Michael Angelo was at the height of
jjj g f a me, when monarc hs and people
were paying fabulou^ prices for his
works, a little boy met him in the
street, with an old pencil and a piece
of dirty brown paper and asked him
fora picture. The great artist sat on
the curbstone and drew a picture for
his little admirer.
A like charming story is told of
Jenny Lind, the great Swedish singer,
which shows her noble nature. Once
when walking with a friend she saw 7
an old woman t ottering into the door
of an alms-house. Her pity was at
once excited and she entered the door,
ostensibly to rest for a moment, but
really to give something to the poor
woman. To her surprise, the old
woman began at once to talk of Jenny
Lind, saying—
“I have lived a long time in the
world and desire nothing before I die,
but to hear Jenny Lind.”.
“Would it make you happy?” in¬
quired Jenny.
“Ay, that it would; but such folks
as I can’t go to the playhouse and so
I shall never hear her.”
"Don’t be sure of that,” said Jenny.
"Sit down my friend, and listen.”
She then sang, with genuine glee,
one of her best songs. The old woman
was wild with delight and wonder,
when she added—“Now you have
heard Jenny Lind.”
Sweeter than the perfume of roses
is a reputation for a kind, charitable,
unselfish nature; a ready disposition
to do the others any good turn in
y°ur power. “The mind’s sweetness,”
says Herbert, “has its own operation
oa th^ holy, clothes' a id habitation.”
So Car, antes spoke of one whose face
was like a benediction. “Good look¬
ing, Horace Smith remarks, “is
looking good,” “Be good,” says
ourAmesbury poet, “he womanly, be
gentle, generous in your sympathies,
heedful of the good breeding of all
around you—and you will not lack
kind words of admiration.”
Mas there ever an unselfish person,
of charitable and generoui impulses,
sociable, loving, kind, of tender sp rit,
thoughtful for others, who was not
universally the light-bearer. beloved? He, in leed, s

matter what their circumstances are,
they are joyous, content and satisfied
with everything. They carry a per¬
petual holiday in their eyes, and see
joy and beauty everywhere. When
we meet them they impress us with
having just having met with some
good luck, or as having some good
news to tell. Like the bees that ex¬
tract honey from every flower, they
have a happy alchemy which trans¬
mits even gloom into sunshine. In
the sick-room they are better than
the physician and more potent than
drugs. All doors open to these people.
They ax 7 e welcome everywhere.
The most fascinating person is al¬
ways the one of the most winning
manners; not the one of greatest phy¬
sical beauty. We do not need an in¬
troduction to feel his greatness, if you
meet a cheerful man on the street on
a cold day you seem to feel the mer¬
cury rise several degrees.
The two main characteristics of a
lady or a gentleman are, according to
Lari Bacon’s field, propriety and con¬
sideration for others. “Will you fall
into any extreme?” asks LaSales;
“let it be on the side of gentle'ness.”
How 7 appropriate are such sentiments
for household mottoes! “Let each
one strive to yield oftenest to the
wishes of the other,” in absolute un¬
selfishness. “Never part without
loving words.”
The following was found in an old
manor-house in Gloucestershire, Eng¬
land, written and framed and hung
over the mantel-piece of a sitting
room: “The true gentleman is God’s
servant, the world’s master, and his
ow r n man. Virtue is his business;
study, his recreation; contentment,
his rest; and happiness his reward;
God is his Father; Jesus Christ, his
Saviour; the saints, his brethren; and
all that need him, his friends. Devo¬
tion is his ehapian; chastity, his
chamberlain; sobriety, his butler;
temperance, his cook; hospitality, his
housekeeper; Providence, hisstew 7 ard;
charity, his treasurer; piety, his mis¬
tress of the house; and discretion, his
porter to let in or out, as most fit.
Thus is his w 7 hole family made up of
virtue and he is master of the house.
He is necessitated to take the world
on his way to Heaven and he walks
through it as fast as he can, and all
his business by the way is to make
himself and others happy. Take him
in two words—man and Christian.”—

