Something gives it such a very
Cold and keep-your-distance look.
1 dislike the imputation
Of its ladylike design,
For it bears no close relation
To things masterful and fin«.
But 1 like to hear it spoken!
When some fellow calls to me,
Then it seems a happy token
Of what friendship ought to he;
Then I feel that I’ve been greeted
As a comrade and a pal.
And I’m sure that I’ll be treated
Just like Jim and Tom and AL
Yes, I’d rather have men hail me
In that warm familiar way
Than to have them all assail me
With a “mister” every day.
Any man may greet another

Asserts That Poverty
Is Punished as Crime
It is a common cant phrase among
the comfortable classea that poverty is
not a crime. Like moat cant phrases.
It Is a lie. Poverty is a crime, or the
World would not punish It so severely.
Any mau who has been poor—i do not
wean “Lard up’’ or short of money,
but actually poor, and born among the
poor, as I was—has something of the
resentment felt by a man who ha«
been in prison. For he has suffered
as much as any man who commits a
serious crime against society. But
with the difference that he does not
know what offense he has committed.
I received the first punishment early
In life, nt.d it was some time before
I could discover that my offense was
poverty and humble birth. There Is
no relief for that suffering. So long
as boys born among the poor dare to
have brains and fine feelings snd a
desire to escape from mean streets, so
long they shall be made to pay the
price of their daring.—Thomas Burke,
in Hearst's International-Cosmopoli
tan.

Insect Cannibals
In the struggle for existence many
creatures are driven to live at Im
niense heights.
The climbers of Everest saw a herd
of wild sheep sitting on a glacier
surrounded by pinnacles of lee. They
found bee*, moths, and butterflies at
21.000 feet, and the last traces of per
manent animal existence far above
the Himalayan snow line and 4.000
feet above the last vegetable growth.
These were small spiders.
They live in islands of broken mrk
surrounded by snow and Ice. There
were no signs of vegetation or living
creatures near them, and for food
they ate one another.
Wingless grasshoppers were founii
living at a height of 18.000 feet.
Courtesy
Courtesy Is the one medium of
change that Is always accepted at pat
by the people of every country on the
globe. Courtesy radiates a spirit of
good feeling and suggests that we are
not working entirely for the material
returns of work, but for the friendly
human associations as well. Life Is
not too short, and we are never too
busy to be courteous.
Courtesy is the outward expression
of an inward consideration for others.
It Is always an effective lubricant that
smooths business and social relation
