sitting accommodation. Just as the
train was leaving the station at New
castle a big, broad-shouldered, well-to-do
cattle salesman, panting hard after
a race to the station, opened Xhe car
riage door and jumped in. He flopped
down on the seat opposite to the Eng
lishman, and immediately, feeling that
there was something between him and
the cushion, pulled out from under him
a silk hat,crushed flat. A look of an
guish was on the Englishman's face.
"I'm sure," he said, "you might
have been a little more careful! You
might have looked before you ' sat
down." -
. "Ay, I'm rale sorry," said the. burly
cattleman, "but it micht - ha' been

"How could it possibly have been
worse?" retorted the Englishman, gaz

the reply.

" Never before has there been so much
attention paid to personal appearance
as now.
'The universal prosperity of the na
tion at large seems to emphasize the
importance of success, and the. appear
ance of success. Pleasing drefs, im
maculate- linen, being well-groomed5
and,, above all showing a fine set ot
white teeth, are absolutely essential to
the man or woman who desires to be
considered anybody.
Setting aside the great question oi
the convenience and utility of good
teeth, - and the-pain always involved
when they are neglected, it is better by
far to take good care of the teeth mere
ly as a wise policy in life helping you
to succeed. . What look worse than yel
low, dirty or misshapen teeth? Noth
ing, save it be unsightly holes calling
attention to the absence of teeth.' This
practical consideration of good looks in
man, and beauty in woman, is the chief
cause why modern dentists are increas
ing their practice a thousand fold.
' To. meet the awakening of people7 to
this growing necessity of keeping the
teeth in good order, dental surgery has
taken great strides in advance. No
better example of the completely equip

to their teeth, and the expense, before

done by this firm is absolutely painless,
and the charges are extremely moder

matter for yourself, anyway.
You can rest assured, at all events.

NAMES OF INDIAN YOUTHS.
President Roosevelt Has Placed Check
Upsn an Absurd Practice. '
One reform in the conduct of the In
dian bureau which has been inaugu
rated by President Roosevelt will re
ceive universal approval. He has re
t-Gently Issued an order regarding the
names given to Indians In schools and
on the oflicial records. It is well
known that the name bestowed upon
the Indian on his entrance into the
vestibule of civilization is commonly
a matter of foolish caprice on the part
of some agent or teacher or other
white person. - It is a common trick
to call young Indians at school after
some famous or notorious persons. The
struggles of the young aborigine are
often added to by the . necessity of
bearing through life the name of-Otto
Van Bismarck' or George Francis Train
or'Belva Lockwood or Carrie Nation
or some other equally well-known per
son. Often the straggler relapses Into
barbarism under the mere weight of
this odious necessity.
Still other young Indians are bur
dened with false and ignorant English
translations of the names given them
by their parents, like Dog-That-Jumps-Around
or Hole-in-the-Day (this great
Indian's name should really have been
translated Eclipse), or Old-Man-Afraid-
of-HIs-Horses, and so on. With one
bother and another, the young In
dian's way in civiUzationis likely to
be seriously obstructed by reason of
his name. And even if he is given a
simple and reasonable English name
it often happens that a different sur
name is given to each one of the chil
dren of the same parents a process
which" results in confusion in matters
of inheritance and paves the way for
much litigation.
The President now desires that chtl
dren who enter schools or go upon the
agents' rolls shall, whenever it is prac
ticable, preserve as given names the
Indian names that have been given
them, but shall receive as a surname
the name of their father. This intro
duces a new principle. The Indians
have never h'ad patronymics. They
have had matronymics clan names
and family names but designation has
seldom run with them in the paternal
line.
THE LABORER AND HIS HIRE
Millionaire Who Always Pays When
Work la Done.
V "Never allow a workman to go away
without his pay when it is due,' was
the motto of a millionaire, one of the
members of a firm of Jewelers. The
Philadelphia Evening "Telegraph ex
plains in the Jeweler's own words how
he came to adopt the rule. "
When I first lived in Philadelphia
many years ago, he said, it was a
dreadful struggle to keep myself and
wife and five children.' We lived in
one room, the seven of us. Once in a
while I got work to do at home nights,
and finally we rented two rooms on a
first floor down the street. We lived
in the rear room. The front room was
a shop, which my wife tended in the
daytime, and where I did sucli, repair
work as I could get to do nights. It
was a hard struggle. There wasn't
much to eat sometimes, and paying the.
rent was always -a fearful effort.
One time during this period a mill
ionaire dropped into my shop, and ask
ed me to go to his house, get a certain
French clock, and repair it. The rout
was due-in three days with six dol
lars still lacklns of the sum necessary
to pay it. I tramped out'and got the
clock, and spent most of the next two
nights in repairing it. On the evening
of the third day I tramped back to his
house, carrying the thirty-pound clock,
which I delivered safely to the butler.
In about a quarter of an hour he re
turned and handed me a twenty-dollar
bilJL from which I was expected to give
him-thirteen dollars change, my bill
being seven dollars. I had to return it,
as, I had no money. He left the room
again, and shortly returned and told
me that his master would call next
morning and pay the bill. I was shown
out.
.The millionaire didn't call for a
week, but the landlord wasn't behind
a minute. We gave him all the money
we had, but still owed him three dol
lars. It was a week before any of us
seven had a square meal again. I shall
never forget the dreadful unhappiness
I experienced during -my return from
the millionaire's house; and I never
let a workman whom I owe go unpaid
a single hour after his money is due..
(
A Hasty-Liunoh Education,
There is much discussion nowadays
of the proposition to shorten the course
in our colleges to three or even to two
years. To those who know that the
benefit of a college course is not so
much in passing a certain number of
subjects as In living a certain length,
ef time in a university atmosphere, the
idea of cutting anything off from the
regular four years, ekcept for a few
eager and brilliant students, is super
ficial and unconvincing.
President Woodrow Wilson of
Princeton is credited with the witty
remark, "I cannot imagine how any
body who ever saw a sophomore could
ever thing of graduating one in that
condition."- s
That is a way of putting It that will
appeal to college men. The president
of Oberlin College hit the mark with a
different sort of projectile, but he hit it
in the center.
A student asked him if he could not
advantageously take a shorter course
than that prescribed by the curriculum.
' "Oh, yes," answered the president.
"That depends on what you want to
make of yourself. When God wants to
make an oak, He takes a hundred
years; but when He wants to mnke a
squash He takes but six months.';
Profit In Fir Trees.
A few years ago the balsam fir tree
was considered one of the most worth
less of forest trees, but since the
growth of the Christmas tree industry
it has taken on an, added value. - The
contractors pay from , three to four
cents apiece for the larger ones. This
price seems Insignificant when taken
alone, but when It Is considered that
from 8,000 to 4,000 trees will grow on
an acre and that the trees can be
raised on land worthless for anything
elserit is a different story.
When some people want to praise a
baby, they say, "Why, yon wouldn"t
know there was a baby in the house!"