LIFE IN MEXICO.
Where They Bar the Windows and
Leave the Doors Open.
The City of Mexico swarms with lift*,
yet it Is still life. It is the hour of the
siesta when you arrive and the streets
are deserted of moving things, though
every darkened doorway possesses its
own colony of slutnberers who have
cast themselves down where they
stood to sleep away the heat laden
hours when no man works. Even the
very dogs slink into the shadow of the
dazzling walls and loll pitifully. The
tinkle of mule bells is hushed. The
cry of the muleteer sounds no longer.
To walk through these streets with im¬
perious foot, after the British fashion,’
seems sacrilege. One might be walk¬
ing through a city of the dead.'
But the hot hours pass, the city
awakens, the mules strain and plunge
at the collar, the dogs prowl about be¬
tween the legs of those who pass, the
shops are opened, the scent of garlic
saturated cookery rises strongly, man¬
tilla shrouded faces peep from ancient
caseinates protected by massive Iron
bars, and the city of sleep becomes a
city of leisurely wakefulness. You no¬
tice these barred casemates particular¬
ly. They tire ft feature of Mexico.
Householders bar the windows and
leave the doors unfastened, and here
you have an epitome of Mexican char¬
acter; Do nothing openly, everything
on the sly, even to wooing your lady¬
love.
You might spend a long lifetime in
the City of Mexico and still leave
much unseen, there are so many fea¬
tures to note—the actual city life, the
life beyond those jealously guarded
windows, the life lived In the flowef
scented patios where cooling fountains
play with musical softness. Here
comes n vaquero riding nonchalantly*
up the street, a typical product of
Mexico, a cattle hand front one of the
outlying, ranches, a perfect fury un¬
chained when the liquor of the coun¬
try is in him, a gentle, dreamy child
when the liquor has evaporated, and
yet between the two events he might
have committed a dozen murders with¬
out the slightest compunction. His
swarthy face is alight with merry
laughter. Ilis earrings sparkle in (he
declining sun. The gay trappings of
fills magnificent horse fling back daz¬
zling specks of color. In his cha
parajos (those fringed overalls which
protect the speckless white riding
breeches from the dust of the way),
his bell buttoned Jacket, his sombrero,
with the haft of a machete protruding
from his crimson sash, he might be a
hero of old legend Instead of a com¬
monplace cowboy. Frank H. Shaw in
Chambers’ Journal.
Why Men W esr Trousers.
No living man of this age ever de¬
liberately chose to “adopt trousert.”
He was forced Into them and all other
eccentricities of dress by woman. In
the very earliest sartorial experience
of every man he is swathed in a queer
bundle*of incoherent bandages by a
woman. Later she puts him into cute
little dresses so that the neighbors
can’t tell him front his little sister.
Still later she cuts off his curls and
puts him into knickerbockers, and lie
puts on “long pants” when she gives
the word and not before. That is all
that man has to do or ever had to do
with wearing trousers. Woman forced

On August 1 7 th, at 10 o’clock, I will sell to the highest bidder,
at my old home place, in Newton county, the three fine farms
shown in the above plat. This is my old home place sub¬
divided into three convenient and desirable farms. This is some
of the most valuable farm lands in Newton county. It is a rich
mulatto soil and very productive. It is well situated, being on
the new Covington road and the Covington and Lawrenceville
road. Has R. F. D. service and there are schools and churches
within a short distance. The new Covington road passes thru
each of these farms, and teere are other good roads, making it
easily accessible from all directions. There is abundant water
and timber supply, about 20 per cent, of each farm being in fine
original forest. These are selfsustaining farms and the man who
is looking for an ideal country home or for a paying land invest¬
ment can’t afford to miss this sale. There are few desirable
farms like these on the market today. In fact these would not
be for sale but for the fact that I am so far from them as to
make it impossible to give them hardly any attention.
Terms of Sale
I have made the terms easy so that this land will pay for itself. The terms are
as follows: 5 per cent, of the price on delivery of band for title. I will accept
a good note for the 5 per cent, due Dec. I, 1909.
Note for 20 per cent, of price due Jan. 1, 1910.
“ “ 25 “ “ “ “ “ Jan. 1, 1911.
“ “ 25 “ “ “ “ “ Jan. 1, 1912.
“ “ 25 “ “ “ “ “ Jan. 1, 1913.
All notes to bear interest at the rate of 8 per cent.
Remember this land goes to the highest bidder. Dan’t forget tha date aid place.
