Most of ilit* books on etiquette d<*
vote Iboir :i 11t-iitloti to weddings, Imlls.
dlniiors mid funerals. I wish some
body would write 11 book on the eti
quette of every-day life.
I would like to see the public con
demn the rowdy who elbows others
aside, ( lumbers into a train and drops
himself down into a seat with a thud
that almost bounces Ills m Ittbbor out:
the thoughtless fellow who has the
window seat and spreads his newspa
per so as to shut off all the light. The
fellow who has something to say on
every subject that is brought up in a
meeting of any kind.
1 should like for the fellow who
stands with his month two feet from
my face talking fast and loud to he
in my place some time and let me
see him use Ids luindkerchief for u
while.
Experience is wliut many of us get
some times when we are looking for
something else.
A gentleman is a man who keeps
his promises made to those who an*
powerless to enforce them.
The signers of the Declaration of
Independence, the fathers of the Am
erican Revolution, did not attain the
lofty ideal which they visioned. We
have approached it nearer and near
er, Inti we have not yet reached it.
Until every American citizen declares
and wins Ids own independence from
petty political motives, selfishness and
indifference to the country’s welfare,
we cannot in truth is* a free people.
Upon the monument erected to the
late Senator Hoar, who represented
the state of Massachusetts in the Unit
|ical people of the community. The
(oil statiV* S-ynu|t<* for IwVnty-seviV
years, there is graven this declara
tion of ids jiolltical faith.
"I believe in God, the hiving God:
in the American people a free and
fbruve people who do not how the
neck or bend tlu* knee to any other,
and who desire no other to how the
neck or bend the knee to them.
“I believe that liberty, good govern
ment, free institutions cannot be giv
en to any one people to any other, but
must lie wrought out by each for it
self. slowly, painfully, in tlie process
of years or centuries, as the oak adds
ring to ring.
“I lieliere that whatever clouds may
darken the horizon, the world Is grow
ing better: that today Is better than
yesterday, and tomorrow will be bet
ter than today.”
