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. ” Full line of Butterick patterns and publications at Mrs. J. L. Adams’. Call and get free fashion sheet or send in your name,on a postal.

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 Soperton Grocery Co. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1912. 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.

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.’ ” ■—> J Still to Memory Dear. 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 j: Order your Saw Teeth from the ; • Vidalia Machinery & Farm Im plement Co., Yidalia, Ga. j; *43d(S& < OF KlUg* Immm PIIRPC lily wßmm liUnCd -*ra - ' «Hir typaK'am«u»iJL —i 'tir-tv—a——— ICiPICi’S yriii ni€PAVED¥ NtW UlSvUvtiff for COUGHS and COLDS.
