindly did all in their power dur
’ ing the recent brief illness of our
departed loved one to alleviate
1 her suffering. May God bless
: each and every one of you.

His Love Was Limited. \
; Lord Tankerville, who is send-;
ing his son to an American
r school, said the other day in
New York, according to the
j Tribune:
“There are too many English
. men and English boys as well
, who develop, in the presence of
, a lord, a painful and unnatural
, modesty. Their modesty reminds
me of a village tinker,
j “This tinker had a rather!
'crusty disposition, and his pastor
said to him one day:
‘My man, you should lovej
your neighbor as yourself.’
I “ ‘Yes, sir,’ said the tinker.
! “But the pastor had in mind a
nasty black eye that the tinker
had given the bricklayer next:
door, and so he went on:
“ ‘Do you, though: do you, hon
estly, love your neighbor as your
self?’
“ ‘Yes, sir; oh. yes, sir!’ said
the tinker. ‘But I’m a modest
man, ye see, and, to tell the
truth, 1 ain’t a bit stuck on my
self, sir.’ ”

There are few men in this :
, country fatter than President :
Taft and there are equally few :
who get more amusement out of :
their own avoirdupois, says the :
, Popular Magazine.
Senator Nathan B. Scott, who :
. always tries to get off something
, funny when he goes to the White :
i House, told Mr. Taft one day:
“You know, Mr. President, it
is a very usual thing for fat men '
‘ to get thin as they grow older.” ;
“Well,” replied the President ;
laughingly, “if that happens to ;
me it will give mean opportunity j
to see something of some old ac- :
' quaintances of mine.” |
“Who are they?” asked Air. ;
Scott.
“My ribs.” replied Mr. Taft, i
