Columbia State. The Various Kinds. Suiiie days we have a run "f very pleasant visitors in the York News of-. III.- ami a day or so later we ?rah off a b limit of the blgKent soreheads any business house ever had to contend tvith. One man tells us he likes the |ia|M*r One ami even though he quits his subscription right then and there, yet during the remainder of the day It makes us feel mighty go<si. The next man comes In and tolls us that he don't like the paper at all ami If he could do any better he would not take It. and then winds up by paying his subscript Ion. it noes without saying that we like the llrst man quite a lit tie better. However, those two lllurtj t rations arc hut Indicative of human nature. When kind words and' pleasant smiles do so much good, yet cost noth ing.. why don't we turn more of them loose? Why will we harbor a [suit up. grouchy feeling when we. ourselves <?21 ii feci a buoyant spirit kicking our Insldes to get put. and when we know we would feel better If we let It out ? at least to graze around nearby? Some one has said : "Them's so much good III the worst of us, and so mueh bad in the best of us that It llt tle behiMives -any of us to talk about the rest of Us." That f?*llovv was right. No one is xxhollx had. No one is hopelessly .'rmnity or even tmiaticholy. The trou ble with us is we're so wrapped tip In ourselves, in our own thoughts, that uc fall to consider any one else. The a venule pi ? r son is not only- friendly, l>ul i- reall.x sympathetic when he real izes his friendship or sympathy Is needed. l,et death xisii a home, and tin* survivors discover warm hearts In <otiN they had always thought frigid. | (et tiro wipe out a family's dwelling a nd it is at once the recipient of fa vo|-s it had never .believed possible. Hut why do we wait for misfortune to overtake our acquaintances before we consider them'' uftime.s there are sorrow ful and depressed hearts in our mid-t of which we do not know. Kind words and smiles, if iriven freely, if uiven always, will often strike in one of ihc-c places, and the comfort it L'i\es i< much. And too. the sinilim.' f :o ? ainl cheerv dispos.it ion are their own reward Show lis the man or wo man who smiles, always and speaks kimll.v and we will show you a person whose friends are numbered h% the ?tc'pia tntamvs he or she may have.

CONVERSATION STOCKING. Mt'proar Hosier)'" May Cause Many a Man to Take to Drinking. New York, Feb. 16.? They call them "con versa tioii stockings." Some, of them might be called with perfect propriety "uproar hosiery." They are designed to start a system of ballroom semaphore signals. They are also especially calculated to start a long line of gay gentlemen on the road to those antialcoholic resorts where bichloride of gold is used to hanish a taste for strong drink. The swagger hosiery shops of Fifth avenue have already hegun ty display the styles, which come to us by way of Palm Beach. At the resort down in alligator land they attained their greatest notoriety and have attracted the most attention. The conversation slocking .carries along its front elevation some word, usually just the opposite to- the- word that the mate hears. So that if what Mr. Tad calls a "Jane" wishes to sig mil across the ballroom that a danc ing partner ,1s welcome, all she has to do is to catch his eye and then un drape that stocking which hears the signal' that the block section Is clear and the right of way undisturbed. On the other hand ? or the other limb ? If the would-be dancing part ner doesn't suit the young woman's fancy she lets the skirt curtain fall on the invitation side of the sketch and displays the stocking which means, that the young man will have to hunt a friendlier stocking. One fothe new designs pictured in New York today shows the words. "Thank you." worked along one stock ing. The Inscription. "Howdy-do," adrons the other. . Some of them bear the token. "(Jood night." which Is taken as meaning that the man who sees it must mose along and peddle his papers. Hut these in scriptions are only starters. The gid dy hosiery carries along pretty nearly all of the animal collection that wan dered out into the Caucasus from Mt. Ararat when Noah let down the bars. Fancy a pretty girl with rather' at tractive personality clothed in stock ings that wene decorated with snakes. Yes, sir. lifelike looking reptiles! - ' ? ? ??' ?
