FRANKNESS OF MANNER. .
There is no More Delightful Trait
In Either Young or Old.
;uccess.
There is no more delightful trait
in the voung or the old than absolute
frankness and openness of nature,
that transparency of character which
lets 11; See the bczt and the worst in
them, their strong and their weal
points without any effort at conceal
inent.
Everybody admires the opei he:rt
ed, the people who have nothing to
conceal, and who do not try to cover
up their faults and weaknesses. They
are, as a rule, large hearted and
magnanimous. They inspire love and
confidence, and by their very frank
ness and simplicity, invite the same
oualities in others.
Secretiveness repels as much as
frankness attracts. There is some
thing about the very inclination to
conceal or cover up which arouses
suspicion and distrust. We cannot
have the same confidence in people
who possess this trait, no matter how
good they may seem to be, as in
frank, sunny natures. Dealing with
these secretive people is like travel
ing on a stagecoach on a dark night.
There is always a feeling of uncer
tainity. We may come out all right
but there is a lurking fear of some
-pitfall or unknown danger ahead of
us. We are uncomfortable because
-of the uncertainties. They may be all
Tight, and may deal squarely with us,
but the trouble is that we are not
sure, and cannot trust them. No mat
ter how polite or gracious a secretive
-person may be, we can never rid
ourselves of the feeling that there is a
-motive behind his graciousness, and
that he has an ulterior purpose in
view. He is always more or less of
an enigma, because he goes through
life wearing a mask. .He endeavors
to hide every'trait thit is not favor
able to himself. Never, if he can help
it. do we get a glimpse of the real
man.
How different the man who comes
out in the open, who has no secrets,
who reveals his heart to us and who
is frank, broad and liberal! How
quickly he wins our confidence! How
we all love and trust him! We for
give him for many a slip or weakness
because he is always ready to con
fess his faults and to make amends
for them. If he has bad qualities
they are always in sight, and we are
ready to make allowances for them.
His heart is- sound and true; his sym
pathies are broad and active. The
very qualities he possesses-frankness
and simplicity-are conducive to the
growth of the highest manhood and
womanhood.
Practiced Under Difficulties.
Buffalo Engmurer.
"Don't try to make musicians out of
all children indiscriminately and thus
you will avoid such houschold con
verstions as one I overheard the oth
er day." said Baron Kaneko of Japan,
who has been spending the sureme
in the Maine woods.
"I was on a train and a father and
his young son sat near me. The fa
ther said:
- John, do you practice regularly
on the piano while I am away at
business?'
"'Yes father,' replied the boy.
"'Every day?'
"'Yes, sir.'
"'How long did you practice to
day?'
"'Three hours.'
"'And how long yesterday?'
"'Two hours and a half.'
"Well," I'm glad to hear that you
are so regular.'
"'Yes, father.'
" And the next time you practice
he sure to unlock the piano. Here is
the key. I locked the instrument last
week andl I have been carrying the
key in my pocket ever since."
Echoes of Fashion.
No halfway pre'vai.ls in fan's. They
are either very. .-iai or *xtremely
a rge.
1;ark an;d -.ii!cecombs for thne ci
ur' veuiformnly worn are of shell
with &io d mouintinlgs, enriched with
peari. or lamondIUs, but variations
upon the-e styleS are many-.
VW. y striking are the bright red
-ir*diies havin g a conventio'nal design
cut steel.
the smartest materials for ceremon
ious costumes.
The low cut, exaggerated type of
straight fronted corset is quite out of
the running. The cultivation of the
waist has again set in.
Startling contrasts. such as dahlia
wver mauve. red and nile green. violet
and reseda. brown and rose, enter
into the new color scheme.
SoCe of the braidings on dressv
tailr made gowns are elaborate. but
much of the smartness is centered in
the waistcoats.
A flowered silk velvet how in the.
hat of the same material as the fancv
waistcoat is a smart new conceit.
One Shot Kills 39 Rabbits.
New York Herald.
The killing of 39 jack rabbitts at
one shot by a woman who poked a
gun barrel throu'h her kitchen win
dow. winning a barrel of Baldwin ap
ples as a wager from her husband. is
a story that is causing interest here.
It was during the deep snow of
last week. The woman sprinkled a
bushLl of oats in a path in range of
the ki:chen window. The rabbits
gathered by the score, until there
was a long row of them eating oats
by the bright moonlight. The wo
man fired and her aim was accurate.
The dead rabbits, it is said, weighed
300 pounds. The woman sold enough
rabbit to buy herself a new bone cut
ter, and then cut up the remainder
and fed them to her flock of chickens,
which m'eans lots of eggs, for noth
ing, it is said, put a hen in the mood
of breaking the egg trust quicker
than crushed jack rabbit.
Practical Mathematics.
Freddie was a bright boy, and at
seven years of age was'well-grounded
in the rudiments of mental arithme
tic. It was the delight of his father
to try to puzzle him with exercises
of his own invention. *
One afternoon in summer he
swooped down upon poor Freddie as
he was playing, and setting him upon
his knee attempted to "phow off" his
brilliant son for the benefit of a vis
iting friend.
"Now, Freddie," he said, "how
much are two plus two?"
"Four," grudgingly admitted Fred
die, gazing after his happy compan
ions on the lawn.
'Well, if I gave you two apples and
two plums, how many would you
have ?"
"Four," said Freddie, beginning to
wriggle away.
"Four whats?" asked his father,
taking a firm hold of the squirming
youngster.
"Four," obstinately repeated Fred
die.
"Four what?" insisted his father.
"You can't go till you tell me."
Freddie flashed a disgusted look
upon his parent. "Four stomach
aches, if you must know!" he said,
and was gone.
Spontaneous Irish Wit.
American travelers in Ireland
make a point of extracting spontan
ous Irish wit, and often are reward
ed.
Cyrus W. Field, of Atlantic cable
fame, once stopped a peasant to make
inquiries about Blarney Castle. Re
ceiving the information, he gave the
Irishman the following conundrum:
"Now, Mike, suppose that Lucifer
was sure of us both: Which would he
take first, do you think?"
The Irishman looked thoughtfully
for a moment, then said: "Yer
honor, I think he'd take me."
"Why." asked Field.
"Because he's always sure of you."
On another occasion a well-known
Amenrican writer for young people,
upon landing at Queenstown, was on
the alert to hear an Irish bull or some
witty remark. She took an express
train to Dublin direct, which did not
stop at any other station on the way.
Several persons mistook the train and
rose to get off when nearing one of
the way stations.
"Keep yer sates!" roared the con
(uctor. "Keep yer sates! This thrain
niver ~cps at all."
True Heroism.
.\ remark.abl. incident of onVe of
th Prt .\rthur fiihts is the follow
ing: Du~ring an attack a Japanese
* :icer wa~ shot and lax' a whole
night in a trench. In the morning a
Russian .oidier enltered the earth
work and begani to examine the dead.
The soldier himself was blnedino
freely, one of his ears havir; been
severed. He speedily fotui( the
wounded Japanese. examined his in
juries, took him in his arms and car
ried him to the Japanese trenches,
where both received a joyful wel
c0me. and the wuinds of both were
cired f,ir. The story is vouched for
by Ar. Viliers. the English artist

$1.20 per gallon.
Don't pay $T.5o a gallon for Lin
