The very sound of thosé words, ¢ of them, aftracts A for. bé things to eat. The euphony of the sounds, the pleasant feeling the hearing of the words gives him, would induce Wm to seek them, whatever they might be. Were one to be péssimistic one might say that “‘courtesy” is follow- ing in the path of old time chivalry and s disappearing from among men. The attitude of today seems to be to geot results with the least possible de- lay; to communicate one's thoughts, when necessary, with few words— and then to hasten on to the next matter caling one’s attention. In the rush of the process “courtesy” is often forgotten, and if theé torgetfulness is realized, not regretted. But the dictionary falls far g¢hort of sounding the depths of thé mean- ing of courtesy. In the final apalys the practice of courtesy means thoughtfulness of others combined with a proper reéspéct for self. The courtéous man or boy or woman or girl becomes imbued with the desire to retain for himself or herself the re- spect, the attitude of thoughtfulness which he or she gives instinctively to othérs. The worries and perplexities of life have driven all thought of courtesy from many of those who formerlyy Sracticed it. Absolute misfortune, physical or financlal, has turned many 4 pert=a from a projer consderation for others to an attitude of irritation or deprecating of all things. On the other hand there are many in life who havée grown more though- ful and kind to others because of their upderstanding of those perplexities and worries gained by their own ex- periénce with them. And because of this new attitude they themselves suffer less. And courtesy enters into the spirit of this view of lite. It is the flower that brightens the spot made bare by the necessary work of the world. From a practical standpoint the habitudl practice of courtesy brings a happler life: it brings sometimes wondering respect where respect might be gained in no other way; it stamps the one who remembers to be courteous with & splendid mark which unfortunate &t the fact is, lifts him above most of thése with whom one comes in contact. One is optimistic enough to believe that Doys and girls in schodl long to be réspected for thé manner, in which they conduct themselves. The prac- tice of courtesy is to be cultivated if this is an end desired. No one forgets the young man or young woman who is courteous under all circumstances. When the time comes to select some young or older person tor a position requiring tact and thought, the courteous one re- celves first place in the sélection. It is difficult to cloése & comment upon the splendid practicé of courtesy Books—even libraries might be writ- en on the faacinating subject. Once learned 4nd practiced in youth, it smoéths lifé's pathway for others— for sélf. The courtedus man or woman, boy or girl, partakes much of the beautiful quality of the golden ray of light breaking through a dark, sun- obscuring cloud. L —— FAOTS AGAIN. The session of the City Meeting board called for July 1, will be of such & character that all thé facts may be brought out. The boédy is small enough to per- mit of the hearing of those who have something of an enlightening char- acter to say. It will represént the voters of the city, even though the vote by which 4 Majority of its hémbérs were elect- ed was small. ‘Whatever action It takes on ac- ceptance or rejection 6f the plans of the Board of finance and taxation, and the plans of the Doard of public works must or should be based on the facts presented At present there seems to be a question as to Whether permanent or tempordry pavements should be laid o0 certain streets of the city. There is no question of the wisdom of laying a permanent pavement where the “permanent” pavement will be permanent. There is no question of the folly of laying a permanent pavement where the “permanent’” pavement cannot be permanent. If, for instance, Hartford avenue or SBouth Main étreet have to be torn up to lay 4 trunk sewer, which would be a large undertaking. it would be folly to lay ‘“permanent” pavemen: there before this is done. It has been said that certain amendments will be made to the rec- ommendations of the board of finance and taxation. Such amendments must be filed with the city clerk five days béfore the seasion of the City Meeting bBoard. This wise provision will allow members of the board to look up the proposed amendments and place them in a position t6 vote intelligently on theém aftér heariag the tacts that will B& Brought out at the It will also por-n any persons in- terested to post themselves znd to “JBEST RUMINATIN,” (Robery Russell.) How any feller can look out an’ see the trees a-wavia’, the fresh, green grass a-growin'— depravin’, is somethin’ more then have thoughts that are than thag ol' pipe o° mine can understand; it seems that minds would purer be when summer holds the #and. How any feller can look out an’ see the virgin snow a-coverin' the earth all bright with sunbeams’ blazin® glow, and’ then have thoughts that him degrade, is more than it can see—‘twould help the world a lot it this were felt more gen'rally. Perbaps that pipe don’t understand that humans close their eyes to those much-meanin’ glories o' the earth, the stars, the skies. We sees the beauties o' the spring, an’ winter's life we feel, but we don't make 'em part of us an’ make their lesson real. They pass straight over our dumb heads an’ merely please the eve; we doesn't take a thought to all these lessons signity. Great crops o' gently wavin' grain are there for us to reap; great happiness o’ life 1s there to cherish, aye to keep. when a be- constituents were ignorant previous conferefice took place tween them. The point to be emphasized is that no one is in a position to take a dofinite stand on the wisdom or folly of adopting the recommendations of the board of finance and taxation and the board of public works unless or until that person is in possession of all the facts. Such facts should be brought out fully before the City Meeting board. Other things being equal great con- sideration should be given to the rec- ommendations of the board, mens- bers of which have gone into the sit- uation, as it was their duty to do, and have decided upon what is most wise for the city. There should be considered further the unemployment situation. It arguments in favor of or against a proposition seem 8o equal in wis- dom that a slight straw might turn tie decision, that plan should be adopted which will furnish the most work to the greatest number of men. One hour, spent near the mMunicipal employment bureau almost any day, will convince an oplooker of the wis- dom of this suggestion. “Society Beauty Sues for Divorce’ is becoming a stock headline, but wé all look at the accompanying photo- sraph just the same. ““Coinage of Silver Dollar Re- sumed,” headline—and many of us won’t be affected at all; there's the tragedy of it. It takes a consistent man to stick to the things he said in winter, about the glories of the summer—if the thermometer is knocking at its roof. The man who envies another’'s good fortune pever has any himself if he depends upon others to bring it to him, ‘Easy is it to decide an argument when only one sidé has been heard; still is it easy for the mind which has not room for both. ‘ Try not to speak “about’’ a mat- ter; go directly to the heart of it. If it were as easy to do What they're preaching there’'d be fewer Who always are preaching to you— Each teacher'd become then a “doer.” about Many base their lives on the false reasoning that it “either rains or it doesn’t rain; it doesn’t rain, there- fore it rains.” 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date.)

So far as prices are concerned, the Paige 6-66 is quite obviously the greatest dollar-for-dollar value on the Amer- jcan market. It is not only Jegitimately priced, but it is actually selling for from one to three thousand dollars less than its nearest competitors. We respéct this competition but as business men must insist that the discrepancy is altogether unjustified. Un= less 6-66 prices are vastly increased, the higher priced cars must ultimately reduce. This appears to be the only fair and sensible conclusion. At any rate, please consider this one fact: You can today buy a Paige car with a sense of absolute security because lh(rd degree will be conferred Sun- you are buying on the new readjustment level. There can be no sudden depreciation of your investment—no “price cuts” to meet competitive standards.
