A company in New York City recently conducted a civility campaign among its employes, in which it tried to train them in courteous ways of dealing with the public. Many letters were receive.! expressing thanks from people who were pleased by cases of thoughtfulness on tho part of these employes. The idea is being taken up in other places. Millions of people have a per petual grouch with life. If you ask them any question in regard to their work, they respond with curt answers that tell you noth ing of what you wanted to know, and give you the impression that your queries were foolish and annoying. Railroad companies used to have many people of that type. Their brakemen would yell out the names of stations in an inarticulate voice that no one could understand. Then if you asked them any questions they would almost snap your head off. Most public service corpora tions have learned in these times that good manners conciliate public sentiment, and are one of the best investments that a com pany can make. Store clerks in many places have had a reputa tion for incivility. Many big city stores have employed a class oi young people who are not interested in their work, who watch the clock all the time and are concerned only with the diversions that begin when work is done. They wait on customers in a perfunct ory manner, and are particularly disagreeable in dealing with peo ple who are plainly dressed. It has been one of the aims of the business men of Roseburg to train up a group of store people who have smooth and friendly manners and helpful ways. No special civility campaign has ever been promoted here, but our merchants have done their best to make every week in the year Civility week. The fat reducing class being conducted in New York as an exhibition for a health convention, finds plenty of folks who will deny themselves rich fare and go through toilsome exercises to drop some of their flesh. They do not seem to sympathize with the ancient philosopher who said "Laugh and grow fat." Yet many people are working in gymnasiums to get rid of flesh Sometimes the harder they work, the more appetite they develop and the more flesh they pile up. And meanwhile the slim crowd eat and eat, and remain skinny. "Which of you by taking though' can add one cubit to his stature"? says the Bible. It is equally difficult to get rid of one's stature when there is too much of it The people who from their youth have walked and played ou doer games commonly prevent needless accumulations of flesh and never have to pull dreary chest weights to get rid of then heavy burden. o If th club women of the nation have their way the disarma ment cor.fororce r.ocn to convene at Washington, D. C will round out a program that spells defeat for nny future program that ha? for i'.n purpose c!eath-dcaling warfare among the nations of the world.

She did not a single time say, "I'll tell the world," or "enn you Imagine." She was not chewing cum and she hated cigaret tes. Though It was only the first lime I had seen her, she did not serearn when I kissed her thrice. She even seemed to enjoy. She was to delightfully different. She was two months old. HK KNKW HOW.

The fire department was called out at about 6 o'clock this morning for a small fire at the Pcrrin Bhoe 1 stoi on Cass street. When the pro- prleior of tho store left last night he i believed the fire to be out in the , stove and tossed his apron upon it. , It apparently smouldered fo- a short! time and then dropped to ti.e floor, where a hole a couple of feet In di-1 ameter was burned but no serious damage done. A pedestrian passing! this morning noticed the fire and ' turned in an alarm and the blaze was quickly extinguished by tho fire department after the firemen forced their way into the building. Had there been a window open so that the flames could secure more air a bad fire would probably have been the result. FOIR 1 'I 'It tut A&if &tV 3" - - v.
